I mean, each has something special to offer this year. Of course The Cottage, hangout for tired Thetas last year, has so far been the most spectacular of them all. Its remodeling job, fea- turing knotty pine and colorful trim had everyone raving the first week of school. Then, of course, they installed Brody Schroff and the boys and piled the customers three high in the booths for days and days between the hours of four and five. Brick ' s has more tradition than any spot in town. Brick ' s has been a hangout since the Hill slickers ordered lemon phosphates to show that they had been around.

We hope the photographic port- folios of Girls ' Rush Week (page 26), of Boys ' Rush Week (page 30), of Swing (page 20), and of Unorganized Groups (page 42), will please most of you, with the possible exception of those par- ticular Betas in that particular shower. Perhaps you will notice that nearly all the written matter in the book is done in a single, distinctive style, new to the Jayhawker. Par- ticularly sparkling examples of this are the bits under the personality pictures and the photos of the new professors. They are by Dick McCann. The boys can find out who to date and the girls can find out who they have been dating by turning to the pledge class section begin- ning on page 35. Next issue is full of girls, girls, girls. New big names, new photo- graphic features, and new features are on the way.

Did you ever notice that the orchestra always goes to Brick ' s for that pause that refreshes That shows something. The Jayhawk is another one of those old spots that is always pop- ular. This year it is going plenty fancy with a Jam Band every eve- ning and a new phonograph ma- chine that is the size of a grand piano. You could play records all night and never repeat. Of course the Blue Mill is in- evitable for the after-the-show coke. It is still a swell place to go to see who has a date with who and to show off who you have a date with. Right now it is sporting the annual new coat of paint, the loudest phonograph in town, and, best of all, Charlie, the most genial host in town. All day long the Union Fountain is jammed. Between classes or in the afternoon, it is the handiest place of all. It ' s actually getting so that if you ask a girl for a coke date it is just assumed you go to the fountain. See what I mean? The thickest milk shakes in town are there, and there ' s a brand new phonograph machine. The DeLuxe is, in our opinion, the finest straight restaurant in town, and George, a swell guy, beams all over at student business. Lots go there for Sunday night sup- per date. I think it ' s best of all for midnight lunch; there ' s everything from Bluepoint oysters to mush- room chop suey on that night menu.

Colors appear vividly both by day and by night. Most prominent in the wheel of fashion are dark subtle greens, gentle beige, reddish browns, royal blues, purple, and the perennial black. Sweaters and skirts still hold first place as the campus uniform, but are topped this year by interest- ing skarfs worn either around the neck or around the head peasant fashion.

Most favored is the three piece suit in plain colors, or a combination of plain and plaid. Swing skirts for Mid-Weeks are guaranteed to help your trucking, especially those banded in bright hues to catch the eyes of the stag lines. Also good on the Hill , are those smartly tailored wool dresses with contrasting swagger jackets. Weaver ' s are featuring heavy black crepes with interesting trimmings for casual afternoon and varsity wear. One has short sleeves and a wide circular skirt trimmed in bands of cire braid; another boasts an Eton jacket trimmed in astonishing purple flowers. The most popular, and incidentally the most con- venient, zips all the way down the front and has touches of braid at the neck and sleeves. Velveteen remains high in favor, and is just the thing for Sun- day night Buffet suppers. Roberta Cooke has one trimmed in white irish lace with a pearl clip at the neck; accompanying this, she wears a matching velve- teen beanie . Emery, Bird, Thayer ' s show some exceptional sport clothes; especially those British tweed coats cut along military lines in scotch plaids centering around bright green and navy blue. High cut oxfords in suede are perfect with clothes of this type; The Royal Shoe Shop carries a variety of these styles. The Topper remains the favorite in hats. Their versi- tility makes them equally appropriate on dates, at football games, or on weekend jaunts to the city . An advance tip on the very smartest in fall and winter coats comes in a late flas h from Rothschild ' s, where they know. Newest thing is the zipper coat- front; their special is bordered in Persian Lamb. Black is unquestionably the leading color, with beige in second place. These tones are replacing the browns of recent years. A part of the same trend is the grow- ing popularity of skunk, instead of fox, as the popular- priced fur. Instead of the perky swagger lines of last year, the newer coats, say Rothchild ' s, have square, padded shoulders with box lines.

This isn ' t just one line of top- coats. It ' s a review of the nation ' s best ... a complete picture of what ' s going on in styling and fabric from one end of this alert country to the other. Make It Soon OBER ' S IT looks like a great year for the | college man from the practical point of view. Whether we lounge or go sporty on Saturdays, the new suits and coats are more practical and more comfortable than any time in recent years. As one might imagine from their increasing popularity last spring, rough tweeds and herring- bones took the front in this year ' s early fall suiting fabrics. Cheviots are also in high favor. In these rougher clothes, very English in every way, the lines go English too. For the first time since im- mediately after the war, the three- button, single-breasted coat is the mark of style supremacy. Later in the season, as the out- door tang of autumn gives way to the smoother living of winter, we may expect the trend to go a bit away from the rougher clothes to hard worsted materials. The double-breasted full English drape is the cut for that suave, man-of-the world appearance. Of course semi-dress suits must always be dark, but a little more lively note is added this year by poly- chromatic pin-stripes. This year ' s campus man is also paying strict attention to his foot- wear. Brogues in brown grains set the pace. It would be a fatal omission, however, to fail to men- tion the smartn ess and practicality of the chocolate Cordovans. For sport, the crepe soles with smooth- leather uppers are sell-outs every- where. Ober ' s gives you the forecast for the formal season. They say the double-breasted tuxedo will be at its height, although single breasted is always good.

Mr. Ober suggests that you come in and see a Midnight Blue tux with tails to go with it. Tails are better and better every year. Although the weather is just be- ginning to hint of top-coats, the trends in coat styles are already well-marked. An investigation of the early dis- plays in prominent stores puts tweeds and hair coats in the ma- jority. On the one extreme, the Balmaacan models with fly fronts and raglan shoulders; on the other, the double-breasted models for your more formal wear. Either in equally good taste. From Kansas City comes word that Wolf Brothers have a geo- graphical background for the new coats that they are featuring. You see, the Isle of Manx, a tiny dot in the Irish Sea, is famous for two things. The Manx Parliament Tynwald Hill is the oldest form of representative government. It is also famous because of the sturdy tweed fabrics woven from the wool of native shep. The Duke of Kent and the Duke of Wind- sor, and other members of the royal family prefer it for its lux- urious quality, and rugged wear. It is these coats that Woolf Brothers so alluringly display, and they certainly deserve an A rating. Carl ' s, here in Lawrence, con- curs heartily with the Woolf Brothers preferences. With them, English Style Balmaacan Top (Continued on page 81) Manx Tweed Toppers Handloomed from native wools on the Isle of Man, the ruggedly handsome fabric has been carefully tailored for us into easy fitting, roomy rag- lans.

LAWRENCE STUDIO Ground Floor 727 Mass. St. Since the first issue of the JAY- HAWKER always must be pre- pared in a few short weeks, many who wish to try out for either the editorial or business side of the staff have not yet had the oppor- tunity of doing so. It has been a busy few weeks both for them and for us. Hence, we now take this opportunity of inviting anyone in- terested in writing, editorial work, office work, or in the busines end of publication work to apply at the Jayhawker office, third floor of the Union Building, within the next two weeks. Our special needs are many. We ' re looking for a columnist with a subtle, clever way of look- ing at things. We liave in mind the type of thing that appears in The Talk of The Town in the New Yorker, or the Don Herold type of thing in Scribner ' s- If you can qualify, you ' re hired. Anybody who can write satire has a market in the Jayhawker. If you have ever drawn any cartoons on campus sub- jects, submit them to us. And we ' re trying to discover a clever, lightly satirical, campus poet of the Ogden Nash or Norman Levy type, someone who won ' t try to be Socially Significant, or Vital. And we ' re still publishing the work of any and all good candid camera- ologists. We ' ll look for you in the office between 1:30 and 5:00.

This Jayhawker business is in- deed a problem. There ' s nothing exactly like it anywhere. You see, it must be progressive and must keep abreast of most modern pub- lication trends because it is a maga- zine; and it must be conservative, with an eye to permanence, be- cause it is the school annual. The editor hasn ' t a ghost of a chance. All in all, it reminds us of a story that is traditional in China, of an artist who was anxious to know what the public thought of his work. He hit upon the plan of displaying one of his landscapes in the public market, placing under it a sign, reading, Anything in this picture which you do not like, please cross out with the chalk which is provided. The artist let his work lie thus for a day, and each person that came by examined the picture and marked his disap- proval. When the artist came back the next day, he found, to his ter- rible disappointment, that th e en- tire painting presented a uniform surface of white chalk, every detail having been marked out. But the next day the artist, just for an ex- periment, set the painting out again, clean of chalk, with the in- structions for passerbys to mark over any detail they liked particu- larly well. The next morning he again returned, to again find every detail covered with chalk. Which is precisely the story, we believe, of putting out a magazine like the Jayhawker. Remember the REVO- LUTION advertising placards with which we plastered the Hill earlier in the Fall? Well, on it we ex- claimed, It ' s all new! It ' s strik- ing! referring to the Jayhawker, of course. The other day we passed by one of these posters in the Ad building on which, under these ef- fusions, some cynic had scrawled in pencil, Same old stuff. That hurt us. It really did. And we would like to call that gentleman ' s attention to this first issue of the new Jayhawker. We ' d like to point out that the make-up is entirely different, featuring the smartest new type faces. We ' re using more pictures, larger pictures, and, most important of all, a new kind of pictures. We ' d like to show the gentleman that the reading matter is shorter, spicier, and that it is nearly all written in a single dis- tinctive style. We ' d like to stick under his nose the new photo- graphic portfolios, the new columns, and the new covers. We ' re not saying it ' s good, under- stand; but we are saying it ' s at least slightly different. It looks as if the Jayhawker exemption slips are permanently gone. Without being required to subscribe, and with raised fees to pay, nearly as many of you bought the magazine this year as last. Wheat money did it, some think. Others say it is due to the fact that in former years all the publicity of the magazine was negative- Most of the talk was of the exemption slips and about not buying the book. But this year we tried to tell you why you would want the Jay- hawker, setting up a positive at- titude. Our real joy occured when a cynical fellow would approach our desk in the fees-paying line and ask warily, Do we have to take it. No, we would answer. All right, then, he would say, I ' ll sign up for it right now. 16 THE JAYHAWKER N r . - ' Ill OCTOBER 19-37 17 HFTER the last rush of Commencement in the spring, a lull falls over the Hill. During summer school the town yawns lazily, and then, in August, it falls sound asleep. Other towns may become dead in summer, but none so dismally dead as a college town when the college is closed. The town boy wanders the sidewalks aimlessly, seeing a Lawrence that others seldom see. Taxi drivers slumped slumbering in the seats of their parked cabs. The Hill hangouts closed completely, their doors bearing signs, Remodeling. Will Open Sept. 1. Barbers sitting in their own chairs, flipping absently through last June ' s Look. Ober ' s windows blank and empty, without lights at night. If the town boy goes to a show, there are perhaps five others in the audience, three of them over forty, two of them under ten. If he enters a store, the proprietor stares at him with suspicious unbelief. But then, in the last few days of August, the town boy has a thrill that others never have, for he sees the Hill awaken. The bang of hammers and the squawk of saws begin to issue from hangouts, from fraternity and sorority houses. Cars bearing Kansas licenses beginning 79 and 6 and 34 , or even plates from Tennessee or Cali- fornia, begin to rumble up Mississippi hill, faces peering curiously forth. Ober ' s windows burst forth in a blaze of light, new shirts, and fall tweeds. Taxis begin whizzing down Massachusetts, suitcases piled behind. Suddenly the movie audiences become younger, larger, and rowdier. Merchants no longer look up sadly and say, I suppose you want to use the phone. It ' s over there. Now they nod curtly and bark, Glad to see you back. Be with you in a minute. Abruptly the Hill hangouts fling open their doors to jammed booths, hysterical feminine greetings, and waiters dashing madly, with aprons flapping; they open their doors to back-slapping, to, YOU still here? WHADdayuhSAY? and to Caravan beating out so deafeningly that the sandwich man has to scream, Whatcha say goes with the ham? To everyone but the town boy it ' s the same old Hill. But to him it is a great, lovable monster which, for some perverse reason, hibernates in the summer and comes to noisy, lumbering, frantic life every fall. THE JAYHAWKER ' OCTOBER 1937 19 THE athletic hysteria which gripped the university last year has largely died down. The Kansan is less vitriolic; the students show more sincere interest and constructive hope, less cynicism and despair. The reorganization of the athletic department is com- pleted, with a new personality at its head. To Gwinn Henry look other Big Six coaches, reinspired alumni, students of K. U. It is time we got to know the man and his plans. Versatility and variety are predominant character- istics of Gwinn Henry ' s life. Born in Southwest Texas, he has spent most of his life in the midwest. In college including Howard Payne college, South- western college, and Columbia University he took second in a national oratorical contest, ran, played football, liked mathematics. Observes Mr. Henry, In Texas everyone thinks of me as a track coach. And with good reason. In 1911 and 1912 he held undisputed the title of the fastest man in the world. His races were innumer- able; in a single four months period he ran three- hundred races from one end of the country to the other. Yet, in his entire career, he was defeated only once. And then the man who gave him his only defeat was himself defeated by Mr. Henry on twelve other occasions. He ran against all the fastest men of his time and defeated all of them. Called the Texas Speed Marvel by the New York Times, he equalled the world records in the 120 yard dash, the 110 yard dash, the 75 yard dash, and held the world record in the 125 yard dash. He was national champion in the 110 yard dash. He was national champion in the 110 yard dash and the 220. As a result of his astonishing record he was chosen a member of the 1912 Olympic Team without even a tryout. Yes, there is a good reason to believe Gwinn Henry might be a top-notch track coach. Kansas and Missouri think of Mr. Henry as a By BLAINE GRIMES football coach, and they too have a good reason. Though fairly light, he was all-Southern and all- Western end for three years. During his five years stay as football coach at the College of Emporia, his teams lost only three games out of forty played. In nine years of coaching at Missouri University, Henry ' s teams won the Big Six championship three times and took second place three times. This was in the days of the Four Horsemen at Notre Dame and of Red Grange at Illinois. And yet in those days Nebraska, with the greatest teams in all her history, was beating Notre Dame and Illinois. In the previous twenty- six years, Missouri had been able to score on Nebraska only once. Then, under the leadership of Gwinn Henry, Misosuri whipped Nebraska three consecu- tive years. Nebraska almost never recovered. Such a thing was not only unbearable; it was utterly im- possible. So the Kansans and the Missourians are as right as the Texans. This is the Mr. Henry we welcome to Kansas University. I started to college at seventeen and I ' ve never been out, says Mr. Henry. Perhaps this explains his understanding of and interest in students which is so striking in the man and in his plans. He feels that the University of Kansas is badly in need of increased facilities for physical training and for the intramural program. He believes that the gym- nasium is absolutely inadequate and that our swim- ming pool is built only for those who are already good swimmers. He states, Girls should have a gymnasium of their own such as girls in every other large university have. There would be less need for a student hospital if girls had the means of securing much-needed exercise, and if boys had the oppor- tunity to participate in the competitive sports which they enjoy. (Continued on page 79) The Cottage was first with a jam band, 4 to 5 P.M., M.C ' d by Brody Schroff. The fellow in the foreground is Jake Ward, whose particular brand of skiddledybip was in great demand for a while. Guest stars were a part of the plan. Here Dorothy Fritz, see page 59, and Eddie Singleton, front man for Louie Kuhn ' s band, have their turns at the mike. The Cottage packed ' em in, wished for expanding walls, slapped on a cover charge in self-defense. Not to be outdone, Jack Townsend, new manager of the Union Building, an early swing enthusiast himself, installed a second jam unit, playing for lunch and dinner. When the Jayhawk, too, got on the band-wagon, Townsend threatened to add a fan- dancer. The spectators watched, swung to the rhythm, ap- plauded wildly. Cokes by the gallon and cigarettes by the thousands were consumed. 21 1 J 1 J Photo by Hoffman In pairs and in crowds the stu- dents flocked to the afternoon sessions. I ONG predicted and hailed enthusiastically, swing has burst onto the |_ Hill. Blaring music, truckin ' , jam bands, the Big Apple all are part of the same sweeping trend for free expression. The style of this fall ' s dancing is a far cry from that of no farther back than last Christmas. Today ' s swing mania at K.U. was forecast just before school opened, as early arrivals pushed back the tables at the new Cottage and danced to the nickelodeon phonograph. Excitement of boys ' rushing was over- shadowed by excitement over the first jam band in a Hill hangout, as sweating, swaying humanity piled three layers deep in booths just for a peek. The cafeteria was next, and then the Jayhawk. When Benny Goodman came to Kansas City, K.U. made a mass pilgrimage, jamming the trains, paralyzing the highway, to stand in wide-eyed worship. Said Goodman over the air: K.U. is definitely an important branch of the swing school. Phcto by Hoffman In the afternoon, they just watched, sometimes standing. In the evening, they danced, at a Varsity or other party, swinging out with abandon. This year ' s music, this year ' s dancing, demands timeouts. These girls were sitting here partly to rest, partly to cool off, partly because room was all gone inside. The ' rested at night too. This gang is on the steps just outside the Union ballroom during one of those sweltering affairs that first week. THE JAYHAWKER i 1 FROM the orchestra platform of the Memorial Union Ballroom on varsity nights, most of the Hill society can be surveyed in one sweeping glance. Inevitable is the small crowd of stags and couples crowded about the stand, too in- trigued by the music to dance. Farther out on the floor more ac- tive couples truck, glide, laugh, and, this year, big apple with noisy enthusiasm. As often as not, whether at a free mid-week or a $3.00 class party, even standing room is at a premium. K. U. is dance-conscious. And the credit is largely that of the K.U. dance bands, Louie Kuhn ' s and Red Blackburn ' s, top-notch in the Middle West. Five years ago students of this University did not know of swing, the blessed event for modern dance bands. Organized campus bands were not capable of meeting outside competition whether on or off the campus. But today, swing, as interpreted by Red ' s and Louie ' s orchestras, is completing the stu- dent ' s education. The orchestras themselves are out of the amateur class, with a record of engage- ments equal to many famous bands in this section of the country. Back in the fall of ' 33, our first personality, found in the bands to- day, broke into the lime light. Red Blackburn, medical student, took over the most prominent Hill band organized and led by one Bill Phipps. Whereupon the in- dustrious Phipps promptly or- ganized another, thus utilizing all the good dance band musicians available on the campus. During that winter these Hill bands handled all the Hill dances more capably than ever before. In the fall of ' 34, Phipps turned over his second band to Bill Hibbs, who successfully fronted it that winter. Phipps, still the man at the controls, acting as booker, keeping the bands busy, remained in the background. Replacing Hibbs as leader and bringing a new name, in the fall of ' 35, came one Wayne Wright, capable, enter- OCTOBER 1937 2J raining, redheaded, already well- known at M.U. The reputation the band quickly gained was re- tained when Dick Gossett took it over in the spring of that year. It was then that organizer Phipps left the campus for more attractive offers in the east, leaving mild chaos among the hodgepodge of student musicians. For some time now a certain Louie Kuhn, with a very passable band but no recog- nition, had been struggling to get engagements, finding competition against the organizing ability of Bill Phipps very hard indeed. Now Louie had the chance he had been waiting for. He and Red, along with the rest of the old timers in the bands, got their heads together, with the result that the three bands dissolved themselves into two com- plete and talented dance bands, incorporated into the Unit Music Service. These surviving bands were the ones that are now sc familiar. Not the least responsible for the success of these bands is Henry Miller, booker for the Unit Music Service. Henry, short, jovial, and vocally inclined, travels about, since his graduation from the Fine Arts school, and keeps the bands busy every week end, which is necessary to guarantee the musi- cians their means of support in school. He also scouts for candi- dates for new members in the bands. All is legitimate; support is promised, and the prospective swing-cat gets his money for the hard work that he expects and loves. A far cry is this from the By CHARLES ALEXANDER haphazard organization of the first university dance bands. Advancement has been spec- tacular. Miller keeps the bands busy and the bands steadily im- prove. As the bands improve they are more in demand, so it is easier to keep them busy. Among the new stars that Henry discovered for K.U. swing include: Dale Alligator Shroff, innocuous master of ceremonies in Louie ' s Band, front man for the smaller Dixie Land jam unit, and hitter of hot trumpet licks. Dale hailed from Kansas State College at Manhattan. Eddie Singleton, present front man for Kuhn, Ray Buckley, and Dorothy Jean Rus- sell, cute little soloist that was such a success in Kansas City last summer and packed the stags in front of the bandstand this fall. Lynn Hackler, first trumpet, had a band at Emporia State Teacher ' s College, and for the past year has been on the road with an orchestra whose engagements in- cluded Chicago and New York. Duff Samples and Don Wright are new ones shipped in from Emporia. And back from six months with Chic Scoggins comes our favorite keyboardman, Bud Frink, still nonchalant, slumped half under the piano- In Louie Kuhn ' s early days, when he was struggling hectically for existence as an outside band competing against organized bands on the Hill, he got his first summer engagement at Rockaway Beach, Missouri. His next summer, 1935, was spent at the Rendevous at St. Joseph. By sheer determination and an improved band he gained headway and reputation. His firs t summer after his full recognition by the Hill was spent at Lake Okabojie, and on the road, play- ing as far north as St. Paul, Min- nesota. He topped all previous records by his splendid reception during his 14 week engagement at Fairyland Park in Kansas City, this last summer, bringing in greater business for the park than did his (Continued on page 79) THE JAYHAWKER fROM the piles of apartment houses in New York Gty and from the Kansas prairies comes the annual horde of Freshmen men to become abruptly a part of the Hill life. Five hundred and fifty strong they were this year, wondering frantically what a mid week is, what intramural means, and if the Union Building has anything to do with these strikes they read about. Last spring the leading men ' s organizations on the Hill, such as the Sachem, the Owl Society, and the Men ' s Student Council determined to eliminate some of the worries, avoid some of the embarrassment, and speed the acclimatization of the new men this fall. The result is the Men ' s Student Advisory System. When the plan was proposed to Dean Werner, he examined its possibilities, improved it, and heartily endorsed it. By BILL FARMER The first step was the nomination, by the organi- zations, of upperclassmen eminently qualified to act as student advisers. These were quickly moulded into a large but efficient organization by Miss Persis Cook, of Dean Werner ' s office. Then, during the summer months, under Miss Cook ' s direction, a bible of Hill information was compiled by some of the advisers, and sent to all the rest. Last of all came the tremendous task of reaching all the prospective fresh- men. Over seven hundred letters were mailed out. During Freshman Week small groups of new- comers met with their upperclassman advisors in classrooms, meeting-rooms, offices, and recreation rooms in nearly every building on the campus for informal conferences. Topics included the History of the University, intelligent self-direction, distribution of time, intramural and varsity athletics, extra-cur- ricular activities, social customs, and even studying. Politics were, of course, discussed from a strictly non- partisan viewpoint. The University of Kansas is a pioneer in any system of Men ' s Student Advisers. But if other schools follow our example, and meet with our success, it (Continued on page 81) OCTOBER 1 9 37 2$ IF tea dancing receives any more impetus this year, | you can guess it will be from Paul Kihm.

Mean- while wheat-moneyed rushees jamed into Corbin, also preparing thmselves. Hectic for both sides was the first day. And then the rushees sat waiting for the sorority girls to make up their minds. The next day the sorority girls sat waiting for the rushees to make up their minds. Tears flowed freely, joy was ecstatic, hearts were broken, and fury was unleashed as emotions ran wild. The result: the best looking pledge class in years, full houses, much criticism of the quota system. When they stopped to rest, they talked of summer dates, how cute was this rushee, and how impossible that.

Gamma Phi ' s are giving this one THE JAYHAWKER IJ I HE number of clubs that have sprung up on the Hill just since school started have reached astonish- ing proportions. We predict that soon the subdivision will be no end confusing. First of all there are two great divisions of Hill students; namely, the organized students and the unorganized students. And then of course the organized group is sub-divided into a good many fraternities and sororities. Now it is getting so that the fraternities and sororities are being sub- divided into even smaller units. The movement started last year, we think, with the formation of the Two-Thirty Club, whose members were those who made the library steps a social center every afternoon at that time. It was formed first semester and got to be such a habit that its members actually formed their second-semester schedules with an eye to that open period at two-thirty. Main activities, besides plain talking and a skilled variety of glazed-eyed loafing, were snow-ball fights that endangered the life of the more serious library students, and mass oaths to do more studying themselves. Started last year and going strong this year is the Thank God It ' s Friday Club, meeting every Friday afternoon on the Pi Phi sun porch to celebrate with pagan en- thusiasm the coming of the week-end. Its members include, besides the Pi Phi nit-wits, a sprinkling of Phi Gams, Sig Alphs, and others. Last year the darned fools bought a flock of these little tenant- store toy instruments that you hum into and organized their own swing band. This year they are Big Appleing and riding around in an old model-A shouting to everyone looking glum, Thank God, It ' s Friday! Resurrected from the past is the old X.O.D.U. (pronounced Exodu), comprising, as the name indicates, some Chi O ' s and D.U. ' s, mostly hellers. Let your imagination run wild on this one, and you won ' t be far wrong. At their weekly meetings they feature souvenirs, pulling up at the Chi O house about ten-thirty loaded down with salt cellars, glasses, menus, and odd signs. Latest is the O.M.G.G.L.S.N.C., the last three letters standing for Sunday Night Club. It ' s composed of three boys and dates who have officers, pledges, a handshake, and a motto. Which reminds me also of another bunch of five boys that get together every Sunday night to spend a quiet evening just wishing that they could have some beer, so they could have a real, old-fashioned Dutch lunch. They call themselves the Ye Gods, Sunday Night Again! Club. It ' s all kind of silly, and could probably be analyzed by a first-rate psychiatrist, but at the rate that the things are springing up, we could make a special column of them. keaton ItJluf.. ke: It just occurred to us the other day, as we were sitting in the Sour Owl hole-in-the-wall the other day, wishing our office was down that near the fountain, the real, fundamental reason behind the peculiar level of the magazine ' s intellect. Since we were sitting on the base of our spine, our eyes lit upon the intake of the ventilating system. Then we noticed that all the doors were closed tight. Since there are no windows, it was obvious that the situation was alarming. The ventilating system was pulling air out all the time and no more was coming in. You see, the Sour Owl is really produced in a small vaccuum. Didn ' t want to be nasty, but thought we ' d just mention it. Now that it ' s here, we wonder what caused it. The Big Apple should not be such a surprise, though. The dancing has been getting more and more open and more and more individual for a year or so. Remember, in about 1932 everyone held his partner OCTOBER 19-37 29 close and danced nice, conservative, walking steps to nice, conservative, sentimental tunes? Then we all began loosening up a little, occasionally trying that new-fangled side-wise rumba step. By this year, swinging one ' s partner out was a neat trick that all the better dancers had in their repertoire. Now, it ' s every man for himself. What has caused this trend no one quite agrees on. To us there is a marked similarity between truckin ' or suzy-q-ing and the old Charleston craze that swept the country in the middle twenties. That was just after the catastrophe of the World War; this is just after the catastrophe of the Great Depression. There may be no connection, but we kind of wonder. Perhaps, if dancing is really a spontaneous expression of one ' s spirit, we always try to express our joy or relief in dancing. Also, I think the tremendous popularity of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers had a lot to do with the trend in general. They looked good and above all so, so easy that we all saw no reason why we shouldn ' t try it too. Music had a lot to do with it too. No matter what you say, the kind of music you dance to has a lot to do with what kind of steps you do. For the past three or four years, swing music, with a definite neg- roid flavor, has been in the ascendency. It was in- evitable, then, that we try those slick negroid steps to go with it. What gets us is that some people think it is bad taste. Most of the more conservative fra- ternities on the campus frown on it. We don ' t see how anything that is so spontaneous and so in the mood and feeling of swing music, which no fra- ternity frowns on, can possibly be in bad taste. If it ' s natural, it ' s all right. If the Big Appiers are just doing it to make a spectacle of themselves and there are always some of that kind then we ' re out on it. That ' s about where we stand, while we wait breathlessly for some enterprising couple to try the Lindy Hop. Pi Piu Something has to be done about the Pi Phi phone system. I suppose some of them over there know how it works, but it ' s beyond our more simple understand- ing. We called there the other night, and it went something like this. We asked Operator for 415, she rang, and someone cooed Pi Phi House. We asked for Marianna Bantleon. After a short pause a new voice said, Yes? We said, Marianna-? But just then the first voice said, Marianna Bantleon, please. Whereupon the second voice said, Just a moment, please, and there was another pause, and a click, and several buzzes, and someone chirped, Pi Beta Phi! I said it had been answered, and there was another pause. Then a totally different voice said, Who did you want, please Even Pi Phi ' s sometimes aren ' t worth that much. Jl We are inveterate night owls, and we take a ter- rible beating for it. Our room-mate curses us heartily, sitting up in bed and giving us long lectures on what Society should do to individuals who sleep in the afternoon so they can sit up late studying at night. But somehow we still think we are right. Studying in the day-time, whether in the most crowded room of the library or in one ' s own cubbyhole at home, means a million little subconscious distracting elements either the sight of other people or the sound of other people; or the sense that one could be doing some- thing else; or the sight of sunlight outside. But at night everyone is asleep but the studier. The study lamp carves a little world out of a universe of dark- ness; the reality of the desk is the only reality at all. No one could help but study. Some night when our room-mate isn ' t too surly we ' ll tell him all about it. IS The activrs arrived by train, bus. auto, and hitchhiking WHILE girls tead and talked boys too began to ar- rive. They too cleaned, painted, moved-in. Unlike the girls, they house the rushees, so Thursday night saw hordes of excited, tired, or tipsy rushees into fraternity house beds. Actives took to the floor. Fri- day was hectic, with frozen smiles in the front rooms and hearty curses at the skulduggery in other houses. Wild humors were rampant. By Friday night most minds were made up. Saturday the fight was desperate for the remaining few. Sunday night the boys yelled themselves hoarse and settled down to meet every- body. And mowed the summer ' s growth of grass (A.T.O.)

O B E R 1937 33 By GEORGE MURPHY ONE cool gray morning around 1856, a raucous fellow on a wobbly yellow mule cantered into the small Free State town of Osawatomie. From his saddle-horn hung a great turkey, four chickens, and a string of red peppers. Trailing behind, plodded a goat encumbered with a sack of potatoes, a pair of boots, and a sheep-skin. The rider, one Pat Derlin, had retaliated on the Missouri Pro-Slavers by pillage and plunder. Where you been? shouted an early riser. Answered Pat with a twinkle, Oh, been Jay- hawkin ' over in Missouri. So Pat coined a word that day that was perfectly expressive of the spirit of himself and of his steed. During subsequent border warfare the Missourians seized the title and applied it to all Free Staters as a term of derision and scorn. In the same way, the British troops once called the American revolutionists Yankee in loathing; and the word Jayhawker , just as in the case of the word Yankee , was adopted by those it was intended to annoy, and soon became a synonym for any Kansan. It remained, however, for the later university to elevate the Jayhawk to an exclusively idealized form. THE JAYHAWKER I ; m In 1903 a Kansas Gty cartoonist represented K.U. ' s 5-0 win over M.U. with a fighting bird flying away with victory. Caricatures of this little fellow, representing the university, began to appear in the Annual of 191 1. By this time the bird and the name were completely united and the resultant symbol be- came conventionalized. Later, and slowly, this curious little felolw as- sumed a greater significance than any other college symbol, because it developed a personality. True, there is the Missouri Tiger, the California Bear, the Detroit Lion, the Pitt Panther, and countless others; but the Jayhawk is unique. Whereas the others are largely stilted and artificial, the Jayhawk is real, with a colorful, cocky existence of his own. To say, I ' m from K.U. means no more than to say, I ' m from M.U. or O.U. or S.M-U., such terms carrying with them at best only a hazy picture of college. But to say, I ' m a Jayhawker, releases a new feeling. It brings up pictures, not only of the bird itself, but of the million vivid college memories of the Hill, of the town, of the roomates and best girls that all together mean K.U. and that could belong only to K.U. And most of all it brings up a flashing picture of the Jayhawkers that have gone before, that have themselves both been proud to call themselves Jay- hawkers and been a part of making the Jayhawker a term to be proud of. The winning or losing of any one year or group of years in sports at K.U. cannot change the fact that among the world ' s finest players in every sport are Jayhawkers, holding allegiance to the same symbol, sharing the same spirit, as each of us does. Among football immortals is Tommy Johnson, probably the greatest athelte ever to attend this school, and was without peers in his time. Many older Kansas men can remember the day called the greatest thrill in gridiron history when he ran ninety yards for a touchdown, only to be called back on a Kansas off-side. Then, the next play, undaunted, he raced 95 yards through a broken field to the goal line again. He was the greatest pole-valuter and hurdler in the West for a decade. Dutch Lonborg, now at Northwestern, Bert Pooler, and more recently, Elmer Schaake, in their respective eras were nationally known. Had Schaake been with an outstanding eleven, he undoubtedly would have been All-Ameri- can. And tribute is here paid to Charley Black, our greatest living athlete, a gridiron warrior of wide fame, versatile in every other major sport. For 12 out of 16 years Kansas has held the Big Six Basketball Championship. In 1923 and 1935 the team was without a defeat. Graduates today speak with great favor about the immortal captain of the 1923 quintet, Paul Endicott. Bob Heiser in 1908 and 09, Al Peterson a few years later, and the present Ray Ebling have won permanent places among the basketball great. In the field of track, Kansas shines brilliantly. We have produced probably more great decathlon win- ners than any other univeristy. Everett Bradley, who holds the record for scoring the most points in a conference meet, and Poco Frazier, for three years a championship distance man, are great names. Jar- ring Jim Bausch, 1932 Olympic decathlon winner and record holder, was a national idol. In school now are students who were present when the Nebraska- Kansas dual meet hinged on the last event, the javelin throw. Bausch, exhausted after having just com- pleted the 1000-meters run, came through in his typical under-pressure form and in his first toss estab- lished a mark no Cornhusker could attain. The much- prized mile record belongs to another great Jay- hawker, Glenn Cunningham, the world ' s premier miler. In other fields, Wilber F. (Junior) Coen, at one time Bill Tilden ' s doubles partner on the Ameri- can Davis Cup team, and Pete Mehringer, 1932 Olympic wrestling champion, are two men proud to be called Jayhawkers. To cover all the other Kansas claimants to fame in the world of sports is impossible in this article. They are many and were indispensable to their branch of sports. To shift to the field of politics, two of the most prominent figures are Jayhawkers Alf Landon and William E. Borah. The nationally known journalist, the Sage of Kansas, William Allen White, is a Jay- hawker. Roy Roberts, Marvin Creager, Charles F. Scott, and Oscar Stauffer, all well known journalists, claim Kansas. ] Acacia THIRD Row: Melvin Adams, Augusta; Bob Burns, Kansas City, Mo.; Junior Hart, Clinton, Mo.; Ned Martin, Burden; Max Cole, Marysville; Clinton Wood, Garnett.

I THE JAYHAWKER Editor ' s note: This amazing serin of letters is absolutely authentic. Written by an Argen- tinian Exchange Scholar at K.U.. they have been carefully copied one by one by his room- nule. who. as luck would have it. is on the Jayhawker staff. We present them to our readers as supreme examples of unconscious an. Their glorious simplicity one might almost say crudeness is epic in quality. All we have been able to unearth about the boy, whose name is Gabriel Estranez, is that he was raised on a vast cattle ranch, far bade in the foot-hills of the Argentine. Since most of his education has been that of the gaucho. it was simply his natural powers of perception and quick thinking that led a wealthy uncle to send him to college. Even today, at K.U., this man is financing the lad. and it is to him that all Gabriel ' s Tetters are addressed. VC ' e present the letters to you almost exactly as they were written, the boy having already mastered remarkably well the technical problems of the English language. 15 October, 1937 My dear Uncle: Oh, Sir, most respected and benificent, I have very much to tell you. I believe I told in my first letter only how I arrived and be- came settled in my present place of residence on a Tennessee Street. But since that day there have been many adventures. Early one morning I started out to do what they call register. Registering at Kansas University is much like branding the little cows on our rancho, only it takes much longer. I went up on what appeared to be the main street on the appointed day and asked a friendly looking student where to register. Sender Ad, he said. Looking in my little guide book, I could not find Sender Ad, but, not being at all bashful, I asked an- other student and was directed to a great, beautiful building. When I arrived, there were many hund- reds of students standing in a long, long line, which extended far down the hall. I joined them in the wait, which was long. An hour and a half was required for the line to move one rope ' s length. Finally I arrived at a little gate where a man said, New student? I nodded and he pointed to another Jong line inside and said, Wait there. Another hour of the day passed before I moved up to a desk, where a woman asked, once more, New student? , and then Ever go to other college? , and finally, Ever go to summer school? Then she said to wait and went away and brought me a little bit of card- board. Am I, I asked to her, what you say, registered? No, she said, this is your permit to register. I joined another long, long line and after much time was given a great lengthy card made up of many cards. Joining many hundreds of students at a very large table, I filled out the hundreds of blanks. I wrote my name till I thought I would never want to see it again. When all was finished, a little girl told me to get in the back of an- other long line. After much time, I reached the first table where a man grabbed the card and pushed it to another who marked it. Next another grabbed it and pounded it many times as if he were very angry at it. Soon the line passed behind a screen where many lights shone with the brightness of the sun. As I approached it, a man shouted, College ninety-seven, and I started to walk on by the screen to catch up with the man ahead. But in the midst of the lights a man shouted, Wait a minute! I whirled, necktie flying, mouth open, eyes squinting. That ' s all, said the man, and I passed on in great wonder. Many people at many other tables tore off my cards, gave me little printed sheets, and had me write my name on many other things. It is with shock and loathing, Uncle, that I tell you that I at- tended an affair several nights past, which is called here an Open House. Why it is called that I do not know, unless it be an example of this North American humor in which it is funny to call a thing that which it is not. It was all very confusing and frightening, but the custom is something like this. A group of girls who have banded together in what is called a sorority invite every man at the University to the living-room of their house. There a group of musicians blow into horns as if they were playing for a great outdoor fiesta, and in a strange, mad tempo. The girls stand in one place jigging up and down, or swaying back and forth, while the boys stand around them taking turns holding their bodies close and jigging or swaying them- selves. If this is North American dancing, I will be very homesick for the pampas very soon. Your humble and affectionate servant, Gabriel. Hollywood has its Hurrell; but the Jayhawker has its Hixon. Either place, this is Art. Out there where they know about such things they ' re going wild about this startling camera technique. Here, Hixon scratches his head and is skeptical about how it will be accepted. But we are more confident, for we have seen the Hurrell pictures in Esquire cut out and pasted on the walls of fra- ternity rooms. And this masterpiece, gentlemen, we think worthy of the honor. The girl is Betty Butcher. THE JAYHAWKER 1 HRRIVING usually some- what after the fraternity and sorority members, the great army of unorganized students swarms in, none the less active, none the less dra- matic. Sometimes it is back into a close-knit little in- dependent group; sometimes it is into a new house, among strangers, where there is a cocky farmer boy you are friends with the first day, and where there is a secretive fel- low in the next room that you instinctively know will lock himself in the bathroom for interminable hours. The women of the house ' lUllllt the personalities behind those impersonal Rooms for Rent signs also have their troubles. There is inevitably the hay -seed who has ob- viously always taken his baths in the horse-trough and who now haughtily demands a room with private bath. And equally inevitably the repressed little girl who is so bewildered by it all that she packs up and leaves after two weeks. Incidentally, the men immediately below have a special distinction, an environ- mental problem, for they are the exchange students. OCTOBER 1937 Avul the 1937 teatou i iwdesi wjuj, 4ucceM but By BILL FITZGERALD AYHA KLR football tans (J who have been clamoring for some real football at the University got their first glimpse of the school ' s New Deal in Football Saturday, September 25. The glimpse was not unpleasant though the Freshman team providing the opposition hadn ' t enough practice together to make the good show- ing expected. Missouri has proved that a wonderful recovery can be made in two or three years, and the eyes of the Big Six are now on Kansas. But too much can not be claimed for this year. We have too far up the ladder to climb from the depths into which we were pushed in 1936. The most optimistic ob- servers can ' t see more than three or four victories for Lindsey ' s team this year, but after watching the new crop of freshmen the outlook for the future is much brighter. Chanute ' s much publicized Ralph Miller, for one, with his kicking, passing and running, looks like a coming star Buck Bukaty was not far behind Miller in brilliance. And with such backs as Bunsen, Belshe, Hall, Morgan, Suagee and Thompson, to mention only a few, to back up this duo, you can almost picture a crowded ium in a year or two. Frosh aterial isn ' t limited to the backs W however. There are the immov- able twins from Chicago, Merkel and Martin, tackles, who cause slight tremors in the stadium as their collective 465 pounds trot across the field. Burge, Allen, Renko, Wenstrand, Kaul, Gire, and Pierce are a few more linemen who are not only big, but fast and tough. But let ' s forget the future for awhile and look at this year ' s team. Against the Frosh the Varsity really appeared to know how to block and tackle and some of the old time fight and fire, so sadly missing last year, was noticeable. It looked good to see holes open up in the line scampering backs galloping through with a chance to shake loose once they got in the open. The sophomores carried plenty of punch and if the veterans decide to forget past grievances and play football they may quit referring to Kansas as the Dead- hawks around the Valley. The Kansas success this season depends largely on the way the Sophomores come through. Against the Frosh they were shin- ing lights, but tougher opponents may cause the lights to flicker and perhaps go out. The ball carrying of Milton Sullivant and Dick Amerine may he the stimulus the team needs; Rosacker and Cadwal- ader are two other sophomores who can go places behind good interference. Then there are Ly- man Divens, who should be the star of the team through his run- ning, passing and kicking, and Max Replogle, almost certain to be a regular due to his steady all- around ability. Against the year- lings, J. D. Richardson, junior halfback, gave a sample of his speed that left the Freshmen gasp- ing. Richardson may develop into a star. Paul Masoner is looking better this year than ever before but he will have to work to keep the quarterback position away from Milton Meier, a good aggressive blocker, and Emil Weinecke, who is beginning to show some of the stuff he flashed two years ago. The hardest fight that for fullback, terminated suddenly when Dave Shirk decided to go back to his old love, left end. Douglass still will have a scrap on his hands to keep ahead of Maurice Cannady, who is much faster but not as heavy as Douglass. Weakness on pass de- fense will count against Douglass. There is a strong possibility that Sullivant may be shifted to this position as he is equally good on offense and defense. From tackle to tackle, the Kansas line is as good as any in the Conference with the exception, possibly of Ne- braska. The most strongly fortified posts are the guards where burly George Stapleton and Ferrell Anderson hold down everything from the fort to the enemy score. Anderson ' s speed makes him a good swinging guard. Fred Bosilevac, looking like all-conference material, will be at one tackle while the Jeff part of this Mutt and Jeff com- bination, stocky Lewie Ward, will be at the other. At center, Chuck War- ren, former captain of the Fort Scott Junior College team, appears to have the edge over Jack Hall. The ends, which have been Lindsey ' s big problem, are gradually shaping up and with Dave Shirk ' s decision to shift back to a wing post the line is fairly well fortified. Paul White, 190 pound sophomore, is likely to team with Shirk although two pony ends, Hardacre, 162, and Chitwood, 160, are making strong bids for first team berths. Coach Adrian Lindsey, around whom storm clouds were gather- ing last fall, appears to have solved some of his difficulties and may find that silver lining after all, was given some additional help this fall and now can concentrate more on the team as a whole instead of having to devote a lot of time to each individual player. Headlining the new staff is popular Glenn Presnell, former all-American halfback from (Continued on page 76) THE JAYHAWKER I OCTOBER 1937 1 01 - -c J u tot Thel c books out ot yho iodic -;; ,- cto d otines H tno9 l EFLECTING every phase of stu- || dent life and student charcter, the Watson library, more than any other building on the Hill, is the melting-pot of all students. Sedate, gothic, withal collegiate, is the building itself, a strange contrast to the gaity and abandon that has characterized the collective K.U. mood thus far this year. In fact, because of the monastic air lent by the seven great, gothic, arched windows, the Reference Room is popularily referred to by the stu- dents as The Church. And, simi- larly, the Reserve Room is known as The Dungeon. Though primarily an im- By JOHN W 1 is ' s9 n as thot tfo So- 47 personal storehouse of impersonal volumes, the true interest of the library, from the standpoint both of the librarians and the students, lies in the personalities. The librarians are, for the most part, courteous, accomodating, reserved to the point of austerity, and amaz- ing in their anticipation of one ' s needs, even of one ' s specific as- signment. The students, from the standpoint of the librarian, are sometimes friendly and stimulat- ing, sometimes aggravating and puzzling. The librarians claim they see human nature at almost its worst. An honest, intelligent, highly moral person in every other BONDESON regard will walk brazenly from the building with a reserve book under his coat without a twinge of con- science. The University Library stands as a permanent memorial to Carrie M. Watson, its librarian emerita, and the former librarian of the school. Huge of stature, the struc- ture houses a collection of more than 250,000 volumes and main- tains files of more than a thousand periodicals. The collection of books has grown, in three generations, to its present proportion from 2,500 volumes. It was housed first in a south room of Fraser. With gradual growth, it became neces- sary to utilize two floors in the north end of the same building. In 1894, the first box of books was moved into the new Spooner library at the top of 14th street. THE JAYHAWKER Spooner was quickly outgrown; by 1920, there were more than 120,000 volumes there, and inadequate accomodations for reference work in the building. Ground was broken for the new library in 1920; and with the building of the present library, came the realization of Aunt Carrie Watson ' s dream for a model institution for the University which she had served so well for so long. In 1924, Watson library was opened for the use of students, and the old library became the Spooner-Thaver museum. Too weary to assume the task of organizing the new library. Miss Watson retired from active duty in 1921, after 43 years of service, becoming librarian emerita. The task of organizing the new library fell to E. N. Manchester, her successor, who served as director until 1928, when the present director, Charles M. Baker was drawn from the University of North Carolina to succeed him. To Mr. Baker has fallen the task of maintaining library service and efficiency during the leanest years of the past de- pression. In spite of steadily decreasing appropria- tions, the library has met the needs of the students at all times. Economy has, on different occasions, caused the library to operate on limited hours. For a while it was closed at 9 o ' clock; many complained, saying that the hour from 9 to 1 was far more valuable for study than was the dinner hour. So means were found to keep the library open until 10 o ' clock. Few know of Watson ' s vault a magic room hous- ing the more valuable books. First editions, rare manuscripts, files of University publications, un- expurgated editions of famous works, and Kansas history are kept there. Miss Maud Smelser, librarian in charge of the vault, has nursed it for many years, and has seen it grow in size and in value. There are many fascinating tales surrounding many of the price- less possessions it holds. Clara Gillham, reference librarian, is another of those who have watched the library grow into ma- turity. To her come letters and requests for infor- mation from countless state institutions. Hospitals, asylums, the penitentiary, and many schools write to her for books, statistics, and general information. Several inmates of the federal penitentiary at Leaven- (Continued on page 78) I,, OCTOBER 1937 THE JAYHAWKER OCTOBER 1937 PEOPLE are interesting no end.

[ARLY in October the intramural football fields were dotted with men, dressed for the most part like rag-pickers, passing footballs, shouting, running back and forth. By the middle of the month the regularly scheduled games were drawing not only hundreds of actual contestants each day, but also hordes of screaming sorority girls rooting for this week-end ' s date, and many casually interested spectators. Thus is the 1937-1938 Men ' s Intramural program launched. The year will see many more hundreds who like exercise and sport but are not good enough for varsity com- petition having their fun in touch football, basketball, baseball, wrest- ling, track, handball, tennis, vol- leyball, horseshoes, swimming. More non-fraternity men are enter- ing the games every year, with competition becoming increasingly keener as a result. The increased major-sports teams that were started last year proved successful enough to be continued this year. Thus, in foot- ball there are both eleven man and six man teams, givi ng more men a chance to enjoy this most popular of all intramural games. In basket- ball each organization may enter three teams, A, B, and C. Points are given for entering and for winning these sports, and a much-coveted trophy is presented by the intramural office to any or- ganization that collects the greatest number of points during the year. Last year ' s competition gave Beta Theta Pi the highest number of points, Phi Delta Theta next, and Sigma Chi third. In team com- petition Sigma Alpha Epsilon was the most outstanding. The Sig Alphs won basketball, baseball, volleyball, and were near the top in football. On the other hand, the Betas, holders of first place, as- sembled a great number of points in the single-man competitions such as tennis, handball, and horse- shoes, although even there their only first was in tenins. The Delta Taus took first in horseshoes; the Rockchalks, in handball; the Phi Gams, in swimming; the Sigma Chis, in golf. In wrestling, the (Continued on page 77) I 1 7 f:: 1 v 1 V n THE JAYHAWKER OUND and round it goes; where it stops, nobody knows. And so the social wheel spins furiously forth this year, leaving in its wake a string of weary revelers. The socialites have been on the run since the opening day of rush week, so let ' s pause to glance over a few of the gala occasions taken in by the fun- hungry mob. Monday night, September 13, and the Union ball- room provided the setting for the first varsity pre- sented by Paul Kihm, genial dance manager. Red Blackburn furnished the music for a crowd of eager. but naive, freshmen, and a sprinkling of bored upper- classmen. An unique rendition of Twilight in Turkey proved the highlight of a sweltering evening de- voted to initiating the yearlings into the art of trip- ping the light fantastic ... on everybody else ' s tired shuffler ' s. A single day revived the drooping spirits, so back to the Union Jack and Jill did go on Wednesday night, this time under the musical tutelage of Louis Kuhn and his new swing-lined edition of an orchestra. His trucking songstress isn ' t a deficit by any means, if the flocking of the stag line around the band stand when she sways into action is any indication of her popu- larity. Janes Coats and Waring were hard put to it to keep the stags away from such competition, but they managed to do so with partial success. The Theta ' s crowded all interested males into the ballroom Firday night under the musical surveillance of Red Blackburn. A handsome group of neophytes were presented for everyone ' s approving nod in pre- paration for the evening ' s mad scramble of give and take. Betty Butcher took more than one or two scattered breaths, reminding one of Jane Blaney ' s sweeping debut last year. Incidentally, that little lady is still flying high in the estimation of the stag line, despite the customary seasonal slump. As the depart- ing throng passed through the portals at 12 o ' clock, numerous laudatory remarks were heard, especially complimenting the young ladies on their good judg- ment in transacting the evening ' s business in the Union ballroom. As your correspondent did not attend the Chancel- lor ' s Reception this year, Betty Graham, who was OCTOBER 1937 55 there but definitely, will describe it in her own words: The Chancellor received on Saturday night, Sep- tember 18. In 1926, the Chancellor ' s Reception meant a gathering of faculty members in Spooner Thayer museum to welcome the student body, pre- sided over graciously by Dr. and Mrs. Lindley. This year it meant a long queue of formally-bedecked per- sonages of the faculty, identified by name tags more or less prominently pinned on introducing themselves to the mob that had come to dance. On the first floor of the Union they endured the presentation of those students unable to evade the receiving line. Assist- ing hosts with the Chancellor and his wife were Pro- fessor and Mrs. W. C. McNown and Professor and Mrs. E. E. Bayles. On entering the receiving line, the students were likewise branded with identification labels. Perspiring Jay Janes poured rather tepid pink punch, offering it to the faculty ' Will you have some punch? ' and to the students ' Have you had some punch? ' In the days of the Spooner Thayer receptions, ' a program of music was played throughout the eve- ning ' . This year, the Hill swung out beginning at 9:30, to Louie Kuhn ' s new and improved brand of rhythm. Hampered only slightly by the temperature Ye Gods! but it was hot the crowd relaxed after being received by getting in the groove as it is being got into on the Hill this year. The turnout was terrific, and the crowd on the dance floor made dancing the impossibility it always is at a free dance. Early in the evening the faculty mingled ( to put it mildly for such a mob scene ) with the undergraduates, tails and formals if nothing else identifying them and proving that the profs can be dragged to a rat race as long as it ' s the Chancellor ' s rat race. After intermission, the faculty retired, fifty per cent of the student body gave up the struggle, and it turned out to be a swell dance for everyone that stayed. September 18, another Chancellor ' s Reception. New students swarmed up the hill, anxious to meet the high moguls of learning. Then up the steps raced the fanatics, eager to get started on another night of squirming and twisting. Frank Wilson and Hugh Jones whirled from one bump to another, but it must be inserted here that Louis Kuhn managed to keep some semblence of harmony among the dancers. The prevalent mania for trucking led to the Big Apple Varsity on Friday, September 24. Louis Kuhn ' s band, with Dale Brody Schroff as master of ceremonies, officiated over the efforts of several of the Hill ' s more promising prospects in the field of hoofing. In the trucking contest, Jack Richardson and Betty Jean Sayles sallied forth in loose jointed unison to take the doubles title, while Alice Marie Meyn who could truck forwards, backwards, sideways and in circles, and Bill Southern, carried away the singles honors in their respective fields. The rest of us just danced in our own clumsy way. Calmly turning their backs upon this ribald raucity, the Beta ' s quietly held a gathering in the chapter house with Red Blackburn appropriating the strains of the more subdued waltz music. Even so, Mac Crouch conducted a trucking school at intermisison which bade fair to surpass that held further up the incline of the Hill. Turning to athletics, the student body appraised the revamped Kansas football team for the first time as it overwhelmed the Freshmen by a score of 32 to 0. The varsity went into its song and dance with the opening whistle, giving the patrons a preview that promises much in the weeks to come. A great migration movement, leaving the campus practically devoid of habitation, took place September 25. The king pin of the swing world, Benny Good- man, was the reason behind the madness, attracting dancers from near and far into the Municipal Audi- torium in Kansas City. Familiar faces were seen weav- ing, hopping, and skipping to and fro, so that it was just another Kansas varsity as far as we were con- cerned. Several Pi Phi ' s and Phi Gam ' s were so com- pletely overjoyed at the opportunity of obtaining such an intimate glimpse of their idol that their antics were nothing short of frenzied fanaticism. The evening ' s entertainment finished in a flourish of flailing arms by the Goodman quartet, sending the happy enthusi- asts home with a pleasant glow. Wednesday returned the students to normalcy with another mid-week, the habitual hour of relaxation to (Continued on page 78) D DOROTHY HENDRICKSON JOHN BEGERT MARJORIE SMITH RAY MOSELEY MARY Jo CONNEL J 1 J 58 THE JAY HAWKER - 1 J 1 1 J - - I HIS is the Chancellor. Tall about six feet his spare, youngish face topped by a mop of white hair, Dr. Ernest Hiram Lindley looks and is typically mid-western. A Hoosier by birth, (October 2, 1869) an accomplished fisherman, and a holder of many degrees, he has been K.U. ' s chancellor for seventeen years, the eighth person to bear that title. Formal schooling began in Bloomington, where after high school, he worked for three years in his father ' s drug store before entering the University of Indiana. In college he romanced the present Mrs. Lindley, participated in student political campaigns, graduated in 1893, but remained on as an instructor in the department of psychology. In 1902, he as- cended to a professorship and head of the department. Far from cutting learning short upon becoming a professor, the Chancellor, strong advocate of adult education, on leave of absence from Indiana, held a fellowship at Clark University, receiving his doctor ' s degree there. After Clark, he studied abroad at Jena, Leipzig, and Heidelberg. Back in the United States, he received further instructions in psychology at Harvard. From 1917-1920, Dr. Lindley was president of the University of Idaho. There, during this period, en- rollment increased sixty per cent, and under university direction the biggest increase of any state in agri- cultural development took place in answer to the needs of the war era. Invited in 1920 to become Chancellor of the Univeristy of Kansas, Dr. Lindley accepted and was formally inaugurated on February 8. In 1932, the Chancellor was granted an L. L. D. degree by his Alma Mater and was one of ten dele- gates to the Olympics in Los Angeles. The University of Delaware accorded him the degree of Doctor of Civil Law in 1934. In brief: Nationally known as a citizen, dis- tinguished as an educator, progressive in his policies, always interested in student problems is Chancellor Lindley.

Some are probably prompted by a more practical, pecuniary motive to learn the profession of journalism but woe be unto these latter, for they are about to be disillusioned. At any rate their combined ef- forts, including plenty of extra- curricular work serve to make the innards of our student newspaper vital to Univeristy living and as habitforming as our early morning cup of coffee. Few realize the real service rendered by the Kansan. Some condemn with unblushing alacrity the manner in which it strives to serve the majority of the students. Yet the Official Students News- THE JAYHAWKER w the KanAan: and a t uwat In all and Social Ollicial L all paper of the University ranks as one of the best all around college newspapers in the United States. As a student project it might point with pride to many achievements. As a student newspaper its record and position is worthy of com- mendation. Probably the most essential service rendered Mt. Oread com- monwealth is the daily publication of the Chancellor ' s bulletin. It thereby becomes the official bul- letin board for the University. The Campus Opinion column is its forum. Perhaps this column might be termed the safety valve of the student body. In every ap- pearance it contains a gripe, view, or opinion. Any student or group may become satirical, sarcastic, OCTOBER 1937 61 comical, or blaspheming while venting himself or themselves through this column. A thorough and complete coverage of all Hill functions and activities is orovided in the paper ' s news. Anything from the report- ing of Susie ' s weekend visit with her aunt in Oskawatomie to a play-by-play account of the Home- coming game or the outcome of a student election may appear. World News events secured through United Press bulletins are a special feature, maintained by few college newspapers. A Rotogravure section enhances the interest of the Sunday tabloid. College pictures and scenes afford an insight on campus life in other schools. Special columns are conducted from time to time by various members of the staff. Those ap- pearing most regularly at present include; Down The Groove, a column on swing lingo; The Rov- ing Reporter; With the Great Horned Spoon; and A Corner on Books. It must be said here that the former inadequacy of the Sour Owl forced the Kansan to institute, some three years ago, a dirt column. It was felt that students were demanding the real lowdown in at least a timely manner. Its present scoops on the major key- hole peeping are by courtesy of Virgil Mitchell. Peering behind the scenes we find that the Kansan ' s internal or- ganization is such that it is str ictly (Continued on page 80) BRAINS BACKBONE BOWELS 62 THE JAYHAWKER ONE early fall evening new students of the university were herded together for the fourteenth successive year by the blustering K-men, swinging threatening but somewhat ineffective paddles and shouting hoarsely. Most were at least curious, but others were in a less receptive, if not rebellious mood. This was, so far, just one more forced-attendance meeting, and there had already been so many . . . But the simple formality of the ceremony on old North Hill soon silenced most grumbling and awakened definite interest. Those who were close enough enjoyed both spiritually and physically the fourteenth relighting of the flame of knowledge in the old fire basket. The accompanying ceremony kindled considerable school spirit, so that everyone was in the right mood by the time the march started. Finally torchlighc ' 7 7 1 First, moonlight; then firelight Down the steep hill the long column tramped, K-men still bellowing and gesturing, spectators watching from the sidewalks. The new students slip- ped and stumbled on the bricks of the street, crunched over the cinder track, and seated themselves. The second ceremony was more formal, more impressive By BILL JOHNSON than the first. Chancellor Lindley opened the exercises with an address, which was followed by scripture reading, poetry, and the interpretation of the Seal of the University. During all the ceremony, students had been watch- ing the flicker of fire, far back on the hill in back of the Administration Building, anticipating the climax. Its irregular winking indicated some people moving about it, but as yet nothing had happened. Now, with a fanfare of trumpets a small spark took life from the larger speck in the distant darkness and began bobbing swiftly down the hill. Rapidly the torchlight took form, and, a few moments later, the runner himself became visible. After the lighting of the fire of the class of ' 41, a representative freshman was crowned with a cap by Chancellor Lindley. After the Alma Mater and a booming Rock Chalk, the newly initiated streamed out of the stadium with less order than at their entrance, but with a better understanding of the traditions of K.U. and their significance, and with a certain comforting feeling of being a part of it all. OCTOBER 1937 Although quite a fisherman in his spare time. Dean Ivan C. Crawford never had to fish for a career. His father a contractor and the background that of bustling Leadville Colorado, naturally engineering was simply so interesting Becoming a Bachelor of Science at Colorado University, he taught there from 1912 till 1923, with a significant inter- ruption. A major of engineers was wanted on the Moselle River in the last year of the War wanted afterward in Germany and in Belgium. As dean of the engineering school at Idaho U wanted as state engineer for Idaho ' s PWA wanted as a director of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Often relaxes, however, with one of the latest bio- graphical works he ' s especially interested in Generals Washington and Lee. Calls for more and more responsible men to keep on building an engineering-built world. Teachers may have a pretty hard time of it, but at least they can sleep nights. That ' s one of the reasons Prof. E. A. Stephenson finally accepted a professorship at the Rolla ( Mo. ) School of Mines. As consulting engineer, he got too many calls at 1 a.m. to see if he could come and from Pittsburg to California is no taxi-ride. Traveled 50,000 miles per year and wanted a change if not a rest. Now he heads the new department of petroleum engineering at K.U. and likes it. He used to business-mana ge his Adrian ( Mich. ) College annual and baseball team. Decided when he was 30 to be an engineer and extracted a doctor ' s degree from Chicago University. Still does some consulting on the side and is a member of all sorts of important societies. Has two sons who cater to the skiing fans in New England. Believes in oil unless something better is invented. This New Jersey man knows a lot about Europe, first-hand. Clifford Osborne saw France with the A.E.F. in 1918-19 from the St. Mihiel sector the last four months. Saw Roumania in 1920 and Germany in 1923, when the inflation problem was at its worst. Saw France in less warlike mood in the sum- mer of 1924 intended the University of Paris and later the college at Grenoble. Comes to the K.U. philosophy department fortified with theology degrees from Princeton and a Ph.D. from Chicago U, where he taught for five years. Mr. Osborne makes a point today of keeping up on world affairs and politics. Feels sure that man is capable of conquering his war mania. While Kansas drought victims flock to Cali- fornia, Raymond Lawrence arrives from Berkeley and is impressed by the humidity. Comes fresh from a Ph.D. to teach Reporting I and Feature Writing. Has been news editor of the Oakland Tribune, besides holding po- sitions in New York and elsewhere. His real field is political science enjoys theoretical observations therein and makes a study of authoritarianism. Hopes for a more scientific attitude toward government. Personally, prefers tennis and riding to swimming in an ice-cold Pacific. Says to visit New York but by all means live guess where in California. Wonders when Kansas ' reported tornado season begins. George J. Metcalf was chiefly exposed to Latin in high school and majored in Latin at Wabash College in Indiana. So upon gradu- ation, he taught German. Found it interesting, though, and soon discovered himself in Germ- any as an exchange student. More work and teaching at Harvard and then Alabama Uni- versity claimed the new Doctor. Says the deep South seems more of a foreign country to a midwestcrner than does Germany. Maintains an interest in journalism, dating from his editorship of the college semi-weekly re- members having to stifle his dislike of stretch- ing news to fill columns. Is glad K.U. provides so many musical programs he ' s an appreci- ative listener. 64 THE JAYHAWKER ie Jfode When you look back now it ' s all very amusing, but at the time some of those fights were desperate and cataclysmic. One of the early Daily Kansans said it was the quietest men ' s rush week in years. But, just for example, the Phi Gams and Sigma Chi ' s didn ' t find it so. Those two rushed against each other like mad. We are personally of the opinion that some Betas probably slipped them the same lists out of Wichita, Topeka, and Kansas City, for the harried rushees from those towns just shuttled back and forth between the two houses. The rushers on both sides were the best of friends the first afternoon. Then the first encounter took place, concerning two Wichita boys. The Phi Gams thought they had them practically spiked since the middle of the summer. They rushed them hard, but not hard enough, for on one of their visits to the Sigma Chi house, one of them took a pin and the other promised. When the Wichita Phi Gams heard this, they nearly went crazy. But the two rushees had still another date at their house, and they went to work. So the two rushees finally told the Sigma Chi ' s it was no go and went Phi Gam. Then the boys from down the hill were out for blood. The object of their efforts was a Topeka boy whom they had rushed hard before he took a Phi Gam pin the night before. The rushee had actually been helping the Fijis rush other boys before one last Saturday afternoon date with the Sigma Chi ' s. Knowing the uncongenial intentions of the latter lodge, the Fijis tried to keep the boy under cover. But just about the time one of their repre- sentatives was telling a squad of steadfast Sigma Chi ' s that they didn ' t have the faintest notion where the fellow was, the fellow himself happened to walk by the front door. The Sigma Chi ' s reached out their arms and that was the end of it. The rushee never saw the Phi Gam house again. This, I say, is only an example. For most it was hardly a quiet rush week. The preceeding incident brings to mind another concerning the girls. It seems that for the most part the crop that came up this year were little ladies. Corbin Hall, which takes the drubbing of for what is to many their first freedom from authority, was de- lighted to discover that very little damage was wrought by the incoming females for the first couple of days. Their mistake was in mentioning the fact out loud. When the girls heard the disgraceful news they held an immediate meeting to remedy the mat- ter. Stopping at no small pranks, they unwound the fire hose in one of the upstairs halls and let her fly, full pressure, in the best slapstick manner Their reward was a violent calling to the carpet and emphatic threats to make them pay for the damage. The final consequences we do not know, but at least the girls had their fun and the Corbin Hall authori- ties felt more natural. We really wonder sometimes what there is about rush week that makes all tales magnify infinitely within an hour ' s time. One fraternity happens to mention in a spirit of very friendly rivalry that the Phi Delts eat in shifts, a very obvious and not un- complimentary remark. And by the next date the rushee, wide-eyed, will have told the Phi Delts that such-and-such told him that the Phi Delts fought one another at the dinner table so that the weaker ones never got any food. Probably that ' s the facts behind the case of Blank fraternity hearing from a rushee that the Sig Alphs had told him that Blank only had eighteen men back and had a sixty-dollar house bill, when Blank really had thirty-five men back and a forty-five dollar house bill. So, knowing that the rushee was going back to the Sig Alph house, they decided to give the boys an object lesson. They told the victim that the Sig Alphs were only trying to OCTOBER 1937 65 cover up their own facts, which were even worse. Later in the afternoon the Sig Alphs were horrified to hear that it was being spread around that they had only twelve men back and had a seventy dollar house bill. By the same system we learned at various times during rush week to our astonishment that, (1) the Chi O ' s got Helen Johnson, Doric ' s little sister, (2) the Betas pledged only seven, of which four were brothers of Betas, (3) the Thetas re- quired each new pledge to sign a $200.00 I.O.U. on the new house, (4) the Sig Ep house is sliding down the hill and will be condemned in six months. As you know, the girl rushees must visit every house on that hectic first day. Of course nine times out of ten the girls don ' t know the location of more than half the houses, so taxis are the most convenient method of finding one ' s way. Sometimes the sorority finds out what house is next on her list and orders her a cab; the rest of the time she orders one herself. This year one of the rushees took a cab from the A.D.Pi house to the A.O.Pi house. Jane Flood, Theta, remained a cynic throughout rush week, for after it was all over, her poetic genius gushed forth with: Heckle, heckle, little rushee, How I wonder what you ' ll be. Up above my reach so far, Gee, I hope you ' ve got a car. This year one Elizabeth Demming was being rushed strong Alpha Chi. The meeting had urged ' 1 that all those that rushed her make special efforts to make as big an impresison as possible. The Golden Opportunity came when Elizabeth mentioned that the former editor of the Saturday Evening Post was a close relative. Editor of the Saturday Evening Post! fluttered one of her earnest rushers. Let me go get Grace Valentine. Turning, she added to Eliza- beth, Her father ' s editor of the Clay Center Times! Out Rush week was almost over when this happened. The pledge class of the house in question was almost full, and in one of those short meetings upstairs it was discovered that one of the practically-spiked boys still had to have the button put on him formally. Charlie, you do it, said the Rush Captain. You ' ll find him in the recreation room. I think he ' s alone. So Charlie put the button in his pocket and started downstairs, never knowing that said boy had already been taken care of, and that now in the recreation room was a lad that the chapter was quite out on. Charlie went into the fray with his best smile and his fastest talk, though a little surprised at the looks of the almost-spiked boy. The rushee himself made things difficult. Not only did Charlie have to explain the chapter, its history, and its financial structure, but he had to humor the rushee and his tastes. The two talked of the Arts till Charlie almost went mad. The boy told him all about the plight of the Russian peasants after the revolution as narrated in a new but obscure book. Finaly Charlie poured on the pres- sure, reached dramatic heights, and reached in his pocket for the button. Just at that moment the rush captain appeared in the door behind the rushee, wav- ing his arms frantically. Charlie looked up, puzzled. The rush captain in desperation pointed to the literary conversationalist and said one word, Out. Charlie gulped, said, O.K., Joe, I ' ll be right out, and ex- cused himself. Ten minutes later the date was over. THE JAYHAWKER I HERRING sections neither make nor break a foot- U ball team. Modern college football is conducted on a too business-like basis for that to happen. Yet an efficient group of cheerers can add greatly to an already colorful spectacle. Quality and quantity of yelling is largely dependent upon the ability of the cheerleaders. Hence, each fall great pains are taken and no effort spared to see that able noise makers are found. In an attempt to find a capable set of rah rah boys, one early fall Thursday afternoon a committee By TOM YOE gathered in the East Stadium. Chairmaned by Men ' s Student Council ' s Newt Hoverstock, a group of campus luminaries Harry Wiles, K. Club; Roberta Cook, Jay Janes; Bill Bailey, Ku Ku ' s; Dorothy Cald- well, Mortar Board; Don Voorhees, Sachem; and Dorothy Trekell, Women ' s Self Government As- sociation made up the committee. Hoping to make a big splash, activity chairmen of each fraternity herded embryo pepsters out to make their bid for fame and an official sweater. Three seniors, six juniors, twelve sophomores, and sixteen yearlings, or a total of thirty-seven leather- lunged aspirants turned out ready to yell. No candidate escaped leading in two yells of his own choice, the other aspirants, and a few curious spectators who were present. Best noise makers ' records then underwent the red pencil ordeal at the hands of hard-hearted commirteemen. Having once passed requirements for bringing forth noise, exhibiting poise and form, the successful candidate then had to meet the acid test of proper fraternity and political affiliations. Warranted by the Hill big-wigs to have filled all above stated qualifications, one senior, two juniors, three sophomores, and four freshmen were issued outfits in time to demonstrate their big stuff at the Varsity-Freshman game. Those on whose shoulders now rest the respon- sibility for pulling yells from lethargic eds and coeds are: seniors, Frank Warren, c ' 38; and Hazlett Steiger, b ' 38, alternate; juniors, Jack Nessly, c ' 39; Charles Fore; sophomores, Joe Parker, e ' 40; John J. Green, c ' 40; and Earle Radford; freshmen, Russ Townsley, C. J. Brown, Ralph Wire, and Jack Minor. To these fall the job of instilling in a college group, whose dominant characteristics at football games is quiet ennui, some of the pep and enthusiasm displayed at high school and junior college contests the country over. With fair prospects for a rejuvenated football squad, prospects seem equally bright for the cheer- leaders in their task of school spirit rejuvenation. OCTOBER I ,9 3 7 67 KELL KILEY, LAST SPRING ' S VICTORIOUS DOUBLES TEAM JO Kansas, William Kiley and James Kell brought the Big Six doubles championship last spring. On May 21 and 22, at Lincoln, Nebraska, the tennis championships were battled out. There the brilliant playing ability which the K.U. team had displayed in all the earlier matches stood the test of powerful competition. Remaining pair of the championship team of four were LeRoy Butler and Newton Hover- stock. Each received a K as reward for hard work, consistent success, and splendid spirit. The schedule for the entire season was hard, with Oklahoma and Nebraska the most-feared rivals. Perhaps most out- standing in the 1937 quartet was Bill Kiley, who carried home the Big Six Singles Championship from Lincoln. He played a fast and sure kind of tennis that will be missed when the call to the courts is issued next spring. Both Kiley and Kell played tennis exhibitions throughout the middle-west last spring and summer. In these, they met several of the top notch players of the United States, were sometimes successful, made always an enviable showing. 68 THE JAYHAWKKR We happened to get in on a first-class bull- sesison of lusty males the other day and learned that there is a fraternity house on the Hill in which it is the practice for several of the brothers to gather in a certain room at exactly one o ' clock every morning and talk about Dorothy Jones for a half hour before they go to bed. They don ' t exactly worship her; they just sit and sigh over that technique of hers. The fellows I overheard were of the unanimous opinion that her way of looking at the poor sucker is tops that sensitive, appealing, openly alluring gaze, as if it were all she could do to hold herself back. The main feature of the look, at its best, is a rapid, demure shifting from eyes to lips and back to eyes. That does things to a boy, they tell me. She is also a master of that almost imperceptible, supple writhe, when sitting next to a fellow in a booth, that is extremely effective. We personally have seen her letting Bill O ' Shea, and, a few minutes later, Bill Hogben, have both barrels. We ' re only human, say the suckers. We love it. The Hill swung out en masse to Benny Goodman at the Jubilesta. Scene of rare incidents that it was, the choicest and most famous remains the crash involving representatives of two of the larger houses. It seems that with the arrival of the bulls on the scene, the fast-thinking kiddies realized they still had in their possession several more or less convincing bits of evidence of their all-too-well- lubricated state. Whereupon, the heroine of our little piece rose to the occasion in her usual acute manner, grabbed the liquor from the car, and thrust it out the window depositing it neatly into the hands of a cop. With the rushing to the hospital of one of the other girls, and the scattering ( to more lucrative parts of the city) of the rest of her cohorts, our little Nell was left alone to make a quick trip to the jug in the Black Maria. After some little difficulty in finding her shoes, she ascended (with what dignity we can imagine) to the back of the police car. After amus- ing herself for a time by hanging onto the end and making a noise like a siren, our heroine got irked at being left to herself. If somebody doesn ' t come back here and sit with me, she shrieked, I ' ll come up there and sit with you! The cops remained im- pervious to both her charms and threats. But they knew not of what stuff the modern co-ed is made. Irritated, no doubt, by the lack of attention paid her, she made good on her promise and by gad! did come through. And leaving our adventurer sitting on the court reporter ' s lap trying to persuade him to keep their names out of the paper, we end our tale of how to have fun in the city. The annual Phi Delt crack comes forth this year in the shape of one Big Bill Thopmson ' s un- conscious utterance ' s. When Beulah Grunwald, Sigma Kappa pledge prexy started the year off right by settling down to Phi Delt Don Mayfield, Thomp- son drawled to la belle Arleen Irvine, Say I hear one of our boys is goin ' steady with one of your girls. That ' s right, says Irvine. Well, quoth Bill, I must meet him some day. Not to be outdone by a mere varsity, the OCTOBER 1937 69 Sigma Nu boys held a Big Apple out at the house the other night. After a date dinner, about six couples congregated in the den, and with Betty Gene Sayles calling the numbers, this year ' s variety of the light fantastic was really taken to town. Johnnie Butter- worth, Bobbie Packard, Ashley and Sayles, Squeak Speakman, Bert Mitchell, Meyn, etc., were a few of the star shiners . We non-truckers are certainly having to take a back-seat these days . . . wonder how long this thing will go on. Side-line on the Big Apple varsity: Alice Marie Meyn in the women ' s lounge after winning the trucking contest moaning about how ashamed she was. It was so vulgar ... in front of all those people! Shortly before the contest, one of the boys dancing wtih her asked her if she was going to enter the contest. Oh I couldn ' t, sighed Miss Meyn; I do wish the better girls could do that sort of thing! I ' ll see you at Grade ' s , was the watch- word. And that ' s not all. There everyone was after the K.U.-Washburn VICTORY. Yes, it was a victory, and called for celebrating. There were the boys Stevie Houston, for example, without the seltzer bottle (but don ' t think he didn ' t try to get one.) And there was Haze Steiger and party, and big brother Walt, ex-law from here, now asking age, physical handicaps, previous wrecks, as a Kansas driver ' s license examiner. But Walt wasn ' t with Haze; he was with our sunflower Peggy Landon that ' s keping it in the family anyway. Beautiful Betty Lou of the Pi Phi house was doing a good job of dancing on the crowded floor. Didn ' t see her date for the dazzle. And perpetual-grin Betty Eidson doing her giggling duty. Kappa Jean Bailey and girl friend were both at the game and later at Gracie ' s with a couple of males. I don ' t know who they were or where they came from. Lots of other big lights were there, but the daze was too great. Anyway it was a victory. Without turning this into a sports column, there were also K.U. -Wichita activities to be men- tioned. Everyone was there, too. The kind of fun that Wichita has a name for, but from the money lost, we ' re wondering what the students will do for fun for the rest of the month. Gene Lloyd came out ahead as usual. After the first touchdown, he took a five to one bet that K.U. would really rally. Was he fooled? Yes and no. Just before K.U. ' s big moment he yelled out to make it double or nothing, and they took him. But Lloyd is Lloyd. Most fun was after the game. And despite prohibition well, you know how .kids are. Bulletin: There is still an Exodus Club if you don ' t know what that is, ask a Chi O or a D.U. and it still meets. Quite a fry they had the other night at Brown ' s grove. Note on starting the year off right: At that first Beta party, it is rumored that there was a flock of betting on who could kiss whose date. Girls ' names were listed and posted on a door with a summary of the results. For further information or denial, ask any of the Betas. A significant viewpoint on swing music comes from the ready lips of John Ise. He says, The only reason the boys can stand most of this modern music for dancing is that their arms are full of date. Stagging Steiger ran into unexpected trouble the other night while peeking at parked wooers. He was so impressed by the show Downey and Spearing were putting on that he obnoxiously tried to cut in. They say that Allen lost his self- composure and threatened to commit mayhem and murder on the spot and he ' s still mad. Eleanore Shockley has one of her pledge sisters to thank for the loss of Bill Udell ' s ring. Bonehead is really smitten on Cavert and wants the whole Pi Phi chapter to know it. The whole mess is funniest when Shockley has to call her for him. Peggy Ghormley is all ready worried about what she ' ll do for dates next year. She has compiled a prospect list and is approaching innocent sophomore males on the subject. How about that Fisher? All hope is not gone, boys, if you have what (Continued on page 74) THE JAYHAWKER Q Qi u, ame and a ame, i V INCH 1923 when the first intra- (J mural games were held, Uni- versity girls have had the oppor- tunity to participate in various sports. At that time only basket- ball and baseball were included; but by 1925 other major sports had been added, and the big all- year championship cup was awarded for the first time. Gradu- ally many minor activities have been added, so that today the Women ' s Athletic Association be- lieves, or hopes, if offers a game for every girl. Intramural sports are managed by the W. A. A. with the help of Miss Ruth Hoover, director of the By MARGARET BABCOCK women ' s athletic department. The president of W. A. A., Ruth Baker, and the various sports managers cooperate with the intramural managers from the groups in plan- ning the activities for the year. In addition to the organized house groups there are independent groups, so that any girl of the Uni- versity may engage in athletic activities if she is interested. Too there are class groups, made up of the best members of the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes, that compete. There are three sports seasons, each with its own particular games. In the fall season volley ball, tennis singles, horseshoes, golf, and handball are offered. In the winter there are basketball, basketball free throw, ping pong, darts, and swimming. And during the spring season baseball, horse- shoes, deck tennis, tennis singles and doubles, and golf are played. In addition to these are dancing, fencing, and rifle practice, which are offered throughout the year. The various groups and individuals compete in these sports, receiving a certain number of points if they win. Each year the big championship cup is awarded to the group which has earned the largest number of points. If an independent group wins; individual medals are pre- sented instead of the cup. In the event that the cup is won three consecutive years by the same group, that group then is entitled to keep it. This year a new trophy was awarded as Kappa Kappa Gamma in 1935-36 won the previous cup to keep. The group winners of the individual sports also are given recognition. Besides the group awards, there is one for the girl in the independent groups who makes the highest number of in- dividual points. The annual fall meeting of the W. A. A.

The game was thrilling, but the game itself was almost the least important feature of that day. Something happened to the entire student body that reached down far deeper. To the football fans of the United States in general it was simply a victory; perhaps it was a surprising one, but nothing more. To the Hill and everyone on it, it was an event. The evidences of this were to be seen on every side. But first, what of the game itself? On the student side of the stadium there was a pretty fair crowd, but nothing to be really excited about. At our house, a couple of the boys stayed home to clean the carbon out of their car, because it was more interesting to them at the moment. Another went up to Topeka to take his laundry home and to enjoy the ride. In short, it was a typical football day at Kansas, with most of us going down to the stadium because our friends would probably be there. Perhaps there was a little more enthusiasm than usual because of the night-shirt parade, but on the whoel it was just an- other of those games at K.U. Nevertheless, from the opening kick-off the game looked good. The only trouble was that the game had looked good at Wichita just the week before, so no one volunteered any wild predictions. Then, only a few minutes in the first half, some scarlet-jerseyed player later proving to be Sullivant snatched an Iowa State pass from mid-air and began galloping down the field, pursued by a half-dozen surprised black jerseys. It was like something out of the movies. And the K. U. students rose as one man to screaming excitement. Sullivant was downed on the sixteen- yard line, and some in the stands offered a half- dollar at even money that Kansas would never come through in the final pinch. They were taken. A few plays and a penalty on Iowa State and the ball was on the five-yard line, first down. Twice we tried and tired hard, but the ball was still a yard and a half from the counting stripe. A third time we tried, and it looked over. The stands began hysterical cheering. But when the players cleared away, there were six inches to go. And one down to try for that little space. The play was called, the men piled up, and there was no doubt this time. The stands went wild. The kick for extra point was beautiful. The score was Kansas 7, Iowa 0. Then Kansas gave a Rock-Chalk. When your writer was still in grade school, he used to come to Lawrence for an occasional game. Moreover, in those days he heard Rock-Chalks that rocked the stadium, that made spectators ' mouths drop open, that chilled the hearts of our opponents. But the last few years the Rock-Chalks have been pitiful affairs. Why not? Our team was in the cellar, being trounced unmerci- fully in every game, with no hope for the future. We gave our yell simply as a courtesy to those who came, as the signboard advertised, to hear the world ' s most famous college yell. But the Rock-Chalk that thundered out over the valley at twenty minutes past (Continued on page 74) OCTOBER 1937 73 NOW YOU HAVE SEEN IT and If you liked the first issue, the rest can still be yours at a saving.

And wits shouted, K.U., the Big Six Champions! or K.U. to the Rose Bowl! To which others, still not for- getting that week before, replied, Wichita to the Rose Bowl! And still others, No school Monday! At those touchdowns the uniformed guardsman over by the Scoreboard, so long idle, touched off the gun, grin- ning self-consciously. Of course Iowa State rallied in the second half to score once, but the touchdown play was such a beauty so flawlessly executed, that no one be- grudged it. And Kansas effectually blocked their attempt for an extra point. It only made the game even more thrilling. Yes, last year it might have been more interesting to clean carbon or deliver laundry than sit through those slow, painful scrim- mages that dragged through the after- noon. That was last year, I say. This year the game was exciting. To an outsider, it might not have been; but K.U. students saw new and thrilling sights. They saw Kansas throw passes and complete them. They saw Kansas block. They saw Kansas pile first downs on first downs, and plough across goal lines, and smear ball-carriers. The students were excited during the game; and, what is more important, they sustained that excitement after the game, for the rest of the day, and long afterward. It is that kind of excitement that eventually comes to be called school spirit. Saturday was a banner night for the Hill hangouts. Lots of beer, as well as lots of cokes, was consumed by starry- eyed celebrators. The proprietors re- port that the water-glass-and-napkin artists were particularly inspired; and all their designs featured K or K. U. It was also a great day for the poor loyal fools that have ben betting on Kansas with dogged faith, win or lose, these past years. They cleaned up, and could have made fortunes if they had had more nerve. On the extreme, one unfortunate wailed, Never again will I bet on Kansas. I bet against them in the Washburn game; I bet with them in Wichita; and I bet against them to- day! Saturday night I was in a barber shop. Said the barber, agitatedly click- ing his shears, Do you know what a game like that means to me? Dollars and cents, that ' s what. Why a winning team here will mean two-hundred dol- lars a year just to this little shop. In fact, all the townspeople were nearly as excited about it all as the students. On my way back up the Hill on the bus, a boy, perhaps a sophomore, at the back of the bus was humming happily to himself, I ' m a jay-jay-jay-jay-jay- hawk ... That kind of thing hasn ' t happened for years. The next morning the Kansan ran a headline as glaring as if the United States had just declared war. They too knew that an event had taken place. This time they didn ' t write up the game from in the bath-tub at home. For at least a week, K.U. was tied for the championship of the Big Six. For that alone, the strange and wonder- ful occurrence on the afternoon of October 16 will be remembered for the rest of this year. (Continued from page 69) it takes.

MARTIN J. MALONEY (Continued from page 70) awards for last year were presented. Kappa Kappa Gamma won the cup for the fourth consecutive year. Pi Beta Phi was second, having only ten points less than the Kappas. Individual winners were Dorothy J. Willcurts, Corbin Hall, and Deneise Lemoine, Pi Phi, from the organized groups, and Dorothy Pulley from the independent groups. Closely connected with intramurals are Tau Sigma, the Quack Club, the Fencing Club, and the rifle team. While they are not associated with groups, they do encourage participation in athletics. Tau Sigma is the national honorary organization for dancing. It is under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Dunkel and Catherine Dunkel, this year ' s president. Every spring the members present a recital for the public. The Quack Club is an organi- zation of women swimmers. Member- ship in these groups is obtained only by passing the try-outs of each group, since there are definite standards which each girl must attain before she can be considered for membership. For Tau Sigma, the Quack Club, and the W. A. A. a grade average of C is also re- quired. However, for participation in intramurals the only prerequisite is that the girl ' s health permit her to engage in them. The aim of intramural sports is to offer an opportunity for every girl to take part in one or all of the activities in which she is interested. Girls are not only invited, but urged, to partici- pate in the activities, since the sole purpose is to offer a game for every girl and a girl for every game. QaU 9 6- (Continued from page Nebraska, who not only knows his football, but who can put his knowledge across to the players. Notice the improved blocking this year. Another welcome addition is Ralph Conger, Frosh coach. If Conger can keep his charges interested in school, specifically Kansas, in addition to teaching them something about the game, he will have accomplished wonders. Very little criticism has ever been directed at Mike Getto as line coach, and Bill Hargiss, B team coach, asistant varsity coach and chief scout, would be a valued member of any coaching staff. Both staff and team had its first real workout in the Washburn game. Be- fore 7,000 fans in Topeka, Kansas played sluggishly in the first half, but an injury to Dave Shirk and the in- spired play of Milton Sullivant pro- vided the spark for a Jayhawker win, 25 to 2. After Shirk was clipped by Brady, Negro flash, early in the third quarter, the Jayhawkers suddenly ral- OCTOBER 1937 77 lied and easily dominated the second half. The following day the Jayhawker B team surprised many followers by taking Bethany to camp, 14 to with Lauter scoring after eight minutes of play. Late in the fourth quarter, the passing combination of Rosacker to Meir set up a touchdown, with Meir taking it over. Lauter ' s two successful kicks after touchdowns gives Kanass her first reliable one point man since the days of Schmidt, who set an almost unbelievable record here many years ago. Jayhawker fans have expressed dis- satisfaction with the year ' s schedule, as only three games will be played in Lawrence. Gwinn Henry, hard work- ing athletic director, has promised that as soon as the Kansas teams start play- ing football that will bring crowds to Memorial Stadium the schedule will contain some real home games. The athletic department has admitted that this year ' s game in Wichita against the Wheatshockers was scheduled for monetary reasons alone. There is cer- tainly no great amount of prestige to be gained by a victory over Wichita and a lot to be lost by defeat. The next week-end finds Iowa State coming to Lawrence for a game in which local fans have hopes. Iowa State had trouble beating the Iowa State Teachers 14-12 and this should be the Jayhawker ' s year to start aveng- ing the 1935 and 1936 defeats. After Iowa State, the schedule takes on a different outlook. Oklahoma, Michigan State and Nebraska are met on suc- Men ' 4. cessive week-ends away from home, and if the boys come back alive they will have accomplished something. If they win one of the three, it will prob- ably be Oklahoma. November 13, the Kansas State Wildcats will come here for a game and as one who grimly watched last year ' s massacre seated between two K-State friends, I can only pray for the breaks and some way to stop Howard Cleveland in this one. The next week the team goes to Tuscon to try to prove that last year ' s scoreless tie with Arizona was no mistake; after which, on Thanksgiving Day, the season ' s finale comes when the Mis- souri Tigers, with their best team in years, invade Memorial Stadium. The Tigers under cocky, lantern-jawed Don Faurot added insult to injury after last year ' s game here. Kansas teams have had a habit of upsetting Missouri just when they appeared to be strongest and this bit of impudence on Mr. Faurot ' s part may give the Jayhawkers that spark they ' re going to need against the Tigers. Kansas is definitely on its way back. They may not get very far back this year and they may even stay in the Big Six cellar, but with the crop of fresh- men coming up and the new spirit in the Alumni Association and athletic department the Jayhawkers are bound to go places. The new Physical Edu- cation or Coaching school is attracting athletes and it looks as though happy days might be ahead in Memorial Stadium again. Maybe some day we ' ll even get that stadium paid for. Mkate Athletic (Continued from page 52) Betas had the greatest number reach the top, as did the Sig Eps in track and field competition. The forecast for 1937 intramural football is different. The non-fraternity men have been getting steadily stronger for years, and may come out near the top. Among the fraternities, games will be hardfought. Sigma Alpha Epsilon has lost few of its stars of last year, and have added some. The Phi Delts are almost always near the top, as are the Betas. The Sigma Chis are unpredictable, but promise to make it tough for the other boys this year. The Phi Gams, football champions of year before last, have a large pledge class from which to draw new material and have a top-notch team. The few games that have been played so far can not be depended upon as accurate indications. The Sig Alphs tied the less powerful Delta Taus in an uninspiring game, AUTO WRECKING AND JUNK CO.

The Phi Delts won their first game, with Phi Chi, by an accident, 2-0, and then were beaten by the Phi Gams the first game for them 13-6. The Sigma Chis were victorious over the Sigma Nus. Main fault of the intramurals is that many highly organized houses have one small group of good amateur athletes who represent the fraternity in all sports, wearing out the few individual men and defeating the purpose of the intramural program. Main criticism is that groups are able to win the trophy by amassing points through simply average success in a great number of single-man games. As the Jayhawker goes to press, there is possibility that a new plan will be submitted, restrict- ing inter-fraternity competition for the trophy to team play, leaving single- man games to the individuals who care for them spontaneously. Social Wheel (Continued from page 55) break the monotony of studying, etc. A notably absent characteristic of all former mid-weeks was the Kappa circle which seems to have lost its exclusive monopoly in the best interests of all concerned. Friday night, October 1, gave every- one an opportunity to see the football team swing into action for the first time against outside competition, and the results were highly gratifying as Kansas swept Washburn aside to the tune of 25 to 2. But Friday was also a night of sundry open houses as the sororities undertook the burden of helping the social season along. Alpha Chi Omega seized the Union ballroom in which to display its wares, while the A.O.Pi ' s, A.D.Pi ' s, and Sigma Kappa ' s swung open the doors of their re- spective houses for the inspection of the meandering males. Another mid-week Wednesday night sent a galaxy of freshmen into another tantrum for no good reason other than a chance to miss an hour ' s time in study hall. Merrel Day, Terry Lilly, and other swingster extremists were there, of course, but in the main the trucking was not dangerous to life and limb. Another swing classic attracted a crowd to the Union Building Saturday night with Red Blackburn and Louis Kuhn vicing for the musical honors for the evening. The dancers whirled from one side of the floor to the other as the bands blared forth at each other being as fickle as possible with its en- thusiasm. Finally reaching an arnica ' : le agreement by getting the two outfits together for a sustained jam session as the evening drew to a close. And that ' s the sum and substance of the social season to date.

It will not be until then that the full beauty and magnificence of the structure can be realized. And with the added space, accomodations for books will be more than doubled, and adequate space for graduate research and study will be provided. Crowded as it is already, the time is probably near when the wings will appear to hold the overflow, growing at the rate of 10,000 volumes a year. (Continued from Page 23) predecessor, Andy Kirk.

In short, K.U. now has the finest college bands in the Middle West, bands of truly professional caliber. It is safe to say that at present they are giving K.U. wider and better pub- licity than our school athletics. It is to our pride, though not to our advantage, that such a nationally known band as Pinky Tomlin ' s, has made a practice of recruiting its players from K.U. As ambassadors of the K.U. quality of swing and as moulders of the under- graduate taste in popular music, the two bands have not stopped yet. With better support by the students we will reach new heights, says Louie. Argues Red, Cooperation is all we need. (Continued from page 19) The Athletic Directors plans for varsity athletics are simple but give promise of success. Henry expects to build up year by year better teams with the material on hand and the new men who come here to school. A new enthusiasm on the part of the alumni gives hope; as alumni support is absolutely necessary to good varsity athletics. It is their responsibility to interest good athletes in attending Kansas University. Mr. Henry looks foreward to de- veloping a good football team and feels sure that our football teams will im- prove. The freshman squads are good barometers of future success, and the present one is composed of the very best players from every section of the state. This year ' s freshman squad is the first step toward the realization of the new director ' s plans. Mr. Henry anticipates increased support of athletics, especially football, by the students as the teams improve. Instead of going to Kansas City for the weekend they will stay at Law- rence and attend a hard-fought foot- ball game. Students , he says, will come through along with the team. A good schedule depends on having good football teams in Mr. Henry ' s opinion. As our teams improve our schedules will. Next year we will have three or four excellent home games, with both Nebraska and Oklahoma playing here. If the University believes in Gwinn Henry as Gwinn Henry believes in his own job, the future of K. U. athletics is sound. WORTHY OF YOUR FINEST CLOTHES PHONE 101 ADVANCE CLEANERS 1019 Mass.

He is more commonly known as the slave driver among aspiring young re- porters and editors. His chief assistants are Kenneth Morris and Joe Cochrane, campus editors. The rather wearisome and harrow- ing job of digging up features with which to inject levity into the news columns falls to Grace Valentine, feature editor. The financial independence of the Kansan may be attributed chiefly to the efforts of F. Quentin Brown, business manager. Aside from pound- ing the pavement in search of ad copy and more ad copy, Mr. Brown, usually about this time of year is tearing his hair, endeavoring to stifle expenses and rising costs. Other staff members are: news editor , Drew McLaughlin; society editor, June Ulm; sports editor, Wil- liam Fitzgerald; telegraph editor, Charles Alexander; make-up editors, Bobbie Caskey and Jane Flood; re- write editor, Marvin Goebel; Sunday editor, Alan Asher. Should any of the staff fail to do his or her specific job the Kansan fails to meet its deadline .

Standing apart from the actual writ- ing and management of the University Daily Kansan but responsible for the training and guidance of the student editors is the journalism faculty. Prof. L. N. Flint, chairman of the department, injects years of newspaper experience into his lectures. He takes a genuine interest in the problems of every student entering the profession of journalism. His whimsical wit, his sympathy and understanding are a source of inspiration to those who come in contact with him. His interest con- tinues even after a student leaves the University. His record for placing journalism graduates in the newspaper field is an enviable one. Prof. W. A. Dill, director of K.

PHARMACEUTICAL SOCIETY HFTER the manner of Esquire and other national periodicals, the Jayhawker is proud no end when it can announce a Big Name. Such to the K.U. campus is Martin Maloney, our dramatic critic, who did Beggar On Horseback , the best-written piece in this issue. He is the Hill ' s best for this work, hav- ing been outstanding in both dra- matics and English, and now be- ing an English Instructor and a radio dramatist over KFKU. Turn to page 104 and be entertained. Probably the best cartoons ever printed in the Jayhawker are Carol Johnson ' s two masterpieces, one on page 129 and the other, 144. We ' ve laughed ourselves sick over each and can ' t decide which is fun- niest. But the edge is probably with the one on the Nebraska celebration; Carol was there and the cartoon shows it. At last we have discovered someone who writes hilarious satirical verse. For proof, turn to page 101, where Ogden Nash is completely out-Nashed in Quiet Please! For the last twenty years the short paragraphs on the sorority pages have been just the same uniformly dull but this year is different. Now these paragraphs are clever and sparkling, thanks to the talents of Tom Yoe, one of the most able of the magazine ' s edi- torial assistants, who must, we think, have infinite patience. If you want a laugh, try Carpet- bagger Communism, a satire by Richard MacCann on page 145. It takes several cracks at a timely situation that needs to be cracked at. f m s 90 THE JAY HAWKER Your UNION BALLROOM The Ideal Place For That XMAS or SPRING PARTY Make Your Reservations Early Only A Few Available Dates Remain CALL KU 71 (Continued from page 88) Hollywood has its Brown Derby, but K.U. has its Coe ' s, lo- cated on 14th avenue, west. The resemblance, for those who wonder, is that both are ever- popular hang-outs, while others come and go. It, we think, more than any other place in town, positively reeks college atmos- phere, as you see it in the movies, making it a swell place to stop in with out-of-town friends. Of course almost its biggest business is at lunch time, for that ' s where a good percentage of that crowd goes that pours down the 14th street hill. The Granada Coffee Shop specializes in Sunday-night sup- pers, early or late. It is particu- larly handy to the theater, of course, and caters to Hill trade. The Union Fountain is a mad- house these afternoons, with every- one and his brother there. There are certain regulars, we have noticed, such as Bob Rohde, Jayne Coats, Weeks and Mackie, Floyd Kelly, and others, that you can al- ways find there. Part of the at- traction is the nickelodeon, which has the best records in town and is blaring constantly. If you ' ll coax, some of the assembled Pi Phis will give a trucking exhibition to boot. When you hear a waiter yell, Burn one, you know that some- one else has ordered one of those union heated sweet-rolls that are rapidly becoming famous. It used to be that everyone accused you of having breakfast a bit late if you ordered one, but now more and more are having them with cokes, or coffee, or milk-shakes.

Not only are the formals decorated with spangles and sequins, but the fabric too must be rich and dra- matic. The idea is to create the effect of elegance. The silhouette remains slim to accentuate the figure. Lines too are extreme, re- vealing bare shoulders. Colors likewise tend toward the dramatic with black and white leading. Any subtle color is good for evening such as: pearlgrey, petal pink, fuchsia, robin ' s egg blue and tur- quoise. Ornaments for the head have become important this year. Veils add a note of allure to any evening costume. These may come just to the tip of the nose, or to the elbow.

Emery Bird and Thayer ' s feature flat pill box hats with veils or feathers, to be worn with formal dress, others are solid sequins in daring combinations. Harzfeld ' s have an orchid for the hair made entirely of sequins in green, blue, gold and violet. Flowers of this type are worn on top of the head with or without a veil. Perfume is a necessary accessory to evening dress. This season there are several new odors to correspond with the moods and personality of the wearer. Country Club, is a sophistocated perfume excel- lent with chic tailored formals. Colony, by Jean Patou is exotic and reminiscent, appropriate for inti- mate gatherings and different people. R.S.V.P. Invitation to Romance by Hudnut, suggests the feminine type; it is good with marquisite, organza, tulle, and net. Impromptu , by Lucien Lelong, belongs with heavy brocaded satins; destined to make you stand out in a crowd. Vega , by Guerlain, is created for the dramatic type it should accompany black chiffon velvet, white satin and lame. Weaver ' s also show fitted evening bags made by Arden and Charles-of-the-Ritz. These are made of brocades in black, gold and silver and include all the essentials for keeping the lady glamorous for the evening. Formals of this season are formfittingjn every case. While many of the skirts are billowy, the Cameo top is the favorite of the designers. A great many black dresses appear this year, cut very straight with shirring through the hip and waist lines. Sequins are very popular both as trimmings and part of the design of the materials. Transparent fabrics are important for the holiday festivities. This year, they are used in combination with gold kid and rhinestones, made with large billowy skirts and low necklines. Taffeta, lace, jersey are also fabrics good this winter. All the designs tend toward the romantic type some even go so far as to have hoops around the bottom. Harz- felds show a formal of shocking pink moire. The dress features a flare at the knees and a long sleeved jacket of dubonnet velvet. The velvet is repeated in the neckline of the dress. Another is of white taffeta cut with a wide swing skirt and narrow shoulder straps edged in gold.

It takes a real Beau Brum- mel to look really natty in a sweat shirt and cotton slacks in summer, or even in a sleeveless sweater and open shirt in the fall; but in winter we all begin to concentrate. And just as earlier in the fall, the style leaders are striving for that care- fully acquired, studied careless- ness. For this touch, tweeds and rough fabrics lead in informal wear. Stewart Chambers achieves about the correct mixture of rah- rah-collegeian and man-about- town with his Donegal tweed, of this kind. For the somewhat more formal wear, the lounge suit in dark ma- terials, plain patterns, and smooth finish leads in favor. If you want to be a step ahead, it ' s a three- button sack suit, with the trousers a little higher at the waist and a little narrower at the bottom, with deep reverse pleats. In general, distinctiveness is swell this year, except in formal clothes. There everyone wants to be just like everyone else and to be just right. Briefly then, the very best for absolute perfection is a full cut to the coat, full pleats in the trousers, and either black or midnight blue for the color. Tuxedo coats may be either single or double breasted, with the single- breasted more popular than it has been for two or three years. Lapel facings are gros-grain rather than shiny satin, and the trend in collars is definitely toward high, wing col- lars instead of the turn-down, so popular last year. And it goes with- out saying that white-tie-and-tails is supreme for formal wear, and seen more every year. For Christmas gifts, either for yourself or for others, we looked through several stores.

To go in them, they also display a complete as- sortment of Kay wood ie pipes. Shirts this year will probably re- ceive more emphasis than ever as gifts, because they are receiving more emphasis than ever as the final touch to a well-dressed man. Ober ' s say that the demi-bosoms and pleated bosoms are tops in style, and are going like wild-fire. The better shirts this year come with two detachable collars, one white and one to match. The new developments in coats this year are startling. Some of the boys from Kansas City are sport- ing those new finger-tip-length camel ' s hair campus coats, which are said to be necessities at the Eastern schols. And the smarter undergraduates are being seen in that increasingly popular, bright red blanket coat with hood at- tached, as first introduced here by Bill McKinley and Ray Mosely. Palace seconds this trend with a swell assortment of these loud- colored mackinaws. For study and bull-sessions, the newest is cocktail coats, also featured by Palace. Our representatives in the music world, Louie Kuhn and his boys, also do the school proud with their taste in the costume which they have chosen for their informal en- gagements. The dark gray flannel with a white chalk stripe gives a uniform effect that is a knockout. The red-feather boutonniere re- lieves the somberness with just the right added dash.

Mainly, it is this stuff about Wild Modern Youth. I ' d like particularly to fight with Liberty magazine over that article Passion Before Marriage, I think it was called which proved by means of a series of so-called case histories, written up in highly enter- taining short-story style, that the Younger Generation has gone dis- mally and irretrievably to the dogs. Liberty really wants to believe that Modern Youth is fine and upright, it says, but, it says, the cold and bitter facts must be faced. With this pious introduction it plunges directly into the swell sexy anecdotes, anything but cold and bitter, which don ' t prove points very well, but certainly bring forth gasps. Perhaps the entire article should be dismissed as simply a circu- lation booster, but it ' s really more harmful than that, because parents are so liable to take such tripe seriously. And then on top of that, some high school principal out in Osborne County, Kansas, sent back a letter to the Chancellor, saying that the first issue of the Jayhawker was not morally suitable for the high school library. He had painstakingly cut out every picture in the magazine that had any- thing to do with tobacco, including the tiniest cigarettes which, incidentally, got nearly every page and sent a long lecture on tobacco back with the clip- pings. And then on top of that, we recently heard some parents tsk-tsking over the rumor that some K.U. students had some whiskey sours in the City over Thanksgiving. Whiskey sours! ex- claimed the ladies, and at their age too! Now, twenty years ago ... Although it ' s utterly futile to raise a protesting voice against these dog- matic condemnations, since we are part of the Younger Generation and there- fore biased, we would nevertheless like to state simply that our attackers fail to take the broad historical viewpoint. The Civil War Generation was positive that our parent generation was hope- lessly decadent; the elders of Shakes- peare ' s London shook their heads sadly over the drunkenness and bawdiness of the young blades; Socrates was con- demmed to death because all Athens was convinced he was responsible for its youth ' s going to the dogs. If each generation since the Paleolithic age has been getting steadily worse than the preceding one as the preceding one always declares then its small wonder we ' re so bad that Liberty features us. However, we want to protest here t hat it ' s still a lie, just as it was in Athens. Modern Youth is, we are sure, as this magazine shows it, and not as Liberty represents it to be. If even the truth is too, too shocking to the Os- borne County Archon or to the tsking parents and we ' re waiting to see what both these say about our Nebraska cartoon then let them take the his- torical viewpoint again. Let them realize that American civilization and customs are still strongly refined and corseted by the Puritan ideals that the Mayflower brought over. Let them look back before that, to Elizabethan times, or later Rome, or Restoration England for really rough pkying. In those days immorality wasn ' t even known as im- morality, it was so general. At our level-headed worst, we 1938 college students are a bunch of damned sissies when matched against any pre-Puritan age. And civilization is still plugging along. Even supposing the isolated and sensationally-written case histories of Passion Before Marriage were true, proving that at its worst the younger generation is somewhat more immoral than its parents, it is still undeniable that it could never be relatively worse than the parents as compared with their parents. We learn, says psychology, only from the world around us, from the examples of others. So the Older Generation had better relax before all their condemnations boomerang. Even if we assume hypo- thetically that our Modern Youth is as bad as every one wishes us to believe, it ' s only fair to ask the cause of the sad condition. Sociologically speaking, it is pretty sure that it is a reaction to the social chaos of the Great War. And what generation, may we ask, started the War? Yes, we think the Older Generation, including Liberty, the dry ladies, and the pillar of Osborne County, had better relax. THE JAYHAWKER 1 J D ! - DECEMBER 937 99 Starting with the first touchdown against Iowa State, school spirit came to life again at K.U. It reached its climax in the frenzy at Nebraska, shown here in the rally at the left, which stopped busi- ness in Lincoln for an hour, and in the touchdown faces shown above and below. But all season here at home we screamed wildly at radio reports, snake-danced till we were exhausted, stopped traffic on Mas- sachusetts, rallied in the halls, in front of the gym, and at every other opportunity. This year ' s freshmen loved it; last year ' s freshmen couldn ' t believe this was the same school; and the seniors said they had never seen the like. It is yet to be deter- mined whether it was a seasonal hysteria or a more underlying change. YELLED our fool heads off at every game, and every rally, whenever a cheerleader, professional or ama- teur, raised a hand. MARCHED through the streets of Nebraska and Lawrence, making the mouths of the local citizenry drop open in astonishment at so much noise, so much energy. GOT UP AT SIX A. M. to rally. If there was ever any test of true school spirit, this was it. But hundreds strong, we were there the morning after the Okla- homa game to welcome the heroes. REVIVED PADDLING, flying squadrons, and all the other college customs of five years ago all of which had died as the victories of the team grew fewer and fewer. RALLIED, RALLIED, RALLIED, in front of the gym, in the halls of Ad, down town, at the free shows, at the station, and in our houses. One shout was enough to set us all off for five minutes ' bedlam. - ' IN SHORT, school spirit was reborn at K.U. this fall. I ' hoim by Neal Mannon. Marjorie Trembly, and Duke D ' Ambra D by ALOYSIUS FAIRWEATHER MCGONIGLE, (The sweet singer of the Wakarusa) We hear that in the city of New York, The city fathers are sponsoring an anti-noise campaign, suppressing submachine guns, elevated trains, radio announcers, John L Lewis and maybe even the stork. Because he (the stork, we mean) has been squawking like nobody ' s business about too long hours, thus making a sound calculated to give jitters even to the most hardy, a Nd we think that perhaps the city fathers will also suppress Mayor La Guardia. Of course, in the city of Lawrence, The city fathers, feeling no doubt that we haven ' t such cataracts and torrence And rivers and oceans and even rivulets of noise, as they do, say, in Kansas City, Refuse to suppress what noise we have; which is a pity. For instance, jam sessions Are not among my major pessions; And when the trumpet player goes Root-a-toot-toot , I should very much like to have something (such as the trumpet player) to shoot. Likewise someone should organize a society of K. U. Vigilantes To go out and kick the pantes Off people who gasp into a one-lunged microphone the so-called lyrics to I Love You Truly , Very, very bluely. But above all the nerve-cracking institutions in this sanctum of the higher culture that should be destroyed, disintegrated and suppressed, Is (yes, little Alice, you guessed It) the pep rally. And why Hallie Harris uses everything but a Boeing Bomber to eradicate pigeons who do nothing ( well, almost nothing) but coo, And still refuse to take even as much as a shotgun to people who start pep rallies which are rapidly driving me and you (Well, me, anyway) into a mental state which would make Professor Raymond H. Wheeler of the Psychology Department fairly scream with glee Is something more than I can see. And if I were even as much an official as the fourth assistant janitor in the Union Building, I would go to the Board of Regents And say, Now listen to me, gents; I have a plan for producing at K. U. the one thing which it needs, which is quiet, Thereby making it possible to study once in a blue moon, and they would say, Well, go ahead and try it. And then I would take my little five pounder and go forth and write my initials on everyone who gives Rock Chalk Yells, And then everyone who honks horns and rings cow-bells While I ' m sleeping in class, and then on everyone who goes to rallies to drink, And everyone who doesn ' t drink but ends up by tucking away everything but the two bottles of hair-oil that poor old Uncle Joe died before he had a chance to use, which were hidden under the kitchen sink. And after that I would shoot the other three students in the University, just in case. And that, ladies and gentlemen, would make the University of Kansas a place In which I could sleep in some comfort. And the gurgle of water going down the sink Would sound like the thunder of the Atlantic surf; and maybe, after I got used to the quiet, I might even be able to hear myself think. Photo by Art Wolf. Write-up by Richard MacCann EVEN Hitler would have to admit that this fellow is a pure-blooded Kansan. For the last two gener- ations his family on both sides have been resi- dents of the mighty town of Emporia. And Frank himself says, even after extensive trips to California and New York and similar places, that Kansas especially Emporia is still his choice. Of course, Colorado is nice, too in August, say. Is personally acquainted with his eminent compatriot Mr. White and very definitely approves of him as a jolly good thinker. Recommends his last book, a collection of editorials. Also likes hunting and fishing. As a freshman he had law training in mind and chose a sociology major; now plans on graduate work in business. Yes, I ' ll probably come back and settle down in business in Emporia this implying some kind of slavery to tradition. But the ordinary man who settles down in business hasn ' t usually been a veteran cheerleader. Or, for that matter, a Phi Delt Pan-Hellenic representative, a student council member, or an Owl Society man. And we ' re willing to predict that Frank Warren, when he gets out into the crazy world, will appreciate his Ku-Ku training. DECEMBER 1937 103 IN keeping with tradition of 35 | years ' standing, Jayhawker year- lings again repeated the annual custom of flaunting gaudy noc- turnal nightgarb in the faces of fellow students and Lawrence resi- dents, as is customary on the eve of the first home gridiron conquest. This year, the ceremony occurred just before Kansas swept the Iowa State Cyclones into a gentle zephyr, on October 16th. Hairy limbs were the vogue as freshman males took their places in line before the Memorial Union Building, and the sky was hardly the limit, at least in dress. Striped and checkered bathrobes, there were aplenty! Silks and satins, and other fancy pajamas were brought from hiding, from bot- toms of bureau drawers; several old-fashioned flannel pink-and- white striped nightshirts draped manly forms, and a few summer sleeping shorts were in evidence, too. The parade is an outgrowth of town and gown night, which was an annual event in the early days of the University. On town and gown night, open season was declared upon the village toughs by the college men. Chancellor Frank Strong was the first to suggest that instead of celebrating the first football game by beating up (?) the town toughs, why not create a holiday spirit with an all-University parade. Resultantly, the Chancel- lor found his door besieged, late one night, by hundreds of eager students wanting a parade to in- still the spirit of victory into the team for the morrow ' s grid contest. The willing Strong waited not to don his clothes, but put on his slippers and led the merry throng through the streets of Lawrence in his nightshirt. Ending the parade in the park, a huge bon- fire was built, the climax to the first annual nightshirt parade. This year, the K-men ' s Flying Squadron took to wings again, sanctioned by the MSC. Armed to the hilt, the Squadron directed its flight through the fraternity houses, driving reluctant freshmen in front. And seldom did reluctant freshmen have to be persuaded twice, by the paddle-men.

This nerve-wracking tea parry inspired the mad and merry dream that wa most of Beggar Horseback. HHEN the Kansas Players picked Kaufman and Connelly ' s thir- teen-year-old impressionistic satire, Beggar On Horseback , for their first fall production, they signed up for a month of hard, continuous work. Results of the work were very much apparent in the finished production, both in the certainty with which actors performed their more or less cockeyed parts, and in the smoothness with which the stagecrew functioned. Beggar On Horseback is the story of Neil McRae, struggling young composer who wants to write symphonies but has to orchestrate swing music to keep beans in the pot. He loves the girl across the hall, Cynthia Mason; but his friend, Dr. Albert Rice, advises him to forget Cynthia and marry Gladys Cady for her money. Which would be fine for Gladys has the stuff in hatful Is except for the fact that Gladys also has a Family with a capital F. There is Papa Cady, super-indust- rialist, Mama Cady, hymn singer, and Brother Homer (he ' s sick) who is to state the matter briefly a skunk. Neil, worn out by lack of sleep, no lack of work, and doped by one of Dr. Rice ' s sedatives, falls asleep in his apartment and dreams of the future that would be his as Gladys Cady ' s husband. He sees himself living with Papa and Mama Cady, bounding from night club to night club like a grass- hopper with St. Vitus ' dance, going into the Cady business (we make Widgets! ) , attending conferences and being given a million dollars bonus , somehow marrying Cynthia and being curiously happy for a time, then being snatched away by Gladys, having his sym- phony torn up by her, and finally, in a burst of desperation, murdering Gladys and her entire family. When Neil is brought to trial for the triple murder, the jury sees and hears his pantomine, A Kiss In Xanadu , but sentences him to life imprisonment in the Cady Consolidated Art Factory. Neil thinks that death would be pre- ferable. So Cynthia arranges with the executioner to remove Neil ' s head. Just as the executioner is taking a large swing with his weapon, Neil awakens. He is overjoyed when his fiancee Gladys DECEMBER 1937 105 calls and decides for him that they just aren ' t suited to each other and anyway, she ' s met a boy she likes much better. Exit Gladys. Enter Cynthia. Clinch and fadeout. A good deal of the life satirized in Beggar On Horseback went pfft! as Mr. Winchell would say in 1929. However, we are still close enough to the topheavy twenties to enjoy the Kaufman- Connelly jabs at the press, the courts, big business, and what have you. The manner of the play is in- teresting. The collaborators have used the impressionistic technique, which attempts to give an impres- sion of reality, rather than reality itself. Thus, in this play we see Neil ' s impression of everything that is floating through his mind. One gets the idea that Neil ' s version of the Cadys is much more amusing than are the Cadys in the flesh. It seems to us that this par- ticular method of playwriting is especially handy for satire. It is unfortunate that so little impres- sionistic comedy has been done. There is no acting in Beggar On Horseback . Acting would certainly have spoiled the entire There was more doing back-stage in this play than in any yet. Here, among others, is Betty Butcher in costume for the pantomine, and three of the twelve- butlers that haunted poor Neil and panicked the audience. show. There was, instead, a good deal of sensitivity to caricature. And since this particular quality is, after all, natural to college stu- dents, the entire cast was most satisfactory. It is peculiarly difficult to single out individuals from the thirty-five actors who participated in Beggar On Horseback . Rolla Nuckles, we thought, was a par- ticularly ingratiating Neil Mac- Rae. And it is the humble opinion of this reviewer that Mr. Crafton is most enjoyable as an actor when he plays a broad comedy role like that of Mr. Cady. Mrs. Crafton ' s hymns and knitting will certainly remain with us per omnia secula seculorum. And to complete the roster of faculty actors, may we say that Robert Calderwood, who played Dr. Rice, is a perpetual source of delight to us as an actor simply because of the finish of his work. Mr. Calderwood always knows precisely what he is doing. Among the student actors, one should mention Roberta Cook, who plays Cynthia Mason. Not perhaps an extremely facile actress, Miss Cook has a charming way of being herself on the stage which is believe us! quite enough to satisfy the paying customers. (Continued on page 166) The audiences thought it was swell. Their reactions evidently included genteel delight (on the right) and belly-laugh (on the left). But the girl in the center the only one in the audience not laughing has something troubling her: Test tomorrow? Man trouble? Or didn ' t she quite catch on? 106 v teA downed ike i the and tke oih i By JIM ROBERTSON Thumb-nail sketches by Lucille McVey and Richard MacCann. Freshman election day dawned cold and drizzling. It was the kind of morning most people like to stay in bed, and judging from the results of the election, a lot of Pachacamacs did. Many loyal members of both parties, however, displayed a little more energy. They arose early, dusted off the cushions of the squad cars, re- moved a few old bottles caps that had accumulated in the rear seats since rush week, and set forth to help all good freshmen come to the aid of their party. The election, which was about as exciting as the county spelling con- test, climaxed a long series of po- litical rallies that had depended largely on cider and doughnuts to swell the attendance. By the time the last vote had been counted, Moe Ettenson, Pendergast of the Pacha- camac machine, had been painfully convinced that it no longer takes new students three years to dis- cover a party called P.S.G.L., for the day had witnessed the first eclipse of the Rising Sun at a fresh- man election in twenty-five years. The whole affair might well have been called Much Ado About Nothing, because Harold Back in Atchison he was a debater, actor, unger. and Republican.

Bob Brockett ' s victory was important in that it maintained P.S.G.L. ' s seven- teen to nine majority in the Men ' s Student Council. Lenora Grizzel, secretary, and Betty Kimble, vice- president, will also hold voting po- sitions in the W.S.G.A. council. With another freshman election gone, there remains nothing but a few dim sidewalk signs, painted there by ambitious parties the night before election, to remind us of the little political fracas which mildly startled the Hill ' s po- litically minded.

For its name they selected Alpha Chi Omega. Since that day 63 active chapters have become affiliated with the national group. The fall of 1914 witnessed the ap- pearance of Phi, the local chapter, on the Hill. Conveniently located as to both campus and campus eat shops, the chapter house is found at 1246 Oread Avenue. Presiding officer of the chapter is Betty Sterling, who is serving her second year in that capacity.

Granted National Pan-Hellenic membership in 1909, the organization has grown to number 46 chapters, five of which are in Canada. Not content to be a purely social organization, Alpha Gamma Delta car- ries out a philanthropic program by sponsoring summer camps for under- privileged children at Jackson, Mich., and Welland, Ont., Canada. Installation of Alpha Gamma Delta at the University of Kansas came October 20, 1920. In 1922 the name of the chapter was changed from Gamma Sigma to its present one, Epsilon Beta.

With such typical editorial directness whether it is deceiving or not is a separate problem Miss Haldeman-Julius has guided the destinies of the Daily Kansan during the first half of this semester. Though she lacks the background of having sold newspapers on the street corners of Girard, Kansas, she has learned something about the publish- ing business from her father, the Little Blue Book Haldeman-Julius. Calls newspaper work colorful and exciting thinks it ' s fun to keep in touch with all that ' s going on but would rather work for a less transitory medium. She hopes to crash the editorial board of some publishing house. Has been on K.U. ' s Kansan Board for two years, meanwhile working on a major in zoology. Has a tremendous enthusiasm for horses hopes some day to own a string of the finest; managed a riding academy last summer. And at a horse show, of course, she ' s just another Alice in Wonderland. THE JAYHAWKER 1 J - - tUat and teaA not tke mly Uie By RUTH MARY CHANDLER and BETTY GRAHAM The one thing on the Hill all the women enrolled in the Uni- versity belong to equally is the W. S. G. A. This title didn ' t come in with the present adminis- tration ' s alphabetical spree, but has. ever since the inception of the organization, been the more com- mon name for the Women ' s Self- Governing Association. Besides at least theoretically uniting all women students on a common ground, W. S. G. A. attempts to create loyalty among the women and arouse an interest in feminine affairs on the campus. Among its many functions and sponsored enterprises, W.S.G.A. has as an excellent example of its really worth-while work the book exchange in the basement of the Union. The exchange doesn ' t, as one might expect, reap large profits for the W.S.G.A., but actually sells books to the students at the lowest possible cost. It was estab- lished in 1916 by the Men ' s stu- dent council and the W.S.G.A. acting jointly. But within two years the latter had assumed full management and had made it truly non-profitmaking. Although it has been moved many times since those days, it has remained perhaps the most familiar of the W.S.G.A. projects. Another familiar institution of Hill life is the traditional W.S.G. A. tea every Wednesday afternoon in the Women ' s lounge in Ad. This the sorority freshman attend almost in a body (counts as a minor activity and is required) along with the other people who wish to become better acquainted with their fellow students. Six scholarships are offered every year by the organization one a gift scholarship, and the other five loans. They are awarded to women with high scholastic rating and low financial standing. W.S.G.A. used to put on a musical comedy annually, wherein local talent took to the boards and gave an imitation of amateur night; now the entertainment to raise money for the scholarships con- sists of the W.S.G.A. carnival in February. One of the W.S.G.A. brain children which has almost got out of hand is the mid-week varsity. This institution, which has been called the nucleus of the K.U. social whirl, was first begun in November, 1918, with its original purpose the raising of money for French orphans and for the estab- lishment of a girls ' co-operative house. If there were worries then as to the attendance of this revo- lutionary social activity, there is PRESIDENT DORIS STOCKWELL DECEMBER 193-7 123 Second Row: Nelson, Caruthers, Wilson. Norton.

The mid-week has be- come so accepted a part of Hill life that few realize that it is really the doings of the Womens ' Self- Governing Association. House rules for women students are in the hands of W.S.G.A. (you probably always wondered who was responsible for those ) and this year there have been a few such startling proposals as to allow for one late date a semester and one o ' clock closing hours for sorority parties. Other projects of the association include contributing to the K- book, student directory, and money for forums, considering a $1200 expenditure for intramural play facilities, and, in the interest of women seeking jobs, sponsoring a lecture concerning opportunities for women in various vocations. Corresponding to a national or- ganization, the Intercollegiate As- sociation of Women Students holds a convention each year to which W.S.G.A. sends two repre- sentatives. The meeting this year is in Pullman, Washington, and next year the Lawrence group will hostess the convention. W.S.G.A. election is held every spring with the exception of the offices of freshman vice-president and secretary which are elected in the fall. Here every woman stu- dent has the power of voting even if only about half of them do exercise it. President of W.S.G.A. this year is Doris Stockwell of Lawrence. Well-known for her executive as well as tennis playing ability, Doris is also active in Jay Janes and Y.W.C.A. Not new to the council because of the office of Sophomore Secretary held by her last year, Doris ' s position is rather unique in that president of the council is usually a senior. Doris, only a junior, has, however, a suf- ficient number of semesters to her credit to qualify her for the office. Vice-president Barbara Humph- rey is also a veteran on the council, having held the position of sopho- more vice-president last year. The Y.W. representative who tra- ditionally receives the title of second vice-president is Dorothy Trekell with Bette Wasson and Gevene Landrith performing duties of secretary and treasurer respec- tively.

Last year it was a contest between Pi Beta Phi and Kappa Kappa Gamma but this year Corbin Hall is now leading with organized groups close behind. Volley ball has been the main attraction so far, with Kappa Kappa Gamma defeating Pi Beta Phi and Corbin defeating T. N. T. in the first play-offs. In the finals, Kappa lost to Corbin in a thrilling game. From the teams patricipat- ing, class teams were chosen con- sisting of the more outstanding players. The senior class group did not have much difficulty in proving its superiority and defeat- ing all others. The honorary varsity team was selected from the best players in the class teams. Mary Kurd, Ruth Baker, Myra Erskine, D. J. Willcutts, Margaret Van Cleave, Esther Gilkeson, Gerry Ulm, Alice Paden, and Lois Wistler received this coveted honor. Tennis finals have not been played off due to the weather, but as it stands Doris Stockwell, win- ner of the upper bracket will play the winner of the lower bracket either D. J. Willcutts or Betty Bridges. Since D. J. won the ten- nis championship last year the odds are in her favor. The minor activities of horse- shoes, golf, and handball are not completed, but the finals in horse- shoes will be between Alpha Delta Pi and Alpha Gamma Delta; in golf, between Betty Stevenson, Judy Eidson, Jane Waring and 127 Betty Coolidge; in handball, be- tween Myra Erskine, Lois Wisler, Lenora Grizzell and D. J. Willcuts. Hockey isn ' t really intramural but it is one of the major sports in which these girls participate. This year the team has played at Wash- burn, where it was a four to one victory. Baker played here over whom the team also won four to one. The most outstanding and all around girl in intramurals is D. J. Willcutts, Alpha Delta Pi. Other outstanding women are Henlen Geis, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Maxine Woody, Chi Omega; Denny Lemoine, Pi Beta Phi; Betty Bridges, Alpha Chi Omega; Frances Carlan, Gamma Phi Beta; and Jane Blaney, Kappa Alpha Theta. These girls are consistent winners or near-winners in every sport they enter. The basketball, swimming meets, and baseball tournaments will be greeted with the same en- thusiasm as volley ball. W. A. A. is the sport club into which many of the girls receive membership. Qualifications are passing grades and one hundred and twenty-five points. Points are awarded a girl for each sport in which she participates. Mem- bership in a class team gives an additional number of points, while the longer an individual girl suc- ceeds in winning her games or matches she continues to receive more points. Although they can ' t all win the girls all have a lot of fun and more important, new friends in the intra- mural activities. THE JAYHAWKER What ever happened to the Ray Hirschman- Betty Rogers romance? . . . There is also a rift in the Bill Wolfe-Mary Ann Edgerton combination. . .Can it be that Sewell Black isn ' t enjoying as much success as was predicted with that yellow car? . . .

Rumors are that Gam Phi flash, Bash, is to be back on the Hill again next semester. Might as well make reservations early boys and avoid the rush. Advertisement. Margaret McCoy, Kappa pledge, gave us the impression of being in heaven while riding home on the K.U. special from Lincoln with footballer Bill Arnold. There are distinct signs of seriousness between these two. We wonder what Neal Mannen is trying to prove by dating the Alpha Chis ' as a chapter. So far Betty Sterling, Mary Frances Ormsby, Frances Jones, Annette Lawrence and Jeannette January have been a few of the lucky girls. Could it be that Neal thinks there is safety in numbers? For after all, the little Washington girl does still consider herself engaged doesn ' t she? It ' s developed into a morning, noon and night affair between nei ghbors Arleen Irvine and Queenie Thomson. He waits for her at 8:30, walks her to her 1:30 tho ' he has no class on the Hill then, and helps her with her accounting at night ( at least that ' s their story ) .

(Continued on page 163) DECEMBER 1937 129 J Section ol the that Photos by Neal Maonon, Marjorie Trembly, and Duke D ' Ambra 1 J 1 J In the upper left corner is a scene inside our press box at the Kansas State game. Just below it is an artistic shot of the playing of the national anthem, also taken from the press box. The toss of the coin, shown above, is at the Kansas State game, and was probably the most interesting thing that happened there all day. Immediately above is our desperate punt in the dying minutes of the Missouri gome, after an amaxing stand on the one-foot line. On the opposite page: There are two historical documents here. One is that Scoreboard, snapped at our game against Nebraska, end of the third quarter, Nebraska ' s ball. The other is that action shot, which shows the exact miment of K.U. ' s first touchdown against Iowa State. Above the latter photo is the team at a rally, and at its righr is a rally in Nebraska. On both sides, below, are student reactions to it all. AS KING FOOTBALL assumed its annual position in the sportlight early this fall, middle-western sports writers hailed mighty Nebraska, perennial champions, the Big-Six leaders, generously conceded Kansas last place. Critical observers pointed to KU ' s woefully weak 1936 season to support their prophesies, and even our most enthusiastic fol- lowers, if there were any, felt the current season would be a success should the Jayhawkers even tie a single conference game. KU spirit was at its lowest ebb. Cheerleaders, accustomed to going through motions with little noise resulting, disliked prospects of another dismal season in which the student body showed little pep. Interested alumni, too, had grown tired of watching KU play defensive football all afte rnoon. Even the chant of the famous Rock Chalk had tempo- rarily died. Working silently with his squad in early season practice, Head Coach Adrian Lindsey made no attempt to answer continual criticism from every direction, for as some said, he knew he was on the spot. To him, it was this year or never. Kansas, people said, is building for the next two years, and after that we won ' t have a team that finishes in last place. Opening the season with an unimpressive work-out with the fresh- men, Kansas next journeyed the short distance to Topeka for a warm-up (Continued on page 157) 1. Meier 2. Connody 3. Richordton 4.

Caldwell Photos by Marjorie Trembly, Ncal Mannon, Lester Combs, Tom Bowlus, and Duke D ' Ambra Something, as you may have judged, happened to foot- ball at K U. this year. To those who saw K.U. last year for the first time, the change in s ' udent reaction was startling. We started off our Big Six schedule with a smashing surprise, by walking all over Iowa State I upper left). We played a driving, smashing game that day, as the picture shows. People everywhere began to think that there might be something to this fellow, Gwinn Henry ' upper right), who is shown here talking between the halves at the Kansas State game. As the winning season progressed, the effect could be seen at the practices, with a new kind of enthusiasm in the squad I upper right, under Henry), and with large crowds of students down watching every day. A new faith was shown in the coaches, (center right). And when we went to Nebraska for our Big Game, we went by the thousands and rallied in the Lincoln streets (center left). And the gcme at Nebraska was unforgettable, setting a new high in football thrills. The huge stadium was jammed to overflowing (center). Compare this crowd with the Iowa State game above. Throughout the season, student pep organizations were active and enthusiastic. They organized card displays (center left), and took new interest in initiations, (lower right). Students were more interested, and even excited, this year (lower left), and flocked in great crowds to every game. DECEMBER 1937 135 UNLIKE the intercollegiate foot- U ball season, the intramural foot - ball season was one of few upsets. The only game that might be termed such was the Phi Gam-Pi K. A. game, in which the Phi Gams lost a 6-0 battle. The only resemblence to the intercollegiate season was the fact that there were no untied or unbeaten teams. As was predicted in the first article, the Phi Gams, champions two years ago, again won the title. The co-champions of division I were the Phi Gams and the Phi Delts both with five wins and one loss. Pi K. A. was in the play-offs with the champions as second choice in the division. In division II the Phi Psis were at the top of the list with Kappa Sigma playing second fiddle. Both of these teams were in the play-offs. In the third division Beta Theta Pi emerged at the top of the list with only one tie and the Sig Alps just behind. The Delta Taus were third and gained a place in the play-offs. In six-man football the 4:30 Engineers took first in one division and the Sig Eps and Betas were co-champions in the other. In the big-team play-offs the Phi claded, Gams came back at the Pi K. A. ' s determined to spread them all over the field and they did with a 19-0 win. The Betas with the highest percentage of any team just barely snuffed out the hopes of the Delta Taus only to come back and be overthrown by the Phi Psi ' s 6-0. The Phi Delts were put on the shelf by the Sig Alphs in the first game of the play-offs. In a much cleaner game than we all expected from such intense rivals, the Phi Gams beat the Sig Alphs 9-2. In this game both A l p lt Gtj. tk teams were fairly evenly matched for the first half, but as soon as the Phi Gams made their first touch- down the Sig Alphs seemed to blow up just as the Phi Gams did in the Pi K. A. game and the game was in the favor of Phi Gamma Delta all the rest of the way. The final game between Phi Gamma Delta and Phi Kappa Psi was a close one with the Phi Gams the victors by one touchdown. The Phi Psis made it tough all after- noon and were just short of a touchdown when the game ended. It is easy to see from these scores (Continued on page 156) I ike By DEAN HYER This is the Winning Team THE JAYHAWKER And I thought it was a hulluva note when the big shots scheduled Hobo Day and Homecoming festivities to be held during Thanksgiving vacation, sighed a splendidly and happily exhausted student as he jostled his way out of the stadium. He had just witnessed, along with 22,999 other enthusiastic fans, the annual Turkey Day classic between the Missouri Tigers and the Kansas Jayhawkers. For two days he had rallied, marched, and shouted, Welcome Grads or Beat Missouri. He had worked tirelessly so that his house might display a prize win- ning float in the torchlight parade. He had done everything that a loyal Jayhawker could do to make Homecoming and Hobo Day the largest and most colorful in the history of the University. Now that it was over again until next year he was particularly rhankful that he had three days left before classes were resumed in On the field between halves were all kinds of celebreties. Here are Assistant-Queen Blaney. Governor Huxman, Queen Doris Johnson, Student-Council President Don Voorhees, and Assistant Queen Parti Payne. By ELTON CARTER The members of the organized houses worked hard on their decorations, even risking their necks on ladders like this boy. which to recuperate. Opined by most to have been the gayest yet most orderly Home- coming in many years, the festivi- ties this year were climaxed by a 0-0 tie between the Tigers and the Jayhawkers and the coronation of the Homecoming queen Thanks- giving Day, November 25. But the preface to the two days ' antics began long before with meetings of the Homecoming Committee, and harried looks on the smaller committees of the individual or- ganized houses who furrowed their collective brows over something really original for decorations this year. Probably a thousand students elected not to remain for the fun, but another thousand were cer- tainly present from the very begin- ning of things, donned in the re- galia of the hobo as they took over the Campus Wednesday morning for the annual half-day rags festival. Assembling at nine-thirty at the Union building the Hoboes and the Hoboettes, led by the Uni- DECEMBER 19 3. 7 137 atut and : it UMZ a lot Some went home, but those that stayed overran the Hill in the best Hobo Day in years. The Jayhawker ' s photographers were on hand to catch every phase in pictures. First, the mob gathered at the auditorium and there elected their queen, a dubious honor won by Dennie Lemoine, the Pi Phi entry, the middle girl in the center right picture. The other two ore Julie Heimbrook, Gamma Phi, and Helen Geis, Kappa, runners-up. Frank Warren is conducting the sorority mouse race, center left.

The various organization - sponsored candidates for the contest were pre- sented individually, to be chosen by the applause of the student tramps. Deneise Lemoine, Pi Beta Phi, received the greatest ovation and was crowned with a straw hat by Lewis Ward, captain of the foot- ball team for the Missouri game. Honeyed cajolry was used by the sorority girls in trying to inspire their entrants to greater speed in the annual mouse race but the Chi Omega entrant won by the more practical, if less humane, method of being knocked bodily from the ring by a snowball from unknown hands. Red McGinley, Phi Gamma Delta, won the hotly contested fraternity sack race. Then Red capped his own climax by also winning the Schiller Shore Man- hood Trophy for having the longest and most bristling beard among the Hoboes. Although this award was instituted for the first time this year, it will become an annual part of the traditional rally. A Hobo dance to the music of Red Blackburn ' s Swingsters, in the Union building ballroom, wound up the morning ' s activities. Then the students, with their half-day of hilarious fun out of the way, suddenly discovered that floats still had to be constructed, Homecoming decorations finished, and a general welcome smeared from one end of the Campus to the other for already Grads and howl- ing Missourians were arriving. Many worked feverishly through dinner, but the result was spec- tacular. The annual torchlight parade, composed of thirty floats, two bands, a drum and bugle corps, and hundreds of marching students, emerged as the most thrilling pep demonstration in many years. Three large bombs announced the assembling of the participants at Eleventh and Massachusetts at seven-thirty following a half-hour rally broadcast by KFKU at six o ' clock. The engineering technique definitely cropped up in the Theta Tau float which won first prize of ten dollars. Their entry displayed Yes, this is the stadium at Kansas University; the one sure proof of widespread interest in the season ' s football successes. DECEMBER 193, 7 139 a replica of Memorial stadium in which revolved a drum, showing a Jayhawk chasing a Tiger. Second prize of eight dollars went to Alpha Gamma Delta sorority. These co-eds had devised a pole at the foot of which swung a sledge- hammer catapulting a football skyward to ring the gong a Bengal Tiger. A scene showing the tottering columns of Mis- souri ' s famed Francis quadrangle won for Acacia fraternity the third prize of seven dollars. So outstanding were the floats that eight other organizations were awarded prizes of five dollars each and were ranked in the following order: Phi Kappa Psi, Gamma Phi Beta, Delta Tau Delta, Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Sigma, Pi Beta Phi, Delta Chi, and Chi Omega. The parade was led by the Uni- versity band, followed by the Jay Janes, the Homecoming queen candidates riding in cars, the Ku Ku club, students, one group of floats, the Lawrence American Legion drum and bugle corps. Fol- lowing another group of floats; came the Haskell Institute band and a group of Indian students in custume. A cavalry detachment escorted the queens. Police and K-men helped man- age the line as it moved north on Massachusetts. The parade veered west at Seventh street and over to Vermont, then around to the front of the WREN building for the broadcast of the Homecoming rally. Hovey Hanna, a local merchant, officiated as master of ceremonies during the rally. The band fur- nished the music for the songs and yells. Warren Woody of Chicago, who was a member of the 1916 team which defeated Nebraska, spoke of his school days at K. U. and praised the coaching staff for its work this season. Other speakers included Ralph Conger, Ad Lindsey, and Gwinn Henry who gave brief pep talks. George Dumpy Bowles, one of (Continued on page 156) This is only one of the many such floats, cocky and colorful, in the Homecoming parade.

Several weeks ago, the writer grew tired of a humdrum existence without mid- weeks and fine arts recitals and de- termined to learn the real truth about the unregistered students at K.U. He presents the following uncensored and hitherto unpub- lished information. Although the Kansas City Star, with a natural consideration and delicacy, has not published exten- sive reports of the present Com- munist investigation, most stu- dents are acquainted with its be- ginnings. After adjournment, the Kansas legislature agreed by com- mon consent to visit the University in search of subversive influences. After a gay round of receptions and banquets, the lawmakers set out in high spirits to explore the many basements and sewers in the hope of finding a cache of weapons and ammunition for a Communist putsch. This dangerous expedition left their ranks so depleted chiefly because of a certain fondness for pulling strange levers that the state representatives, in alarm, sent out a plea to all patriotic citizens, asking for aid in pursuing the in- vestigation. Response was heart-warming. The Governor was the first to ap- pear (as was found out afterward) disguised in a freshman cap, and with plans for a secret inquiry. Slipping through the Kappa Sigma back door, he quietly lost him- self among the pledges. All went well until one day he heard an active frantically calling the Kansan to check figures. Nothing came of it, however. The Governor was but the first of many patriotic citizens. I.O. O.F. chapters throughout the county sent delegates to Law- rence. The Associated Women ' s Clubs of New England, Maine, and Vermont sent a large group. The American Legion could hardly refrain from marching to the of- fending college en masse. Edu- cation associations, the Liberty League, and the U.S. Senate sent investigating committees. Some of these and a number of G-men used the Governor ' s tactics with considerable success. Without benefit of registration or such fol-de-rol, these new students attended many different classes, under disguise. It is true that acute observers on the Hill were vaguely disturbed by the un- paralleled attendance at forums and engineering lectures. But the K. C. Star was still discreetly silent, and students remained in ignorance of the real facts. And, of course, the Kansan was pretty busy with the syphilis problem. Events soon came to a head, however. Too many people had been flocking in Lawrence was fairly bursting. And to top it all coming at the same time as the Windsors and completely spoiling their publicity the Presidents (Continued on page 164) 146 THE JAYHAWKER Photo by Duke D ' Ambra.

Her of- ficial title is Adviser of Women but her work extends far beyond that symbol. Among the duties of Miss Meguiar, her assistant, and her secretary are the supervision of student living conditions; direction of employment for women; authorization of hill parties; and composition of the university social calendar. And when these are not keeping her busy, she is working with one of the many committees of which she is a member, or enjoying a chat with a university woman. Miss Meguiar, born and reared in Louisville, re- ceived her first schooling at the Science Hill School for Girls at Shelbyville, Kentucky. She majored in home economics at the University of Chicago. Whence she was called to Pennsylvania College, to teach for three years in the home economics depart- ment. She taught also at Chicago Univeristy and at Texas, before coming to Kansas in 1918. In 1935, Miss Meguiar succeeded Dean Agnes Hus- band in her position of women ' s adviser; it is in this capacity that she offers to be of service to girls in any way that she may to help them secure work, find a place to stay or to solve any other difficulties. Her hobby is the study of horses likes to find odd little knickknacks and antiques with which to decorate her home, likes to make plans for landscap- ing and redecoration. A pleasing, graceful conver- sationalist herself, Miss Meguiar finds people inter- esting and loves to meet and talk with them on any topic. Her one great fear is that girls consider her office a disciplinary one rather than a room where problems are discussed and friendly interviews are frequent. DECEMBER 1937 147 By Minute Biographies RICHARD MacCANN Raymond Nichols was born on a farm and has worked most of his way since. At K.U. he certainly was no slouch. Member of Owl Society and Sachem both, editor of the Kansan and the Jayhawker both, Phi Beta Kappa, and Honor Man in 1927 and that ' s about all. Then there were two years of graduate work and a thesis on the As- sociated Press. He got some worthwhile summer experience on the Larned Tiller and Toiler, successful country weekly. Then the K.C. Kansan picked him up and set him to work writing editorials as well as reporting. But soon he accepted the position of chancellor ' s secretary at K.U., for he likes college life and administrative work. Also likes golf his brother won him over and reads extensively and critically, mostly non- fiction. But then, too, he sometimes reads Red accusations and the funny papers. Tells of one summer when he and two friends dashed off for a delicious summer six weeks in a model T. Saw the East Washing- ton, New York, Niagara Falls, and Kansas City. They slept in cots on the ground, and when it rained they hung blankets on either side and slept in the car. Says he wouldn ' t have missed the trip for anything. Nobody was happier over the attendance at the Missouri game than Karl Klooz. Not only another in his long list of games attended, it marked a long step toward relieving him of one of his jobs- secretary-treasurer of the K.U. pay-for-the-stadium corpo- ration. The bursar has to be a member (usually treasurer) of nearly every committee on the Hill. Every cent that is taken in or spent by the university goes through his office. He came from a Guyman, Oklahoma, farm to business college in Lawrence; worked in town for a while; and is now celebrating his twenty-first con- secutive year as the man with the bills both monthly and dollar. Is a prominent Rotarian and hasn ' t missed a meeting for thirteen years. It keeps him traveling that and football games. A spinach- hater. Has a daughter seven years old who will all too soon be paying her fees. Likes to celebrate his wedding anniversary on Thanksgiving. ' f her te ire Mathematics was Charles McCreight ' s long suit in the Wilsey Rural High School that and farming, which was an extra- curricular project. He was offered scholarships in Kansas denomi- national schools, but preferred to go to Manhattan, where he im- mediately got mixed up with the student army training corps year, 1918. After 72 days there ' s an accountant ' s memory for you he was relieved of that duty and went ahead with studies. But for four years thereafter, the farm claimed him again, and later he came to the Lawrence Business College. Snapped up the fol- lowing year by the K.U. business office (October 16, 1925, to be exact), he has been treasurer of student activities and organization accounts ever since. Has lots to do every organization on the Hill has to register every financial act and plan with him. Sometimes the whole staff pitches in to help him work on that yearly $150,000 that passes across his desk. Mac is a golfiend; also likes to hunt. Is proud of the ' 36 Ford his wife won in a contest. The team had just made a first down, starting from the ten-yard line and Registrar Foster leaped into an Indian dance with the man next to him joyously going ' round and ' round. Not an unusual thing for the registrar a star rooter for many years both before and after but when he stopped to identify his partner he found it was Chancellor Snow himself! Yes, George O. as his Sunday School pupils have affectionately called him for some 33 years started as a clerk under Dr. Snow in the 1890 ' s. Then, appointed to the position in 1897 as a freshman- there were about 400 students and four buildings he became the first full-time registrar upon graduation. Still going strong after forty years with seven asistants, of course. Says srudents haven ' t changed much basically. Kansans are always good folks. (Came from Centralia himself.) Is proud of his invaluable records of K.U. ' s growth, but also values his contacts with srudents. Emphasizes the come in sign on his door. Says even the dogs come to see him. Mr. Foster has a favorite quotation a good one: A man can do a lot of good in this world if he doesn ' t care who gets the credit. : .- Q e4, 1 All ike P dieA. THE IAYHAWKER Part of the unexpected crowd at the Freshman Frolic. Here the Hill queens showed off their new evening gowns to the general public the first time. V OARING punts, blaring trumpets, and beautiful U women characterized the Hill as this installment of the hilarious antics of the social flyers takes form. There have been so many things to do so many things to see, and so many places to be seen in, if you know what we mean, since the first issue, that your cor- respondent is left breathless. Friday night, October 8, Pi Beta Phi held open house in its customary refreshing fashion. Louis Kuhn, on the bandstand with all the lads, really did it up brown as the Pi Phi queens accepted numerous bouquets from their prancing partners. Standouts were: exhilerating Mary Lewis, enchanting Maxine Trucking on down in the Grand March of the all-feminine Puff -Pant Prom. The girl in the middle it Maxine Woody, first prize winner for being the best boy there. The great Miller, and traditional, ever glamorous Betty Lou McFarland. And so the party was destined to suc- cess, with fascinating women and excellent music furnishing the enticing environment. A full bill of entertainment was on the schedule for Saturday as the Kansas football team and sup- porters journeyed to Wichita to gang up against the University there. The fact that Kansas came out on the short end of the 18-7 score was not indicative of the true character of the game, but they still payoff on scores, so that ' s that. That night, those who adhere to the glories of Gamma Phi Beta flocked through the portals of that first Independent hour dance was well attended and was greeted with enthusiasm. , DECEMBER 1937 149 house to see what was in the offing. And there was plenty to be seen with such dazzling damsels as this year ' s Julie Heimbrook and last year ' s Jane Sanford wilting the stag line. Needless to say, the party was jammed, probably because of the fact that the Gamma Phi ' s always seem to come through with a flashing crop of youngsters. At the same time, the Union Ballroom was the setting for another varsity with Red Blackburn at the controls. There was a goodly crowd in attendance, as has been the case at every dance staged by Paul Kihm this year. New faces were in evidence, testify- ing to the fact that those of the weaker hearts are responding to the call of the trumpet. Wednesday and another mid-week for the good of all concerned. A great institution, this mid-week break in the monotony of it all. The evening of Friday, October 1 5 , was a big one as far as both those rivals, the Phi Gam ' s and the Sig Alph ' s were concerned. The annual tacky party held at the Phi Gam was one of those riotous, rowdy, Big- appling affairs where a good time is inevitable, and was proclaimed by the Fijis to be their best yet. Louis Kuhn was the maestro there, while Red Blackburn blared forth from the Sig Alph house where the Bowery Party belied its name and offered nothing intoxicating aside from the strains of the orchestra. The next afternoon proved bountiful in cheer to Jayhawkers as an underdog Kansas eleven took the measure of Iowa State to the merry tune of 14-6. It set the stage for the K-Club varsity that night, which proved a gala meeting of the joyous fans as the heroes of the game received their due plaudits. Everyone as the team was cheered, although the mas- cot, Dennie Lemoine, was passed over in the rush. At the Sig Ep house, the party air was further en- hanced by the victory, so that the revelers had noth- ing to complain about as far as a good time was concerned. The Kappa ' s gave their pledges a grand debut Fri- day night in the Union Building with the entire male population as participating audience. A perplexing Dorothy Jones kept the stag line in a twitter while (Continued on page 162) The fall season is always one costume party after another.

Wildgen ' II DECEMBER 1937 151 1 J I muck the By BILL JOHNSON Once again a group of pre- medics has changed into medics, and a crowd of ninety aspiring neophytes has moved in to take its place. Although only the best of this ninety ever attain medic status, because of the high scholastic re- quirements, all freshman medics have as their goal that very sig- nificant milestone, the transfer from the Hill school to the Uni- versity of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, Kansas. Distant seems this goal to them, who fear elimi- nation during the first year and a half at Lawrence. Nevertheless, that year and a half of study holds a morbid fasci- nation for most other students, jmainly because of cadaver dis- section. There has been too much emphasis on this phase of study, say the faculty here: too much sensationalism, too much of the big, blase, hardened he-men medics taking iddle, excited co- eds in to scream with feminine horror at the corpses. Even this blase he-man, somewhat accus- tomed to handling and studying similar laboratory specimens, prob- ably had difficulty in maintaining a front of stoic indifference. But a week or two of almost intimate as- A pair of medics snapped on the campus, characteristically carrying bones. sociation and very intricate study changes the cadaver into a very complex, but interesting biological specimen. When one is trained to recognize bones, muscles, and other anotomical structures by touch as well as sight, one soon loses any mental aversions to cadaver study. To the medic the Commons building is a place for work, hard work, and it is far from being the museum which the average student believes it to be. The Jayhawker attempted to as- certain why ninety students en- rolled as Freshman Medics every year, with the following con- (Continued on page 156) EUGENE WALKER BOB DUNHAM ELMER HINTON 152 THE JAYHAWKER I] The whole rebirth of school spirit this year fasci- nates us, but one incident in particular kind of epitomizes the way we all felt and acted this fall. It was in one of these huge psychology classes, and they were conducting an experiment about the effect of background on color stimulus, or some such thing. Part of the equipment were cards with big letters in one color set in rows against backgrounds of anot her color. When the instructor held up one of the series, showing a couple of rows of K ' s, the drowsy silence of the classroom was suddenly shattered by a voice from the back of the room, shouting hysterically, Rally! Life, for us, week in and week out, is just one booth after another. It used to be that when people cogitated on what future historians would pick as the outstanding characteristic of the age, it was generally thought it would be referred to as the Age of Speed, or the Skyscraper Age, or the Automobile Age. We are pretty sure, however, that the historians of the future will most probably call this the Age of Booths. We can remember the day when the typical hang-out of the younger set was the drug-store with its white porcelain-top tables and wire-backed chairs covered with starched linen. Now any such place in a college town is doomed to failure before it even tries to make a go. Not long ago we had to take an open table at Wiedemann ' s, and we felt like perfect fools. The Rexall store tried to make a go with just a fountain and tables for a while, but when it put in that knotty-pine room full of booths, it began to really pack them in. It ' s got so that the Art of Booth- Snatching has become the true mark of a guy that really gets around. To see it practiced at its best, try the Blue Mill. All that really worries us about the whole trend are its ultimate effects on the Youth of Today. When we get out of school and are trying to make a big impression on an out-of-town buyer, we probably won ' t know how to eat without the wall bumping one elbow and our date the other, with our knees tangled up with those of the guy on the other side. We ' ll feel self-conscious unless we have a cubbyhole to pop into, and a table-cloth will terrify us. It suddenly occurred to us the other night that in all our vast experience of at least double-dating, and usually triple- or quadruple-dating, in our years at K.U., never have any two girls had to be introduced to one another. They apparently have not only met each other, but the tone of their voice shows that they are practically old chums and intimate acquain- tances. If you ask a girl in a simple conversation on the campus if she knows so-an-so, she will say, no, she doesn ' t believe she does. But if she ' s double- dating with so-an-so, they ' ll greet each other with an undercurrent of mutual understanding positively crackling between them. For a while, we thought that it meant that the popular girls of the Hill date so tremendously much, that every girl has at some time or other double-dated with every other girl. But the mathematics of every possible such combination are unbelievable, even for K.U. So it ' s our private theory that when they greet each other in the car with that cheerful, Oh, hello! they are really afraid that the other girl is pretty popular and it will look like maybe the speaker doesn ' t get around very much if she doesn ' t know her. That undercurrent of mutual understanding that is so noticeable is either the other girl thinking the same thing or the great instinctive agreement among all Hill girls that no one of them will ever spoil the act for another one.

A general Pachacamac invasion is not invited, however, for Don has to save some time to make that inevitable lis t of A ' s and all the honor rolls in sight. Works at chemistry mostly, but likes to try his hand at speech and debate has had some trifling success, being Campus Problems Contest winner these two years and one of the foremost speakers on the Hill. Incidentally, he com- plains of invariable stage-fright. Has a sneaking am- bition to become a real rabble-rouser, but hopes, publicly, to be connected with the chemical industry, perhaps in an administrative capacity. Is more in- terested in people than in phenophthalein and carbon hydroxide. Likes Hal Kemp ' s orchestra, Ferde Grofe ' s symphonies, shooting, non-fiction, and Time magazine. But whether as Stinky, bearing the familiar aroma of chem lab, as Hitler, a powerful opponent in debate, or as a diligent Summerfield scholar and member of Sachem, he ' s really a good guy for a student-body representative. 154 THE JAYHAWKER DEAN L. O. HAVENHILL UNE of the more quiet but none the less important elements of our University is the Pharmacy school. Located in the east end of the Chemistry building, the Phar- macists claim that it is the chemists rather than they who are re- sponsible for the inconveniences suffered by the passerbys. They claim they tend to their own busi- ness, which is just as well, if they are to be our future prescription- fillers. The pharmacists feel that they have importance even if they don ' t make as much noise as the laws. If they weren ' t important, why would their 101 students be organized in a separate School of our University? An act of the Kansas Legis- lature providing for a chair of Pharmacy at the University of Kansas was put into effect in Sep- tember, 1885. Mr. Lucius E. Sayre of Philadelphia was chosen to fill it in 1935. His leadership and work contributed greatly to the prestige which our Pharmacy school enjoys. In 1 899 the School of Pharmacy was established and GI-ORGE WOOD ALBKRT LAUGHL1N LOWELL KRAUM By BLAINE 6RIMES Professor Sayre was made Dean. In the same year, present Dean Havenhill affiliated with the school. The basement of the pre- sent journalism building ( then the chemistry building) was used as the first quarters of the Pharma- cists but with the completion of the chemistry building in 1902, the school moved in to its present location. On the death of Dean Sayre, Professor Havenhill was made Dean. He impresses us with a friendliness combined with a quiet sincerity. He is well known to the druggists of Kansas as the repre- sentative from Kansas to the National Pharmaceutical Associ- ation and as one of the authors of the National Pharmacopoeia. His ability coupled with his 38 years of experience here at K. U. makes him an able leader for our Phar- macy school. The Pharmacy School offers a course for persons interested in any of the different phases of phar- macy. A commercial course is of- fered for those who wish to operate drug stores. In addition to the regular pharmacy courses, these students are required to study such subjects as Economics and Ac- counting. A pre-medic course is offered for those who will study medicine. Clarence Birrer, one of the outstanding senior pharmacy students, is a pre-medic and be- lieves that his knowledge of phar- macy will be valuable to him when he becomes a doctor. The other course offered is the scientific. This prepares students for research and industrial laboratory work. What about the modern drug- store? Do our pharmacy students want to be Katz druggists? Where do they personally see the future in the drug business? Mar- vin Richey, a pharmacy student chosen at random, takes a middle ground. He is not interested in either the highly commercial modern drug store or the other modern tendency the profes- sional pharmacy.

Some, whose fathers are physicians and whose lives have already been influenced by daily contact with the subject, feel that it is just born in them. To all, the study and its application holds a fascination, de- pending partly on the profession ' s variety and uncertainty. Financial gain plays no insignificant part. Such general reasons are only a few of the many which explain the full enrollment and waiting list in the School of Medicine. Historically speaking, the legislature of Kansas first established, in 1899, the School of Medicine of Kansas Uni- versity, which offered only the first two years of medical training. A complete four year course leading to an M. D. degree was instituted when this school merged with the Kansas City Medical College, the Medicochiurgical College, and the Kansas City College of Physicians and Surgeons. Buildings on grounds near Rosedale donated to the University by Dr. Simeon Bell in memory of his wife, Elizabeth Taylor Bell, were occupied by the School of Medicine in 1906. These buildings, Bell Memorial Hospital, and many later additions to the School of Medicine in Kansas City constitute the present Uni- versity of Kansas Hospital. Dr. O. O. Stoland, secretary of the School of Medicine, heads its adminis- tration here at Lawrence. The faculty also includes Doctors Sherwood, Woodard, Latimer, Nelson, Treece, Downs, and Tracy. Their guidance and teaching prepare students for the ad- vanced work at Rosedale. Important contributions to this training are made by discussion and cooperative study in the three professional medical fra- ternities and the national honorary medical fraternity, Alpha Omega Alpha. For purposes of unity the Freshman class annually establishes a formal or- ganization. They elect their own of- ficers, who this year are: Eugene Walker, president; Bob Dunham, vice- president; and Elmer Hinton, secretary- treasurer.

The twelve candidates for queen of the Homecoming were introduced and each asked for a prediction of the score of the game, after which, still yelling, the crowd dispersed. But the parade was cnly a begin- ning to the possible activities on Wednesday evening. At six o ' clock the registration books for old grads were made available in the lounge of the Union building, and classmates were clapping one another enthusias- tically on the back. Those who ar- rived early enough were entertained at a dinner at the Hotel Eldridge by the K.U. Relays Club. Many took time off to cruise the Hill and laugh at the displays at the organized houses. All were clever and colorful; all reflected the new spirit of K.U., seeming a bit more confi- dent, even cocky, than usual. Winner for the boys was Phi Delt, the peren- nial, displaying refreshing originality as usual, with those screamingly funny mountaineers out of Esquire for comic interest. Winner for the girls was Gamma Phi. Culminating the first day ' s festivities was the Homecoming varsity in the Union ballroom. The crowd was slow arriving, but huge when it got there, with considerable spirit of gaity. This spirit was even more universal by Thursday morning, as cars sped through the streets loaded with rival rooters, colors flying. The preceeding week had been cold, but Thursday was dream-weather for football. Pre-game activities included radio rallies featuring bands, glee clubs, and general riotous yelling, with KMBC and WHB carrying the K.U.-M.U. rivalry to the ends of the continent. Inter-game activities included the an- nouncement of a new victory token, an indian tom-tom, the introduction of Governor Huxman, and the long- awaited presentation of the Home- coming Queen, Doris Johnson, Kappa, with her two assistants, Jane Blaney, Theta, and Patti Payne, Alpha Chi, all of whom were chosen by the Missouri team. But the game itself was the main interest. The K.U.-M.U. game would be good, even if both teams were fight- ing for cellar position in the Big Six, which was certainly not the case this year. Although the game ended in a scoreless tie, after one of the most evenly-matched games in the history of the contest, few of the twenty-two thousand fans felt disappointed. It had been a thrilling game full of forty- five years of tradition and significance. It had been fun! Which went for the whole two days as far as the students were concerned. Pki QamA H ia (Continued from page 135) that none of the division winners were overwhelmingly champions. Every game all through the season was hard fought with the winner being usually the one who scored first. Only in a few instances during the whole season was the score more than one touchdown out of balance. Now on the brink of the basketball season it is a tossup who will win as the number of entries are so numerous. As we said in our first article, the independent teams are becoming more numerous and we hear that basketball is where they shine, so we ' ll watch them. Last year the Sig Alphs won A di- vision basketball, but this year one of their stars is going out for varsity competition, giving some of the rest of us a chance.

Kansas headlines some wit suggested it was as though war had been declared and all middle-western papers carried the news, for here was an event of far reaching importance. Important not only to those interested in football results, or the State uni- versity, but also important for what it did to the student body. KU-14 Iowa State-6! As we look back on the game now, it seemed like a determined band of Jayhawkers that took the field that bleak October day of the 16th, for they certainly took advantage of the breaks or as most coaches will tell you, they made the breaks. And it was all they needed. Confidence and punch seemed to follow little Milton Sullivant ' s inter- ception and subsequent run of Wilder ' s forward pass to the Cyclone 16-yard stripe. There, in scoring territory, Douglass, Replogle, and Sullivant took turns at pounding the Iowa State for- ward wall until the ball was on the five, goal to go and four downs to make it in. Douglass finally hit center on fourth down, and the ball was over. Doug ' s kick went squarely through the uprights. 7,000 fans expected KU to try simply to protect that lead, but the Jayhawkers had found their drive, and from their own forty they marched to another touchdown. Doug ' s place kick was good, his fourteenth point of the day. It was a lifeless Cyclone that left the field for intermission State had been held to no first downs from scrimmage, while the Jayhawks had chalked up seven, not to mention fourteen points. Though Kansas made only one more first down in the second half, she held the Iowa Staters to five, and except for one instance deftly kept them away from the goal line. The Cyclone con- tinued its slow first-half gait until the middle of the fourth quarter, when Kansans got a glimpse of one brilliantly executed play, a short, two-handed bas- ketball pass from tackled Al Waite right into the hands of swift Hugh Cickerstaff, who streaked down the field for the only Cyclone touchdown. The attempted try for extra point was blocked, and Jayhawk fans breathed easier. When the game ended many of the students remained for the Rock Chalk, while others quickly converged on Kansas players, shouting words of praise. Here was the first conference victory; and here was the first of the new spirit a spirit that was soon to engulf all Lawrence. No one could help but notice Adrian Lindsey ' s first real smile since early in the fall of 1936, but he continued his policy of silence. Oklahoma was the next opponent. In the latter part of the week the sport pages, as usual, were filled with the Saturday football pre- dictions, and for the second conference game, Kansas was again the underdog. No one picked Kansas for waiting in Soonerville was an Oklahoma team re- puted to have the best line in the Big- Six, a team that had played mighty Nebraska conqueror of Minnesota to an 0-0 standstill. But coaches will tell you that they enjoy being the underdog, purely for the great psycho- logical advantage. The student body gave the KU squad a good send-off as they boarded the Roses Orchids Gardenias RUmSEY ALLISOII PHONE 363 927 MASS. train for Norman, but little did we realize what it would be like when they came back. In a story-book game, Kansas staged what was probably the greatest Frank Merriwell finish of all time, when, with only twenty seconds remaining, two substitutes Don Ebling and Dick Amerine completed a pass that dupli- cated KU ' s 1935 victory under sur- prisingly similar conditions. Kansas 6, Oklahoma 3! Unfortunate enough not to be able to make the long trip to Oklahoma, most of us hugged the radio all Satur- day afternoon, straining to catch in- distinct reports of the game. The an- nouncer reminded us after each suc- ceeding play of the quickly-diminish- ing time and familiar statement of Well, they can ' t do anything this late in the game, come back to us now. When the announcer first gasped, KU has scored a touchdown, we actually couldn ' t believe the sudden shock. Half-dazed students jumped from their chairs to crowd around the radio, and when he said it again, chaos broke loose all over the campus.

We weren ' t here following the Jayhawkers tie with Notre Dame, but there couldn ' t have been any more spirit, we thought, then or anytime. For two more weeks, Kansas would lead the Big-Six. This time it was a different wag who remarked that the Conference standings were upside down. Ad Lindsey still didn ' t say much, proceeded to get ready for Michigan State. It soon became apparent, though, that the team was not pointing for the Spartans. Athletic relations between the two schools were severed, and, any- way, Nebraska was next. Kansas held the powerful State team for three quarters, could hold them off no longer. Within one minute after the fourth quarter opened, the Spartans had scored, and Kansas came off on the short end of the score, 0-16. Credit must be given to a fighting Jayhawk line that repeatedly held off the State gridders in scoring territory. AUTO WRECKING AND JUNK CO.

Rallies came all week long, as everyone prepared for the trip. a ie Again, the Jayhawkers were not favored. Hadn ' t the Cornhuskers just finished whipping another Big-Ten school, Indiana? Weren ' t they sup- posed to have one of the greatest lines in their long list of outstanding foot- ball teams? Weren ' t center Brock and tackle Shirey being groomed for All- American honors? But the stage was ready for an upset. Kansas had just finished losing to Michigan State, and Nebraska had just beaten Indiana. For the third successive conference game KU was supposed to come back the loser, for the third time she didn ' t. Student morale, exhuberant after the Oklahoma victory, was mild compared to demonstrations in Lincoln. Rallies at the Cornhusker Hotel and all over Lincoln were evidence that Kansas had arrived. Still, KU fans hoped only for a good game. KU had not licked Nebraska in twenty-two years. Nonetheless, we all were prepared to aid Kansas the only way we could school spirit. And when KU gridders took the field, they knew Kansans were behind them. Though Lincoln is a long way off, all Lawrence must have been in the stands judging from the Jayhawk cheers. From the very beginning, Kansas seemed determined, Nebraska lacka- dasical.

TEL. 666 kick-off, and, more than ever, when halfback Max Replogle recovered full- back Callihan ' s fumble on the Nebraska 17. Memories of 1936 defensive foot- ball were forgotten when Sullivant took around left end for three, and then caught Replogle ' s left-handed pass right over center on the Husker five. Kansas spectators, and Nebraskans, alike, sensed something was up, but it was like a dream when Douglass went crashing through All-American Shirey ' s tackle position for five full yards and a touchdown on the suc- ceeding play. Kansas 6 points! Would we make the kick? Doug ' s try was blocked. Nebraska came right back four minutes later when Brock fell on a KU fumble on the Jayhawker 25. Andrews faded back and passed to Callihan who was downed on the Kansas three. Howell went through the left side for the touchdown, and K U fans feared the game was over when they saw English, place-kicking guard who had not missed this year, enter the game. But the kick was not good! The first quarter had ended when Coach Biffer Jones who, after his vic- tories over Minnesota and Indiana, was practically a Colonel sent in his second team, a team which was sup- posed to be as good as the first. The Kan sas team took the ball on downs on their own eleven two minutes after the second quarter opened, and shortly later Replogle intercepted Phelps ' pass for a KU first down on Nebraska ' s 42. In two downs Replogle ripped off a first and ten, and in another try put the ball on the 16. Jones sent in his first team; but to no avail the Jay- hawkers were ripping gaping holes in the Husker line. There was no need for trick plays. Replogle ran to his left, faded, and found Divens in the end zone with a forward pass for the second touchdown. Doug made the extra point good! Kansas 13, mighty Nebraska-6! Here was a Kansas team that spec- tators had hoped would give Nebraska a battle. As the half closed, Kansans went mad. The Nebraska line that had yielded little to Minnesota and Indiana, gave way to a Jayhawker line that decidedly out-charged and out-fought them. Brock had just recently given his 160 THE JAYHAWKER BIG SIX CHAMPION EACH YEAR BIG SIX CHAMPION EVERY YEAR PHONE 1280 6TH MISS.

If he knew where KU plays were going he certainly didn ' t show it; or maybe it didn ' t matter, since blockers took him out anyway. Kansans were boisterous during the half, looked forward to ending up that way. Nebraska fans were gloomy a team that had whipped national stand- outs should take conference teams in a walk-away. Evidently they had over- looked the old saying, a team that won ' t be beaten, can ' t be beaten. And Kansas wouldn ' t be beaten. As the team emerged from the dressing room, a great cheer went up from the stands; it seemed as though there were as many Jayhawk rooters as Nebras- kans. Stud ents yelled themselves hoarse, enthusiastically looked for a great second half. And a great second half it was! Nebraska, somewhat cautious in the first, groped deep down in her bag of tricks for everything she had. The Pitt game was next week: it was Kansas today.

PHONE 631 this last stand Nebraska kept spectators waiting until they thought it would never come. Reverses, passes, trick plays everything Nebraska had. But Nebraska had proved in other games she was an opportunist. On fourth down, after the Jayhawkers had repulsed them time and again, Phelps went far back and shot a bullet pass to Dodd. Nebraska, first down and goal, on the Jayhawker nine yard line. Two plays at the line failed, and again Phelps went back; and this time it was a touchdown. There were only three minutes left, and Nebraska rooters rocked the stands with their sudden cheers. They, too, had thought that Nebraska was already beaten. The pause for the extra-point brought a hush in the stands. It was good! Nebraska had pulled another game out of the fire. Kansas stalled the remaining minutes when possible, held mighty Nebraska off until the final gun. KU had run up 1 3 first downs and 1 3 points against the team that ranked sixth in the nation the week before, had clearly played them off their feet for over fifty minutes. The whole team was outstanding. Chuck Warren outplayed Brock at center. Replogle continually dazzled fans with his triple threat antics. Doug- lass brought memories of Beach in his line backing. Masoner, at safety, saved several Husker scores and brought commendation for his signal-calling. Sophomore Rhule, substituting at tackle for the injured Bosilevac, ably filled the hole left by the latter ' sabsence. Yet how can any of them be singled out? There was no individual hero all were heroes. FRITZ CO. Student Headquarters for many years PHONE 4 Gas Tires Oil Service DECEMBER 1937 161 Kansas left Nebraska heading the Big-Six, remained there for another week, until a Kansas Aggie team that had yet to live up to its potentialities came down from Manhattan with the same spirit the Jayhawkers showed at Lincoln. Kansas was on the defensive throughout the game, as Cleveland ex- hibited the most perfect job of punting we ' ve seen. Kansas, when she had the ball, was deep in her own territory, and not once did she get a chance to show what she could do. Fans who were looking at the rejuvenated Jay- hawkers for the first time, left the game wondering how we could outfight Nebraska and yet lose to K-State. Blocking was not crisp and sure, as at Lincoln, and the offensive never got under way. But the 7-0 defeat was soon forgot- ten, as Adrian Lindsey and assistant coaches Mike Getto and Glenn Presnell made ready for a non-conference game with Arizona. Many of the players were down with colds, charley-horses, and minor in- juries. Douglass stayed at home with the flu. Kansas did not point for Arizona, as no one seemed to care Missouri was next. KU returned with a 9-7 defeat. Divens passed to Masoner for our only touchdown, and Masoner kicked the extra point. A homecoming crowd of 24,000 the largest in two years was on hand to watch the Jayhawkers make their final bid for the conference title against Missouri. Should Kansas de- feat Missouri and K State win from Nebraska on the following Saturday, MOLL ' S BAKERY Merry Xmas To K. U. Students 412 West Ninth KU would tie with Oklahoma for first place. But that was not to be. Kansas passed up two glorious op- portunities to score early in first half, when the Jayhawkers recovered the opening kick-off on the Tiger 36 and a fumbled Tiger punt a bit later. Neither team displayed much superi- ority in the first half though Kansas outgained Missouri, and at times showed she could go places. Jay- hawker drives, unfortunately, started in their own territory, but by the time they reached mid-field, bogged down. The game produced few thrills until late in the fourth quarter. Douglass, who played a whale of a game both offensively and defensively, almost undid his good work when he fumbled a low pass from center on the KU 10. Missouri recovered and drove to the five where Mondala tried a field goal that was wide. KU was offside on the kick and the five yard penalty put the ball on the two-foot line. Missouri rooters, however, soon quieted down; for Mondala ' s drive off the Jayhawker right tackle was stopped cold.

The same Phi Gam walked off with both the sack race and the beard contest; Denny Lemoine was queen of the awful looking mob. At night everyone rode around looking at house deco- rations, and marched in the parade, and rallied in the street, and danced at the Homecoming Varsity.

The Kappa octet did its habi- tually good stuff, Red Blackburn smiled genially as usual, and Mary Lattner twirled effectively with all available Sigma Chi ' s. The Acacia ' s, with their house pro- fusely decorated, tossed one the same night, entertaining the girls who other- wise might have stayed home while the Hill males stood up in the Union build- ing gawking at the Kappas. Saturday, October 23, an inspired Kansas football team entrained for Oklahoma, got the job done, and brought home a 6-3 victory over O. U. That night saw, besides that hysterical rally, the Miami Triad, seconding the bowery motif. At this whing-dinger got off by Betas, Phi Delts, and Sigma Chis in the Union ballroom, the cos- tumes were simply ripping, especially Lucille Bottom ' s, the bar was over- flowing with cider, and Louis Kuhn ' s orchestra was rigged out in fitting paraphernalia. Then another Friday and another party as the Phi Psi ' s decorated the Union for Autumn atmosphere and swung out. Lots of good Hill girls there, but almost as many out-of-town flames. Saturday, October 30, was another big day on the college calendar. Al- though Michigan State triumphed over the Kansas gridsters in East Lansing 16-0, the evening suffered no ill-effects. The Halloween Masque in the Union Building, the Sigma Nu pumpkin party and the D. U. parry offered enter- tainment in truckloads. On November 5, while football fans were on their way to a big game and bigger times in Lincoln, the Pi. K. A ' s unfolded a Twelfth Street party, pro- claimed one of the best decorated of the year, in the chapter house, as the Theta Tau ' s simultaneously romped in the Union Building. Saturday in Lincoln was unforget- table. All the activities could not be called social, but the enthusiasm of having practically beaten Nebraska inspired no end of fun. Most that happened really belongs in the gossip column, but let it suffice here to say- that a party ensued for the Corn- husker Hotel was just one big party. The Puff Pant prom on the night of Friday, November 12, proved little less than a screaming farce, as the women, some bedecked in masculine attire and some in their normal garb, showed the campus that females can get along together. Maxine Woody ' s tuxedo was convincing to the extent that a Kansas City paper printed the young lady ' s picture. While the femmes were rising in rebellion, the Delta Tau ' s hung out the CARTER ' S STATIONERY UNIVERSITY SUPPLIES Just Opposite Granada Theater 1025 MASSACHUSETTS TELEPHONE 1051 DECEMBER 1937 party sign at the Country Club. Judg- ing from the books of their party, they had no trouble competing with the aforementioned impersonators ' tangle. On Saturday, November 13, the cow college from Manhattan moved into Lawrence, snatched away a 7-0 victory from our worthy stalwarts. While some moved back to pastures made greener by the day ' s win, most evi- dently preferred to stay and feast on the fatted calf, flocking up to the Aggie Varsity that evening in such mobs that it took perseverence to find a K. U. girl to cut. Some spirits were quite high although others were less expensive but that ' s merely incidental. Forgetting the game, the Kappa Sigs, with Red Blackburn ' s music, tossed their cares to the four winds and whooped up a rollicking party in the chapter house. With Chuck Lueck on hand to help out Red oc- casionally, there was a lot of enter- tainment. Thursday, November 18, was the initial occurrence of an occasion that deserves concerted applause. An enter- prising group of independents, taking the sad state of affairs in their own hands, offered a free varsity in the Union Building for any and all un- organized who cared to come. The reception accorded this idea was gratifying with Big Apple and all and it is hoped that the future will produce many more dances under the auspices of the Independents. The first class party of the year, The Freshman Frolic, gained the limelight Friday night. While Floyd Ray and his syncopated swing turned out to be somewhat confusing to the huge crowd, most of the people were generally agreed that it was a good party. Never, we think, has there been a party with so many of the good girls there. Among others, vivacious Dorothy Fritz, roseate Betty Jean Sayles, and peppery little Miss Noel, all integral parts of a suc- cessful party, were there, as were several promising looking rushees from the surrounding terirtory. The healthful Arizona air beckoned the football team southbound on No- vember 20, but the hospitality mani- fested was a bit cold as the footballers lost a game to Arizona U. 9-7 after a bitterly contested struggle. Notwithstanding, the Gamma Phis, in the Union Building, and the Sigma Chis, in a brightly illuminated chapter house, played hosts to a selected few men and women, respectively. The Gamma Phi party included a pin merger in the bargain as Paul Trees and Jean Williams filed notice of their intentions to become a happily mated couple. And that ' s an impetus to any party. So on and on, far into the year, goes the endless round of parties and other must attend events. Thanksgiving may or may not offer a breathing spell as you see fit, but winter will produce no end of enjoyable synco- pation meetings in the near future, so get in training early.

Card Player: Power-house Patton, the gal who constantly wonders if she is playing her cards right, cer- tainly came through with the correct leads on one occasion not so long ago. It seems as though in a moment of weakness she accepted a date with a freshman (Bill Kirk) of one of the larger brotherhoods for dinner at the frat house. Now, although said fresh- man was too obviously in love with her, she had placed her affection on an upper -c lassman (Harry Linn) of the same lodge. So, thinking she would appease in some way the upper-class- man, she made a date with him for a lecture immediately following her aforementioned dinner date. On the surface this situation had all of the ear-marks of a potential brawl; but the masterful bee was so calm and col- lected despite innumerable titters at dinner, that she made the boys with the riled tempers feel rather childish.

The Chancellor is understood to have remarked that sometimes the Chi Omegas fed football players. I fail to see the connection, though, she said, puzzled. It is generally understod, is it not, replied the Chancellor, gingerly, that you run interference for your hus- band? But with the nation ' s first lady at the Eldridge, and all the organized houses overflowing, something had to happen something had to give way. It did. All students were sent home indefinitely until the investigation was completed. At that point, the Kansan began to see what was going on and ran a story about it as well as a very convincing editorial on the Chinese situation. The next day the Star had a lengthy story and within a week they found out the facts of the case.

In Kansas City you can get a swell room with bath for $1.75 at the HOTEL STATS events quickened at the university. Criticism of teachers grew rampant. Impatient to use their powers, this con- vention of highly trained educational critics considered anything from Baby- lonian humor to red ties or halitosis a valid excuse for the supreme penalty discharge. It was said that on a clear day one could even see from the A.T.O. house the numerous professors being discharged through the Administration building skylights helter-skelter. It was a sad state of affairs. Here the whole world was waiting breath- lessly for a real clean-up of the slum conditions at K.U. the breedingplace for wild-eyed radicals and deadly pro- paganda. And on the contrary, the in- vestigators had begun to quarrel among themselves: indeed, it was momentarily expected that some strong leader would launch a demand for dic- tatorial powers. Just in the nick of time, the First Lady stepped into the breach and saved the day. We are getting nowhere, she said pungently. We wouldn ' t even know Communism if we saw it!

It became apparent that they themselves must have an elementary knowledge of this unseen terror before they could hope to control it or stop it. Within a few days the remaining professors were thrown out and classes started under the direction of the no- torious Little Red Riding Hood, who had flown from New York to open the beginning classes. After funda- mentals were thoroughly learned, Red Grange was called in to con- tinue the teaching; and negotiations are now under way to secure Leon Trotsky himself for a special series of lectures. At first, enthusiasm was at a high pitch. But the writer, disguised in the Russian garb now so popular on the Hill, made a tour of inspection and privately interviewed several of the more prominent students. There seems to be a widespread feeling that the store back home needs attention. And there are evidences of a growing dis- content with the new college work characterized as dull and also full of holes. Noting the growth of this conviction and noting also the revival of bicker- ings and quarrels, this writer feels safe in saying that a few more months will find K.U. hard at work again, ac- complishing more than ever. It also seems certain, though considerable re- placements will have to be made, that the majority of the buildings on the campus will be found intact.

His name is Alpha Perry, and we think he has the stuff of which the- spians are made. Best scene of the show: the trial scene, by all odds, both because of the writing and acting. Most pleasing scene: the pantomine, A Kiss In Xanadu , which was lovely, but a trifle out of step with the general whang-dang of the show. Our compli- ments to the pantomimists for their charming work. After viewing a recent trucking contest, we had no idea that K. U. contained coeds who could be graceful. Best speech of the show : Mrs. Cady ' s line, after Neil has slaughtered her daughter Gladys with a scimitar: Now you ' ve done it. Most remarkable work of the show: that of Don Dixon and his stage hands, who did an extremely complicated and difficult job with only one slip-up, which was occasioned by a careless actor. Our verdict in a nutshell: the Kansas Players did a remarkably fine job with a show that is beyond the range of most amateur groups. ill! ill :tttt rrrr TOPEKA KANSAS One of the Finest Hotels in Kansas RATES FROM $2.00 FIREPROOF and MODERN The largest best appointed Lobby in the Midwest Student ' s Headquarters THE MOSBY HOTEL CO.

THE DEADLINE IS MARCH FIRST Fashion salutes the advent of spring with a riot of colors; daring, decisive, but delightful. Prominent as basic colors are black, beige, and the new bright navy. Beige with black forms a combination dis- tinctly 1938. Bright peacock blue is also good with black, especially for wear right now. Suits, too, may enter into the color wheel of spring; they are no longer restric- ted to background colors. Rasp- berry, thistle, gold, parisand, and yuan blue are popular for wear im- mediately under fur coats. Color schemes are based on the triad com- bination this season; the skirt is the darkest, topped by a jacket of a lighter hue and a top-coat in a tweed mixture of both colors. The third color may be introduced in the accessories and thus provide individuality in the costume. because she buys her clothes at Clothing, Rugs, Drapes, Furniture All receive expert care with us Phone leanei ' S Mtfchsntf ol SOOD RPPEMftlfCB HERE IT ISI - The new and distinctive K.

The silouhettes of this year are somewhat slimmer than those of last year. Last year ' s swing skirt ap- peared in voluminous form now we are returning to the pencil lines. The shirtwaist dress of last season appears this spring with variations, and is known as the little girl dress . Emery, Bird, Thayer ' s show this type of dress for afternoon and informal evening wear. Mexican prints are slated for a bright future; they are large and splashy combining colors in blue-greens, apple-butter brown, beige rose, and black. Other prints appear in novelty weaves and patterns consisting of unusual figures and interesting backgrounds. The flower prints are bigger and splashier than last year ' s. Subtle shades are used in preference to the franker hues; hence we have ma- genta for red; and peacock blue for turquoise. Roths- child ' s have a clever selection of wools in Stroock ankara cloth. These come in soft pastel shades and are trimmed with touches of suede in contrasting colors. Accessories occupy a prominent place as ad- ding a new color to the costume. Shoes for spring are colorful with patent leather, gaberdine, and reptile leading. For sports wear, the flats are ever popular; all afternoon shoes have cut out toes. Hose have assumed a brighter hue this season; some of the new shades are hottentot, moulin rouge, chipper, and glow. Hats are reminiscent of the gay nineties; chin straps, high crowns, and bonnets with flowers are in vogue. Pastel felts are good with tailored suits pre- ferably in a contrasting color. Small toques of fabric and jersey are good for dress occasions these are worn with long veils and streamers to the waist in back. Shiny straws are good in of-the-face styles as well as dashing sailors. The Spanish influence is prominent at present and is represented in the bolero jacket and wide sash worn over a plain black dress, as well as the wide brimmed shiny straw sombreros. FEBRUARY 1938 177 If you get discouraged when that perfect steak-fry weather back in early February, don ' t forget that Spring is officially in in the cloth- ing stores. In general, the new styles of the coming season only affirm every- thing the Jayhawker let you in on last fall. In suits, the three-button, single-breasted, English full-drape model that was the newest thing then is almost the only thing now. And an authentic touch is that vent in the tail of the coat. This style of English drape is beautifully il- lustrated by Sammy Sifers ' s favor- ite sport coat. Bi-swing and belted backs are still good, if the ma- terial is tweed, or an equally sporty cloth. Watch, this spring, for campus clothes in almost pastel shades. Mind you, we aren ' t predicting any pink suits, but in the field of strictly sport wear, flower-garden colors are beginning to creep in. Ober ' s bears us out in this, pre- dicting that green will lead all others. Already they are showing all kinds of sport things in all kinds of shades of green. And Gabardines, they say, will be equally as popular this year as last. Ober ' s is featuring a new Arrow collar that is a neat trick. It ' s called the R a d n o r very short and rounded, really a modification of the English tab, without the tabs, thank heaven. Of course, with considerable color on the sport horizon, the old problem of mixing coats, pants, and sweaters comes up again. This spring it looks like the gayer the better, and you can ' t go far wrong if you don ' t give it away by looking self-conscious. In view of this, it is rather sur- prising that all the new suitings are, as a whole, markedly darker Spring suits arrive. Hundreds will say so soon? Others will say so What? We don ' t expect all the men in town to be interested in Spring clothing so early. We know that the early bird al- ways feathers his nest . . . but we know a lot of late birds who do pretty well for them- selves too. If you ' d enjoy seeing the new garments now . . . we ' re ready. If you ' d rather wait . . . we ' re willing. No matter when you come, we promise you more excite- ment in styling and more hairpin turns in patterns than you ' ve ever seen in or out of a clothing mirror.

JAYHAWKERS X UP AT THE HOTEL ELDRIDGE Barber Shop than they usually are in the spring. Almost any of the new spring suits could be worn in the fall equally appropriately, and any of those pearl-gray gabardines that are still on the rack from last year stand out like a cue bail on the pool table. One of the early spring urges probably a hold-over from bare- foot days is to get out of winter shoes. One of K.U. ' s most char- acteristic peculiarities is its ten- dency to go into white bucks three months before they do anywhere else. So, in view of all this, a word about what ' s right. Shoe men say a good seventy-five per cent of all the new shoes will be brown-and- white, especially in sport lines. For college wear, black-and-whites are almost never seen. Technically they are quite correct for formal wear, but even then the collegian prefers white buck, which make up the remaining twenty-five per-cent of the shoe man ' s estimate. If you want to be a real gentle- man and buy a hat, remember the brims are wider even than they were last fall, and with welt edges for the most part. One universally favorite style of light hat can be had under any of three brand names. You can ' t miss it. So, for a general view, there ' s the how of it for 1938. By the next isue, when spring is really in the air, we ' ll have the latest on any new developments in spring and summer formal fashions, together with flashes on sport shirts, the eternal fad.

He clears off his desk, sharpens his pencil, and looks ab- sorbed. He whips out his little electric grill and brews a pot of coffee. With this, he sits down at his desk, screams for quiet, and promptly falls asleep. He has used exactly this method for years, and recommends it without reservation. One fellow gets drunk the night before his first final and remains drunk until the night after his last. Another sets the alarm at 4:30, for a good hard session of early-morning study , shatters the nerves of everyone in the house at that ungodly hour, and then decides there isn ' t time now , so goes back to sleep. The sleep lovers begin staying up all night, claim- ing it ' s the only way to make a grade. And the guy who has got only five or six hours of slumber a night all year begins going to bed early, claiming it ' s the only way to make a grade. And all this is pretty sensible at that, because if you ' re conscientious you either memorize 500 sig- nificant names and dates and then get a general discusison question, or else outline causes and results and get a question on the position of Marshall Ney ' s troops when the Prussians ad- vanced. That ' s how we feel, but we ' re willing to dicker. We ' ll drop the whole thing if the Administration will put 8:30 quizzes on the first day this semester. We ' re not really very worked up about it now, but when we first saw that last exam schedule we swore a solemn oath that we would write a red-hot denunci- ation of anyone who would put the 8:30 quizzes on the last day of exam week. We don ' t care if it is fair that way; we claim it puts a premium on laziness. The late sleeper across the hall who barely manages to make his daily 10:30 had been razzing us all semester about being a sucker to have such an early class. But we kept still, confident that our virtue would some day be able to claim its re- ward in the form of a long mid- semester vacation while the guy across the hall had to stay on and on to slave over his afternoon classes. For months we lived on that thought, cherished it, mulled it over in our minds. And then our reward turned out to be watch- ing the lazy loafer pack his bags and trip off to the City while we sat around polishing the seat of our pants for days, waiting for the exam in our measley two-hour 8:30 to roll around. And while we ' re about it, there are several other things about finals we don ' t like. One of them is buying quiz books. It ' s not the two-and-a-half cents, mind you, but it ' s the principle of the thing. Why, it ' s as bad as having to buy a ticket to sit in the electric chair, or tip- ping the hangman. It is the perfect prototype of Wimpy ' s immortal in- vitation, Come over to a duck din- ner you bring the ducks. Heaven knows, the exam is not our idea.

And so he says to Winter, Hail! and phooey. And if you want to find the bard before the first of June And even that may be too soon, Because previous to that time he is as useless as a battery of ninety-eight cent alarm clox You may look for him before a roaring fire, wrapped in simple but manly red flannels, three shirts, four sweaters, coat and overcoat, not to mention two pairs of pants and triple-ply sox, Meditating shiveringly on spring. Hi, Spring! 1 4 THE JAYHAWKER By GEORGE BOWLES OM of HM Most thrilling moments in the thrilling gome in recent years: Oklo- 49. Kansas 46. KANSAS court fans a short time ago were dissatisfied with the Jay- hawkers ' early season schedule. They felt it included no really big games, and too many small college teams. They came to early games, though some to satisfy their annual conviction that the Jayhawkers will repeat as con- ference winners, and others, more doubtful perhaps, to wonder how long the titles-won percentage can be increased. But all of them, en- thusiastic and skeptical, alike, searched for the answer to the same question will this year be No. 13? The thirteenth champion- ship in seventeen years of Missouri Valley and Big Six competition? Spectators, unnerved at the rag- gedness displayed by the Varsity against the Freshmen, left the game with wry grins at Freshmen cagers Miller and Engleman, who collected 15 points apiece. As games wore on, though, fans began to wonder more and more if old No. 1 3 would not be a pretty high stepping stone. The Jayhawk ma- chine did not click, and fans watched Dr. Allen continue to shuffle his lineup as never before. They saw a team that they felt was not quite up to usual par, one that tended to rely too much on all-Big Six veteran Fred Pralle and one Phoco by Lester Combs FEBRUARY 1938 185 that lacked a consistently high scorer in the front line. Yet, they felt, there was one redeeming feature in Jayhawk play Dr. Al- len had at his disposal an unusual number of good forwards, each with the ability to come through on different nights. For illustration they pointed to the work of George Golay against the Freshmen, Loren Florell and Lyman Corlis down at Ottawa, Nelson Sullivan and Don Ebling against Southwestern. They felt they could look forward to one or the other supplying the punch, along with Pralle, in future play. At the conclusion of non-con- ference games, those same fans who were disappointed in the schedule were forced to admit that the ten game schedule nine wins and one loss to Drake was bene- ficial in that it whipped the Jay- hawks into shape and added con- fidence and experience. They also concluded that: 1. The Big six is not as strong this year. 2. Kansas, though not as good as in seasons past, should fight it out with Nebraska for first place. But fans reckoned without Oklahoma ' s fire-engine basketball team that is in the habit of fast- breaking opponents all over the court. They came to our auditorium with that same habit, winning over the Jayhawkers in Lawrence for the first time in many years. Not favored and reported wor- ried over the outcome, the Sooners displayed a good brand of basket- ball. Their fast break never stopped, and after Ebling, Pralle, and Sullivan had built up a ten Coach Allen worrying excitedly from the bench point lead in the second half, they pulled the throttle wide open. McNatt and Walker, sophomore forwards, drove down for six points in about a minute and a half, and soon tied the score. The Jay- hawkers jumped into a four-point lead, but from then on it was all Oklahoma though Pralle wiped out a two-point deficit with a minute left. The final score, 49-46, revealed to fans that the Jayhawker defense was the thing needing im- provement. No. 13, more elusive than ever, will have to be caught the hard way. The Jayhawkers jumped right back into the conference running with successive victories over Kansas State, Iowa State, and Mis- souri. Golay led the scorers at Man- hattan and turned in his best game. Pralle led the team with eleven points against the Cyclones, when the Jayhawkers exhibited a marked improvement on defense, holding their opponents to four field goals. At Columbia the team clicked, with nearly every one of the players showing some good basketball. At this writing, Oklahoma leads the conference with three defeats and no losses, with Kansas second with three and one and Nebraska two and one.

Oread preceding the holiday vacation, in spite of the fact that the Lawrence merchants had been trying to create it with several miles of evergreen decorations and attractive shop windows. But one Sunday when there remained only nine shopping days until Christ- mas, the School of Fine Arts pre- sented the fifteenth annual Christ- mas Vespers. Then not only the people of Lawrence experienced an awakening, but those living in sur- rounding towns as well. Many even braved the cold and sleet to drive from Topeka or Kansas City that they might attend. To handle the crowds, it was necessary to give two performances, one at four in the afternoon and another at seven- thirty in the evening. While the audience was arriv- ing, Christmas carols were played from an outdoor balcony above the entrance to the auditorium by a brass quartet which included Louis Maser, Leo Horacek, James Van Dyke, and Rex Conner. The program opened with Lau- rel Everette Anderson at the organ playing Sur des Noels (Gigout) , while Whitfield Anderson and Dolph Simons, Jr., lighted the candles in the two huge candelabra adorning each side of the stage. Following the candle-lighting, a string ensemble composed of Waldemar Geltch, Arthur Fielder, Raymond Stuhl, and Mervyn Anderson, played Ave Maria ( Bach-Gounod ) . Scarcely had the strains of Ave Maria died away, when the doors at the north end of the auditorium opened and the University Vesper choir, each of its one hundred members robed in white and carrying lighted tapers, swayed slowly down the aisle as they sang Come All Ye Faithful. After the (Continued on page 236) THE JAYHAVCKER YOUR correspondent had feared that, after viewing the re- cent Dramatic Club production of Elizabeth the Queen , he would have to go home and write in his private notebook the following not-too-cryptic sentiment: Eliza- bethan costumes stuffed with 1937 co-eds and co-edies muttering good blank verse in bad Kansas twang. He now apologizes even for the thought. Costumes, together with very, very grand stage settings, made up a good fifty per cent of the ef- fectiveness of Elizabeth . Bur there was also acting. And how acting does help a play! Our original apprehension was human enough, we think, because, after all, Elizabeth the Queen is extremely difficult material for any little theater group, either from the standpoint of the actor or the di- rector. The playing either of Elizabeth or of her lover, Essex, would be a challenge to a veteran trouper. Even now, having seen the K.U. production twice, we can scarcely believe that any col- Top to bottom: Schreiber as an inflamed Elizabeth; the Master Electrician, little seen but vital to any ploy; Laffer acting the fool; Nelson as an inflamed Essex. Fac- ing page: Nelson as an uninflamed Essex, backstage. A MARTIN MALONEY REVIEW lege club could turn out such an excellent and finished job. The play deals, of course, with the unfortunate love of Elizabeth for the young Earl of Essex. Essex, ambitious, proud, is tricked into a fatal expedition to Ireland by the villains of the piece, Cecil and Sir Walter Raleigh. The expedition fails, the villains manage to pro- mote a mutual suspicion on. the part of the lovers, and Essex re- turns to England under arms. He takes the queen ' s palace, then re- leases her when she promises to marry him. She immediately has FEBRUARY 1938 189 him sentenced to death, hoping desperately that he will beg her to forgive him. He does not. Finally she calls him to her, offers him his life. He refuses because, as he says, if he were free he would play the old game for the throne again and win. So Essex dies; and Eliza- beth, an old woman, goes wearily about the business of managing her kingdom. Such dramatic fodder is strange to the intellectual palates of K.U. undergraduates. It is precisely the same sort of thing that they razz audibly on Saturday nights at the local cinema. It is, believe us! a tribute to the Dramatic Club actors that some such calamity did not occur in Fraser Theater. None did. Instead, the audience received this very heavy tragedy which verges strongly on melodrama at times with positive enthusiasm. The actors, thank heaven! in ac- cordance with a very recent custom on the Hill, were given repeated curtain calls. They deserved them. Miss Maribeth Schreiber was Elizabeth the Queen. Yes, we said was not played . Miss Schreiber ' s performance has been adequately and favorably com- mented upon elsewhere. We will content ourselves with saying that any amateur actress who can ap- proach genuinely fine acting as often as Miss Schreiber did, and sustain the impression of good act- ing as long, deserves high praise among the ladies and gentlemen behind the greasepaint. Jack Nelson, who played the Earl of Essex, had an almost equally difficult part. He did extremely good work as that swaggering, proud gentleman-ad- (Contmued on page 237 1 I ' ll. mi by Art Wolf. Write-up by Richard MacCann SHE was rather tired of pianoplaying and so she took up dramatics. And that was that. It was in a girls ' school in Denver and she had been intending to become a nurse. But now look. A heart-searing suicide in Bury the Dead, a straightforward Valentine in Land ' s End, these were both Maribeth Schreiber ' s, as well as many characterizations in radio plays, last year and this. And the recent production, Elizabeth the Queen, brought forth a powerful, yet volatile, character-portrait that has been the subject of much wondering comment. She has turned all her efforts and talent in the direction of the stage: has her eye on a teacher ' s certificate; hopes to learn grueling fundamentals with a stock company this summer. Enjoys dra- matics thoroughly, also recommends it as very, very good for you. Is president of the National Collegiate Players at K. U., likes poetry and fencing, also fresh shrimp and people who do things on the spur of the moment. Remembers with a shudder a terrible fifteen-minute period in her high school career spent standing in the corner. Would like to play Elizabeth again sometime, because I already know so many ways my pan could have been improved. FEBRUARY 1938 191 n n u U Fourth row: Hildreth.

Cady Discovers World ' s Helium Supply Before coming from Oberlin, Kansas, to study at K.U. Professor Cady had experimented in his improvised chemistry lab, so that he was al- lowed to go directly into quantitative analysis and organic chemistry his first semester here. But this makes no less remarkable his discovery, in collaboration with David McForlond, the world ' s supply of Helium. And in his K.

Guild Leads New Step in Legislation Either chance or destiny did a good job of planning Dr. Guild ' s career. He is director of the research department of the Kansas Legis- lative Council, a leader in this marked advance in legislation begun in Kansas five years ago and already being copied throughout the country. Began graduate work in the Legislative Bureaus of nine legislative sessions in three states. Is now consultant for the new Illinois Legislative Council. Today the nation recognizes Dr. Guild as an outstanding authority in state legislation.

Became a Phi Beta Kappa after taking grade school, high school and college in nine years. Taught Latin and German and attended five different universities. His outstanding book which won him prestige as a scientist is a highly technical discussion of the development of special senses in mammals. He was the first President of the Oklahoma Academy of Science. Specialty is Vertibrate Paleontology. His far-sightedness is a decided aid to Dr. Lane when fossil hunting.

For thus do the engineers honor their patron Saint Patrick, by the wearing of the green. At one time, definitely marked as engineers by their slovenly dress and manners, the engine boys are now reported as gone sissy. Gone are the dirty leather jackets and cordurouys. While the new edition of the engineer is a slicker boy, the Mar- vin Hall legion is still determined to keep the traditional engineer- lawyer rivalry from lagging. For- merly the engine boys vented energy by splashing green paint on the Law Building ' s statue of Uncle Jimmy Green. But on this practice the student governing association has put its foot down, seriously threatening severe penalties. But even if they do succeed in keeping Uncle Jimmy and his stooge clean, war between the two schools- will continue and so will the heckling. Characteristic of the engineers is their attitude toward college edu- cation. A D.U. freshman tells of asking an engineering adviser if he could arrange to take an engine- ering course the easy way, in four and one-half years and take some college courses the last semester. You could, growled the adviser and peered over his glasses, but what in the world would anyone want to take in college? The life of the slide rule boys is a notorious drudgery. Battling with 18 to 20 hours plus tedious laboratory schedules, the average engineer has little time to cavort as a socialite. Long, painstaking technical reports keep the engi- neers study lamps burning long into the night. Governing the slide rule demons is a council of fourteen who represent each of the six de- partments and the four classes in the school. The other four mem- bers are the officers. All members are elected in departmental and class elections which are surpris- ingly free from the sordid finger of campus politics. Duties of the council are mani- fold. Early in the fall the council sponsors a mixer . The Hobnail Hop is the big social event for the engineers. The queen of the engi- neers is elected to reign at this dance, which is supervised by the council. Another project of the council is the engineering book exchange by which books may be obtained at cheaper prices. One of the important projects of the engine school is its Exposition and Field Day on the date of the Kansas Relays. Rendering valu- able publicity to the school, the exposition includes hundreds of high school students. The depart- ments vying for superiority against one another compete in swimming, baseball, tug-o-war, and other games in a great field day. Following the field day is the engineering banquet, where again the different departments are set apart from each other so they may continue with their everlast- (Continued on page 239) U uM, o-jf ui iJz and tkeisi (MUSI esd a-cuvuculasi ac- don ' t leave mi tcn time By CHARLES FISHER and TOM BOWLUS with JACKSON DEAN - THE JAYHAWKER ForfA roi : Robooo.

To the engineering student, the magazine presents both the largest popular and technical advances in the field as a whole and also the activities on our home campus. In the field of campus publications, it is outstanding in its make-up, freshness, special features, and punctuality. ' U: YOU - Gotdoa - SM. Fir,, rou, Prof. Jone,. FEBRUARY 1938 203 1 ] Not court packing was Governor Walter Hux- man ' s appointment of two new members to the Board of Regents last summer, for perfectly legitimate was the naming of E. F. Becker of Colby and J. L. Bradley of Wellington to succeed Oscar Stauffer of Arkansas City and Dave Ferguson of Colby whose four year terms expired. To eliminate charges of partiality, no member of the Board, to whom is en- trusted the task of running the University and the other state schools, is from a district near a state col- lege. Theirs is the unremunerative and thankless job of supervising the University, stretching meager ap- propriations, ferreting out Communists. Little heard or seen, each of the nine members of the Board is deserving of more thanks for their behind the scenes work than the average student ever gives. 1. Graduated from the University School of Law in 1912, John L. Bradley, other new member, has since practiced law in his home town, Wel- lington, from where he often drives up to attend University athletic contests. 2. Famed as a surgeon and head of a Winfield clinic, Dr. H. L. Snyder, a University alumnus, was elected Win- field ' s first mayor under the city man- ager form of government. 3. State-wide recognition gained as publisher of The Miami County Re- publican in Paola once earned for Drew McLaughlin the presidency of the Kansas Press Association. 4- One of the original Board which he has chairmaned since 1930, Charles M. Harger is publisher of an Abilene newspaper. Experience gained as principal of the Hope, Kansas, schools and as head of the University journal- ism department make him eminently qualified for his important post. 5. Thoroughly fitted for service on the Board by several years of ex- perience as one of the trustees of the College of Emporia, Sam R. Edwards is a Blue Rapids stockman. 6. After attending several Kansas schools, the World War school of hard knocks, and graduating from the Wichita Business College, Lester McCoy settled down to running an automobile agency in Garden City. 8 7. Besides having served both as president of the K.U. Alumni As- sociation and as state senator, Fred M. Harris, Sr., Ottawa lawyer, headed the committee that investigated the state bond scandal of not so long ago. 8. Cited for gallantry in action while a captain in the World War, Ralph T. O ' Neill, Topeka lawyer, has since served as National Commander of the American Legion. 9. World War veteran, former Gove County attorney, and in second term as mayor of Colby is E. F. Becker, one of the two new members. Son John is a junior in the University. 204 THE J A Y H A K T. R Gativetttiou, at the It wasn ' t till the other day that we discovered we had been going the wrong place all these years when the whistle blew twice on convocation days. For years we have plodded mechanically to the Audi- torium, but the other day we found out the convo- cation is really someplace else. At 10:30 we joined up in Center Ad with a train of students moving in a body toward the Union building. All the way over we were jostled by the crowds hurrying the same direction. When we arrived at the fountain, we had to wait to even get in the door; finding a seat was out of the question. Through the haze of smoke we saw more friends than we ' ve seen since the first Cottage jam-session. And then it suddenly occurred to us that the administration goes at this thing all wrong. If they ' d just bring the convocation speaker down to the Union fountain, he would have a swell crowd. ftew. It ' s certainly going to be dull when we all get out in the cold world of reality and have to stick to one language. Here on the Hill, the language varies from year to year. The newest idiocy is that brightly in- quiring, silly up-rurn to the last of every question, regardless of its appropriateness. It grew out of last year ' s crack, Who do you think you are anyhow? But this year the ones that are driving us crazy are: (a) What do ya hear from the folks? (b) Where you going all dressed up? (c) What do you want to eat? (d) Why you leaving college (e) What do you do for a stiff neck? Heaven only knows what will be next. But worse than this varying of language from year to year is the varying from house to house. Every fraternity and sorority has its own way of talking. Over at the D.U. house, the visitor feels a bit bewildered, for they talk only in last syllables there. I ' m headed for the Shun Ding, one will say, meaning the Administra- shun Buil-ding. D.U. moochers say, Gimme a ret, instead of, Gimme a cigarette. After dinner one will shout to another, Let ' s go to the ment and bat a little pong. Of course the Pi Phi ' s can be picked out anywhere by their, Honestly! or, It ' s just nauseating, or, I ' m simply whipped! And the Phi Gams go the opposite extreme from the D.U. ' s and use only first syllables. They talk about Cleaning the tabe, or, Coin ' to the fount for a sesh, or Coin to Wich for the vake. Pretty soon we ' ll need interpreters when we want to speak to one another. ] ' -B l ULwa We remember way back in our college career when we took good, solid, worth-while courses like Rheto- ric, and French, and Economics, and Entomology. They gave us a real education. But unfortunately, they were freshman-sophomore subjects, for the most part; and now we find ourselves with our freshman- sophomore quota all filled up. It ' s time to go on to higher learning, to junior-senior subjects By God whether we want ' em or not. Martyrs to this system of Higher Education are the ten forlorn boys in Standards of Living and Family Finance, over in the Home EC. Department. They ' d like to be taking Ger- man or Geology. But, no. They are sentenced to fill out their college course with Head and Neck (see catalogue) or Evolution of Culture or Normal and Delinquent Child. On a clear enrollment day one can see Seniors by the hundreds thumbing through cata- logues and schedules, seeking courses, any courses, numbered high enough. We found one the other day: Glass Blowing. The more I think of it the more it appeals to me. Think how handy (Continued on page 23)) Still trying to show what can be done with a K.U. coed, a camera, and on idea we present Modern Camera Study 3. Art Wolf is the photographer. Considering tact that it was taken by a student who had never done a portrait before, with a news camera that was never meant for portraits, using borrowed Fraser-Theoter spot-lights, we think this is just slightly amazing. It was a scream to watch four boys fussing around like old maids for two whole afternoons to get mis one picture, pulling the dress this w y d ' hat, wielding powder puffs, and Shakespeare to create a mood.

Alone, forgotten by everyone, you will die, growled the villain. And then he laughed a long, low, mocking laugh that faded till it was inaudible. Then the announcer said cheerily that this program would be presented the next week at the same time, and that this was KFKU, at the University of Kansas. This is new. And it is also sig- nificant. KFKU is a part of the Extension Department, its primary function being promoting the uni- versity through publicity. Until the last year or two this has been its only purpose, but today it has taken its place as a part of the edu- cation of the university itself, with student-presented plays. Slowly, it has been realized that cello solos and seminar papers were missing the point of the school. Radio has taken its place in America as a mode of entertainment, not of edu- cation. And now, with mystery plays and dramatized news broad- casts, KFKU is taking its proper place in the new order. Soon after Rolla Nuckles, director of the new plays, and Dorothy Fritz, his as- sistant, presented their first bits last fall, letters from Kansas City and St. Louis, from Denver, and Des Moines, and Tulsa indicated a new and wider range of listeners. Every Monday evening at 6 o ' clock KFKU goes on the air with a new play. An exception to this occured last fall when during the middle of a mystery play called Crossroads, the transmitter broke down cutting the players off the air. But quite unconscious of this, they continued on to the end, their only listeners being themselves. This years staff is taking a course called Radio Speaking taught by Mr. Nuckles. Last fall only twenty were permitted to enroll but it wasn ' t long till seven more seeped in. And demand for the course is constantly growing, indicating a new interest on the part of stu- dents and promising an abundance of talent for future developments. KFKU has its own studio, con- trol room and other necessary equipment in the Engineering Laboratory building. Adjacent to the studio is the class-room equip- ped with a loud speaker so that the class may hear and criticize the programs. WREN furnishes the power. Other stations throughout the state, such as WIBW, may pick up one of the programs and re- broadcast it. Since these other stations also control the volume, a special effort must be maintained not to speak too loudly in the microphone or the volume will be turned down and the next speaker talking in a normal tone will be inaudible. If a raised voice is necessary during the course of a play he or she must turn away from the microphone which will keep the volume con- stant and still retain the desired effect. A typical scene during one of the mystery plays might reveal one of the members rattling cellophane by the microphone which produces FEBRUARY 1938 207 a sound like the crackling of flame. Another member may be brushing sand over paper which over the air sounds like a wave. Only two locally invented sound effects failed completely. The sound of dripping water was necessary in one play so a bucket of water was script with two minutes to go is quite common. Mr. Nuckles has invented two signals: twirling his index finger means to speed up; slowly crossing his hands means to slow down. Unforgettable was the day Ted North finished a children ' s program with forty-five seconds to program must be given with the idea that the audience is split into many little groups of three or four in their homes. A conversational, soft and friendly style is best. If it is radical, harsh or strong a natural resentment is the response of this separated audience for they An actual shot of a dramatic moment in a Martin Maloney News Dramatization brought next to the microphone and water was allowed to drip into it. Over the air it sounded like the blows of a sledge hammer. And once when chains were rattled at the climax of a prison play it sounded like Christmas sleigh bells to the radio audience. One of the biggest problems of the group is watching the time and adjusting their script to it. To at- tempt to read three minutes of go. With ridiculous seriousness he added this little moral lesson, ad lib: If all you children listen and obey your parents you will grow up like these big foxes I told you about, but you must eat your Wheaties. A basic tenet of Mr. Nuckles is this idea: Talking over the radio must be done in a different style than talking to an assembled group of people from a stage; The radio feel that they don ' t have to take that in their own homes. Equally as popular and signifi- cant as the plays is Martin Ma- loney ' s program, Highlighting the News. The Extension Department ' s Program Director, Mr. Harold Ingham, and his assistant, Miss Mildred Seaman, have final juris- diction in all matters of policy, (Continued on page 237) I II Tfco is Ben Pollock, who once hod Benny Goodman and the Dorsoy n in his band, who has been titled, ' The Father of Modern Swing, wfco delighted the K.U. crowd with his geniality, who said, on leaving the HI, To. know, I got o kick out of playing for those kids; they really appreciated us.

Some thought it was a publicity stunt by dance-manager Paul Kihm or Union-manager Jack Townsend, but Kihm and Townsend knew all too well it wasn ' t. For a while it looked as if both bands would play. At nine o ' clock on the scheduled night Pollack was swinging out as an- nounced, and Simmonds was sulking in the Union lounge. At present writing the validity of Arlie ' s contract is still disputed, but the success of Ben is unquestioned. PkotM.

This fellow, not content with a girl on each side, is talking to a th They relaxed at other times too, over cigarettes, just outside either of the ballroom doors, thus able to chat a moment without danger being cut.

As a part of the marked change to a new and more refreshing college spirit that has characterized the school year thus far, the social events have been, we think, a particularly mad whirl. Each year, each organi- zation is obliged to out do the pre- vious year ' s efforts. It is no wonder that decorations and preparations become more elaborate all the time. The night of Friday, December 3, found the Union Ballroom filled with a colorful array of military uniforms offsetting fragile formals as the ROTC and dates held their ball. This is the night that the less military of the Hill men always threaten to get a uniform by hook or crook and crash the party, but never do. The traditional stiffness and austerity of the soldiery was completely missing as everyone swung out in the best Joe College style, let medals fall where they may. The A.D.Pi ' s also entered into the spirit of things as the winter party season continued. It was a Photo, br Bob Hoffman Reviving an old tradition, the Phi Gams and Phi Psis I above I, swung out with their Jeffersonion Duad this year. The receiving line and smooth dancing in the first three pictures below is at the Pi Phi Toyland party the Big Apple, at the Gamma Phi affair sparkling gang of funsters that gathered behind the stately white columns of the house to enter into the evening ' s festivities. The fourth of December saw a minor riot in the Union ballroom as the Kappa girls escorted selec- ted dates and all the other males within calling distance to their swing school. Of -course the pledges were beaming particularly radi- antly at their first big fling-ding. I mean, not just Jones, who is al- ways that way anyway, but the others too. Incidentally, for pure, out-and-out beauty, give me this lodge. Louie Kuhn provided the music, with Eddie Singleton doing the trucking and the crooning, to polish off the evening. On the fraternity side, the Delta Chi ' s were beating out a wicked one in the chapter house the same night. Anthony Onofrio and Jack Carlson were the sar- torially splendid as usual, while Newt Hoverstock and Ann Rey- nolds were completely engrossed in each other, oblivious of every- thing else, also as usual. Friday, December 10 was a con- tinuation of the same story as the merry whirl shifted to the A.O.Pi house. And the same night, the Pi Phi ' s held their mid-winter jam- boree in the Union Building. The pledges threw the thing and sur- prised the actives with an ex- tremely elaborately decorated Toy- land theme, with Red Blackburn and his boys all dressed up as toy soldiers in the university band uni- forms. The combination of just blue lights in the end rooms and the veils which were all over the place made all the girls very, very glamorous indeed, if you could see them. Beautiful, beautiful clothes everywhere, with Jane Coats pitch- ing the dancing in a high key with truckin ' , peckin ' , Suzy-Q ' in ' and all the rest of her repertoire. The last varsity of the year, under Paul Kihm ' s management, was unexpectedly good, in spite of the fact that a good many were partied out and in no mood to spend their six bits. But vigor and vitality were still overflowing with the irrepressible D. J. Willcuts all but kicking the old year out the back door and the flnminc Doc Day shaking his agile leg. Simultaneously, Delta Upsilon beat it out way over in West Hills. These boys have recently adopted the plan of inviting a selected group of stags, from assorted fra- ternities, to each party, just to get them acquainted with how a party can really be thrown. Not only do the stags become the bosom pals of the D.U.

We don ' t like to dwell on personalities, but we might mention in passing that Kenneth Rockhill was the pace- setter of the evening. The last day of school, Decem- ber 17, Alpha Tau Omega and Sig Alph gave everyone a chance to get really good and tired before going home. The A.T.O. ' s took over the Union Building, while the Sig Alphs served their meal at the Eldridge and followed it up with a dance at the chapter house, Red Blackburn wielding the baton. Long and lanky Leeves had his Pi Phi flame in tow, trying to out- dazzle the other boys but having a hard time of it.

FEBRUARY 1938 I EADING the race for the |_ sweepstakes championship i s Corbin Hall with Pi Beta Phi and Kappa Kappa Gamma close be- hind in second and third places respectively. Winner of the basketball crown, most coveted prize of the winter season, will be either Corbin or Kappa Kappa Gamma. Corbin, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Pi Beta Phi, and I.W.W. won their di- visions, and in the semi-finals battled it out before large crowds amidst much cheering and no little excitement. Among the more outstanding players are: D. J. Willcuts, Alpha Delta Pi; Deneise Lemoine, Pi Beta Phi; Margaret Van Cleave, I.W. W.; Lenore Grizzell, Corbin; Helen Geis and Jane Irwin, Kappa Kappa Gamma; and Gerry Ulm, T.N.T. Each stands a good chance of receiving the highest honor in women ' s intramural basketball that of being placed on her class all-star team. By defeating Pi Beta Phi, Cor- bin annexed the ping pong doubles championship after the two along with Kappa Kappa Gamma won their division championships. Be- fore meeting a two-out-of-three defeat from the paddles of Corbin Hall, Pi Beta Phi won from Kappa Kappa Gamma by the same mar- gin. Noteworthy combinations were: Hagen and Stafford, Dur- bin and Lippy, Spiegel and Barack- man, and Erskine and Stafford, all of Corbin Hall; Luther and Haynes, Sloan and Lemoine, and Thompson and Ehrke of Pi Beta Phi; and Lynch and Simpson, Ir- win and Little, and Geis and John- son of Kappa Kappa Gamma. Schedule for the quarter-final round in darts pits against each other Lemoine and Wisler, Hurd and Erskine, Baker and Irwin, and Willcuts and Van Cleave. From predictions based on last year ' s re- sults and the ability displayed in this year ' s play thus far, it is prob- able that in the finals Lemoine will play either Willcuts or Van Cleave. Most popular event in the women ' s program is the swimming meet which will be held in the near future. Defending champions for two years, Pi Beta Phi will suffer keenly from the loss of their star, Rachel Kiene.

New fields to conquer were what Beta Queen McFarland was looking for in Salina over the Christmas holidays. She had met Wert Salterhouse, Beta at Nebraska, and saw no reason why she should confine her Beta-slaying to K.U. So, knowing that Wert and Harry Lewis as well would be in Salina, she inveigled an invitation from Jean Wyatt, Kappa. The only trouble now is a difference of opinion as to the success of the invasion. Our nomination for the best rib-tickler of the year is also about McFarland. When Marian Anderson was here, a colored table-waiter at the Pi Phi house asked Betty Lou if he could borrow her activity ticket. It seemed that his girl was coming up from Kansas City and he thought Betty Lou looked so much like her.

We won ' t vouch for any of this one, but it ' s kind of funny, if true. And on top of that, it ' s a story on someone besides students for a change. As it was told to us, Doc Allen ' s daughter got married and had a couple of children. Then there was a mis- understanding between her and her husband, and a divorce followed. Happily, however, everything was patched up and the two young people remarried. So it was that the two kids came up to their teacher one day and said they wanted to be excused the next day.

Election to member- ship in this society is recognized as the highest honor that a junior man may receive. The new group is elected at the close of each school year by the retiring members from the men who will become juniors at the beginning of the next school year. Qualifications for election are based on outstanding leadership, scholarship, and strength of character. The organi- zation holds as its purpose the plan to originate and carry through movements in the bes t interests of the junior class, and to create a feeling of fellowship among the students of the University. The Owl Society was founded at the University of Kansas in February, 1914, and its members have always taken an active part in University life.

The School of Business is Kansas University ' s most precocious baby, having grown more rapidly than any other division. Since it was established in the fall of 1924. its enrollment has increased from 51 to 342. On the commencement program in the spring of 1925, the names of seven Business School graduates were listed; this spring there will be 1 10. Next year there will be 150. Inside the School of Business, the department of economics is the only teaching department carried on its budget. But the enrollment for this one department this year is over 16,000 credit hours, or one- ninth of the total teaching load of the university. Within a year after its establish- ment, the K.U. School of Business was admitted to membership in the American Association of Collegi- ate Schools of Business a record unique among American universi- ties. And in the spring of 1926, the school was granted a charter of Beta Gamma Sigma, an honorary society for collegiate business schools. The present dean, Frank T. Stockton, is now serving as Grand Vice-President of the society. Placement being particularly important to the School of Busi- ness, it is proud of an exception- ally strong record. Its graduates are now employed by every con- ceivable kind of business from one end of the country to the other. In general, it is universally recog- nized that a graduate of the K.U. School of Business rates favorably in comparison with graduates of simi- lar divisions in other universities. Members of the teaching staff of the K.U. school of business are well known throughout the country for their publications. Outstanding books and articles have appeared in the fields of natural resources, pub- lic finance, organized labor, bank- ing, business law, marketing, and budgeting. For special honors due two men of the school John Ise and Jens P. Jensen see pages 192 and 193. And the men of the Business School have been of special service to the state of Kansas. Professor Jens P. Jensen has done research in taxation for the Kansas Legis- lative Council, the State Chamber (Continued on page 236) W FEBRUARY 1938 223 m ie tnan tluztwed MA, called, fr i le- them they, kad keen elected. Write-ups by MARIANNA BANTLEON Don Ebling ' s time is taken up mostly by athletics. Says that ' s why he has never learned about women. Although President of the class and a strong P.S.G.L., Don has no national party prejudices; he talks, like any good politician, of choosing the best man. Following a remarkable record in basketball and football at Lindsborg High, he is rapidly making the same kind on the Hill. Joyce Vetter, Vice- President, is mainly musical. Like most Fine Arts students, spends a lot of time running around appreciating concerts and such. But is especially distinguished by being a Mu Phi Epsilon, honorary musical sorority, and being in the Westminister Choir. She is a Kappa Alpha Theta from Lawrence. John Oakson comes to K.U. by way of Atchison and Kansas City, Kansas. The Treasurer of the class, he is a Pachacamac and a Republican. Poli- tics is right down his alley as he is spending his spare moments these days trying to decide whether to be a lawyer, or a political science major, or both. Marie Norton, a Sigma Kappa from Kansas City, Missouri, is the Secretary. Though pretty, becomes enthusiastic over dogs more easily than over men. Her main reform at K.U. would be to guillotine all teachers who insist on keeping classes after the whistle has blown. Don Burnett admits being Dance Manager, but emphatically denies hav- ing anything to do with that mix-up of bands at the Hop. Is a Sig Ep and lives in town. Roy Fike was elected his partner, but is not in school this year. THE JAY HAWKER complicated, Iwt the aam b ate By BILL FARMER and TOM YOE Apparently either because he is tired of studying or bored with loafing, the K.U. young man is turning to intramurals for relief. Popularity of intramurals has grown to the extent that one- seventh of the student body par- ticipates in at least one of the eleven sports offered. Following touch football ' s dis- appearance from the scene with Phi Gamma Delta taking top honors, the most popular of all intramural sports, basketball, filled the picture. Handling the horde of those desirous of dashing up and down the court is no easy matter. To facilitate the matter, Men ' s Intra- murals Director Ed Elbel promptly created three A divisions and two B . When December rolled around, sixty-three teams liked the game well enough to enter. Forty squads, recruited from social and profes- sional fraternities and Indepen- dents, were clapped into the A divisions. The remainder, consist- ing of second and third teams re- presenting fraternities, was classi- fied as B . Fact that there were some ex- ceptionally strong teams was at- tested the first day of play when two Independent teams ran up large scores. The Hexagons tallied 85 points with Ralph Austin tak- ing high scoring honors for the year thus far with 39. The Gal- loping Ghosts eked out a 78 to 1 5 victory over their first opponent. To date eight A teams re- main undefeated. In Division I they are Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Beta Theta Pi, and Kappa Sigma; in Division II, the Westminister and Jaybirds; i n Division III, Alpha Kappa Psi, Galloping Ghosts, and Hexagons. Precarious indeed would be the position of any prophet who climbed out on the limb so far as to predict the champion. But it appears that the winner will emerge from the group composed of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Beta Theta Pi, Alpha Kappa Psi, Gal- loping Ghosts, and Hexagons. By virtue of their being the defending champions and their smooth play this year, Sigma Alpha Epsilon is the favorite. Augmenting the fine pl ay dis- played at times and adding color when it becomes listless are the flashy uniforms that have blos- somed forth. The Galloping Ghosts with their gold uppers and blue shorts with names in blue . . . the Phi Psi ' s in crimson with name and numbers in green . . . the Kappa Sig ' s in white and crimson ... the Sig Alph ' s in yellow with name and numbers in blue ... all testify to the increasing interest in intramural basketball. Delays caused by finals and en- rolling mean that the elimination tournament among division leaders will not get underway until late in the spring, but in the meantime teams are rapidly improving. Not the only winter sport is basketball. Volleyball takes a small share of the spotlight. Seven- teen teams divided between two di- I Continued on page 242) FEBRUARY 1938 225 Photo by Art Wolf.

Looking backward, the present Sour Owl editor has been elected to Sachem, Owl Society, and Sigma Delta Chi; edited the Jayhawker last year; and has been at various times a member of the K.U. symphony, the band, the Dean ' s Honor Roll, and Louie Kuhn ' s orchestra. He ' s now spending a lot of time producing a musical comedy. Music is his hobby goes to jam sessions for relaxation. Way back in Atchison high school he worked in a dance orchestra, dashing around meantime, working in dramatics, editing the paper, and directing the Stu- dent Council.

By JOHN BONDESON VESTED with the distinction of being topnotchers in scholastic ability, some forty students attend- ing the University of Kansas are known as Summerfield Scholars. Attending the University by the grace of one Solon E. Summerfield, New York silk hosiery manu- facturer, these students are con- sidered the cream of the crop, and are chosen each year in regional scholastic examinations, from a group of almost three hundred Kansas high school seniors who yearly hope to gain the distinction o f becoming a Summerfield Scholar in the State University. The number finally chosen is usually about a dozen, with pos- sible variations of two or three either way. In brief, the plan is this: any graduating high school senior is invited to take the Summerfield test, given each Spring in several advantageously located Kansas towns. To the ten or twelve who are considered by the judging committee to most nearly approach the standard of perfection as set forth in the plan, are awarded scholarships to the State Uni- versity, to be held as long as they maintain the high standards of work for which they were granted. In awarding the scholarships, no notice is taken of the student ' s need: they are open to rich and poor, although the amount of the scholarship is determined by the needs of the various students. To those who would otherwise be un- able to afford a college education, is given sufficient to cover all ex- penses, often including allowance for clothes, laundry, entertainment and spending money. On the other hand, students with ample means may have the honor of being a Summerfield, with no financial aid. Peculiarly enough, the average student at K.U. knows little or nothing of the Summerfields. He has heard that there were such things as Summerfields; perhaps he has even met one, or had one pointed out to him. But there are (Continued on page 238) . . . papers, sometimes dull, sometimes fascinat- ing. Photo by Art Wolf.

This would leave him practically idle, except that when- ever there is a meeting of Delta Sigma Rho (debate) , Pi Sigma Alpha (political science), Sachem, or Phi Beta Kappa, he has to be there. Left to his own devices he would turn to his bookshelf, which ranges from Wealth of Nations through Northwest Pas- sage to Sherlock Holmes. A voracious reader, this economics major missed being a Rhodes scholar just by the skin of his teeth. Planning on a law career, he has also studied army work and is a second lieutenant in the 353rd infantry.

Mrs. Elizabeth Watkins, Lawrence ' s No. 1 citizen, K.U. ' s godmother, will not like this p age. She avoids publicity and shuns praise, insisting she is doing only what any woman would do in her position. Her first gift, in 1926 was the much-needed Watkins Hall, giving forty deserving girls a chance for an education. She still pays the house-mother out of her own money. Next, the Watkins Memorial Hospital, one of the nation ' s finest University health centers. Then, Miller Hall, the twin of the earlier gift, now as much-needed because of the popularity of Watkins Hall. Returning students this fall saw still another gift nearly finished. Below is the new Watkins Nurses ' Home for the staff of the Memorial Hospital. Determined to give away two million dollars for the benefit of mankind, Mrs. Elizabeth Watkins, K.U. ' s godmother, has recently added the Watkins Nurses ' Home to her benefactions. Avoiding publicity concerning her generosity wherever she can, she plans all her own gifts and projects. Besides the buildings given to K.U., she has given the city hospital, an accompanying nurses ' home, and the City Hall to the town of Lawrence. THE JAY HAWKER Even in the midst of the basketball season, foot- ball will not keep still. Already some are talking of spring practice. And that spring practice is what the above young hopefuls have waited for since the last cheer died out in the stadium last fall. This is the Freshman Squad, each of whom wants to get the personal thrill out of hearing the announcer at the first game next fall say, And here comes the Kansas team on the field with a lot of new faces this year a lot of powerful sophomores that are out to make a name this season. This freshman squad was one of the first obvious evidences of the work of the new athletic director, Gwinn Henry. It is the most highly touted in years. Mr. Henry said last fall that the squad represented the very best high-school talent from all sections of the state. But that is not the whole story. This is the most cosmopolitan squad that has been seen lately. They were recruited as far west as California and as far south as Texas; and they came from the North and the East too. The first days of fall practice they turned out in hordes. By the first week, however, many either had been eliminated or had dropped out. The succeeding weeks continued to see more and more quitting quietly until only the select corps seen here remained. They took a beating for their trouble. Day after day they bucked the increasingly tough varsity were tackled and butted and smeared and stomped on, all for the hope of football glory in their own right next year. Still, the varsity did not have it easy. Let us repeat: this was a highly touted squad. Probably its sensation was Ralph Miller whose all-around backfield skill was hard to beat. In the line, Merkle and Martin, those mammoths from Chicago, were well-nigh im- movable. And all the other members of the gang were tough too they had to be. So now we ' re all waiting till spring practice, when these boys will try to eliminate each other to make the varsity. And the Big Six is waiting to watch the result next fall.

For the Cornhuskers, it was a third year guard, Bud Parsons, who showed the drive and hustle that was CARTER ' S STATIONERY UNIVERSITY SUPPLIES Just Opposite Granada Theater 1025 MASSACHUSETTS TELEPHONE 1051 IMPROVED Minicam FINISHING SERVICE Any miniature camera roll developed mm 15c This price is for developing only guar- anteed, highest quality for which Victor has been known for more than 18 years!

If the Kansas team can continue the improvement shown in this most recent game, it is very likely to bring back No. 13 for Doctor Allen.

The tableaux were under the direction of Rosemary Ketchman, professor of de- sign, and the lighting on the costumes and scenery produced striking effects. Students and members of the depart- ments of art and design appeared as characters in the living pictures. The next presentation was a carol- rhapsody, the composition of Mr. Frank Cunkle. It was sung by Miss Irene Peabody, mezzo-soprano, who was accompanied by a string trio with the composer at the organ. Preceding the second tableau, The Annunciation, the Vesper choir sang The Song of Mary. Following the tableau, The Shepherds and the Magi, Op. 75 (S. Rousseau) was played by Waldemar Geltch, violin; Robert For- man, oboe; Lewis Copeland, contra- bass; Mervyn Anderson, harp; and Laurel Everette Anderson, organ. The next number was by the choir, the colorful Hodie, Christmas Natus Est, and it was followed by the third tableau, The Wise Men Before Herod.

The Kansas Engineer, quarterly published, is the official magazine of the engineering school, and it is published here at the university. Proud of their alumni are the Mount Oread tech boys, who can show you that the percentage of their graduates listed in Who ' s Who in Engineering is the second highest of any school in the country, the Michigan School of Mines being first. With respect to the total number of K.U. alumni listed in the Who ' s Who in Engineering, the school ranks twentieth. This is an especially remarkable achievement when it is noted that there are many engineering schools such as Rensselear and Mas- sachusetts Institute of Technology which are much larger schools and are also strictly engineering schools. The chair of Dean, which was left vacant last year by the death of the beloved George C. Shaad, has been very capably filled by one of the most prominent civil engineers of the North- west, Ivan C. Crawford. Mr. Crawford, who for the past fourteen years was head of the Idaho University Engineer- ing School, officially assumed the office of Dean of Engineering and Archi- tecture last fall. 7 te Voice (Continued from page 207) types of programs, and schedules.

We felt that Mr. Nelson was perhaps too boyish in the first two acts for such a soldier of fortune as Essex. But let us now stand up to proclaim that in the third act and especially in the final scene Mr. Nelson prac- tically played the rest of the cast off the boards, even the formidable Eliza- beth. The simplicity of his speech, the feeling which he conveyed to the audience, the apparent understanding of the situation all were most ef- fective. In our last review we mentioned a chap named Alpha Perry who played a small part very well. This time Mr. Perry plays Sir Robert Cecil, and in so doing does the best male acting in the show. Mr. Perry is a good actor because he apparently plans his work in advance, down to the smallest detail something that nine out of ten amateurs never do. Although he oc- casionally slips in small details, his care in the complete portraiture is notable. In addition to this, Mr. Perry has picked up somewhere a stage diction which is most remarkable in a man who has done little acting.

Her name was Penelope Gray, played by Catherine Holmes. And Miss Holmes is certainly worthy of whole wreaths of orchids; she made the tragedy of the unfortunate lady-in- waiting contrast beautifully with that of the queen. Then there was the court fool, despised and cuffed on every side, yet with the soul of a man. It was a complex role of buffoonery and tender- ness, slapstick and pathos. To say that Jack Laffer played this fool superbly is no insult to Mr. Laffer. He was prob- ably the most popular character of all, and came very dose to stealing a scene, now and then. And there was other good work done in Elizabeth . For example, Joe Myers whom we have long admired as a comedian donned whiskers and a silver breast-plate to play that chivalrous, cold-blooded scoundrel, Sir Walter Raleigh. And Richard Mac- Gum, that amazing, versatile character actor, did an effective Sir Francis Bacon. And so your writer ' s-cramped correspondent could continue for he didn ' t see any outstandingly bad acting in Elizabeth , and most of what he saw was outstandingly good. There is no doubt but that a major share of the credit for the success of Elizabeth goes to Director Rolla Nuckles. Maxwell Anderson ' s drama is tremendously powerful, with dialogue which almost gets up and walks by it- self. All of which means that inspired directing is necessary to make the most of it. Whenever a play is produced in which the original written drama has been translated to the stage with power and punch, and in which the costum- ing and the stage settings and the lighting are all as much a part of the final effect as the lines then it is sure that the director deserves several cur- tain calls in his own right. Best scene of the play: that third act finale in that cold, grim room, and Essex descending through the door to his death, and the chimes ringing six, and the drums rolling in the distance, and Elizabeth screaming, My king- dom! It is yours! it left the audience gasping. Most gorgeous piece of scenery: those tapestries and if they ' re not hidden away, we ' ll be visiting Fraser the first dark night. Most impressive paunch: Elmer MacCarthy ' s (he played Dick Bur- bage, the actor). Most profuse line: we can ' t quote it here, but it belonged to Elizabeth. Miss Schreiber, unlike most co-ed actresses, swore ( on the stage, only on the stage ) with fluency and feeling. We learned much from her. Most libellous speech: belonged to the Fool, and ran thus: All the best fools come from Ireland, but only a very great fool will go there.

For instance, the Summerfield Scholars publish a newsletter peri- odically; about four times during the school year, giving news of present and former Scholars. Another important part of their program, which is fast becoming deep-rooted tradition, is the annual fall picnic, usually held at the Governor Robinson Farm. Here the new freshmen are introduced, presented with their credential books, and are ac- quainted with what is to follow. Then throughout the year are given six to eight colloquium dinners, at which senior Summerfields read papers sometimes dull, sometimes fascinat- ing on their major subjects. It ' s through these dinners that the interests and friendship of the Summerfields are more closely knit . . . that makes the interested outsider remark upon the fraternal spirit characterizing the or- ganization. While they must, in order to main- tain their scholarships, devote serious time to study, many Summerfields find time to devote effort to many types of extra activity. Some expand their ef- forts in politics, some affiliate with fra- ternities fraternities are not encour- aged, but they are not forbidden, either and others join glee clubs, depart- mental organizations, or find them- selves ' steadies. ' Dating among the Summerfields as a whole, though, is enjoyed less than the average. One girl was heard to say she was a little frightened of them fearing evenings spent in discussing Einstein, or perhaps calculus. Solon Erb Summerfield, who created the Foundation, was a native of Law- rence, where he attended the public schools, and entered the youthful State University in 1895, at the age of eighteen. Emerging with his LLB in 1901, he went west, and practiced law in Denver. Improving opportunities is they presented themselves, he even- tually found himself a big-time manu- facturer; president of the Gotham Silk Hosiery Company, one of the largest manufacturers of hosiery in the country. As a successful business man, Sum- merfield found that instead of con- centrating all his attentions on making money, he could begin thinking up ways to spend it. It was at this time that he began considering ways to create a useful gift to his alma mater. The climax of intensive investi- gation, research, and consultation was his letter to Prof. Olin Templin, head of the K.U. Endowment Association, announcing his gift of $20,000, and outlining his desires and plans in re- gard to a scholarship. And in 1929, the first public announcement of the new Summerfield Scholarships was made to the high school seniors of Kansas. It is with interest that administra- tors of the Foundation look into the future. With six classes of Summer- fields graduated, their progress is being watched carefully; their achievements are being compared with those of other students following similar pursuits. And in the meantime, the Summerfield ' Foundation is spreading beyond the borders of Kansas. Educators from points ever increasing in distance from Kansas are becoming acquainted with the system and following the progress of its scholars. And high school stu- dents over all the state are eying hope- fully the scholarship which spells effort great effort the result of which spells University distinction.

Waiting until school was quite definitely a thing of the past, the Phi Psi ' s got their party off their minds on Saturday night, with more Hill girls and less home-town flames than at the fall party. And then, of course, we all went home and began to be play-boys and social butterflies in earnest. But the doings and mis-doings of those two weeks will be left for the home-town gossips to whisper about.

' s swung a deal through the arranger of the band, a former D.U. here, and had Ben himself and a large section of his band jamming for an hour dance, to which a gang of interested people were in- vited one more example of the pre- viously-mentioned Delta Upslion hos- pitality. On January 7, the Hop came off with Pollack on the stand swinging his band so expertly and catering to the college crowd so genially that he was a tremendous success. There, among others, was the gay young red- head of the Kappa house, shouting to all and sundry about the glories of her new steady, all the while maintaining a terrific pace to keep up with Pol- lack ' s music. Saturday wus another sorority night with the girls of Alpha Chi Omega in the Union building and Sigma Kappa at their house. The Alpha Chi dance featured a circus motif, with a specially built canopy over the band and a pea- nut concession that was the hit of the evening with the stags. Betty Graham was the main attraction for the pack over at the Sigma Kappa house. And then the ensuing week-end marked the close of the first semester ' s official Hill night life. On Friday night the University Band boys gave up their flutes and piccolos to let Clyde Bysom and his boys take over the band stand for them. Naturally the dinner part of the affair was destined to be a suc- cess with such an astute and able toast- master as Clyde Smith in charge.

Saturday night the one-time tra- ditional Jeffersonian Duad was re-born with the Phi Gams and the Phi Psi ' s ganging up for a joint fling in the Union Building. With no other fra- ternity parties for competition, the very cream of the Hill ' s loveliest girls was there. So the affair was such a success that it will probably become a perma- nent institution. And that is the end of that. We can only hope that the new semester is as bright as that just ushered out. With the spring on the way, and with the spring, more parties, it looks like a great season, and more work if you want to call it that for yours truly. K. u.

Romance prevails in the spring formals of this season. Skirts at- tain that billowy appearance often aided by ruffled taffeta petticoats and hoops. The silhouette remains closely fitted to the waist, or slightly below. One well known Paris designer promotes corselets on her evening gowns; both inside and out. Many shoulders are bare with low necks accented by huge artificial flowers. Attention is registered at the shoulders and waist lines with in- teresting touches in the skirts. Nar- row ruchings have taken the place of Floradora frills in trimming the hem lines of skirts. Smocking and narrow bands of velvet ribbon reminiscent of the Nineteenth Century mark the formal of this spring as feminine and romantic.

Designers are achieving unusual effects by using rwo shades of chiffon, one over the other; such as blue over green, red over blue, gold over green and grey over blue these are especially good on dimly lighted dance floors. Another good combination is black lace with white organdie. Maggy Rouff uses this in a white gown with a tight fitting basque, the bottom three feet of the full skirt being of black, as well as a tiny cape, just covering the shoulders. All kinds of drapery fall- ing from the shoulders lend grace to the dancer, as well as putting her in the height of fashion. Many of this season ' s garments, especially those made of chiffon, have pieces of material fastened at the shoulders and falling clear to the floor in the back. Others have full length capes or coats of a sharp contrasting color. Pleated net ranks high as a fabric for evening wear as well as bright splashy prints. Some have flowers as large as a foot in diameter re- peated frequently in the design. Dresses of this type are made very plain with wide full skirts, and fitted tops. Grey jersey is adaptable for the soft, draped type of dress, and may be composed of two tones. Boleros are just as popular on formals as they are on street dresses. These are usually of a heavy bro- caded material, cut very short. A favorite type of formal is the black net ruffled skirt topped with a white blouse, wide red sash and tiny bolero. Altho the bolero first appeared on the Latin type of dress, it is now seen in combination with all kinds of dresses. Pink is a flattering as well as stylish top for the black dress, whether it be crepe, chiffon, or taf- feta. Pink suede and pink felt are also being used more everyday in formal wear as jackets and trim- mings.

Styles show that this year the colors are much brighter, with many shades of green predominat- ing; but still, we will see a variety of blues, greys, and tans in suitings, with the popular English drape, three-button front, and split vent. Among the patterns featured in spring suits, the herringbones lead the style parade; they are shown in many widths with overplaids and cross stripes of various colors. Milo Sloo, of the Fiji house, sports one of these beautiful grey her- ringbone suits wtih coffee-colored stripe in the full English drape. Although worsted suitings have full swing for spring, there will be many gabardines, cheviots, and Shetlands for both sport and dress wear. And gabardines of a very deep shade of blue will soon make the campus look like a scene from Snow White. And for another il- lustration of smart college style, we point to Randy Long ' s selection of the green herringbone cheviot that meets the approval of anyone in the know about clothes. A well matched hat is quite necessary for the smartly dressed college man.

Feb. 1 People finally gave up look- ing for snap courses and proceeded to enroll in morning classes to leave afternoons free during the spring. En- rollment day has usual bustle, closed classes, lines, arguments, etc. Feb. 2 Classes started, and the Jay- hawkers celebrated (again) with a basketball victory over the Huskers, score 48-33. Feb. 4 Already complaints of being behind were heard as everyone got in the groove and thanked God for Fri- day. Feb. 7 Kansas State threatened to take our boys in a close game, won in the last minute, 35-33. Feb. 8 Dr. Edwin McNeal Poteat spoke at the convocation which started religious week on Mount Oread. Feb. 1 1 That slick band of ours left for a concert tour of Kansas City and came out with due honors. Feb. 14 In spite of blase women and sophisticated men the usual amount of flowers, candy, comics, etc. accom- panied St. Valentine ' s Day and the squires of fair damsels began wonder- ing how the bills could be paid the first of the month. Feb. 15 Spring Dance came forth with a successful opening night, and a definite triumph for leading by FATHER TIME lady Roberta Cook was conceded by all who attended. Also there was a rumor abroad that the Sour Owl tried to hoot. We hear that some chump bought one. Feb. 17 Cries of Comrade , The Revolution , Bombing P r a c t i c e , Arise! ! etc. were heard on the campus as the student body awoke to the fact that Communism was in our midst, at least the State Legislature seemed to think so. K.U. came out over Okla- homa, 41-38. Feb. 18 Roberta Cook scored again as queen of the Hobnail Hop, the an- nual slide-rule-pushers get together. Feb. 20 The heads of all organized houses met for a discussion of the red situation . A request was made that any student red demonstration such as the proposed march on Washington, Topeka, bombing the Administration Building or Stadium, etc. be suppressed. More fun spoiled. Feb. 21 The K.U. Communists blasted the Iowa State Capitalists with a complete victory, 31-23, by tossing oversized bombs through the netted hoop. Feb. 22 Mt. Oread celebrated the birthday of the father of our country by having the Lawrence police rebuke three of our best red satirists, who displayed cherry red without the hatchet and with the sickle and ham- mer. Feb. 23 Carl Kreuger and the Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra played to a large crowd in Hoch Auditorium. Feb. 25 W.S.G.A. Carnival. ' Nough said. Feb. 26 The Jayhawkers clinched their chances for a tie for the champi- onship by beating Nebraska, 50-47. Feb. 28 The Senate at Topeka finally woke up and killed the bill for the red investigation at our beloved Alma Mater. March 1 Work on rehabilitation of the Dyche Museum was begun, and the Kansan gloats. March 3 Kansas did all right, as its cagers became undisputed Big Six basketball champions once more by de- feating the Missouri Tigers, 56-36, and Fred Pralle took the Big Six Scoring Title in his last game for K.U., and famous Kansan, Glen Cunningham, set a new world record for the mile run, time 4:04.4.

We ' re conceited, and why shouldn ' t we be? We ' re one of the rarest and finest things in all the universe. Obviously out of the hundred and thirty-odd million people in the United States, the million or so who are even inside college walls at this moment are the chosen few. The fact that we went to high school set us far above the mob; the fact that we even entered college made mountain peaks our thrones and clouds our crowns. But if this be so, then the hundred and fifty thousand who are right now college seniors are surely the chosen of the gods. The hope of the world is in us. College education and the training of youth is no longer a private con- cern; it is the concern of State and Society. Of the growth in college education, Life magazine says: It has changed the campus from a scholarly retreat to a new and fabu- lous design for four years ' living. It has caused colleges to expand and multiply until their mere brick and stone is worth two billion dol- lars. Behind this vast investment is tremendous faith ... And of us, the students, it says, They re- present the world ' s first great ex- periment in mass higher education, an experiment which could only happen in America and has only happened here in the 20th Cen- tury. For us America as a whole sweats to build and taxes herself to pay for it; and those particular Americans, our parents, keep the old car another year and change from steak to meat loaf to keep us here, because their hope is in us too. Twenty years from now the governments and industries and arts of the world will be in our hands, and we must be ready. More than this, the learning of the world is in our hands. The best that has been thought and said in the world rests with us to cherish and somehow pass on. Without us, Homer and Hannibal and Galileo would be lost in two generations. But why be so theoretical about it? We ' re God ' s anointed because we are having four years of real living. We ' re God ' s anointed be- cause we can scream our throats out at dawn football ralies at the railroad station, because we can sing silly songs at the dinner table, because we can have steak fries under soft spring skies with the most beautiful girls in the world, because we can drink good bock beer and argue till morning about Religion and the Ultimate Mean- ing of Life instead of going to Rotary luncheons and getting con- cerned over commodity price levels. This, then and hear us, future editors is the real responsibility of the Jay hawker: to record for eternity the fact that there was such a place as K.U. in the year 1938, and to show of what that year was made. Are we getting sentimental? Hell, yes, and you ' d get sentimental too if you were a college senior in 1938 and looking into a cannon ' s mouth. 2 8 THE JAYHAWKER APRIL 1938 259 DATING, either of night or in the afternoon, like those at the left.

JO outside observers who merely glance at sports results, the 1938 Big Six basketball race was just the same old story all over again. It was the same familiar picture the Kansas Jayhawkers In First Place dressed up in a bright and shiny 1938 frame. Observers probably picked up their papers on the morning of March 4, noticed sports headlines, and casually remarked, Well, Kansas has done it again. Little did they realize that Kansas ' thirteenth championship in seven- teen years of Big Six and Missouri Valley competition was not as casual and matter of fact as all that. As well Kansas students know, the determined drive to the title on the part of the Jayhawkers was an exciting uphill battle, packed with thrills and suspense all the way. Actually, to them, the un- believable came true. For few thought that Kansas ' apparently erratic team could come through for nine straight wins and the title. The 1938 edition of the Kansas Jayhawkers was clearly not the dominating, vastly superior team of the conference as quite often has been the case in the past. On the contrary, Oklahoma ' s fire-engine team, with a mark of five straight victories, once ap- peared definitely on the way to the championship. The Sooners looked for the most part almost unbeat- able, especially on their home floor where Kansas had yet to meet them. Oklahoma sport fans were already beginning to celebrate their second championship in Big Six basketball history. But those same Jayhawkers who didn ' t look the part of Champions in early games had yet to have their say. For a period of more than two long weeks Doctor Allen took them under his wing, slowly primed them for the game which would practically decide the cham- pionship. What emerged was a Kansas team that does not have to doff its hat to great Kansas teams of the past. That certain something that seemed to be lacking in their previous play was there in large quantities; Fight and cArdeno and punch were in workirB and this determined morale team wouldn ' t be beaten, even 1 on Okla- homa ' s own floor. . Doctor Allen admitted later that atjbe half he himself didn ' t think the team would win, and described the bat- tle as possessing the same sort of magic that enabled the football team to win so miraculously from the Sooners this fall.

As for being Dutch and from St. Louis, Ferdinand agrees to that and is proud of it. But he ' s really not so crazy. Unless it ' s crazy, that is, to be top scorer in the Big Six this year, or to make the All-American college basketball team, or to be all-Big-Six guard for three years. And the Healey ' s think he ' s pretty good too. They snapped him up, and he ' s been playing for them in Denver at the national A.A.U. tournament, where said A.A.U. just voted him the most valuable player of them all. And after all that, his real love is big-league baseball has had some offers but business positions are offered to good basketball players and he ' s had some business subjects. Major is political science. Is a Delta Tau Delta, member of the K-Club, and last year ' s athletic representative in the Student Council. Once he had a correspondence course in piano and can play the St. Louis Blues; likes to drink cokes, likes to spend money on clothes.

UN April 23, 1938, a throng of athletic enthusiasts and admirers will again fill the memorial Stadium of the University of Kansas for the Sixteenth An- nual Kansas Relays. From all parts of the Middle- west, spectators and athletes will come to take their part in the famous Relays (Webster says Re-lays). Why will all of of these people be in Lawrence? Why will the fraternities and sororities invite rushees up to their houses for that week-end? Why will all of the highways leading into Lawrence be crowded? Why? The answer is that these people want to see the galaxy of track stars that will be assembled in the stadium on April 23. Glenn Cunningham, barrel- chested flyer from Elkhart, Kansas, and protege of Coach Bill Hargiss, will make his bid for another byJ.ARRY WINN world record. The mile king has broken two world records in the month of March: the 1500 meters run, and the rriile run which he can in the astonish- ing time of 4:04.4 seconds, murdering the old time of 4:06.8 seconds. Coach Hargiss has informed us that Cunningham, Iron-man of track , will be here for sure and the Miler has invited Don Lash, crack distance runner, member of the 1936 Olympic team, and his arch-rival, Archie San Romani, to compete with him in a Special invitational two mile race. It is remembered that San Romani defeated Cunning- ham in the Invitation Mile run in the 1937 Kansus Relays. This year, the flame-scarred runner has not been beaten in any race. If the weather and con- ditions are suitable, a new record should belong to him. Gwinn Henry, New hope of Kansas athletics, is putting all his power and ability behind these 1938 Relays. He has secured efficient officials, like Major John L. Griffith, Commissioner of the Big Ten Con- ference, who will Referee this years ' carnival. Henry himself has been selected Director of the 1938 Kansas Relays. The Relays committee has sent invitations and entry blanks to all large universities and colleges in the United States. Entered again this year are such outstanding schools as: Indiana, Iowa, Northwestern, Minnesota, Drake, Washington, and others. And of course all the Big Six teams will be well-represented.

The Union has been growing steadily for more than a score of years, annually em- bracing more and more campus activities within its confining walls. Even now there seems to be no number of new activities seeking a foothold there. All phases of stu- dent enterprise are brought to- gether in the Union, designed as it was to unite the students into closer bonds of friendship by pro- viding a common social center where all might gather. Few know that the Union is not officially a part of the Uni- versity. Actually the Memorial Union is a corporation governed by a board of directors, known as the Operating Committee, and only responsible to the state gov- ernment at Topeka. Stockholders in this corporation are the stu - dents of the University, who pay a dollar for their share, and reap dividends in the many facilities of- fered by the Union. It is a com- mon misapprehension, Union manager Jack Townsend declares, that students take it for granted that the Union Building is just an- other department in the Uni- versity. Startling is the fact but figures have proved it that approxi- mately every three days, the entire population of the University uses the Memorial Union in some man- ner or other! Many hundreds of them cat there daily in the cafe- teria; four to five thousand or more utilize the fountain, lifeline of the Union ' s operating income, each week; up in the ballroom the midweek varsity is seldom attend- ed by fewer than a thousand, and weekend varsities and class parties are given to a thousand or more dancers. Besides this, meetings in the Pine Room and in the lounges ac- count for many hundreds more each week, as does the lounge, serving those coming for relax- ation, reading, and study. Judging by figures, the main asset of the Union, besides the fountain, is it ' s ballroom. Booked for dances every Wednesday, and usually every Friday and Saturday, attendance in the ballroom almost always exceeds three thousand. Its comfortable capacity, according to official reports, is about four hund- red couples; which draws the re- sulting conclusion that the ball- room is too small. Any student organization may rent the ball- t Continued on page 323) Photos by D ' Ambro and Brandt Write-up by Jim Robertson en MR.

Living in pairs or quartets in little apart- ments, they buy their own food and cook it as best they can; they wash the dishes after a fashion, oc- casionally make their beds, and less frequently even clean the place up a bit. Their own story as they tell it lies midway between delicate pathos and hilarious comedy. Contrary to popular opinion, they say, can-openers are not a necessity to men on their own. For, you see, tin is expensive and highly inedible. Potatoes, eternally boiled or fried or mashed, and meat, eter- nally ground, form a good basis for any meal. And day-old, five- cent-a-loaf bread with butter ( pea- nut, apple or oleo) make out the meal. Balanced meals? Cheap fruits and milk are about enough to balance the spuds and ham- burger for those who are batching. The equipment is pitiful. Bun- sen burners, laundry stoves, and Ropers range specials are pressed into use, but the electric grill for toasting a quick cheese sandwich is the handiest of all. Dishwashing to those batching is an art in itself. Freshmen may let the dishes pile up, but they soon learn that it is actually easier to wash the eggs off the first day than to pry them off with a bowie knife a week later. It is largely the dif- ficulty of washing baking dishes that limits the kind of diet. When the cook doesn ' t have to scrub his own pans, it is astonishing how scalloped potatoes and baked mara- roni increase in frequency. Fine male chefs there have al- ways been and always will be, but the men never did set themselves up as housekeepers. The conscien- tous clean-up of the apartment usually goes no farther than the first old Esquire that looks as if it just had to be glanced through once more before throwing it away. As for beds, there are those who make them immediately upon rising; but far more there are who don ' t touch it till threatened with phenumonia from exposure. To some it ' s tragic; to all it ' s a heroic experience.

And the facts are that over sixty per cent of the male students are either wholly or par- tially self-supporting. And the wholly class is by no means neg- lible. The same group that has the misconception as to the financial condition of Hill inhabitants would be more than a little surprised at the number and novel ways in which students put themselves through school. Equally astonished would be the student body includ- ing the majority that is working. Since eating is an important human activity, not a bit strange is it that it should furnish employ- ment to many. Hill eating estab- lishments like the Blue Mill, Brick ' s, The Jayhawk, The Cottage, and others employ a large number of University men. The waiter, as he madly dashes from table to table, yelling to the man behind APRIL 5 MS is a - fcfnof - ' . foOmf [k net, CLOTHING AGENT the fountain in some such code- language as Shoot one! Drag it Through Georgia! Jerk a couple! One to the right, one to the left! is a familiar sight. Then there are the fry cooks and pearl divers (dishwashers four hours a day for board) in most cases University men. Never out of a job is the good cook. Many of the faculty have student cooks and with batching becoming such a popu- lar institution, the demand for good student cooks steadily in- creases. In the practical realm of music and fine arts student ability pays well. Hill dance bands are the main groups of competent Uni- versity musicians. Solo voices in church choirs are also rewarded. Then there is money on the side for men able to write musical scores. The numerous posters that come out periodically to advertise the coming of a Mai Hal let and his band for the Junior Prom or a forthcoming issue of the Sour Owl are usually products of student commercial artists. According to the University Employment Bureau, a great number of Law- rence parents entrust the fine art of caring for their children with University men, hiring them also to drive the children to and from school. In various kinds of manual labor University men find em- ployment. One enterprising stu- dent holds the contract for paint- ing a house being built in West Hills. Two others were employed in the pouring of concrete as well as in painting Spanish Professor Carmen ' s present home. Still others are at present digging ditches and making maps for the gas company. A pharmacy student built his own one-room house a number of months ago a block east of the stadium. University printers, plumbers, and carpenters are to be found as well as pro- ficient gardners. Surrounding dairy farms and the local canning factory are two more sources of employ- ment. And the smart and al ert clothing salesman makes good money. HASH HUSTLER 271 The University itself employs many men in diverse capacities. The business and College office forces are small but efficient, the latter adding to the payroll a large group of men during enrollment periods. Another group is em- ployed throughout the year by the athletic department in the super- vision of intramural sports, in the care of locker rooms, and in the repair of intramural fields, tennis courts, and the two football fields. The various departmental labora- tory equipment storerooms are al- most exclusively managed by stu- dents. Then, too, the University periodically hires men to grade the psychological tests given the freshmen class and sends students regularly to inspect the many rooming houses. When the time for term papers rolls around, the expert typist is sure to be in demand. And who knows how many ghost writers are plying their undercover trade on the Hill. All of which brings to mind Journalism Professor Flint ' s Czecho-Slovakian secretary. This man takes dictation at 200! It is said that no one in the school can dictate fast enough to keep pace with him. Little wonder he is well paid! Four hundred men are on the CSEP payroll.

According to this, the quantity of parties should be on the wane in the next few weeks, replaced by more private functions in the locality of the nearby meadows. However, there has hardly been a dearth of parties during the winter season, so the Jayhawker, as always, has covered them all. The between-semester lull was effectively broken by the boys of Sigma Chi on Thursday, January 27, when they left behind all thoughts of finals to toss a whinger in the chapter house with Clyde Byson on the bandstand. The house was gaily decorated with the brightest of colors and the brightest of girls. Reel Blackburn was allowed to relax and enjoy a party for a change, and that he did with wifey Barbara Goll, the comforting bit of Chi Omega. After working assiduously for a week, the Phi Delt ' s came through with their big party of the year on February 4.

The new Council was chosen under a new voting system, so with the retiring Council, an election system that has been in use in substantially the same form for several years, also passed out of existence. Under the new plan, es- tablished through an amendment which received student approval in the 1937 spring election, M.S.C. membership is reduced to seven- teen regular members, a president, a representative-at-large and two special members. After the 1937 election, ob- servers predicted a bang-up party struggle on the present retiring Council and well-founded were those predictions. For Pachacamac had obtained a one-vote majority and P.S.G.L. had elected the Coun- cil president. With that situation, a good old dog fight year was the likely prospect and Hill politicians rested over the summer vacation in anticipation of the coming bat- tle. Last fall, virtually before the new Council had been seated securely and before any contro- versial questions came up to divide the body along party lines, Prof. George Stratton ' s eligibility com- mittee, in one blow, wiped out the scant Pachacamac margin and transformed the M.S.C. sessions into what have resembled a meet- ing of the Ladies Aid Society. Five councilmen of the Rising Sun party were unseated in the scramble, which left P.S.G.L. with a clear majority for filling the vacancies, and fill them they did for the most part with defeated League candidates from the 1937 election. Since the ineligibility purge, Pachacamac has not had voting strength to be a forceful minority and P.S.G.L. has not at any. time attempted to use its majority power to force an issue through a Council session. Virtually all questions either have recei ved unanimous approval or have been passed by APRIL 3 8 75 split party voting. There has been no extremely important legislation and no bitter party fight. The 1937-38 M.S.C edition has em- erged as one big, happy family, that has held bi-monthly reunions at which all was in the spirit of good fellowship and kindly fra- ternity. Cooperation has been the Council keyword and inter-party love its standard. President during the passive po- litical year was Don Voorhees. Summerfield scholar, nominal head of P.S.G.L., and a master politician. His well-oiled machine speeded through resolutions and measures with such ease that only when time was called to send the Vice-president Emil Weineke Treasurer C. H. Mullen Secretory Moe Ettenson President Don Voorhees, P.S.G.L. Big-wig, didn ' t have much trouble, because Pachacamacs were rarer than Republicans in North-side Kansas City. Kansan reporter down to the Union fountain for refreshments or such upsetting incidents oc- curred as Jim Bounds falling over backwards in his chair, did ses- sions hold later than 10 p.m. Perhaps the most valuable Council member certainly the most experienced was diminu- tive, soft-spoken Phil Raup who completed his third year of M.S.C. service. It was he who decided all matters of constitutional question, who advised and prescribed when the President was in doubt, who won the confidence of both parties by his sincerity and efficiency. Moe Ettenson, secretary of the body and Pachacamac Council lord, was only a shade less out- standing. His minutes were always well-written, detailed and so com- plete that there never was an ob- jection or a correction. He in- variably rattled them off in rapid- fire style much to the enjoyment of fellow members. Moe occupied the chair just to the right of Presi- dent Voorhees and frequently was called into consultation with Don. Over-ruling Moe ' s objections the council took great pleasure in authorizing him to compose letters upon occasion. Most important action of the Council all year was the perse- cution of six K.U. students who invaded Manhattan to paint the aggie campus. For their excessive school spirit, which was in vio- lation of a standing agreement be- tween the schools, the boys were indicted by the Council and con- victed and sentenced by the Stu- dent Supreme court.

Actually it is somewhere be tween the two, rowdy, spirited, and character-forming. Here is a cross section of typical houses on a typical day, beginning with that awful shake from the call-boy and progressing through chin -scraping, very informal breakfast, leaving for 8:30 ' s, an emergency call on the house mother, a much more formal dinner, sometimes o meeting, and ending yp with the inevitable wrestling, called rough-housing by some, while others use a more descriptive term.

Toughest problem to be met by Pan-Hel, whose field is that of inter-fraternity relationships, is the supervision and control of fraternity rushing and pledging activities on the Hill. Among the things accomplished this year was a revision of rush-week rules. Each year the Council makes an Inter-Fraternity Scholarship Award. Major social function sponsored by the Council is its Annual Spring For- mal. Held early this year, it came March 5 in the Memorial Union Build- ing ballroom. O. J. Connell, Jr., Kappa Sigma from El Dorado, is this year ' s president. The first named in the membership list is the representative and the second the alternate. OFFICERS O. J.

A member of Sigma Tau, hono- rary engineering fraternity, he is studying Chemical Engineering for a livelihood. Enjoys dancing and solv- ing mathematical puzzles. Says that women, although a strain on the pocketbook, are fundamentally worth while. Has a decided preference for blondes, brunettes and redheads. Joyce Vetter, who, in spite of p. 223, last issue, is really Vice Presi- dent of the JUNIOR Class, is still mainly musical. Like most Fine Arts students, spends a lot of time run- ning around appreciating concerts and such. But is especially distinguished by being a Mu Phi Epsilon, honorary musical sorority, and being in the Westminster Choir. She is a Kappa Alpha Theta from Lawrence. George Bowles, otherwise known as Dumpy , is the Growler to his brothers at the Phi Psi house. A product of Kansas City, Mo., George was elected Treasurer on the Pacha- camac ticket. Was on the varsity basketball squad two years. Says that the part of the school year he likes best is summer. Roberta Mitchell, also a Fine Arts student, is from Coffeyville and a Re- publican by descent. Besides being Secretary of the Junior class, Roberta is a member of the Jay Jaynes, the Dean ' s Orchestra, the Modern Choir and the Honors Convocation. Major- ing in Public School Choruses, with a view toward a career, she is neverthe- less more fond of dancing. Hence favors men who are good dancers. Rex Gish, who lives in Lawrence, was hurtled into office with the rest of the Pachacamacs as one of the student Dance Managers. Rex was on the Dean ' s Honor Roll his Freshman and Sophomore years. Enters Medical School next fall with surgical am- bitions. Likes golf, Ronald Coleman and intelligent girls. Hates the grad- ing system thinks it shoud be on a percentage rather than a letter basis. Bill Harlan is the other Dance Man- ager. Bill came to K. U. from Camb- ridge, Kansas, bringing with him a preference for the Republican party and an ambition to become a certified public accountant. He is an A. T. 0., a member of the K. U. band and of the baseball team. He likes bru- nettes. 296 THE JAY HAWK I- R SIGNS OF SPRING: Dr. Allen touring the Lawrence Country Club in his new bright red and brown golfing outfit . . .

Our country ' s backbone of defense perhaps furnishing outstanding officers in our country ' s future conflicts. Our R.O.T.C. boys are voluntarily do- ing the patriotic service to their country of learning fundamental military tactics. A graduate, having completed the four-year course may have the opportunity of one year provisional regular service with the possibility of being com- missioned in the regular service. As one of the largest and most highly organized organizations on hill, the Reserve Officer ' s Training Corps has raised its standards even higher at K.U. this year. With its major purpose to train and develop men in leadership, sound judg- ment, physical culture, it has gone marching forward with the largest enrollment on record, the R.O.T.C. has expanded its program to pro- vide an interest to a greater number of students. Social events have rounded out the year ' s pro- gram. Major events of the past year show that the steady progress has been the keynote and the officers have directed happenings actively to that end. In the Spring of 1937 Annual Federal Inspection was held April 26-27 and the units both Coast Artillery and Infantry received a rating of Excellent which is the highest rating given by the United States Government. In the middle of May the An- nual Spring Barbecue was held with Sergeant Kollander doing the Honors. About 600 were present. Final parade was held and R.O.T. C. awards were presented. Commencement was held June 7 for the largest class in R.O.T.C. history at K.U. Forty-eight R.O. T.C. graduates received their Commissions as Second Lieuten- ants in the Organized Reserve. The Summer months were not idle for prospective seniors who spent six weeks at Summer Camps. The Coast Artillery went to Fort Sheridan, Illinois; Infantry Cadets went to Fort Leavenworth; four cadets attended Ordnance Camp at Fort Sill, Oklahoma; and one was sent to the Chemical Warfare at Edgewood Arsenal, Maryland. On July 1 six selected R.O.T.C. graduates, at their own request, were detailed to active duty for one year. They may compete for Regular Commissions to be award- In the summer they go to camp and learn all about anti-aircraft and range finders and such. eel about July 1, 1938. At the beginning of this school year R.O.T.C. reached its highest enrollment on record at K.U. In September the new enrollment was 317. On No- vember 11, the corps paraded in the Armistice Day celebration and for the reunion of the 35th Division. The first semester R.O.T.C. Dance was held De- cember 3, this year. It was one of the most colorful and successful parties of the year being resplendant in uniforms and well-planned throughout. In December a superb barbecue was held in the National Guard Armory with special entertainment provided for the benefit of all. Every member of the R.O.T.C. has been en- couraged to try out for the Rifle Team. About ten matches are fired each season. Shoulder to shoulder matches were held at Leaven worth, Manhattan, and Booneville, Missouri. An excellent girl ' s rifle team is guided and advised by Major Edwards who also has charge of the men ' s team. In Grand Competition at Booneville the girl ' s team tied for high honors and the men ' s team came off well. Awards made in May 1937 included a silver marksmanship medal and name on cup to Cadet Private William A. Smiley, Jr., for being the best shot. Sweaters with shields were awarded the fol- lowing in order of standing: W. A. Smiley, Jr., K. P. Aitken, Jr., G. Wood, Jr., M. L. Denlinger, C. W. Ward, J. E. Scoggins, J. J. Miller, C. L.

At the risk of calling down the pro- fessor ' s wrath on this grey head, we ' ll vote for Spring Dance . There are sufficiently good reasons for the choice. In the first place, most amateur theatrical groups put on plays for their own amusement, and not for that of the audience. Spring Dance was the audience ' s play. In the second place, amateur actors are not al- ways as good as Lunt and Fon- tanne, and consequently they do better acting when they can simply be themselves. Spring Dance was cast almost entirely to type. As a result, Spring Dance had more consistently good comedy act- ing if you can call it acting A MARTIN MALONEY REVIEW This is Don Dixon, who makes up both scenery and faces, and plays with light- ing.

The play, one must admit, is not a fine play; it is written well, but not brilliantly, around that vener- able plot which has fed so many authors: the boy-meets-girl pro- gression. But then the play was (Continued on page 320) Bill Fey and Roberta Cooke screaming at each other, proving, in the play, that that b the wrong tactics with women. LSIXX d,hi ri pro- photo by Art Wolf.

She loves mountains they make you feel so little and speaks glowingly of the discoveries one can make. But Dr. Cook moved away from Denver, and Roberta ' s high school days were spent in Missouri. There she worked in debate, the glee club, the Student Council, edited the paper and had all the feminine leads in plays. Which brings us to our main point. Remember Cynthia, the girl across the hall, in Beggar on Horseback ? That was Cookie. And remember Alex Benson, in Spring Dance, who didn ' t want to fall in love? That was Cookie, too, in a piece of acting remarkable and sincere. Well, she calls dramatics her hobby. Is now in her third year of fine arts study and already practice-teaching voice. She ' s a member of Mu Phi Epsilon, the glee club, dramatic club, is Jay Jane president, new secretary of the W.S.G.A., recent queen of the engineers, Gamma Phi Beta rush captain for the second time (her sister is a freshman next year).

STRICKLER JOHN BOYER The Alumni Office, basement of Ad, center of activity 1 J It is headed by the board shown at the left and below, but for all practical purposes the Alumni Association is Fred Ellsworth. It is his enthusiasm, his energy, his constant flow of new ideas that activates the entire organization. Officially he is general secretary of the association and editor of the Graduate Magazine, but even that dual title gives little hint of the extent of his duties. Ellsworth and his office staff have a complete record of past students, gleaned from newspaper clippings, letters, interviews, and information post cards. Alumni find it easier to keep the Alumni office posted than to endure their persistence. The Graduate Magazine is a publication of the association and is the most valuable single means of keeping in touch with past students everywhere. Although em- phasizing the personal section, the magazine is progressive in layout, pictures, and general make-up. To the office come eager boys seeking jobs, curious second-generation students seek- ing information about their parents, sentimental seniors seeking assurance that all contact with the school will not be lost that awful day in June. Even those with a purely archeological interest in the past of K.U. can find a remarkably complete file of old publications there. Functionally, besides all this, the Alumni Association builds public sentiment in support of the University; it campaigns for alumni support of campus improvements (it played a large part in the erection of the Stadium and the Union building) ; it helps finance and organize glee club and band trips through its members. It is the one part of the University that is most vitally concerned with the past, the present, and the future all at the same time. 1 J A. Winning concession was the Chi Omega bowery dive.

It was a kind of academic inferi- ority complex that I felt for the school as a whole until my visit a week ago to the University of Kansas Hospitals in Kansas City. Before this, I had heard vaguely of some such institution that was pur- ported to have some connection with the University, but the whole thing was just a little obscure to me. A week ago, however, I saw it all with my own eyes. Escorted by smiling Dr. Wahl, Dean of the Medical School, I walked the miles of corridors of Bell Memorial Hos- pital. I saw the nurses ' quarters and the classrooms. I saw the oper- ating rooms full of gleaming ap- paratus and the infant wards full of new-born kicking babies. I saw the great kitchen, a bustle of move- ment and a confusion of noise, pre- paring fifteen hundred meals a day. I saw the library, tomb-like in its quiet, towering with stacks of books, I smelled the ominous odor of strange medicines in the treat- ing rooms and the cherry tang of fresh paint in the newly completed children ' s wing. And I glimpsed the scores of dirty, bewildered hu- man beings waiting in long lines for medical care; infected hands and diseased eyes, a child twisted with arthritis and a woman about to have a baby. All this! I exclaimed. Is all this a part of the University? Doctor Wahl ' s eyes twinkled. Yes, he said, and look out of the window. The building on your left is the colored hospital. That big new one straight ahead is the new clinic building. To its left is the laboratory, and then the ware- house. To the right is the heating building. This huge institution, this aggregate of buildings, doc- tors, nurses, students, and patients, known collectively as the Uni- versity of Kansas Hospitals, is as directly connected with the Uni- versity at Lawrence as is Snow Hall. It is simply a vast laboratory for the students of the medical school, with living, breathing hu- man beings for equipment and vital diseases for problems. The students there are just as surely students of the University as are the engineers or the law boys. K. U. is simply unique in that a very impressive part of its campus lies forty miles away, at Fortieth and Rainbow Boulevard in Kansas City. We can best see the relationship of this human laboratory to the University through the eyes of a medical student. Each man study- ing there has at least six years of training already behind him. Far back, as a hopeful pre-medic, he became acquainted with the basic sciences of all medicine; namely, biology and chemistry. Of course his being there means also that he did not succumb to such eliminat- ing courses as physics and Ger- man, but once they are mastered they do not rear their ugly heads (Continued on page 318) ALBERT TURNER ALDRICH.

After three years, when the aspiring student enters the medical school at Lawrence, he begins to specialize and apply these two basic sciences. In the field of bi- ology he concentrates on bacteriology and anatomy; in chemistry, on bio- chemistry. Laboratory, the real practice in these sciences, becomes increasingly important. Then, at the end of another three years, the student enters the final lap, the University of Kansas Hos- pitals. There the same basic sciences are further specialized and further ap- plied, but with real human beings tak- ing the place of test-tubes and dumb animals. In bacteriology, the student has studied disease-producing organ- isms; now, in pathology, he studies the diseases as they are produced. In bio- chemistry, he has studied drugs and chemicals; now, in pharmacology, he studies their actual effects on disesases. There are still classrooms, of course, but instead of going to lab at Snow Hall, one goes to the out-patient clinic. In administration, the medical school at Kansas City is tied closely with the University, but the hospitals are financed directly by the state. More- over, this is only fair and proper, for they do a tremendous service to the state. Located not far from the railroad bottoms and the industrial district, the University of Kansas Hospitals serve multitudes who could not otherwise af- ford medical care. The best doctors of Kansas City, aided by the medical stu- dents, offer their services free of charge, providing they are sure the patients are sincerely needy. In appreciation of this, a special department is kept busy investigating the financial condition of those seeking free medical treatment. Dr. Wahl explained that a charge of twenty-five cents a visit is still made as a psychological trick. If a patient receives care for nothing, he concludes it is worth nothing, and hence refuses to cooperate. Since the twenty-five cent charge has been imposed, the treat- ments have been more effective than before. Two types of patients are served. The out-patients are those whose ailments do not require con- finement or isolation and who only call for clinical treatment. Sixty thousand patients of this kind were taken care of last year. The other type, the in- patients, are those confined to the hos- pital beds and visited daily by a doctor or by a student under the supervision of a doctor. The three hundred beds of Bell Memorial are filled constantly. To call the entire system at Kansas City the Bell Memorial Hospital is both a misnomer and an under-state- ment. Dr. Bell first contributed build- ings farther down in Rosedale which made the medical school in Kansas City possible. When the main hospital was moved to its present, more-desirable site, the name of a generous founder was retained. Since then, however, the other buildings have been added by other funds having no association with Dr. Bell or his estate. Part were by state contributions, part by private do- nations, and part by federal funds. Thus the main building is still called Bell Memorial, but the others, includ- ing those down the hill which are still used for classroom instruction, are called collectively the University of Kansas Hospitals. We who are proud of our University are often only too little aware of how proud we really should be, seldom bothering to remem- ber that tremendously large and tre- mendously important part of our campus forty miles away.

Three of the better Phi Belts Dick Siebert, Gene Haughey, Dick Weaver, went to the city for a celebration. They came back the next day with black eyes and bruises. Some celebration! Next time they ' ll stay away from the Bowery. Jane Coffman brought back several hearts from Wichita according to the dope we got. She is doing all right here, too. A bunch of cute kids Roberta Walker, Johnny Begert, Margaret Stukey and Bud Brown. Bee Patton seems to be getting along as well as ever with all her Phi Gams. Jack McCarty, Tom Higgins, and various others would like to have verfi- cation of the rumor that Martha Browning and Bill Hines are going to go steady. How about it, Marty and Bill? Is it yes or no? Edgie and Pralle seem to have the real thing what with special air-mails and the Delta Taus taking her out every night to keep her out of mis- chief while the hero is out of town. Jim Harris, the blond Clark Gable, certainly seems to like the Pi Phi freshmen. Mary Martha Carson is the fourth he ' s dated this year. Frank Wilson, of dancing fame, ap- parently goes in for girls who are going steady. First it was Pat Eisenhower, then Mary Guild asked him for a date, and recently we have seen him me- andering around the campus with Sayles. We wonder if Shockley, his love of this fall, will enter the compe- tition now that she is going steady? Steak fries are again the most popu- lar form of entertainment. Seen at Brown ' s Grove recently were Lewis, Chambers Jean Perry, Alex Mitch Mitchell, Marguerite Myers and a few others. They provided music for the rest of the steak-friers. The Phi Delta Phis also provided a bit of musical entertainment, but of a different kind theirs resembled more the discordant notes of a drunken serenade. Couples we like Coats-Stratton, Banks-Carson, Atwater-Tinklepaugh, Harbaugh-McLaughlin, D. Hoffman- Thomason, Springer-Townsend, Hurd- Brown, Fritz-Johnson, Shockley-Udell. Stukey and Burch think they could have a pretty clubby picnic any day now, what with both of them dating E. Morse, Paul Morse, Bob Houk, Bob Hunt, and Johnny Begert.

Practically all the characters talk like a Sioux City debutante who has just read Noel Coward. But this, if it be a fault, should be bid up to the account of Mr. Philip Barry, the author. Or perhaps it should not. Spring Dance , we understand, was written originally by two college girls, and then turned over to Mr. Barry, who injected a few theatrical cricks into the manuscript and had it produced. The show played briefly and ceased. Vitex Vitaman D Milk Helps Build Strong Bones and Sound Teeth Bottled by LAWRENCE SANITARY MILK ICE CREAM CO. PHONE 696 FOOT OF VT. ST. The plot of Spring Dance runs something like this. Alex Benson dopes that Sam Thatcher will come to her college ' s spring dance and pro- pose. Sam has other ideas. Influenced by The Lippincott, demon photo- grapher, he plans to quit college and travel, picking up a little dope on world problems and their solutions, largely in Russia. Alex admits defeat, but her dormitory pals gang up on Sam and finally worry him into marrying Alex. Roberta Cook played Alex Benson. We said some nice things about Miss Cook lats fall when she had the lead in Beggar On Horseback . They still hold good, or even better. Bill Fey made his first major dramatic appear- ance as Sam Thatcher; and he did a more than adequate job, though we ' d like so much to believe that college seniors are not universally as fat-headed as Sam. Then there were the Gold -Dust Twins, as Messrs. Joseph Myers and James McComb Bradfield as known locally. The boys played respectively The Lippincott, photographer and misogynist par excellence, and John Hatton, known as Hat , non-photo- grapher and non-misogynist. They did noble work.

The other member jf the firm, Mr. Bradfield, was equally satisfactory. His all-too-short love scene with Frances Fenn (played by Margaret Ramage) was completely charming. And that brings us to the female end of the cast. Miss Ramage, with her portrayal of the completely unintel- lectual freshman who just didn ' t know what to think of love was delightful. If you and you and you tough guys didn ' t respond emotionally when she went through her routine for alluring Mr. Bradfield, we give you up. You ought to be sentenced to see three super-western movies every Saturday night. Of course there was drama within the drama when Betty Butcher, who has the most unfortunate luck on the campus, who was cast to play Mady Platt, injured her back in a rehearsal just three or four days before the open- ing night. Betty in the hospital, Di- rector Crafton searched frantically for someone to take her place. Finally he hit upon Betty Smith, and what a find she turned out to be! She did the heroic task of learning a major part in four days, and when the performance came around she made the most of every line. She played Mady with the ease and finesse of months of practice. Then Betty Butcher got out of the hospital and Betty Smith insisted she take the part on the last night. So Butcher took her rightful place on the last night, and Smith ushered for her. Butcher ' s Mady was a different in- terpretation of the part, but equally charming and effective. High praises go to both girls who were real troupers, and to the rest of the cast who had to work under the nervous tension of never being quite sure whether a beautiful brownette or a beautiful bru- nette would appear when they called for Mady Platt.

She played the very, very dumb but voluble Sally Prescott, and wowed the paying customers no little bit. We thought her French both remarkable and very Coatsian, if you see what we mean. It occurred to us, as we watched the rather tentative love scene between Mr. Myers and Miss Coats in the first act, that here was a genuine starring combination. We can ' t think of anything much more hilarious than Joe Myers ogling Miss Coats and vice versa and evidently the audience thought so too. Maribeth Schreiber, lately Queen Elizabeth, portrayed Kate McKim, the intellectual and non-romantic gal who fell for a biology professor very madly. And by the way, Dave Conderman, who played the professor, did much with his part, though we didn ' t care too much for that mustache. Most effective line of the play: Miss Ramage ' s meaningless catchword : Save me the neck . It sounded as good as thou know ' st the mask of night ... the way she delivered it. Most remarkable stance: that of Lucille Gaynor as Mildred the maid. We wonder if Miss Gaynor had really been riding a mustang, or if she was just acting. Most effective bit: Miss Ernestine Hodge, as the house mother, looking for her young charges with a plaintive ' Girruls! Girruls! Thing that amused us most: Joe Myers as the foiled villian, popping onto the stage and screaming: Who locked that pantry door? For your information, it was Miss Coats. Our favorite descriptive line: occurs when Don Dixon and Earl Porter, as two brash young fellers from Prince- ton, barge into the girls ' drawing room, and the inevitable Coats greets Don as ' my Venetian blend . Boy, we ' ve been waiting years for that line!

He was gone a week during Chr istmas holidays and upon his return presented a lengthy report of conclusions reached concerning the future of the A.M.S. Two Council propositions were slapped squarely on the face by Doris Stockwell ' s W.S.G.A. The first was a petition to the University senate for a day of grace between the end of classes and the first day of final exami- nations. Although the Council was unanimously for the proposal, the women not only turned it down, but proposed a substitute measure, actually the goal the M.S.C. were guiding to- ward, which may have been accepted before these lines hit you in the eye. The second instance of inter-council horn locking was when someone dis- covered a fund of $1200 in the activi- ties account and when it was decided to spend it for intramurals.

The body established a student loan fund and set up a $50 reward for information leading to con- viction of anyone who painted on the Campus. Plans have been drawn up for the establishment of a faculty-student board to provide a means of common understanding between the students and faculty; for opening the library on Sunday evenings and for accumulation of funds for the expansion of Union building facilities. The W.S.G.A. had not acted upon these issues at the time of printing. In looking back on the past year, three things stand out as unquestion- able features of the retiring Council. First is the wave of ineligibilities and turnover in M.S.C positions. No less than nine new members have been in- stalled including freshman president, two replacements for resigned mem- bers, and six representatives to fill vacancies left by ineligibilities. Second, is the smoothness of Council workings and the complete lack of parry strife. Thirdly is the fact that this year is the last for the old election method. A new system takes command with the recent election and will continue into future years. Social (Continued from page 272) into the room at any moment. Even the queens of old could not surpass the Kansas ladies in waiting, such as the beauteous Mary Martha Carson and Doris Johnson, she of the innocent eyes. The Owl Screech turned out to be an harmonious wail Saturday night with Red Blackburn blending in sweetly- and hotly. Even Bob Faucett came out of hibernation to romp around the floor awhile with his Pi Phi mate, Eleanor Cavert, and that alone lends some distinctiveness to the dance. Friday, February 11, brought a varsity and a Delta Tau Delta party, with the latter emerging victorious. Dinky Ramage and Catherine Ehrke did their share to add zest to the varsity, while fascinating Fred Pralle gave the dollies a thrill at the Delt house. He had difficulty finding enough time to devote to his own date with so many Hill damsels hounding him so unmercifully. Kappa Alpha Theta and Kappa Sigma took their chances on Saturday and Dorothy Fritz didn ' t know just where to go or when. The Theta ' s turned the Union ballroom into a Fifth avenue penthouse, and just to insure a good attendance gave chapter bids to three fraternities. Red Black- burn supplied the music there, while Louis Kuhn made the dinner at the Kappa Sig house more palatable with his music during the various courses. The following Friday was given over to the Hobnail Hop, gotten off in typical Engineer style. The boys had fashioned their decorations carefully and made sure that all would be in accord by electing a fitting queen, Ro- berta Cook, fresh from a successful dramatic presentation. Saturday night raised a question in many a girl ' s mind. What party shall I go to? The boys of Delta Chi held forth, the boys of Sigma Nu held forth, the boys of Sigma Phi Epsilon held forth, likewise the boys of Phi Gamma Delta. The great Pig Dinner was its usual riotous self at the Phi Gam house, which means that it was good, principally due to the eight- course dinner and to the hard work of the pledges on the decorations. Sweet and innocent Dorothy Jones romped off with the major prize of the eve- ning the pig ' s tail. The W.S.G.A., feeling the need for a bit of ready cash, renewed its annual carnival on Friday, February 25, and a happy renewal it was.

The Chi Omega bar and the Theta Baby show attracted the greatest attention from the curious males, and even some consternation. If you don ' t believe it, ask Patty Hello Daddy Bishop. Alpha Tau Omega and Pi Kappa Alpha joined in on the double party idea Saturday night to good advantage in the Union ballroom. With two pins hanging out there was a double motive for attending as far as the girls were concerned. Even the astute Betty Barnes abandoned her medic books in the interests of Bob Wilkins to revel in the festivities. Paul Kihm offered an added incen- tive to the varsity on March 4 when he gave away several tickets for the Junior Prom on the following weekend. O. J. Connell magnanimously squired Mary K. Lattner to the dance for the benefit of those who felt in need of a good fast whirl terminated by a jolt- ing stop in someone else ' s ribs. But then we all must have our little jokes. The Pan-Hel party came Saturday night and, as per custom, was im- mensely enjoyed by all. The pins or crests of the various fraternities were hung around the walls, even down to the ill-famed pin of Theta Nu Epsilon. A formal dance, noticeably lacking in bothersome freshmen who insist on cutting, there was nothing out of place. Every last strain of Red Blackburn ' s music seemed appropriate to the oc- casion. In short, it was swellegant. Mai Hallett dropped into town Fri- day night and left town Saturday.

It was a grand party. The novelties offered by th e orchestra brought an approving round of applause from the dancers, particu- larly, when the bass player, with ri- diculous obesity, sang, danced, and cast disgusted looks in the direction of his leader. The surrounding territory was apparently drained of its populace, for new and alluring faces were seen at every turn. Saturday night brought another round of parties as the Acacia ' s and Theta Tau ' s kept up the merry pace. With orange flood lights shining on the Acacia house and Marvin Cox and Dick Martin within, frivolity was the byword. In the Union building, the Theta Tau ' s forgot their gadgets and slide rules for a few hours and fur- nished their dates with a chance to sidle up to a well stocked bar well stocked with the best punch in these parts. Even Proctor Ritchie and Maxyne Miller dared sample a sip or two. And so we must close, for that ' s all there is, there ain ' t no more. With spring in the immediate offing, the panics should become more colorful than ever, both as concerns decorations and girls. Though we make no at- tempt at prognostication, spring is the time for beauty and a brilliant party the place to see it. Memorial fyftu (Continued from page 267) during holiday and summer seasons, it may be utilized by local organizations of townspeople. Thus, each year, the Lawrence police department holds its annual policeman ' s ball at the Union, between semesters. Many famous dance orchestras have played at all school parties in the ball- room. Among them are Anson Weeks, Ben Pollack, Fletcher Henderson, Bob Crosby, Joe Benuti, 300-pound Jack Crawford, and Leonard Keller. The job of contracting with orchestras such as these falls to the Union dance man- ager, and the class dance manager. No ordinary task is dance managing; one must know seemingly thousands of in- Let ' s All go to Billy Hutson ' s Eldridge and get a good cup of nickel coffee . . . then we ' ll plan our next party with him.

Record crowd in the Unicn ballroom was at the Chancellor ' s reception last year when almost two thousand dancers were counted. Main source of the Union ' s operat- ing income is derived from the fountain, rendevouz of classcutters, cokers, and intermission sippers. Seat of many a bubbling romance, the fountain, or Grill Room, which was to have been its name, serves three to five thousand students and faculty members every week. Staffed by students who work part-time, the fountain offers a complete choice of lighter foods and drinks at prices far below those charged at many college union buildings. Its arrangement was planned for utility rather than effect, and it can hold, rather comfortably, about sixty-five or seventy students. Next to the fountain are the recre- ation rooms, several offices, and the book exchange. The men ' s play room, The surest way to please a family, to keep every one in good humor, is to serve good food from soup to coffee.

The Sour Owl, student humor publi- cation maintains its offices in the base- ment of the Union, paying a nominal sum, as does the WSGA book exchange and the YMCA. And the offices of the Jajhawker Magazine are also housed in the Unicn. Above the fountain and recreation rooms, is the cafeteria. Here hundreds of students and faculty members eat lunch, rather than walk down the hill. Tasty combinations are supervised con- stantly by Hermina Zipple, director of University food research. Private din- ing rooms afford a place for special dinners and banquets of moderate size, adjoining the cafeteria. Kitchen facili- ties will permit banquets of a size up to approximately a thousand. In the main lounging rooms on the Oread level of the building, are to be found means for less exhausting recre- ition. Current copies of popular maga- zines are available, as well as many newspapers. One can delve seriously in- to world problems discussed in Current History magazine, or amuse himself with less thought-provoking periodi- cals such as the New Yorker.

Debates are frequently held there, sponsored by Campus political organizations, literary and discussion groups, and often bringing well-known speakers to the University. On the top level is the Pine Room, official headquarters of the Men ' s Stu- dent Council, and the Women ' s Self Governing Association. It is also uti- lized by University political organi- zations, panhellenic meetings, and for meetings of the University Senate. Overlooking the ballroom, it is also an ideal point of vantage whence to view milling throngs of dancers below. Not to be forgotten are the human beings who personalize the Union the scores who check your hat or serve your food or draw your coke, and even more especially those who direct and unify this huge, ungainly enterprise. Student manager is Jack Townsend, former Business Manager of the Jayhawker. Taking the place of experienced Bill Cochrane, Jack has done a highly cred- ible job in this, his first year. He com- bines shrewdness and business ability with ingratinating personality and am- bition for the Union. Miss Hermina Zipple, Director of Foods, also acts as general supervisor and adviser. Truly remarkable is her efficiency. It is well known among her subordinates that she plays no favorites, allows no per- sonal feelings to enter her business re- lationships, and tolerates no shoddiness. The result is a uniformly high standard in everything with which she is con- nected. The Union was built on a pay-as- you-go basis. It hasn ' t been so long, in fact, since the ballroom was converted When You Think of Shoe Rebuilding Think of OYLER ' S Shoe Shop Corner 14th Ohio St. PHONE 1996J from a barren, brick-and-plaster- smeared, barnlike hall, with sharp- edged walls and pillars jutting angrily into the unsuspecting elbows of for- mally attired dancers. It has only been recently that the Pine Room was com- pleted to afford a much-needed meeting room. And there is still a great ex- panse of unfinished space above the east end of the ballroom, now used for storage. With plans formulated to convert that into more lounging and meeting rooms as the money is avail- able, the Union structure, as it stands, will be completely ulilized. Then will it be time to consider the enlarging of the building to conform to the original plans. This calls for an extension of the building north- ward, enlarging the ballroom and pro- viding additional space for the lounge, and for more meeting rooms and re- creation space. These plans still stand upon clouds, but if the demands made upon the Union facilities continue to increase at the present rate, the clouds may assume a more concrete structure, and K.U.

At the head of the list are the candy, pop, and cigaret concessions. Perhaps not so prosperous, but fortunate are those who monthly collect a certain per cent of the gross receipts from firms having house monopolies on cleaning, laundry, gasoline, and others. To anyone knowing the facts, that any should think that the University is a money-school is a joke a tragic one, despite the humorous aspects of some student jobs. But to the many who, in the words of the once popular song, are working our way through college to get a lot of knowledge, these jobs serve as a means toward an end which they believe is well worth achieving. So to them a big bouquet. (Continued from page 269 a howl of protest if met elsewhere. But that ' s one thing about batching there ' s no one to blame but yourself.

These are the Missouri Valley Decathlon, which has become an established part of the Kansas Rekys, and the 3000 meter steeplechase. From this competition have come the Olympic Decathlon champions of 1932 and of 1936. The Kansas Relays Decathlon in inter- Olympic years, keeps alive the keen interest in this competition. Associated with the Kansas Relays in the minds of sports fans is the twenty-fourth annual K.U. Inter- scholastic Meet. This meet annually attracts approximately 1800 athletes, making it the largest of its kind in Kansas. Important to the student spectators and sororities is the selecting of the Relays Queen, Isabelle Bash last year. So when April 23 rolls around we ' ll all be out there sitting in the sun to see who this year ' s will be. . f l. f3 (Continued from page 263) What Don Ebling was to that foot- ball game, so was George Golay to this game of basketball. Though it was the consistent good work of Fred Pra lle, along with that of Sylv Schmidt, Dick Harp, and Don Ebling which in the long run carried the Jay- hawkers to another title, it was the ability of Golay to come through when the going got tough that pulled them over the hump. Potentially one of the best forwards in the conference, Golay had heretofore given fans little evidence that he was to become, along with Pralle, the fair-haired boy in the Kansas attack. He was decidedly off- form until this spot in the season, but he picked a good time to show what he could do. He wasn ' t inserted until the last 17 minutes of the second half, but during that time gathered ten points. Doctor Allen was so overjoyed at the end of the game that he grabbed George and planted a kiss on his red, perspiring face. Particularly outstand- ing, too, were Pralle, Harp and Bruce Reid, the latter celebrating his first start in a Kansas game by collecting eight points. After tripping Iowa State at Ames, the Jayhawkers eked out a 50-47 win over Nebraska ' s Cornhuskers. The Huskers waged equally as fierce a battle as the Boy Scats, due mostly to their desire to lick Kansas in their last game and the added incentive of an attempt to lighten the withheld news to one of their stars of the death of his brother. Gripping one another ' s hands in the huddle before the game, the Huskers re-ally had something to work for; and the tears of Bob Parsons after the game is evidence to that. Pralle rang the bell for fourteen points, and Harp and Ebling for nine each. Golay continued his role of a clutch shooter, though in for only fourteen minutes, when he iced the nip and tuck game with two goals at the close bringing his total for the night to ten. The rout of Missouri was largely the most complete and thrilling in- dividual demonstration of the highest- scoring guard in Kansas and Big Six hitsory. Fred Pralle, three times all- conference, and a sure bet for anyone ' s All-American this year, entered the game knowing he needed 21 points to become high scorer of the Big Six. Aware, too, of this fact were 3,500 fans. But what would make the aver- age player nervous, only made Fred Pralle drive and fight all the harder. Starting slowly Fred had eleven points at half-time, knew then that the scoring lead was within his grasp. But those last eleven points were harder to get than he had probably ever dreamed. For eight minutes in the second half, he didn ' t score, but when he finally got started again, it seemed as though everyone knew the ultimate answer though the climax was a long way off. Within a few points of his goal, team mates began feeding Fred as the crowd called for him to shoot. When his twenty-second point swished the netting, Fred Pralle was through for Kansas. 3,500 fans arose to a man to cheer the player to whom was due, more than any other, Kansas ' thirteenth championship. Gone also for next year is Sylv Schmidt, steady quarterback and feeder. Back will be Harp and Ebling, both of whose all-around fine play contributed much to this year ' s team; also Golay, Corlis, Reid, Johnson, Flo- rell, and all the rest. With seventeen freshman numeral winners, including Engleman, Miller, and Bob Allen, to pick from, the fourteenth in Kansas ' s long list of championships is not im- probable.

The thing works on the principle of a city park picnic table and is every bit as comfortable. But with the food, the service, the recorded music and the swell crowds being what they are, who minds a little thing like leaning back on infinity. After all, the thing IS clubby. Add note: There are also many booths of the ordinary variety. We ' ve had to duck flying base- balls getting in and out of Brick ' s ever since the pledges everywhere started cultivating dandelions this spring. The boys who play catch there ought to play out in the street where they ' ll get run over. Then they won ' t endanger the lives and limbs of several hundred boys and girls who make Brick ' s their stamping ground. But personally, we ' d duck a baseball any time to get some of that fresh home-made ice cream that Brick ' s has been featuring all year. And summer school students won ' t lose any weight if they join the mob to eat there. Any traffic jam you see down on W. 9th street is probably caused by hill natives who are making use of the one-honk curb service at the Hillside Pharmacy. Which re- minds us that in a few short months we ' ll have another crop of pledges up here who will sneak- down to the Hillside for a coke when they are supposed to be in the Library studying. K. U.

Necklines are very bare, often with the omission of s h o u 1 d er straps. Printed piques, and other cottons are also popular for spring and summer wear. The silhouette is more or less constant being fitted to the waist then showing extreme fullness. The fashions for evening date to the romantic period of ruffled petticoats, flounces, yards of lace and velvet ribbon. The hair too must correspond with the period, as shown in the intricate dress piled high with many curls and rolls. Flowers, jewels, plumes, and filmy veils adorn the head at night.

Daytime summer clothes are extremely casual and simple. Dirndl, slacks, and short and skirt combi- nation are the ever popular types; tailored to per- fection, they give finesse to a tennis match or golf game. Street wear too is confined to the simple lines as seen in the shirt waist dress and similiar types. The bias pleated skirt appeared in early spring and shows promise of carrying into the summer. Colors are more definite than last season. Prints are larger and brighter, frequently done in desert colors; burnt orange, turquoise, and yellow. The triad of colors on one dress is better than one or two; popular combinations are; red white and blue, turquoise, dubonnet and white, and beige green, and orange. L ittle Girl dresses of batiste and dotted swiss are frequently trimmed with pleated organdy collars and cuffs. Shoes are flat-soled for sport wear, frequently in colored calf to match the costume. For afternoon wear, they are very cut out in the toes and heels. This is the season for color in accessories. Shoes are smartest when they reflect the brightest hue in the costume. Skarfs are the most practical head covering for sport wear. Headbands in colors are convenient for riding in rumble-seats and at the same time are in the height of fashion. For dress occasions, the big hat is ever popular. This year, they will probably be decorated with long streamers, and large bunches of flowers, to correspond with the romantic clothes of 1938.

The question that most people are asking themselves is did I pick my wardrobe right and what will I buy for the summer and fall? Charley Radcliff, Ober ' s expert, told us some things about the situation and we picked up a few ideas of our own at the social functions on the Hill and around the campus. Shoes this year make a very in- teresting subject. The local boot- eries say that brown and white has been the big seller. Plain whites have fallen off considerably since last year and the sale of black and whites is practically nil. There is one very recent shoe that has come into great favor during the last few weeks. That is the very modern skiff shoe with box toes and wedge rubber soles. The upper is made of Swiss veal. Bob Riederer at the Delt lodge has a pair of ' em in case you ' re interested. The single breasted, three but- ton, single vented back coat is still very much with us and will be the thing next fall again. Colors that are universal favorites seem to be off greens, off blues, grays and browns. Herringbone is probably the most popular weave. Tropical worsted and gabardine still sell well, although, as the summer months approach, Nor-east cloth and palm beach are being picked by the majority of our well clad he ' s.

The day when college men scorned the idea of wearing hats has passed. Today, a hat is a must in one ' s wardrobe. This Spring has seen the felt brims grow wider and wider, until they now accomplish one of the major purposes of a hat to keep the sun out of one ' s eyes. Sennet weaves and bright bands are char- acteristic. The summer straws, which the business school seniors have come out with, are of the sailor type. The Spring formal dress is still a major worry to most of the Hill ' s male population. The local haber- dasheries have an answer to the the problem in an inexpensive way. New rolled collared coats in white, gray and very light brown are reasonable in price. Maroon and dark green ties are being worn almost exclusively. Studs, hand- kerchiefs and cuff links are chosen so they match the color of the tie. Next fall, you can expect to see a lot more tweed in the single breasted, three button model. At the present, this coat is chosen by 80% of the buyers at the Palace, Carl ' s and Ober ' s. The Sport back is almost entirely gone now and it will be in very few of the models next year.

THIS IS a defense of unhistorical historians. The other day we summoned up all the courage we could muster and looked back to see what, if anything, had really educated us in college. And as we started to think, we noticed that our highly authoritative college history text- book and Hendrick Van Loon ' s Story of Mankind stood side by side on our desk. Then it slowly dawned on us that the latter had really educated us more than the former and it horrified us too, because the textbook author was a Great Authority, and VanLoon is a genial Dutchman writing for children. It occurred to us that when VanLoon drew a great, en- ormous, stately hall, with four tiny figures almost lost in it as they huddled over a little table in the center, and labelled it The Con- gress of Vienna, he told us more about the Congress of Vienna than had the Great Authority in two detailed chapters. And VanLoon ' s chapter on Napoleon perhaps won ' t be used as a source for later and duller historians, as the Great Authority ' s probably will, but it made chills run up and down our spine, and we wept as we read it. But as we sat there it kind of em- barrassed us to have gone to col- lege for four year ' s and still admit we were educated most by un- historical historians. Then we remembered that a man whose opinion we respect ex- tremely told us before we came to college that our greatest and longest-remembered education would come, not from books, nor from courses of study, but from the great minds and great per- sonalities with which we came in contact. We thought then that he meant the Eminent Authorities, the Experts In Their Field, who have contributed to their realms of knowledge through their own feverish research. Now we know that he didn ' t mean that at all. He meant the unhistorical historians in every field. It all came to us as we sat there reviewing our so- called education. We were really educated by a Geology teacher who was somewhat of a flop at teaching us the characteristics of the trilo- bite, but who made us see how much fun it is to be able to pick up a rock from any roadside and tell what it ' s made of, how old it is, where it was formed, how it got where it is now. We were edu- cated by a great personality who didn ' t do such a good job of teach- ing us Sociology, but whose des- cription of the sewage system of Chicago we shall never forget. We have learned more sincere appreci- ation of art and music and formed more of a philosophy of life be- tween spasms of laughter in Al- len Crafton ' s Introduction to the Theater class than in all our aesthetic and philosophical courses put together. People are always talking of Great Authorities as Great Teach- ers. We doubt that. Great Auth- orities have to be too much ab- sorbed in their subject to be Great Teachers. Watch one before a classroom some time; he won ' t be having much fun. But the teachers who have educated us have had a tremendous lot of fun doing it. Our best teachers have been we hope this is not heresy- people who liked to teach. In short, we think perhaps the uni- versity administrations everywhere should isolate all their famous re- search workers some place far away and turn teaching over to teachers. - THE JAYH WKER (I ORGANIZATIONS in those days took impressive pictures.

Even as late as 1927 the Mortar Board didn ' t look as snappy as they might. In the 1918 book, all the division pages had something to do with war, glorious or amusing. We went cute in 1923 with the Sorority division page. For a modern division page, see page 374. FEATURES included, until recent years, inevitable snapshot pages with art work captions like this 1914 Kappa page. This cartoon of a 1927 Pi Phi wowed them then. Notable is the fact that at least the clothes have changed. THE JAY HAWKER uAed to- take a paae, psiouMy, about the time William Attest While latatthe by TOM YOE NO EXCEPTION has been the Jayhau ' ker to the old adage that time changes everything. For this issue of the Jayhau ' ker has come a long way since the first of its 49 predecessors, the Hierophantes, was published in 1874. This 40-page leaflet, published Theta Pi and I.C. Sorosis was so small that it could be carried in one ' s pocket. Apparently spotted was the financial history of early annuals, for many gaps appeared until 1895. Next attempt was the 110 page Kansas Kikkabe of 1882. And the faculty throttled its attempt to the extent of removing three pages of uncomplimentary quips about the professors. Noted principally for its art work consisting of etchings of the buildings and full-breasted Greek goddesses for the fraternity pages, the Kansas Cyclone hit for its one and only appearance. Fol- lowing the 1884 Cicada there was no book until the Helianthus of 1889. Perhaps its most noteworthy- feature was that William Allen White edited it. First pretentious book was the Quiver a of 1893 and equally pre- tentious was its deficit. A depres- sion book was the Annus Mirabilis of 1895. Little more than a calen- dar of University history, it can hardly be called an annual. Of im- portance is the pompous sounding Senior Annual of the Class of ' 97 for it marked the introduction of individual senior pictures. From the first page peers the face of H. P. Cady and later a picture of L. N. Flint, both now veterans of the University faculty. One-hundred- word revealing paragraphs accom- panied each picture. A field day for student artists was the University That Kansas Built in 1898. Expensive paper and tissue paper inserts imparted a high brow effect. The 1899 Oread and 1900 Galaxy introduced color on a small scale. All of these early annuals, about half of which featured short bind- ing, had small pages. Type was small and hard to read. Frequently some humor would creep into the multi-paged attempts at short stories and both lyrical and epic poetry. Humorous to us are some of the advertisements Leis Dan- delion Tonic, the great blood puri- fier, cures all; Crucial Dyspepsia Tablets. Also queer were organi- zation names such as the Graceful Grasshopper Glee Club, Terpsicho- rean Trippers, and the Kangaroo Kickers. Jayhau ' ker history proper began in 1901 when the first book to bear that name came out. Fra- ternity and sorority pages of the first decade of the century carried such information as the yell, motto, colors and badge as well as pictures. Sometimes pictures of the Oratorial Association would be incongruously placed under a drawing of women basketball (Continued on page 404) The Joyhawker has changed and the campus has changed, but Spring on the Hill is the same as it was fifty years ago, and especially Spring at Pot- ter ' s Lake. 346 THE JAYHAWKER mi m 1918 Photo by Hixon Phoco br Hixoa LAWRENCE KAPPAALPHATHETA SOPHOMORE Photo by Hixon r 1 1 cnm MACKSVILLE I KAPPA ALPHA THETA KANSAS CITY ALPHA CHI OMEGA KANSAS CITY KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA 32 THE JAYHAWKER by JIM ROBERTSON IWH EN Sigma Delta Chi, ! I journalism ' s national hon- orary fraternity, first con- ceived the idea of presenting a musical review some of the members were a bit dubious as to its probable success. It seems that in the memories of a few there lingered un- pleasant recollections of un- receptive Hill audiences which had tossed pennies in the general direction of the stage at similar reviews. So when Producer Jim Coleman set out to produce a hit show the first thing he did was gather about himself an entertainment trust Rolla Knuckles, director; Red Blackburn, music director, and Ross Robertson, vocal director; with Martin Maloney doing the continuity. All of the songs used in the show were to be written by Hill song writers, and they were chosen well ahead of time. Work on the show really got under way the week after Christ- mas vacation when the chorus beauties were picked. Director Rolla Knuckles, dressed in slacks, buckle shoes, polka-dot scarf and dark glasses (He really looked quite Hollywoodish) was on hand to help select them. From the time they were chosen, the girls rehearsed thrice weekly under Dance Director Jayne Coats. For further information, re- garding chorus rehearsals see Shin Columnist Virgil Mitchell who never missed one. In the meantime stage settings were being prepared by Scenery Artists Carol Johnson, Thurman Kepner, Dick Harwood, and Bill Oliver. That Law Barn, complete with swinging doors, for the Ele- phant Walk scene was a master- piece. Originally scheduled for a two day run starting April 5, Spring Swing played to capacity audi- ences three nights, in spite of a blizzard. And the audiences that stood and applauded when the cur- tain fell on the finale little realized the months of preparation it took to present a show that lasted only two hours. The cast wasn ' t dis- missed from the final dress re- hearsal until 2:30 a.m. The Kansan writer who said Spring Swing is unfair to critics will never write truer words. To say that one number was better than any other would be impos- sible. Unlike most musicals, the show did not depend on an anemic plot to hold the acts together. The danc- ing chorus gave it a good send-off in costumes that had squeezed by the censors, and more than one number from them would have met with approval. Working in front of the cur- tain, the second act was the darn- dest array of dead pan comics the Hill has yet discovered. Calling themselves the Silent Four, Lu- cille Gaynor, Joe Meyers, Ernest Leeves, and Jack Nelson really had something different in the way of comedy. Then Ernest Sanders and Tildie Fowler unravelled the audience (Continued on page 403) By the time the finale began, above, the audience was wildly enthusiastic and weak from laughing. On the opposite page, Glenda Speakman sparkles with Gene Haughey, Fen Durand, and Clyde Smith. Both shots by Tom Bowlus. Photo by Duke D ' Ambra. Write-up by Richard MacCann IT seems they were writing out delegate cards for I one of those state Republican conventions. One of the men due to arrive was an O ' Riley, apparently unblessed with a Christian name. A politician with- out a first name was unthinkable, so they filled the blank with Spike and history was made. With that exception, perhaps, this O ' Riley fellow ' s own history has been self-made. Throughout high school and university 100 per cent self-supporting and he received Sigma Chi ' s Chandler award as high man in university activities. Syracuse (Kansas) high school saw him on the debate team, president of Epworth League, president of the student body and working. For two years he taught government and history in state schools, then packed up and left for Lawrence. K.U. has seen him in the glee club (president now), Y.M.C.A., Jayhawker editorial staff, Owl society and working. The political story: secretary Pachacamac party, elected treasurer M.S.C., member Young Republican Club. Then there were miscellaneous committees, talks, jobs. Business school preparation sends him to a Kansas City position next year, but he ' ll study law meanwhile. His hobbies are speech, music ( he does a Bob Burns ) , and politics and the latter clearly beckons. He has a picture of Lincoln above his desk. MAY 1938 355 1 ] betwe en , they mute a beu-dau, OHO, yet wake by JIM SUSSEX NO, I ' M NOT a member of a fra- ternity and I dont live at a boarding- house you may hear any one of some 50-odd boys on the Hill making this emphatic explanation to a curious ques- tion. They are the fifty who feel it be- yond their means or unsuitable to their needs to join a frat, but who want more out of their college life than could be afforded by living at a boarding- house. Fraternity men sometimes have the quaint idea that they are the only ones on the Hill who enjoy those activities generally covered by the term collegi- ate . The boys in the semi-organized houses are very active in Hill affairs; almost to a man they have a 2.5 grade- point average; they are members of Hill organizations, one house boasting five of the twenty-three members elec- ted this spring to the Owl Society, a feat which few frats have been able to boast. But the man in the boarding-house is often active in politics, dramatics, and general activities too. Where then does a semi-organized house differ from a boarding-house? Esprit de corps is the answer. The gang is one big family, and let the outsider beware. Each of the groups has built up a powerful house spirit by exactly the same means used by fraternities that of doing things together. 1200 Tennessee and 1011 Indiana, under their rather appropriate title of Hell-hounds enter teams in intra- mural athletic competition. Last year the Hell-hounds won the tennis and this year went to the quarter-finals in basketball. This same spirit has carried on from the purely athletic to the social. Steak fries and an occasional party are planned with a zest perhaps lacking in an organization where the arrange- ments are all made by committees. Life in the house between games and parties is that of extreme freedom. No class distinctions are drawn, except in the case of the freshmen who must needs answer the phone and clean one house ' s ill-gotten collection of salt-shakers. The pre-lunch, post-lunch and ditto- dinner contract games are a ritual that some perform as regularly as going to the meal itself. Often the game lasts until too late to get lessons, but more often the quartet joins the bunch up- stairs bulling about success, President Roosevelt, and girls. The few who don ' t feel quite up to this retire to the yard to limber up the ol ' soupbone or stretch their legs on the front steps. A third contingent run, jump, and slide downstairs in the nightly rush to make the show before seven. No, the schedule is not invariable. Wednesdays sees a first-come, first- served run on the bath-tubs and the self-styled socialites of the bunch truck on down to the midweek. The week- end sees all-night orgies of poker play- ing, no one worrying about losing, be- cause everything goes on the books till the first. Every man has his column in the ledger whether he plays or not, just in case he decides to help in the re- distribution of the wealth . Doing things together entails a cer- tain amount of house funds, and a small house bill, never over a dollar, covers telephone bills, Kansan, and ath- letic equipment. House meetings are held as the need arises, and they are presided over by one man who acts as the official representative of the group when necessary, and who is responsible for getting the desired personnel the next year. Just as there is a strong feeling for the house as a whole, there are strong bonds of attachment between each man and every other a situation amounting to having fourteen room- mates instead of one. Individual problems become house problems, and failures and successes are shared alike. Upon this simple bit of philosophy rests the success these houses have en- joyed the past half-dozen years. The worth of the system has been proved by the present houses, and will be tested in the future by those like them. Perhaps at some time the Uni- versity of Kansas need not worry about boarding house regulations, for in its place will have evolved in its per- fected form the semi-organized house. 1011 INDIANA Third row: Laidig, Marietta, Zimmerman, Barker, Mac- Cann Second row: Feaster, Mathews, Coad, McDonald, Butler, Sullivan, Sussex Third row: Wallace, Figley, Ward, Fugitt, Meredith, Fleeson, Franks 1409 TENNESSEE Third row: Nafe, Kenneth, Nelson, Holmberg, Shrinkle, Litsch Second row.

' s reputation as one of the most politically- minded, if not politically crazy, universities in America, this year ' s M.S.C. election was a thriller. Politicians started cam- paigning earlier, worked harder, spent more money, got more excited. (See the shot above, as a Pachacamac victory is marked up on the bulletin board returns courtesy University Daily Kansan in the Union Building lounge.) Critics of our em- phasis on politics say it is wrong because no real issues are at stake. Its devotees say it ' s training in real political practices, it ' s the way to get places on the Hill, and it ' s a lot of fun. At P.S.G.L. headquarters Dan Hamilton, of political family, worked himself to exhaustion as campaign manager. Here he speaks to Jim Haughey, presidential candidate. For days handbills covered the campus like a snow, handed out by fraternity freshmen turned out of bed at dawn. Also, tags were tied in every button- hole, cards were tacked everywhere, and gas tanks of campaign cars were watered on election morning. At five o ' clock K.U. ' s biggest legal vote was sealed in its ballot-boxes by tired polls workers. As is seen above, every false move was watched with quick suspicion. Even then the parties did not trust each other. The local police were called upon to guard the boxes during the dinner hour until the counting should begin. Hopes were blasted and weeks of terrific work went for nothing for some, and for others there was nothing but joy that night in the confusion of the counting room. When the news came in downstairs that it was a Pachacamac landslide, sweeping in Blaine Grimes as M.S.C. president, his supporters went wild, lifting him to their shoulders, yelling like mad. So victory banquets were held, new members in- ducted, and bets were paid, sometimes in cash, sometimes even like this.

Wait till he plans Perfect Issues in his mind and then sees writers not quite come up to snuff, and this photo turn out hazy and that engraving plate turn out to be tilted the wrong way and finally hears the printer point out patiently that this and this and this are just not technically possible. Wait till he discovers that the editor ' s job is not to edit but to think up ideas and prod writers and oversee photographers and run back and forth between Lawrence and Topeka and Kansas (Continued on page 402) Over Editor Bob Pearson ' s desk goes every photograph, every layout, every word of copy.

In the check-up just before the out- door sports were announced, ' Kappa Kappa Gamma was again, for the fifth consecutive year, hold- ing the lead in the race for the championship cup. Corbin Hall is hot on her trail with Pi Beta Phi third, still ranking in the money. The race, however, has been a slow pull over an early Corbin Hall lead, with no really outstand- ing upsets in the winter sports. Pi Beta Phi not only retained her championship title for swim- ming, but set two new records. Mary Lewis broke the backstroke pace, while their relay team, Mary Lewis, Delos Woods, Mary Ann Edgerton, and Catherine Ehrke set a new time for this event. Out- standing swimmers selected from various teams are Mary Lewis, De- los Woods, and Mary Ann Edger- ton, Pi Phi ' s; Betty Kester and (Continued on page 405 Women ' s swimming drew crowds of screaming girls and Hill males af- fecting nonchalance. by TOM YOE Photo by TOM BOWLUS Most important of the spring sports is baseball.

Well conditioned after playing in several out-of-town tourna- ments, the Ghosts took the first and third games.

Attended generally by smaller crowds, and featuring athletes less well-known to hero-worshipping co-eds, the spring sports make up in variety what they lack in spectacle. The roar of the crowd is replaced by the crack of baseball bat and golf club, the cool splash of swimming, and the swish of the tennis racket. Loudest of the cries is play ball. Intercollegiate baseball, re- surrected last year, has drawn in- creasingly large crowds all spring, since the season opened with Kansas State in April. Coach Ralph Conger was faced this year with the common prob- lem of the amateur team, replacing capable, trained pitchers lost through graduation. In the open- ing game of the year, he had but two lettermen, George Kloppen- burg and James Brass for the all- important mound position. For- tunately, however, there appeared in the crop of new players two more possibilities in Ralph Dugan, who hurled for the Kansas City (Continued on page 407) Brandt QaAeball by DON POWELL These are the members and coach of the varsity swim- ming team, who won fourth place at Norman, but had a lot of fun.

Wearing snowshoes for the VS. government till the middle of July, he worked on a trail crew, supervised Arapaho planting experiments, led pack trains, fought forest fires. He took pictures (very good ones) and watched the birds. Doesn ' t conform to the usual conception of a Summerfield scholar ' s spare time, does it? He ' s a Fhi Beta Kappa, weighted down with six whole hours of B, also chief Sachem, and has been a member of Owl Society, a Student Council member twice, sophomore dance manager. Came from Clay Center, where he was a rah-rah-leader and photo editor of the yearbook. He used to puff at his trombone so vigorously it was constantly in need of soldering. Martin has had a determination ever since he can remember to be a doctor. He ' ll go to St. Louis ' Washington University on a scholarship. Likes to play bridge, ride horseback, date good dancers, read German verse and, above all, books about birds. MEET TOPEKA ' S original Snow White.

The climax of an excellent seas- on of dramatic productions came on the KU campus when the Kansas Players presented Maxwell Anderson ' s tragedy in Verse: Winterset . Congratulations are certainly due to everyone connected with the presentation of Winterset - and that includes the audiences who received it, for the most part, enthusiastically. Your reviewer feels in all seri- ousness that this production was a most remarkable event for two reasons: first, that a tragedy of the first water could be presented by an amateur group with anything approaching adequacy; and second, that any student audience would accept such a production, however fine. Winterset , I may say without reservation, is undoubtedly the finest tragedy to be written in Eng- lish for many decades. It is a play which makes the O ' Neill drama look like dialogue lifted from a psychiatrist ' s case-book. It is a play which embodies so much of human tragedy and human understanding that one may well call it great. To say that Anderson is a slavish copyist of Shakespeare, that he has merely revised Hamlet to pro- duce Winterset , is unjust. Strongly influenced by the Shakes- pearean drama, Anderson has pro- tragedy out of his own times. And Joe Meyers staggers in the door, an avenging Shadow, with three bullet- holes dripping blood. The story of Winterset is at least superficially a modern fable. Bartolomeo Romagna, called Mio, has seen his gentle philosopher- father executed for a murder of which he was innocent. He has become a road boy and has grown to young manhood, animated largely by the hope that someday he will be able to prove the truth of his father ' s innocence.

At the left, the Relays Queen, Elizabeth Short cen ter , and her two assistants, Betty Martin and Patti Payne, pose with Relays officials; Glen dons his shoes, and Dick Kearns poses after winning the decathlon; and the crowd pushes to buy tickets. I LENN Cunningham Day found a gloomy set- ting and an expectant crowd of 10,000 waiting to see the famous Kansas Relays, and to watch four of the greatest milers in the world. Although an unfriendly sun failed to assist the myriad middle- western athletes that were assembled in Lawrence on the 23rd of April, they broke eight Relays records. Many rushees braved the threatening skies to see Relays that gave the spectators an exciting spectacle. The big disappointment of the afternoon was the Special invitational mile run in which Archie San Romani, now running under the colors of the New York Curb Exchange, barely defeated Glenn Cun- ningham, mile king , in the slow time of 4:23 seconds. Third place went to Indiana ' s famous son, Don Lash and close behind Lash was Gene Venske, formerly of the University of Pennsylvania. San Romani repeated his act of 1937 by defeating Cun- ningham in the recent Relays. This is the first race that Glen has lost in the last twenty-two starts. This time was unusually poor for four such great milers. During the course of the afternoon, six other run- ners ran the same distance faster than the famous four . The first Relays record to be broken was the 120 yard high hurdles.

She ' s gradually dropped other activities, which covered a long list, includ- ing W.S.G.A., Y.W.C.A. cabinet, W.A.A. board, Jay Janes, Tau Sigma, rifle and fenc- ing clubs, Westminster forum. Likes bi- ography, modern poetry, even philosophy. Likes to do things differently; hates mad rushing. She expects to write some day, maybe a play. MAY 1938 369 THE LAW BARN is in its sixtieth year. Traditions that have grown up here make it different from any other school on the campus. To the feminine Jayhawkers of the hill it is simply the building where young men rest on the steps and practice whistling. To the men in the Law School it is a place of learning where honor is foremost. Future jurists of the state and nation orig- inate in Green Hall. Who knows what the venerable seniors, so proudly carrying their canes to- day, may be doing ten years from now? Certainly a chosen few will be members of law-making bodies, and others may be arguing crucial cases before the highest courts of the land. The present enrollment is one hundred and fifty-five; the graduat- ing class of sixty is one of the lar- gest in the history of the School. In the last national election a graduate of the K. U. Law School was a candidate for president of the United States. Graduates of the Law School have been instru- mental in charting the trend of legislative enactments in Kansas for half a century. The School was guided by its new dean, Frederick J. Moreau, for the first time this year. Dean Mo- reau is completing his ninth year of teaching our Law School. He has capably fulfilled his new duties this year and has won the respect and regard of the faculty and stu- dent body. The quiet democratic spirit that prevails in Green Hall is due in part to the simple dignity of the leadership provided by this friend and counseler of our law students. The Bar Journal, which is pub- lished by the Kansas State Bar As- sociation, has been guided and edited by our own school. It is a quarterly, considered one of the foremost publications of its type in the country at the present time. Dean Moreau and Prof. Lazar have contributed articles to the Journal this year and it is planned that next year each issue will contain an article by one of the law teachers. Students alone have con- tributed one hundred and forty pages of typewritten material for the forthcoming issue.

So hop onto the bandwagon as it peeps into the most secluded printable nooks and crannies of the last of the 1938 parties. Spring swept in on March 21, according to the weather man, so the Phi Psi ' s launched the first spring party of the year on March 25. The temperature was down, but the spirits were up, so white suits got the call as frivolity rang from one end of the chapter house to the other. Chuck Alexander squired Julie Heimbrook, but that was before he learned what the score was and found himself on the short end. Any- way it was a good party, with Red Blackburn sup- plying the music inspired of course by the requests of the vacillating Mary Lewis and the man moun- tain of the Kappa house, Mary Noel. On Saturday night, with the red scare at its height, the boys of Sigma Chi tossed their cares to the four winds as their Masque turned out to be a Commu- (Continued on page 403) Right, the Sigma Chi Communist party, conceded the most unusual of the year.

Well, anyway, Muse, get busy and sing! Now many people do not care for all this whing-ding which attends graduation, and I have even heard one young person remark (in cold blood, mind you) that he did not intend to take a degree such as are ladled out to you and me ( I hope ) because he wished to avoid all that mummery. But I say, Stuff and flummery! for I personally love commencement, from the Senior Breakfast coffee which is, they tell me, often very nice for diluting water, on down (or up ) to the sour notes that the faculty produce when they sing the Alma Mater, and I will exchange a volley of paper wads with anyone who says otherwise, especially if he is of a size about two sizes smaller than I am. So now, as the com- mencement speakers say, Graduates, I salute you! and may the fates be kind and give us all soft jobs with high pay. The world awaits! Maybe it ' s not waiting for us, but it ' s waiting anyway. - THE JAYHAWKER 1 J MEMBERS Henry Barker James Coleman Grant G wherd Moe Ertenson Newton Hoverstock Dean Moorhead Phil Raup Sylvester Schmidt Don Voorhees Louis Ward Emil Wienecke Martin Withers SACHEM is the honor society for senior men at Kansas. It was founded in 1910 by twelve upperclassmen, and since that time has become and re- mained the most distinctive class society at the University. Election to membership is one of the highest honors that any Jayhawker can re- ceive. Membership in Sachem is given to scholastically outstanding men who have achieved the highest rank in their particular field of endeavor, who have been real student leaders, and who have made valuable and constructive contributions to the University. Be- cause of these high ideals, only men who by actual achievement are worthy of the honor, are elected to member- ship.

In 1924 it became affili- ated with the national organization of Mortar Board Service to the University, the advancement of scholarship, cooperation with the faculty, and loyal support to every worthy activity constitute the fundamental purposes of the or- ganization.

Botany MAY 1938 393 1 ] 1 J ] Are all books fumigated before they are sold? asked one lady. Another customer wanted Clive ' s Essay on Macaulay. But all phases of the operation of tohe W.S.G.A. book exchange in the basement of the Union Building are not so humorous. Rather, it is quite businesslike, being a $5000 a year concern. This institution was founded by the W.S.G.A. over 25 years ago to act as an economical middleman for that class of students that is forced to deal in second hand books. Faculty supervision of the exchange is entrusted to the Advisory Committee of the W.S.G.A. composed of Dean Elizabeth Meguiar, Prof. Beulah Morrison, and Prof. Elsie Neuen Schwander. Manager of the exchange is Miss Edith Borden, who has held that position since 1932 and in that time learned much of books and student psychology. Popular student practice is that of marking up the price in the back of the book in hopes that a larger price might be obtained. However, it is a rare oc- casion when that trick works. For instance, mathematics books undergo the hardest use because they are always the dirtiest. Most profitable books from a standpoint of volume are those used in English and business courses; least, language books. Changed most often are texts used for sociology and history. But to avoid inconvenience to students, text book lists are checked with professors twice yearly. These up-to-the-minute lists make it possible (Continued on page 402) Not a cathedral, but only the K.U. heating plant on a spring night. 394 THE JAY HAWKER 111 ? f 9 f w 9 - M tf 9 $ .

For it is the progressive business- men who make for civic progress. To firms such as these mentioned below all of whom have been in business 50 years or more Lawrence owes much. And likewise to them for their loyal advertising sup- port, which in part has made possible 50 years of Jayhawkers, the Jayhawker owes a debt of gratitude. These have been vital forces behind both Lawrence and the Jayhawker: The earlier business still carried on by descendents is the dry-goods business, founded by L. Bullene in 1857. Burnt out at the time of the raid, Mr. Bullene restocked as soon as possible. In 1 865 the building in the 700 block, Massachusetts street, was erected by him, and housed the business for many years. In 1886, A. D. Weaver purchased the business, con- tinuing it in his own name. In 1916 a grandson, Arthur Bullene Weaver, became associated with his father. Since 1929 the firm has been located at the corner of Ninth and Massachusetts streets, purchased from the Innes estate. Eighty years for one firm is indeed an enviable record. In 1860 F. Barteldes opened up a confectionery and grocery store in the 700 block on Massachusetts street, carrying seeds as a side line. In 1874 his nephew, F. W. Barteldes, came to this country witR sufficient capital to specialize in seeds, and eliminate the other lines. Later the business was incorporated as The Barteldes Seed Co., Max Wilhelmi becom- ing a partner. The first seed catalogue ever issued in Kansas was by The Barteldes Seed Co., in 1880, printed by the Journal Steam Press in Lawrence. In 1890 the present location was purchased from Ride- nour Baker of Kansas City, Friedo and Otto Bar- teldes and Max Wilhelmi are carrying on. John Charlton founded an insurance business, with office in a basement room in the Lawrence National bank building, 1861. His son, Edward L., went into the business with his father, and now the third gene- ration, Glenn and Theodore, continue. They are lo- cated in the building built by the American Cement Plaster Co. Two years ago when celebrating their 75th anniversary, they advertised for old policies that might be extant. Much to their satisfaction three policies were turned in that had been written in 1861. Alexander Shaw came to Lawrence in 1864, join- ing his brother Matthew, in making ice-boxes. Later they opened a carpenter shop and contracting busi- ness. Many of the fine old homes, noticeably the Tisdale home, were built by Mr. Shaw. As the busi- ness increased a lumber yard was established. The son, J. W. Shaw, became a partner in 1890. He and a son-in-law, W. H. Andrews, are carrying on. In 1865, J. H. Shimmons opened up a Curiosity Shop, handling various lines, but mainly queens- ware. The business was carried on by sons, in various branches, and now a grandson has a queensware and plumbing shop in the 900 block, Massachusetts street. In 1865 Herman and Albert Menger opened a shoe business on East Eighth street. Their nephew, Otto Fischer, came into the store as clerk as the age Above, an old view of the Lawrence business district. Note Hill in distance. Below is Massachusetts St., looking each way from Eighth St. of fourteen. He and his father, Julius Fischer, who came to Lawrence in 1868, became members of the Menger Shoe Co. in 1889- The Mengers retired and the firm name was changed to Julius Fischer Son in 1892. In 1911 Otto Fischer became sole owner and purchased the store in which the business is now located.

Situated in the Heart of America, it is surrounded by a highly di- versified agricultural section where nearly all field crops grow exceed- ingly well. Its climate is the healthiest in the nation warmth, sunshine, and the clean, dry air of Kansas summers builds health. Only three months December, January, and February have temperatures be- low freezing. Lawrence has several large manufacturing plants among which are included: pipe organ factory, ready mixed flour mill, paper box factory, car seal factory, canning plant and two sizable de- hydrating plants. Other outstand- ing commercial enterprises include a large wholesale seed house, gro- cery, commission house, potato job- bing house, poultry packing plant, a large commercial printing plant, and one of the largest fraternal life insurance companies in the coun- try- Retail stores present as up-to- TOPS IN MANY THINGS, LAWRENCE IS A CITY OF EDUCATION, MANU- FACTURING AND TRADE.

The high standing of Lawrence in the retail sales list for Kansas is prima facie evidence of the alertness of her retail merchants. Quality and price must be present to attract such a volume of business. Lawrence has one daily and two weekly newspapers, of unusual coverage and public acceptance. A publishing house is connected with the daily newspaper. The Uni- versity is represented with a daily publication. Electric power is served through transmission lines from four sta- tions including a new 10,000 kilo- watt power station now under con- struction near Lawrence. A mu- nicipal water plant with unlimited supply from the Kansas River and a modern ice plant assure Law- rence citizens of these modern necessities with minimum uninter- rupted service. Exceptional educational advant- ages are offered by Lawrence through its outstanding edu- cational institutions: the Uni- versity of Kansas, first institution of learning in Kansas; Haskell In- stitute, best known and largest In- dian school in the world; Law- rence Business College, first busi- ness college established in the state; city schools unsurpassed in equipment and training. Enroll- ment at the University of Kansas is 5,000; at Haskell Institute, 680. The official 1930 population of Lawrence was 13,926 and the city has grown steadily since that time.

This is $222 greater than the average for all cities. Lawrence does not have extreme wealth or extreme poverty but 1 has the highest proportionate number of individual income taxpayers of any city in Kansas. Blending of civic and University energies in matters of community and University interests has molded a cor- porate spirit that necessarily makes for progress and achievement. (Continued from page 396) antique shoes on display in his store. Theo. Poehler came to Lawre nce in 1876. He had been in the wholesale grocery business in Burlington, Iowa. Finding two wholesale groceries estab- lished here, he decided to found a grain and retail grocery business. He erected the buildings at 900, 902 and 904 Massachusetts street. The Merchants bank, of which he was vice president, occupied the corner building and Poehlers the central building. When the Ridenour Baker Co., and Nathan Frank, wholesale grocers, moved to Kansas City, Mr. Poehler added the wholesale department. In 1889 the business was incorporated and became The Theo. Poehler Merc- antile Co. Theo. Poehler, Jr., George K Kirchoff and F. H. Smithmeyer be- came members of the firm. F. H. Smithmeyer, a son-in-law, and three generations of Kirchoffs are continu- ing the business. A. Banks founded an insurance busi- ness in 1867. His first office was in the corner room of the old Eldridge hotel Two years later he added an abstract of titles department. His son, Frank, continues the business in the First National bank building, 70 years after the founding. Of all the founders of business in Lawrence, no name conjures up sweeter memories, or is more widely known than the name Wiedemann, both in the States and abroad. I am sure every stu- dent who ever attended K.U., every visitor and resident of Lawrence has enjoyed Wiedemann ' s candy and had a dish of his ice cream. In 1868, Wil- liam Wiedemann, Sr., and his son, Wil- liam, bought the confectionery store located at about 104 East Eighth street. In 1870, when they moved to 833 Mas- sachusetts street, toys were stocked in addition to confectionery and ice cream, which at that time was all made by hand-power. While the ownership and management has changed hands several times and the business now is owned and operated by Robert Wag- staff and his son, Richard, the name Wiedemann, by request of the present owner, is retained. J. D. Bowersock came to Lawrence in 1877, bought the mill, on the Kansas river, and the dam, the only dam ever built on the Kansas river. Later he bought the foundry built by Kimbell Bros., also erected the paper mill These holdings have all been remodeled or rebuilt. The paper mill is perhaps one of the largest industries of Lawrence. The Jayhawk cartons are made by the oldest corrugated plant west of the Mississippi. The paper mill and the Lawrence Iron Works are still owned and operated by the members of the family. R. C. Jackman purchased the Bowersock Mills Power Company from the Bowersock estate, but the name Bowersock has been retained. About 50 years ago, Mr. Bowersock was made president of the Lawrence National bank, an office he held until his death. His son-in-law, Irving Hill, succeeded him and still holds the office. Dr. Charles Esterly, a young dentist, came to Lawrence in 1885 and bought out Dr. Patterson, located above the Round Corner Drug store for many years. When Dr. Charles passed away his brother, George, succeeded him and has been practicing in the same office. So the good name of Esterly has been a familiar one for fifty-two years. J. A. Keeler opened a book store in the 800 block on Massachusetts street in 1886. He also carried a stock of stationery and wall paper. His son Walter, became a partner in 1919. The firm Keelers Book store has continued THE JAYHAWKER in the same line of business for fifty- one years and is now located at 939 Massachusetts street. For three generations a professional family has ministered to the sick in our community. Dr. Samuel B. Anderson came from Ohio in 1868, engaging in the practice of medicine. His son, Arthur James, entered the practice with his father in 1886, and in 1931 the grandson, Arthur Samuel, began prac- ticing with his father, the only three- generation profession of which Law- rence can boast.

More than 100 news- papers have been started in Lawrence since the Herald of Freedom, the Kansas Tribune, and the Kansas Free State made their appearance in 1854. Nearly fifty newspapers have been con- solidated into the present Journal- World, of which W. C Simons is president. He came to Lawrence in 1891 and founded the Daily World, March 1, 1892, which was consolidated with the Journal in 191 1. The Journal- World has long been one of the lead- ing newspapers of Kansas. History is history and history is more than often boring. But it is the past that makes history, and it is the past that makes things what they are today. So to these firms, whose past is re- flected in the present and who in the future will continue to be forces, a salute must be given. May future Jay- hawkers merit such support as has been accorded them in the past 50 years. . . Q. A (Continued from page 393) for the exchange to open several days before classes start. Students may ob- tain books ahead of time and thus avoid the rush. During the past year a new service end of each semester. This procedure lessens the possibility of buying stolen books. Selling is done all year. During th epast year a new service has been offered customers, that of loaning money on books. Handling 5000 books a semester, the exchange is a regular business even if students in quest of Nelson ' s College Caravan asks for Elks in Fairyland. 193X (Continued from page 358) City and Lawrence till he ' s too ex- hausted to see his own blue-pencil marks if he ever did have time to make them. And wait till he sees people reading and laughing delight- edly over his brain-child that day the first issue comes out, and he realizes it ' s work well repaid. I envy the new editor all this, but still I can cherish one thought. He at least won ' t have had the fun of the nineteen-thirty-eight Jayhawker! 1 know that Bill Seitz feels the same way, too. Heaven knows he ' s sat on enough waiting-room benches waiting to see people who aren ' t the least in- terested in an ad in the Jayhawker and come away with them sold. He ' s made budgets only to have them dis- regarded. He ' s given pep-talks to as- sistants only to have them show no results at alL He ' s worried, and fretted, and traveled thousands of miles, and lost a lot of sleep. But he ' s jealous of the next fellow, too. I hope the next fellow ' s his equal If it hadn ' t been for his good sense, his amazing ability to make money out of nowhere, and his infinite patience and even temper, you would never have had this book. If I could give credit everywhere credit is due, I could put out an extra issue and devote it to orchids. First and foremost to Marion Springer, who knew the profit on local ads, and where the scissors were, and what the man in the polo shirt called about, and what happened to the proofs for page 363 all at the same time, just as secre- taries do in the movies, but seldom in real life. And credit to Tom Yoe, who will guide the 1939 book, and who gave me this year the most skilled and ex- perienced assistance any editor has ever had. And to Art Wolf and Bert Brandt and Duke A ' Ambra, and the Hixons for swell photographs. And to Dick MacCann for being able to put more in less space, cleverly, than anyone I ' ve ever seen. And to Tom Bowlus and Marjorie Trembly and especially to conscientious, capable Stewart Jones for ever-ready ability to take responsi- bility. On the business side, assistants work even harder, I think, in hope of re- reiving their reward in the form of next year ' s leadership. Jack Carlson wa s a working wonder. He was ex- tremely conscientious and able to take the most detailed responsibility, never failing in results. He made it harder this year than any time in a decade to choose a successor for Bill Seitz. Fred Littooy, who will take over the busi- ness managership for next year, has a power of personality, a business ability, and a knack of originality that will be seen next year. Frank Bolin, though only a freshman, and though ineligible much of the time, astonished the of- fice with his results when he did work. Jane Blaney sold a large percentage of our subscriptions with her famous smile and almost had promise of be- coming the Jayhawker ' s first woman business manager, before her love life assumed first place in her attentions. And John Berns was a capable worker. Those demon twins, Harry Crowe and Bill Oliver came in at the end of the year and gave invaluable help. And Chad Case and John Battenfeld were the most used of the office assistants. Finally, a word to those anonymous departmental heads who turn in their copy regularly and doggedly, without a single credit line all year. Mary Ellen DeMotte was, without doubt, the best Woman ' s fashions columnist the Jayhawker has ever had. Jim Robertson put a snap in The Jay- hawk Hangs Out that makes it al- most worthy to be run as a feature. The Course of Events was chronicled by Bill Johnson with a blend of wit and cynicism that was just right. Gos- sip-collector was Jim Harris, who raised Campus Polylogia to a height of literary spiciness it had never before attained. Socialite Fred Littooy covered the parties in the Social Wheel. Of course this leaves out Bob Maplesden, the guiding genius of the ]ayhawker and the crew of about fifty artists and engravers that work on the book in Kansas City, as well as Dos Merillat and the crew of printers that do the final job in Topeka. But to every one of these, and everyone men- tioned here, the 1938 Jayhawker is not just another yearbook, a little bit of printed paper. It is a part of their lives. (Continued from page 395) Published originally by the Y.W.C.

The Serenaders, a comedy sketch featuring Jack Laffer, its writer and director, to- gether with Bob Brooks, Dick White, J. D. Ramsey, and Dick Stark, fairly made old Fraser quake with mad de- light. Alice Marie Meyn ' s soling of Half- way to Heaven, (Bill Meissner), with Charlene Barber, Roberta Mitchell, and Margaret Ramage trioing in the background will always be a swell memory. The Modern Choir, directed by Ross Robertson and with Arranger Don Wood at the piano, followed with Awake in a Dream (Bill Meissner) Keith Davis and Foster Parriott ad- ministering the solos. Part one was climaxed by a take-off on the law students and their whistl- ing. Bud Frink ' s swing arrangement of The Elehpant Walk is a creamer. But why Ernie Sanders and Art Wolf reversed the living statue of Uncle Jimmy and the student is a bit per- plexing. Lazy Eyes, sung by Eddie Single- ton, is a song we ' ll probably hear more of if some music pubisher hears it. And the same applies to Illusion, sung by Dorothy Fritz. Both melodies are by Meissner. Glenda Speakman, surrounded by Fenlon Durand, Clyde Smith, and Gene Haughey, gave freely of her talent and personality in a novelty quartet number, I Love You So (Anna Marie Tompkins). Following which Ernest Sanders returned to create a tap dance as the music so inspired him a jam dance for the first time on anybody ' s stage. Red Blackburn and the band then took the audience on a musical tour. When Red jeopardized the purity of the show by mentioning beer, Gui- tarist Henry Miller rose to the occasion and cried, once again gentlemen, what is our motto? Whereupon the band did rise and proclaim Keep Kansas Clean for Kansas Youth! Before the finale, the Modern Choir indulged in a bit of musical pugilism called I Led With My Heart, written by Ernest Sanders and Douglas Tar- bet. To unsung heros Mary Ellen De- Motte and Bette Wasson who created the costumes, to stage manager Fred Fleming, and to publicity director Louis Fockele, goes a great deal of credit for Spring Swing ' s success. 7Ae cial Wheel (Continued from page 373) nists ' party. Scythes, hammers, and red shirts were everywhere, Red Black- burn ' s hair blending in with the gen- eral theme. John Tyler had in tow Betty Butcher, but that was before New York, Fred Pralle, etc., had taken its toll The same night found the pledges of the various sororities cavorting in the Union Building. Louis Kuhn furn- ished the music while the number two men furnished the masculine ele- ment. Therein lies the story. April 1 may be Fool ' s day to some, but it ' s just another night for a dance as far as Paul Kihm is concerned, so off to another varsity we did go .... and anything went. Clothing varied all the way from overalls to plus-fours which made it all the more fun.

Even Sleepy Frank Warren, who has finally blos- somed forth to become an honest-to- goodness college man this year under the fine tutelage of Mary Louise Kanaga, could be found romping hither and thither with the rest of the boys. Ah love. . . . Came Friday and the eighth of April, and with it came the boys in blue, marching stiffly up the steps of the Union Building. Louis Kuhn ' s orches- tra managed to knock some of the kinks out of the soldier boys ' legs, and the girls did the rest. Somehow or other a man in uniform does something to a girl, says Dorothy Jones, she of the dreamy eyes. And so another Mili- tary Ball became history. West Hills was rocking to and fro that night as the frolicking Kappa Sigs ganged up on the dollies and whipped through another party. Curly Boy Southern found Jean Wilkins at his side, as per custom, and, as rumor would have it, for about the last time. But you know how undependable rumor can be at times. The male horde swarmed toward West Campus on Saturday night as the Gamma Phi ' s and Chi Omega ' s saw fit to entertain. It was a battle royal throughout, with Red Blackburn bat- ting for the Gamma Phi ' s and Louis Kuhn for the Chi Omega ' s. The Gamma Congratulations To The Class of 1938 TWO NATIONALLY KNOWN LAWRENCE, KANSAS INSTITUTIONS THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS and THE STANDARD LIFE ASSOCIATION 04 THE JAYHA K E R Phi ' s carried out the spring motif to the full with fingers of tiny shepherds decorating the walls and flowers spread out in profusion. Jane Everest, Roberta Cook, and Isabelle Bash were only a few of the beautiful ladies who were not ladies in waiting. The stags will attest to that. With school out of the way for a few days, the Pi Phi ' s gave one of their best on Wednesday night before the Easter holiday. A colorful arrow of red and yellow flowers gleamed from behind the bandstand, while a rock garden and fountain were situated in one wing of the dance floor. For those who were looking for- ward to a rousing send-off for the seniors, the Cakewalk was somewhat of a flopperoo. April 22 looked at first to be a big date on the calendar, since Bobby Meeker ' s orchestra was the main attraction. As matters turned out, the dance proved to be little more than a good pkce to waste away a night on rushees. Everybody was present, Latt- ner, Fritz, McFarland, et al, but things just didn ' t seem to click. Anyway, there s always another year. April 23 was an auspicious night for a party, what with the Kansas Re- lays bringing the rushees swarming in- to town, so the Phi Gam ' s, Sig Alph ' s, and Sig Ep ' s opened up with mighty blasts. The Sig Ep ' s were in the Union Building with Georgie Lee ' s orchestra. Decorations were provided in the way of a vineyard with silver balloons for grapes and red balloons for cherries. At the Phi Gam house, Hazlett Steiger roped in an unsuspecting date for the occasion, and Al Downey and Al Le- moine breezed in with their habitual mates, Spearing and Sanford. And all the other actives showed off for the ninety rushees that swarmed over the place. Friday night, April 29, was the date set by the boys of Pi Kappa Alpha, and a party they did have. Even Jean Williamson, erstwhile mate of Paul Trees, took in the proceedings under the guidance of Joe Bowlus. Corbin Hall, Miller Hall, and Ricker Hall also entertained with their spring formals, so that there was no dearth of di- version. The Kappa Sig ' s, still feeling the urge for a little get-together, pulled one out of the bag Saturday night. Gene- vieve Gaylord and Sally Harris lent no little bit of sparkle to the party. Of course Chuck Lueck was present with all his vim, vigor, and vitality, and even Paul Rogers and Mary Frances Martin, wife to you, dropped in for a brief so- journ. And with that, we must bid you adieu. Another year has gone by on swifter wings than ever, leaving in its wake a few more gray hairs and many more happy memories. In an- other year new faces will have made their debut, and old ones will have gone into the cold world, but college gaiety and college parties will still be very much with us. So be it. 50 ije ii o tke $ zifJ uuuJze i. (Continued from page 344) player. Proud of its position, Theta Nu Epsilon during this era took two pages like the other fraternities. This once reverberated in the humor section where a page was dedicated to the I Tappa Keg fraternity. In 1907 appeared two precursors of modern features. That issue carried four pages of snapshots and pictures of Hill leaders, however, with no write-up. The 1908 book received considerable at- tention in the summer of 1936 because in it are several pictures and references to Alf M. Landon. Characteristic of the books of this period were enormous humor sections consisting of poetry, plays, jokes, satire, and cartoons. About this time the custom of printing take-offs on fraternities and sororities was begun. The second decade of the century saw the Jayhawker take on modern characteristics. Imposing division pages and expanded sports sections were the style. The books fattened to almost 500 pages and many now-forgotten or- ganizations took pages. The 1911 is- sue had trouble getting the Chancel- lor ' s o.k. because it poked more than a bit of fun at the Governor ' s sena- torial ambitions, a bit of humor called for because of a cut in the University appropriation. The 1918 and 1919 Jay hawkers were predominantly patriotic in nature. The entire books breathed the military at- mosphere. Even the beauty queens, who first appeared in 1916, were photographed in army and navy uni- forms. Notice of a long-seated rivalry was taken in the 1921 book when a humor page was devoted to the Sauer Growl . Annuals of the ' 20 ' s reflected the trend toward photographs and other innovations as well as a definite change in policy. When Chancellor E. H. Lindley came to the University he instituted the Jayhawker Advisory Board. The board finally decided that the editor and business manager should be juniors a decision no doubt influ- enced by the fact that some business managers had been in the habit of leaving for parts unknown after the close of school, neglecting to collect some bills. This, of course, left unpaid debts and an embarrassed editor. So in 1925 Raymond Nichols, now executive secretary to the Chancellor, became the CARTER ' S STATIONERY UNIVERSITY SUPPLIES Just Opposite Granada Theater 1025 MASSACHUSETTS TELEPHONE 1051 MAY 1938 405 first junior to be Jayhawker editor. During the prosperous ' 20 ' s when revenue was plentiful well-known artists were induced to paint pictures for the Jayhawker, and in 1926 the page size was increased from letterhead size to the present one. Featured in the humor section of this era was the yearly selection of a King of the Asses . Usually this du- bious honor was avidly sought, but sometimes results were not so satis- factory. One not so thick-skinned fel- low left school after his crowning. An- other time an irate father appeared the night before the release date and threatened suit if the page was not removed. Strangely contrasting with the 1926 net revenue of $1.40 was a profit of $2,231.48 in 1930. But deficits of $2,428.46 and $1,194.49 in 1932 and 1933 respectively more than wiped out the surplus, although the latter book was of greatly reduced size. For 1934 the need of drastic change was apparent. Reorganization was ef- fected in the change to a five issue magazine. Faced with the toughest job of any editor in years, Quentin Brown and an able staff became the heroes of the hour. Through complete economy and effective promotional ef- forts, he and George Frey, the busi- ness manager, put out the first Jay- hawker Magazine in a depression year with a profit of $150. That year such features as The Course of Events and Campus Polylogia were instituted. Succeeding magazines have pro- gressed on lines such as a much more extensive use of pictures and a short, terse style of writing until the 50th issue of the Jayhawker is what it is before you. (Continued from page 362) B team won its championship by beating Kappa Sigma B . Also hotly contested was the volley- ball championship. Besting Phi Delta Theta in two of three games, Phi Gamma Delta won the 1938 cham- pionship. Led by Leon Hendrickson, Phi Delta Theta won the team swimming cham- pionship with 64 points. West- minster ' s 55 were good enough for second. Delta Tau Delta was third. Hendrickson, who comes from Flo- rida, was the individual star of the meet taking firsts in the two back- stroke events and diving. West- minster piled up points in the relays. The wrestling and water polo tournaments were cancelled this year because of the dearth of competent referees and the growing sentiment against participation in strenuous sports by those who are not in con- dition. Cold and rainy weather combined to give spring sports such a late start that at present it would be difficult to predict winners. In softball Sigma Alpha Epsilon is the defending cham- pion and looms large as the team to beat. However, serious competition will come from Delta Upsilon which boasts a star pitcher in Hocevar. Hoce- var turned in two straight no-hit games early this season. On the basis of performances last fall, Beta Theta Pi and Phi Delta Theta should meet in the finals of team handball, with the edge going to the Betas. By virtue of their having the individual champion and runner-up in horseshoe singles last fall, the Betas are top-heavy favorites to win the horseshoe team title and also appear strong in tennis.

Caliber of basketball played during the season was the best in recent years. I.W.W. defeated Corbin Hall in a thrilling final game. The honorary varsity team was composed of Mar- garet Van Cleave, I.W.W., D. J. Will- cutts, Alpha Chi, Denny Lemoine, Pi Phi, Lenora Grizzell, Corbin, Ruth Olive Brown, Theta and Lois Wisler, Ind. D. J. Willcutts displayed her usual ability in the arial dart contest to take the championship from Margaret Curd, T.N.T. in the finals. Ping Pong singles brought into light, two new champs for the paddle sport. In a close final match Esther Hawley, Corbin, defeated Margaret McCoy, Kappa. Baseball, the major outdoor sport, has already showed some hard fighting batteries and pitchers. Kappa Kappa Gamma, Pi Beta Phi, and T.N.T. are the top notchers so far in their re- spective divisions. Individual players of note are D. J. Wilkurts, Alpha Chi, Margaret Van Cleave, Virginia Bell, Maxine Woody and Ruth Baker, I.W. W. ' s, Julia Henry, Phoebe Woodbury and Jane Irwin, Kappa ' s, Delos Woods and Denny Lemoine, Pi Phi ' s, and Jane Blaney, Theta. Probabilities, due to previous re- cords, for the spring season of tennis doubles are D. J. Willcutts and Vir- ginia Hall, Alpha Chi ' s, Jane Irwin and Bunny Jenkins, Kappa ' s, and Mar- garet Van Cleave and Virginia Bell, I.W.W. It looks like some tight fights when these smashers at the net finally do meet. Outstanding rankers in the high ten for individual intramural points, col- lectively speaking, are as in order, D. J.

W.A.A, the women ' s athletic club, elected Mary Kay Lattner for their new president. She and other officers will be formally installed at their final banquet on May 12. Here, all awards of letters, jackets, and cups will be pre- sented to the outstanding women ath- letes who have won such coveted honors. And this will climax women ' s intramurals of 1938, one of the most active and closely fought seasons in recent years. jimmy ' ' 4.

Wolcott, called by many sports writers the hurdle king , has run the highs in 13:9 seconds but he did not use the exact type of hurdle required for setting world ' s records. Burly ( Beef us ) Bryan of Texas University, broke the oldest Relays record by vaulting 13 feet 11% inches. The former pole vault mark was held by Tom Warne of Northwestern set in 1930, who jumped 13 feet 9 3 4 inches. Gilbert Cruter, lanky Colorado negro, leaped 6 feet 7 9 16 inches to top the record of 6 feet 634 inches set at the 1937 Relays. Cruter jumped five inches over his own height. The Riverside Junior College run- ners from California made the great distance worth their while by cutting three-tenths of a second off the half- mile college relay record. The record of 1:27 was made by the Oklahoma Baptist quartet in 1930. The Rideout twins, Wayne and Blaine, paced the North Texas Teachers team to a new record of 4:16.3 in the university team race, by finishing shoulder to shoulder. Blaine was given a slight decision over his brother. The old record of 4:23.2 was set by Don Lash of Indiana last year. Blaine also anchored the college distance medley relay from North Texas Teachers that won that event. Miss Elizabeth Short, Pi Beta Phi, was chosen the Relays Queen by the University of Texas track squad. Betty Martin, Kappa Alpha Theta and Patti Payne, Alpha Chi Omega, were chosen attendants for the Queen. The sensational speedsters from Rice institute again pulled through and ac- counted for a new spirit medley relay mark of 3:27 seconds, displacing the 3:274 time hung up by the North- western crew in 1936. In the Junior college sprint medley,Connors Agricul- ture College won the event and set a new Relays mark of 3:22.3 seconds to break the old time of 3:27.8 seconds set by Fort Scott in 1936. Another exciting event in which the record was broken was the 480 yard shuttle-hurdle relay race which was run in 1:01.6 by the timber-toppers of AFFILIATE WITH ONE OF THE MAJOR POLITICAL PARTIES!

(Continued from page 357) Lapetinas, and Mike McNally, who worked for the lola Ban-Johnson team last season. Not to the surprise of his coach, McNally began displaying his abilities by allowing only one run across the plate in eight innings in the Rockhurst College game. Last year, strength at bat was de- pended upon to compensate for the pitching weakness; this year, says Coach Conger, it is equally important. De- pendable for a respectable majority of hits for his turns at bat is Ferrel Anderson, who calls the signals behind the plate. Lester Kappelman has also shown through two years ' experience that he can be counted on in the pinches. Similarly, Pat Holcom dis- plays both excellence and power at bat. Although the University has not pro- duced an abundance of material, the quality of the squad cannot be denied. Whether the team wins the Big Six championship or not, they are hard competition for any opponents. Second in major importance in spring athletics is track. Finishing fourth in the Big Six winter indoor meet this year, Coach Bill Hargiss was answered both by a mass of raw ma- terial and by eleven veterans when he made the call for spring track. From these men has been molded a team which will attempt to maintain or bet- ter its second place position won in the May conference last year. With Lyle Foy in the dashes, Don Bird in the pole vault, Captain Harry Wiles in the low hurdles, and Fenlon Durand defending his Big Six javelin title, Kansas is of- fering keen competition to rival schools. Early in the season the swimming team held its meets.

The team participated in four dual meets and the Big Six meet at Norman, Okla- homa, where it received fourth place. Especially important were Paul White, entered in diving competition, and Paul Fisher, elected honorary captain for the year. With but one man being lost this season and the abundance of material expected from this year ' s fresh- man squad, the team is expected to make great strides over the recently completed season in 1939. Golf, too, is well under way, under the direction of Glenn Oatman. With Bob Busier its only veteran, all likely prospects were invited to participate in an elimination tournament. The eight men who qualified for the squad by wide berths were Ray Watson, Mort Jones, Jack Nessly, Dean Ritchie, Bob Busier, Bill Witt, Dick Baskett, and Bill Udell. These men opened their matches with victories over Washburn College, Washington University at St. Louis, Wich ita University, a tie with Kansas State, and a victory over Missouri. With such a record behind them, the boys are highly confident over the outcome of the season. Lastly, varsity tennis occupies its own important place. The prospects were not quite as bright this year as those of 1937, but with a tie with Washburn and a win over Wichita, the team expects to strengthen themselves as the season progresses. The four man team is composed of Bud Sinning, Jim Kell, Kermit Franks, and Newton Hover- stock. Other members who are de- pended upon to win places on the team are George Murphy and Robert Browning.

(Continued from page 365) before the play opens, a professor of law has resurrected the Romagna case, claimed that Romgana was not guilty of the crime for which he died. Had Garth Esdras been called to the stand, says the professor, the case might have taken another turn. Mio, reading these reports, goes to New York, to the East River tenement where Garth, his sister Miriamne, and his father live. At the same time, the gangster who is actually guilty of the crime, Track Estrella, is released from prison. Tubercular, Track has only six months to live; and he is determined to live them as a free man. He too comes to the East River to protect himself. Judge Gaunt, who presided at the Romagna case, goes mad with the knowledge of his guilt in condemning the innocent Romagna and comes to the Esdras tenement. There, in the cellar room where the Esdras family lives, and beneath the bridge-head just outside, is played the tragedy of Winterset . The chain of events lead Mio and Miriamne to fall in love; they cause Mio to discover that his father was innocent; they lead the lovers, because Mio cannot take revenge on Miriamne through her brother, to death before Trock ' s sub- machine gun. Certainly the finest performance in the play as well as one of the finest amateur or semi-profesisonal perfor- mances this reviewer has seen any- where, was given by Robert Calder- wood as Judge Gaunt. Mr. Calder- wood enjoys a tremendous popularity with KU audiences, both as actor and as individual. He well deserves the popularity in both instances. Miss Betty Butcher, who played Miriamne, did some extremely fine act- ing for which she will receive little or no credit. Miss Butcher made herself so much a part of the play that it was very difficult to conceive of her acting. And may I say that her great success in playing Miriamne was not due to type-casting; this was a piece of very genuine and very fine acting. MAY 1938 409 Like Miss Butcher, Allen Crafton will probably receive little applause for his work in Winterset . He played the complicated and rather unrewarding role of old Esdras. Esdras being a philosopher and a worn-out old man whose dramatics are all behind him, has to be played with delicacy, with understanding, without pyrotechnics. Mr. Crafton fitted very neatly into his niche in the play. I thought, and I still think, that Alpha Perry is probably the outstand- ing student actor (as opposed to act- ress) on the campus. His portrayal of the vicious, almost psycho-pathic Trock was a great success. How Mr. Perry manages to produce his char- acterizations I don ' t know, but he is most effective on the stage. Rolla Nuckles played the part of Mio. His work was rather difficult to evaluate from a critic ' s point of view. On the first night of the play, he seemed to be doing an adequate por- trayal, though an overly flamboyant one. On Friday night, he had elimi- nated much of the gaudiness which marked his earlier performance, and had become even too casual in places. Consequently, I scarcely know how to rank his work. To get a true per- spective on the role, a reviewer should certainly have seen Winterset more than once or twice. There are many other things one should mention in connection with Winterset . I did not feel that Richard MacCann ' s portrayal of Garth was en- tirely right, although his concept was certainly legitimate and Mr. MacCann played the part as he saw it to the hilt. Joe Myers as Shadow, Trock ' s lieutenant who is murdered, was very effective, especially in his last scene. There were any number of fine parts played in Winterset . About the best of these was done by Don Dixon, who was Oke, the half-witted hobo. Cathe- rine Holmes and Betty Lou MacFarlans contributed a very neat if very brief scene in the first act. The girls were never, it seems- quite sure whether they were playing shop girls or prostitutes, but they were good nevertheless.
