The second or third year man-about-town knows how important this is in the social curriculum. The freshman, who gets only a portion the time to jelly that his older brothers have, is learning fast and has or soon will discover: THE COTTAGE with its knotty pine walling and its off the Hill attitude. Being just off of the Campus it attracts those who want to get away from it all between classes. A glimpse in the Cottage after any social function will dis- close a group resembling a Pan- Hell meeting in that all groups on the Hill will be seated in the raised booths. The Cottage prides itself on having fast service and good products at all times. Traveling back toward the Campus one finds: BRICK ' S, the gathering place of jellies since the time of Mom and Dad.

Both parties and individuals get raked over the coals in a good-natured manner. What Dick and Thur- man Kepner ' s accompanying car- toon say may or may not be true, but you ' ll get more than a few chuckles anyway. For years the Daily Kansan article has followed the same hackneyed outline. But this time Harold Addington is the man of the hour and comes through with something that is sparkling, new, and different. It is the best word picture of how the Campus daily is produced we ' ve ever seen. One of those fellows who makes our life less trying is Bert Brandt, photographer super-excellent. We don ' t have to tell Bert to go get pictures. He intuitively gets the right thing on his own hook, and resultingly his credit lines are scat- tered throughout the magazine. Especially good are his personality pictures, the cover photo, and his glamor girl on page 41. We hope the entirely new treat- ment of rush week (page 22) meets with your approval. Tom Thompson, a freshman, shows he ' s learned a lot about that unnatural period already. And don ' t overlook the pictorial presentation of life starting for the unorganized groups on page 20. Embryo Greeks may find their date catalogue (pledge class pic- tures) beginning on page 27. THE JAYHAWKER STOP LOOK LISTEN e A New, Novel, Unique UNION BUILDING is offering YOU...

It is a known fact among those who cut classes that nothing can pep you up quite so quick as one of those home-made ice cream cones for which they are justly famous and proud. Those who possess cars and want to get clear off the Hill often go to: THE BLUE MILL. The Mill is the favorite of the Kappa sopho- more class, and you would have a hard time picking a time when Helen Johnson, Jean Egbert, or some of the others would not be occupying one of the booths. Dur- ing the warmer days such as we have just been having it has been especially popular because of its cooling plant and those new little aluminum cups. Incidentally these cups hold exactly the same as a regular coke glass. The after the show crowd find many friends at the Mill or at: WIEDEMANN ' S, which has been remodeled during the sum- mer and opened this year under the managership of a former K. U. student. The management is keep- ing the latest records in its fine phonograph and seldom are the times when independents and Greeks alike are not enjoying this service.

St. N V Js M B F R 1 9.3 8 J Afasuie EVERY COLLEGE man can ' t have an Esquire wardrobe, but every college man can with a little heady purchasing and managing be able to dress properly for every oc- casion. Having too few clothes is not economical because that favorite suit is never pressed when you need it. A balanced wardrobe will spread the wear on your clothes over a longer period and give you a better return from your investment and pleasure with proper clothes for the occasion. For the college man ' s own information here are a few tips. For informal wear it may be traditional for a college man to be comfortable, but it isn ' t traditional for him to be sloppy. Choose fab- rics that will take a beating at the Nebraska game, yet stay smooth, hold some crease and give plenty of wear. Choose bright patterns, but not racetrack plaids or prison stripes. Mixing up the coat and trousers of harmonizing suits is still in vogue and quite utilitarian. Ober ' s are showing suits in covert cloth, lovat Shetland, and window- pane checks that are popular selections. Shirts will offer the round-cornered Radnor collars in stripes and solid shades; shoes will be the ever popular brown plain- tip blucher, two tone and plain rubber soled, reverse calf buckskin. Camel ' s hair sweaters in shades of green and odd Shetland campus jackets looked good in Rothschild ' s window. For dress-up occasions such as that quick trip to the City, proms, and maybe dinner with her folks ( Continued on page 9 ) PLEASE EXCUSE US FOR CROWING Oar busines is good again this seascn. This is not due to any son of magic ... it is because we have such a large selection of quality merchandise, styled in the manner that appeals to Uni- versity men. We know what you want and have it here for you. Follow The Campus Leaders of 40 Years to THE JAYHAWKER Girls ' wrice-ups by Annette Re: ' d HELEN HEARD likes the man with a mind of his own and plenty of personality. Prefers blonds not over six feet tall and someone who knows the meaning of rhythm. A car is not essential, but it helps. With her as with almost all girls, the big question is: Can he show me a good time? JEANNE WILKINS prefers the man who is a lot of fun and a sporty dresser. If he gets around that helps and must be a good dancer. To be serious at times is permis- sable, but not often. Jeanne says average mentality will do, for, I want to be able to keep up with him. DICK AMERINE doesn ' t like drinkers but will not condemn the smoker. Prefers an intelligent girl who can talk athletics. Doesn ' t demand the home-type or a good cook. Dislikes the girl who wants a fashion plate and intensely the Josephine Colleges and sophisticates. Likes cute trim figures and the sincere, one-man girl. Boys ' write-ups by Maurice Jackson HUGH T. JONES prefers the sweet, refined girl who doesn ' t require a gala party to admit a good time. Indifferent to blonde or brunette, but appreciates natural beauty and smart tailoring (sans bulges). Make- up and tobacco should be at minimum to rate her with. Likes her tenacious but unpredictable, which spells umph. NOVEMBER 1938 In A Manner Manly (Continued from page 7) deserve some attention. Choose a dark color suit in blue, oxford grey, or brown in chalk stripe or multi- colored stripes. Ray Beer ' s has some nifties in several lines. The white separate starched collar in the Kent style with a conservative tie will mark you as a man with definite taste. It is no foolish bet that double breasted chalk stripe and three button herringbone models are going to be seen at the smart gathering places this season. About midway between campus and sports clothes comes the holiday or leisure outfit. It should be of a soft fabric and loose-fitting for driving and slouching in easy chairs and general comfort. Rough tweed, homespun, and cheviot that are absolutely correct without a sharp crease are right at home in this class. Fancy backs are taboo save for bi-swing bellows for free arm movement. If the Indian summer pre- vails, gaberdines and flannels fit in, especially for town and country. Appropriate shirts would be the oxford cloth with a button-down collar, in white, blue, tan, grey, or green; striped or knit tie to match; country brogue with those policeman soles; slouch hat in deep brown color as shown at Ray Beer ' s a briar and a friend complete the leisure ensemble. For formal occasion it is essential to be dressed pro- perly. Tails are fast gaining in popularity with every function. The new color in formal wear, as shown at Ober ' s, is midnight blue that looks blacker than black under those Union ballroom lights. A double- breasted tuxedo coat and vest can interchange with your tail coat when the occasion is not so formal. Tail coats are long and flowing, extending about one and one-half inches below the knee. For tails the shirt is of plain or birds-eye pique with two studs, Serano white tie, moonstone or pearl studs with plain or fine gold edging. With tuxedo the Shoreham type shirt with collar-attached is increasing in popularity. The black tie, bat shape preferable, is the most popluar with the young generation.

Some of us put our hair up and left it up, but many more put it up and quickly took it down. However, this 1900 hair mode brought out all sorts of frou-frou of that period: tiny hats with ab- surd pom-poms and feathers, leg- o-mutton sleeves, formals with voluminous hoop-skirts and dar- ingly bared shoulders, muffs day and night opera gloves that stretch almost up to the shoulder, high boots and spats, chains and chatelaines, ponderous jewelry, and other fashions popular in the days of our mothers and grandmothers. As Vogue puts it, She takes ' this ' from her mother and ' that ' from her grandmother, but under all the frivolities are clothes un- mistakably today ' s. Fashions this year are more feminine than they have been in years. Do they appeal to men? Of course, they do. They adore the extremely feminine clothes that remind them of their mothers. Basically simple is the silhouette. The universal one in sport clothes is the snug jacket with a short, full, bunchy s k i r t either pleated, gathered or circular. If the skirt is circular and the waist is neat, the outfit achieves the skater ' s silhou- ette so desirable this year. There is noticeably more motion in all clothes, more amplitude and ease. A lumber jacket look is also found in many suits, dresses, and furs. And skirts are also a wee bit shorter. If your skirt is longer than fifteen inches from the floor, you may know that Paris disapproves. Most interesting and spectacular note of the fashion season is JEWELRY not dainty, fragile ornaments, but heavy necklaces that choke the throat and crusty NOVEMBER 1938 11 SHOP ON COUNTRY CLUB PLAZA - Here you ' ll find smart merch- andise to meet your every need, at prices within your budget. - Wide streets and two free parking stations solve the parking problem. - Pleasant, intelligent and help- ful sales people make PLAZA SHOPPING a pleasure. - - School togs and supplies too. -- COUNTRY CLUB PLAZA Neighborhood West of 47th Main Moment Supreme PERFUME COLOGNE BATH POWDER Originals and Sets Weaver ' s big gold bracelets that clank about the wrists. Vogue says this may well be remembered as the year of the whopping big jewels. And our Campus has not failed to re- spond to this fashion craze. Betty West possesses a mammoth neck- lace of luscious raspberries mingled with green leaves made of glass entirely. And Doorthy Jean Roberts has a most unusually linked necklace, the outer sides of the heavy silver links being covered with tiny seed pearls. Mary Ellen Brosius weights her tiny neck with enormous balls of natural wood strung on brown twisted leather, while Betty Martin displays a neck- lace of strung leather nickels. Weaver ' s are featuring heavy linked necklaces of gold to be worn on sweaters. And then have you noticed that gigantic monogramed gold brooch which Jeanne Sunder- land sports at the throat of her costumes? These are seemingly small detail of one ' s outfit, yet it is just such a touch that is dis- tinguishing. Another fashion note of im- portance is the shade of pink featured in the make-up of the face. This desire to appear pink and deli- cately rosy is just another angle of the feminine trend. Weaver ' s can give you this rosy effect either with their Cyclamen make-up by Eliza- beth Arden or with their Petunia make-up by Charles of the Ritz.

However, such need not and should not be the case for the Christmas issue. Hence, we take this opportunity of inviting anyone interested in writing, editorial work, office work, or the business end of publishing to apply at the Jayhawker office, third floor of the Union Building within the next few days. Since the Jayhawker is a pub- lication for students, it should re- present the work of as many indi- viduals as possible. The staff is by no means complete and there is a constant need for new names. Many and varied are our special needs. We ' d like to see any can- dids you have of football, rallies, Homecoming, or anything in har- mony with the girls ' issue. Awarded a permanent job will be the person who can: write screamingly funny articles, subtle satire, or cutting irony; draw car- toons on Campus topics that are definitely with ; or write non- didactic light verse. We also need plain, unadorned feature writers. Bring along samples of your work and ideas. Aspirants to the editorship and business manager ' s job should not wait another day to get started.

XA(.i;H Monday morning quarterbacking to those who are so Eminently Qualified. So we judge they are by the authoritative tone with which they rave far into the night in bull sessions. So with football as with tea dancing we ' ll leave the crusade to the Kansan. Then we might wax sentimental over the ad- vantages that we as college students have, the re- sponsibility that we have of justifying the faith in us placed by Those Who Foot the Bills. Again, we might deplore the facts that will next spring toss hundreds of us out upon the hardly tender mercies of a Cold World one that is mighty cold right now. But when at long last we come to things that are provocative of comment, we should like to see: ( 1 ) Changes made in the rushing systems. Their faults are discussed elsewhere in this issue.

WHEN THE TIME for the absolute deadline is past, there always remains one vacant page the editorial page. For some reason or other we are always hard put to find some subject into which we can throw ourselves with abandon. There are lots of things about which we could rant to high heaven. For instance, we might take up the cudgel for tea dancing as did our predecessor of two years since. But he accomplished exactly nothing, and the chances are that we should accomplish more of the same. Already this fall one attempt has been made to start such an institution, and already it has been summarily squelched by Qualified Authority. Or we might work ourselves into a stew of righteous indignation over the perennial K.U. foot- ball dilemma. But down in our heart we feel the knocking should be left until after the season ' s close. Now it can only demoralize team, coach, and school spirit. Further, we have no desire, being too much a jelly, to be a real quarterback and also shall leave the THE COVER To Bert Brandt must go the credit for the most punch any Jayhawker cover has ever carried.

The program starts with nothing eventful or of particular interest. From time to time the thousand new students glance up toward the south. On the Hill a fire flickers, and contrary to the script, dies lower as the program progresses. Real star of the evening is Miss Hannah Oliver, professor emeritus of Latin, who in a firm voice that belies her many years explains the significance of the University seal. Then comes the inspiring part. Upon the Hill there suddenly appears two fires. The smaller starts moving jerkily down the slope. From one carrier to another it is passed until finally a breathless Sachem runs on the platform, passes the burning torch, which signifies the spirit and traditions of the University, to an alumni representative who in turn hands it to the class presidents. Finally in the possession of a representative freshman, it is used to light the fire. Then that freshman is capped by the Chancellor. And the new students have become spiritually part of the University, what it has been in the past, what it is now, and what it will stand for in the future. Some scoffed at the sentiment behind the freshman induction; others were mildly amused. But most frankly admitted that something inside them was moved not a little. Most experienced that indefinable something that every year draws many seniors and graduates back to the ceremony although it is far less entertaining than a dry lecture. But even before the induction college life was well begun for the freshmen. All took the psychological examination. They conferred with their advisers, confusedly filled countless registration and enrollment blanks, attended convocations, swarmed to the dances and receptions, timidly went to their first University class. Beginning of University life constituted one never-to-be-forgotten wee c for the freshmen. MMfl I No if ' s, mud ' s, but $ about ic. even, new student must take the psychological exam. Most are conscientious, but some purposely muddle through. Results: psychology department has some clinical material and the profs know what to expect. Freshmen (left) had a chance to get acquainted with Hill big-wigs and vice versa at the M.S.C.-Y.M.C.A. mixer the first Sunday. The following Friday the new women (right) picnicked at Pot- ter ' s Lake with their counsellors. Various churches and organizations also spon- sored other get-togethers. Probably most confusing of all activities for the freshmen was enrollment (left). The multiplicity of advisors, group re- quirements, tables, and lines left them bewildered. But they soon forgot about the whole thing as they danced at the first mid-week and the Chancellor ' s re- ception (right). Inspiring to some and dull to most was the first convocation. But almost all freshmen dutifully attended and even crowded (left) to get in. In the Union fountain (right) there were no freshmen during this convocation, but in a few months there will be a goodly number of them convening there. NOVEMBER 1938 19 GlicM- Photo by Bert Brandt DISTINGUISHED EDUCATOR, SCHOLAR, AND PROGRESSIVE IS DR. LINDLEY By Patricia Lock TALL AND SPARE but with an appearance of true dignity is Dr. Ernest Hiram Lindley, who as Chancellor has since 1920 directed the innumerable activities of the University of Kansas. Thoroughly educated along academic lines, Dr. Lindley has him- self never ceased to be a student and seeks to find that scholarly spirit in others. His own criterion of an educated individual is the degree of genuine interest and attention with which he hears the ideas of others, however much they may conflict with his own. Spending his life largely in the service of edu- cation, Dr. Lindley has interspersed a few digressions into industry, such as reorganization of personnel for the Ford Motor Plant at Indianapolis and for the National Cash Register Company. The University of Indiana claimed his under- graduate days. There his interests were divided among campus politics, psychology and languages, and the future Mrs. Lindley. Following his graduation in 1893, he became an instructor is psychology there, rose to a professorship as head of the department by 1902, and on leave of absence received his doctorate at Clark University. Later he studied in Germany at Jena, Leipzig, and at Heidelberg under Kraepelin. At Harvard he studied under William James. His pub- lished works form a distinct contribution to the field of psychological research. In 1917 Dr. Lindley was invited to become a member of the committee of five psychologists who compiled the Army Alpha and Beta tests, but instead, he went to Idaho as president of the State university. There he met with such eminent success that in 1920 he was invited to become Chancellor at the Uni- versity. Major eductaional aim of the University of Kansas, according to Chancellor Lindley ' s conception, is first of all the discovery and encouragement of exceptional individuals while maintaining the ideal of democratic mass education.

IN FOR NINE MONTHS EVERY SEPTEMBER HUNDREDS of students start tramping up and down Tennessee and neighboring streets. For these constitute the famous hash house row. And famous, or at least well known, it should be as well over half the University student body there make their homes. Living conditions of these independents vary from the best to such cases in which eight people live in a single small, ill- lighted and ventilated basement. Despite the difference in setting between the hash houses and the more palatial fraternity and sorority houses, these hundreds, no thousands, of independents live just as fully as do the often more monied and sophisticated Greeks. No rush week opens the year for them with all its palaver and tenseness. Yet they have every bit as great a thrill in the opening of school the newcomer in becoming adjusted to wholly different environment, the upperclassman in once more beginning an experience that never becomes old.

Bul l sessions are prime essentials. Girl rushees were to appear Saturday, and the work was not yet done. The summer growth of grass had to be cut. This was done by men, however. Girls did the lighter work, such as polishing the door knobs and the knockers, put- ting up clothes and curtains. Those from far off places brought their wardrobe, but those from nearby went after it on Friday. Only dif- ference in the boy ' s part is, that the boys did all the work, whether it was rough or not. When the house was clean, pre- rush week meetings were held. In these the opinions were exchanged as to how cute this rushee, and how impossible that one. The boys did the same, but decision was not final. They waited to meet the rushee, then the final word was had by a committee of four. Spiked rushees were not discussed, but merely taken for granted. Spik- ing is illegal but it is one of the oldest and most well-established Greek customs. Saturday arrived, and a hot day it was, and so did the girl rushees. On this day, teas were held at all houses, and every rushee was re- quired to visit all of the houses. Not so with the boys. They went only to those houses with whom they had dates. Girls registered their dates, stayed in Corbin Hall or the Eldridge. The active sisters spent the day in straightening out date cards. Sunday was the day of silence for the girls. They were not allowed to see or communicate with the actives till midnight, al- though some ate their meals sub rosa with actives in Hill hangouts. Date cards were delivered that Rushees arrived at Corbin in all manner of first impression. night, and were returned the fol- lowing afternoon. Then the real dates began. There were two teas in the afternoon and dinner dates and after-dinner dates, breakfast dates and after-breakfast dates. Preferential dinners were held Tuesday night. It practically settled things, but Wednesday the girls listed their preferences, and sorori- ties sent formal bids to Corbin Hall. Preferences were matched up and rush week was over for the girls. Thursday, September 15 the fra- ternities held smokers in Kansas City, Topeka and Lawrence and after midnight adjourned to the various houses. Friday morning attire.

Boys dates began with the in- evitable handshake while the girls served tea and cookies. In order to entertain the rushee, they played ping-pong and pool. Thus the di- version continued until the actives began the business of the day, pledge talk. Rush talks varied with the houses. Some held the scenic view from the the house as their asset. Others spoke of the nearness of a sorority house, finances, but all boasted of tradition.

These are boys that are not seen until a boy is buttoned. In the vernacular, they are known as stinkers. Another tactic that is not in agreement with the rules, and more crude than the hotbox, is that of locking a boy in a room till rush week is over. Some organizations have used liquor as a mild per- suasive measure, fortunately this is not common.

Much of the value of such talk was removed this year by a Pan-Hellenic Council sheet of information regarding fra- ternity finances that was given all rushees. A boy may be pledged at any time during rush week. He is pledged by his acceptance of the button. Only a few make a col- lection of these buttons, and those who do lose caste in even the house that they pledge. After a boy takes a pledge button, rush week is over, friends. Remaining ceremony is the formal pledging and the yelling in. These took place on Sunday, September 17. In the yell-in cere- mony the new pledge is taken out- of-doors, the fraternity yell given, finished off with the new pledge ' s name. After the yell-in rush week is over, to the comfort of most pledges, and all actives, and the positions of master and servant are reversed. It ' s a dizzy round, but all love it. The present systems of rushing are complicated, but have their good points. For instance, in the girls ' system, they do not pledge until rush week is completely over. This idea supposedly eliminates much of the dirty work and undue pressure. Another good point, girls More virile were the amusements of the boys, who whiled away the time playing pool, croquet, cards, even telling off-color stories. This is the basement of the Phi Gam house. 26 THE JAYHAWKER Officially denied but universally accepted is the existence of hotboxes. Boys hptboxed like this. Girls hotboxed also like this but refused to .ulm t it since their rushing system rules specifically prevent its use. do not stay in sorority houses at night, but in Corbin Hall or the Hotel Eldridge. This eliminates all-night hotboxes, and other such things that result in grief. The boys ' system, also, has it ' s good points. It is easier for the smaller fraternities to get pledges. They have plenty of time to talk, and so they usually get their share. Girls sat around and fretted the time away waiting for their dates and bids. Once buttoned, rushees were whisked out-of-town for safe keeping. These Sigma Chi ' s are going to the City- As for the bad points of the systems, they must be faced with candor and frankness. For one thing, there are too few sororities. Because of this the quota system cuts out many fine girls. The pre- ferential bid system also is de- fective. Rushees see all the fine houses, are impressed, turn in a pre- ference for some sorority which will never bid them. More direct dealing would eliminate this and the smaller sororities would have a better chance. Many houses have been closed because of this. The system has been made to help the rushees, but it has caused many a sorority grief. The boys ' system seems to have just the opposite effect. It protects the smaller fraternities, but is the downfall of many a rushee. It leaves many opportunities for the fine art of inter-fraternity throat- cutting. Also the rule by which second dates may be broken by per- sonal communication is a bad one. Some houses can cut the others out, ( Continued on page 80 ) tend lid) t fcr It ,401 pi Acacia SECOND Row: Buford Scott, Johnson; Bill Finch, Eskridge; Frank D.

The Betas, having heard this, immediately packed off to the City to set their last trap. To make the Beta case easier one rushee had distant Beta family connections. And the boys of the highwater pants made the most of this opportunity. Sunday morning the two returned to Lawre nce, but to the consternation of the Sigma Chi ' s, they went to the Beta lodge. Several hied themselves off to the Beta house, and a vigil of no short duration was kept in hopes that the boys would not go Beta. Apparently not in vain were their efforts, for late in the afternoon the two returned to the Sigma Chi house just a short time before yelling in. mistake? After having received letters recommending a Leavenworth girl, the Pi Phi ' s had been rushing her for about two years by mail. Receiving no answer to their attempts to acquaint themselves with the girl, the arrow girls decided to call on the rushee while making the summer rush trip. On arriving in Leaven- worth they tried unsuccessfully to contact the phantom rushee by telephone. All attempts to reach the girl being in vain, they determined to call at her home. Bushed, whipped off, fluffed, and in better taste bewildered, were the Pi Phis after finding that the address was the home of a colored person. glamor or hot-box? At the Kappa house they either turned on the glamor or really put the rushees through the paces, for one was so affected as she left the house that she tripped on a flight of steps and had to be taken to a hospital in an ambulance. violet rushing Early last summer the enterprising Sig Alph ' s made a first date with a boy. Seeing that the Phi Psi ' s had both Thursday and Friday night dates, they made ar- rangements to take him up and register his date in an attempt to do some violet rushing. To get another chance at him before the Psi ' s had their first date, they neglected to register the first Sig Alph date and kept the boy with them for that period giving him the smooth rush and saving the pressure for later in the evening when they officially had their first date with him. The plan was progressing nicely and smooth talk flowed freely until the boy dropped a remark that he had three Phi Psi brothers . . . ' Twas a good plan and might have worked had circumstances been other- wise. the ' x point ot view ... Here is the way one rushee summed up the pros- pective frats: The Phi Psi ' s are the ambitious, up-an-coming fra- ternity. The Beta ' s are the conservative standbys. ' Hi NOVEMBER 1 9 ' 3 8 35 The Sigma Chi ' s are the ones who don ' t give a damn. He pledged Sigma Chi. One rushee told the Beta ' s that he had been led to think they had no individuality. He thought they were all supposed to act alike, walk alike, and especi- ally wear their trousers high. In true sincerity one innocent fellow asked if the Phi Delt house were the ad building. Then there ' s one fraternity which, after offering a rushee his whole house bill, was unable to pledge him. embarrassing moments At the Monday night formal dinner during rush week one of the Theta ' s, who is sadly near-sighted, was busily engaged in conversation with one of the prizes. So engrossed was she in impressing the rushee she did not realize that she was putting out her cigarette on the compact face of the rushee ' s beautiful new evening bag. Embarrassment cropped up in one fraternity be- cause of too many people with the same name. It seems there were three actives and two rushees whose names were Don. The rush captain called for an active named Don to come to his headquarters. When somebody came in his room, the harrassed rush captain began reading off concise instructions on how to rush a certain rushee named Don. Without paying particular attention to whom he was speaking, he asked Don how the plan appealed to him. Re- ceiving no answer, the rush captain turned around to discover that he was speaking not to the active, but to the rushee. midnight snacks Whether nights in Corbin Hall during girls ' rush week are dull, boys can ' t say. But on the second night three slightly inebriated lads decided to pep things up. Arriving about 1:30, they attracted some cuties to the balcony over the front porch. An offer of their services was met by a request on the part of the starving rushees for some sandwiches. To get the food up to the balcony, the girls tied sheets together and put a pillow case at the bottom. They had about half the sandwiches in their possession when the house mother appeared. Somehow the boys had set off her alarm. A stiff bawling-out and a threat to send those involved home came next, and a meeting of all rushees was called for the morning. Several, fearing they would not be allowed to pledge, went off to the housemother post haste with fit apologies. Result: nothing happened and the monotony was broken for awhile. strategy? The psychology of rushing is a masterful art and good pledge classes are the rewards to groups that can practice it successfully. But in some instances it backfires much to the consternation of its users. For instance, the Phi Delt ' s were working hard for two Topeka boys that the Beta ' s considered their own. In fact, the Phi Delt ' s had the Beta ' s exceedingly worried, for the two spent Thursday night with a staunch Phi Delt alum whose son went Phi Delt. In an effort to pin the boys and overcome the Beta complex, they started reciting the many traditions of the Woog- lins. At long last they came to the part about girls. You don ' t want to be a Beta, the Phi Delt ' s insisted. They don ' t let their pledges hang around the girls. Both went Beta. They ' re woman haters. no tall tales Because each rushee was given a mimeographed sheet telling the financial obligations of each fra- ternity there was a dearth of tall tales this year about housebills. And the general quietness didn ' t make anymore stories. About the best is the one saying that the Pi Phi ' s had seventy-five hours of flunk last semester and had been deprived of their social privileges. 36 THE JAYHAWKER BACK ON THE M O U N T OREAD ROOST, GLENN CUNNINGHAM LECTURES WHILE TRAINING FOR THE 194O OLYMPICS. By Roger Ludeman NOT AS a conquering hero, but as the quiet, unassuming fellow that he is, Glenn Cunningham, Kansas ' greatest athlete, has re- turned to the jayhawk roost atop Mount Oread. Since his departure three years ago, Cunningham has brought world-wide recognition to himself and Kansas. Foremost among his achievements are the world ' s fastest mile 4:04.4 run on the indoor track at Dartmouth last winter, fifty-one wins in sixty-one starts, and a year-in-year-out record of en- durance far surpassing all others. Not content to be an athlete alone, Cunningham has gone far in the field of education. Upon his graduation from the University, he went on to earn a master ' s degree from the University of Iowa in 1936. Probably as dear as all his track medals is the Ph. D. awarded him in July of this year by Columbia University. Cunningham returns to the Hill not in the capacity of coach or physical education instructor as would be expected, but as a mem- ber of the Extension Division of the University. His new job con- sists of visiting high schools over the state and delivering lectures. This will not endanger his amateur standing. His popularity as a lecturer is demonstrated by a story now being told. From a small town in the western part of the state came a re- quest that he bring along his medals and trophies when he spoke. Packing and shipping them would amount to about $25. Cun- ningham notified the committee and forgot about the matter, think- ing nobody would pay that much to see a collection of cups.

COMPOSER, DIRECTOR, SINGER, SACHEM PERHAPS THE busiest man in school is Jack Laffer. Last year he was treasurer and drum major of the University band. Early interested in music, at Wichita he was student director of his high school band. Here in three years his talents for showmanship have won for him wide acclaim. This versatile fellow in the role of composer wrote a skit for the Men ' s Glee Club. A combination of the Ritz Brothers and the Yacht Club Boys, it has been performed by the Glee Club on all its tours. It ' s really funny. When not writing or directing, he may be found doing one of four things. Sometimes he takes moving pictures, his hobby. Or sometimes he has a date, his favorite pastime. You might look in and see if he is studying. A good student, this senior in the School of Business is a past member of the Owl Society and now a Sachem. If you still haven ' t found him, the last place to look is the sofa at the Phi Delt house. Hopes to be a movie producer some day. Look for his work in the forthcoming operetta, Blossom Time, in which he takes the lead and does some of the directing. 38 THE JAYHAWKER I DON ' T AGREE with you at all, Ma.

Be- sides, it ' s about time Junior knew something about the facts of life. . . . Come here, Junior. This won ' t take long. The whole thing goes back to politics. We simply have to talk about politics before we can talk about the M.S.C. . . . What ' s that, Ma? What do you mean lurid details! Why politicians are sometimes very decent people. Eddie Rice assured me more than once that the Pachacamacs were simply lovely chaps. And Tony Immel ' s description of the P.S.G.L. stalwarts was so glowing it was practically unprintable. . . . My, I wonder how K.U. ' s politics will struggle along without those two. Heigh-ho! It won ' t be like the good old days. Well, well, where was I? Oh, yes, the politicians. The only real, honest-to-goodness politicians are the members of the P.S.G.L. Senate and the Pachacamac Inner Circle. They have meetings for countless weeks before the spring Student Council election, to organize the campaign. From all over the Hill they come, like bees to the hive in the evening.

Well, Junior, let ' s suppose, now, that the parties have worked up a few bedraggled issues of some kind issues which resemble the fabu- lous man upon the stair (who, as you very well know, wasn ' t there.) Then let ' s suppose that, after long discussion of each candi- date as to ancestry, bank account, influential acquaintances, and ward- robe, the parties finally manage to get their nominees nominated. Then the nightmare begins for the rank-and-file students. The campaign proceeds something like this. One evening in April you are diligently studying the American judicial system. Then a thunder- bolt strikes your shoulder-blades, a flash of lightning paralyzes your hand, and a gentle patter of words begins to beat upon your brain: Well, how are you!

(Continued on page 75) 40 THE JAYHAWKER THE JAYHAWKEK PUTS K.I Vs UN- CL ASSIFI ABLE LINES INTO A CLEARLY DEFINED SYSTEM. By Roderick Burton Editor ' s Note: Long has the problem of lines puzzled the great thinkers of the world. Euclid thought he had a good start towards putting them in order. But ever since, brilliant men have been trying to set up other systems. Most recalcitrant, most defiant of classifi- cation, most problematical of lines have been those found here at the I m versity. Only once in an age does there come a thinker capable of doing the im- possible, but that one is with us. Here in our midst is one who has logically once and for all settled the knotty K.I . lines. So it is with great pride that the Jayhawker announces that it has per- suaded that great metaphysician, Rode- rick Burton, who holds the chair of airology at nearby Bulle University, to take time off from the solving of his great philosophical system and write for us this memorable treatise that classifies and integrates into a logical system the principles of our lines. EUCLID was a great man, and all that, but he had no conception of K.U. lines. We mean the regis- tration line, the enrollment line, the physical examination line, the Chancellor ' s reception line, girls ' lines, and many other various lines. It has been an urgent neces- sity for many years that some one devise a geometry that is applicable to these lines. To do our part, we are offering the foundations of such a geometry with the hope that it may prove fruitful, if not proving anything else. DEFINITIONS AND POSTULATES 1. A line is aline. 2. A line is composed of alto- gether too many people, who do nothing but stand around and wait in it. 3- There are three classes of lines: A. A wrong line is one in which you are and in which you have no business being. When this occurs, you have committed a faux pas, or an error. B. A right line is one you are never in the first time. It is said to go where you are supposed to go. If you get in the right line, you have committed a coup d ' etat, which is similar to a home run in baseball. C. A non-existent line is one the freshmen form to buy caps. It is the shortest line known. 4. A circle is that which you travel when you end up where you started. It should be handled with care, as at times it is vicious. 5. A plane is the shortest thing between two air fields. 6. A proposition is a thing which it is usually smart to reject. The question is: Can you prove it? 7. An axiom is the moral of a fable, couched in ambiguous and inunderstandable terms. 8. A K.U. term is 18 weeks. Other terms range from 30 days to life. 9. A contradiction is something that is and isn ' t at the same time. It is quite inconsistent, to say noth- ing of being slightly confusing. 10. The earth is round or flat. (It really doesn ' t make any dif- ference: we just thought we ' d show off our knowledge. Or ignorance. ) 11. Intersections: A. The intersection of two lines is a mistake. B. The intersection of three lines is a traffic jam. C. The intersection of four or more lines is a football stadium. D. The intersection of two planes is a wreck, capable of pro- ducing large newspaper headlines. 12. A line moves forward. This cannot be proven, regardless of what any one says, but it must be assumed true if we are to get any- where in this geometry of lines.

TWO-THIRDS of this article could be written in praise of Coach Adrian Lindsey and his new deal in Kansas football. The other third should best be left blank. However, after the first three hands, Getto, Crayne and company don ' t seem to be holding such a bad hand as the first third of the Kansas schedule becomes past history. The Jayhawkers appear to have plenty of aces this year even though they looked like the deuce at South Bend, and deuces weren ' t very wild Only two weeks before the opening game equipment was checked out and soon the squad was passing. By William Fitzgerald in that affair. The less said about Notre Dame the better. That may have been the game every team has in its system, and it probably is a good thing the game is past and nearly forgotten. Certainly from the manner in which the Lindsey Lads rebounded against highly touted Washburn the next Satur- day, the Jayhawkers do not intend to let the game weigh on their minds for the rest of the season. When Lindsey called the first practice September 1 he found he busy at fundamentals such as kicking, blocking, had a large bunch of lettermen and a very neat array of sophomores from which to pick. Ralph Miller, all around athletic star from Cha- nute, was perhaps looked to as the leading sophomore light, but Ed Hall, Bill Bunsen, Monte Merkel, Frank Bukaty, Steve Renko, John Burge, Quido Massare, and Curtice Jenkins were other first year men who were really being counted on. Veteran backs included such men as Max Replogle, who played such great ball all last season, slippery Dick Amerine, Lyman Divens, Paul Masoner, Milt Meier, Cald- well, and Cadwalader. Returning linemen were led by Ferrel Ander- son, Chuck Warren and Dave Shirk, all mentioned on previous all-Big Six teams; Fred Bosilevac and Mike Sihlanek, veteran tackles; Jack Turner, Russell Chit- wood, Dan Rhule, Wayne Wilson, and Bill Lenhart. Two short weeks later the Lind- sey hopefuls were supposedly to be led to slaughter before Dana Bible ' s University of Texas Long- horns here at Memorial Stadium. As the first half ended it appeared Lindsey and playmates had stacked the cards. Kansas was leading by the unbelievable score of 19-0. Miller had already put himself in the headlines by pitching a touch- down pass to Dave Shirk early in the first period, and then inter- cepting a Texas pass and dashing 90 yards down the sidelines while his mates were bulldog- ging the Longhorns for him. The temperature at the time was around 95 and Mr. Miller was begin- ning to get hot under the collar. He was removed to the refrigerating room. But that didn ' t stop the Kansans. Max Replogle came in and he was as hard to catch at cholera is from a butter fly. Replogle finally culminated a drive by dashing 25 yards to the Teaxs one-yard line, and Ed Hall lugged the ball over from there. At this point, little Chester Gib- bens, previously unheard of, was trotted into the game, and Chester pulled an old gag by drop-kicking (yes, that ' s what he did) the extra point. Chester was immediately rushed from the game, and his one point didn ' t look so big at the time. The first half heat had either worn the Kansas team out or the Texans were just getting warmed up. Maybe it was Dana Bible who pulled a few strings, but whatever Scrimmage was an early dish on the practice menu Photo by Bert Brandt Middle photo by Bert Brandt Fullback Ed Hall plunged one yard to score the third touchdown against Texas and set the stage for Gib bens ' dropkick. On the first play after he lost the ball on a fumble, Ralph Miller intercepted a Texas pass and dashed 90 yards for a touchdown. Camera- man Bert Brandt scampered 90 yards after him to score this shot. Miller shot a short pass to Dave Shirk for the first Kansas points. Cheerleader Jack Ncssly ' s card displays featured the halfttme activities of the Wash- burn game. Pbolo by Rrrl Brand! Noticeably irked at a referee ' s decision in Washburn bout are Coaches Lindsey and Getto. it was the Texans led by Wallace Lawson and Beefus Bryan un- leashed a short passing attack that left everyone groggy. They scored one touchdown in the third quarter, and came back in the fourth with two more. The final score was Kansas 19, Texas 18, and Chester Gibbens ' toe had provided the dif- ference. While Kansas was naturally jubilant over defeating the Texans, that last half left them wondering about their shaky pass defense. Backfield stars in that first en- counter might be listed as Miller, Ed Hall, Bill Bunsen, bone crush- ing co-fullback along with Hall, Paul Masoner, who called an excel- lent game from quarterback, Max Replogle, Dick Amerine, and what was that other fellow ' s name oh yes, Chester Gibbens. Outstanding in the line were Ferrel Anderson and Chuck Warren, but they got good support from Massare, Chit- wood, Renko, Burge, Sihlanek, Bosilevac, Jenkins, Rhule, Lenhart, Turner and Merkel. Chapter Two in the spisode might be called, A Lesson in Arithmetic or Eighty-four Men and No Horses. Notre Dame didn ' t need the horses as they gal- loped over the Jayhawkers October 1, at South Bend, but they did use all 84 men they had suited up. Kansas had entered this game as the underdogs again, but no one figured they would go so far under. The Lindsey Lads started off with a bang, and appeared to be going places with Amerine doing most of the ball carrying, but a fumbled punt in their own territory about midway in the first quarter was the signal for the Irish to go to work. When they had finished some 53 minutes of playing time later, they had piled up 52 points to none for Kansas. Experts in the press box were. undivided in their praise of the work done by Center Charles Chuck Warren, and Guard Fer- rel Anderson of the Kansas team, and Ralph Miller ' s passing again was a high spot although the sopho- more star spent a bad afternoon to hold onto the ball. Another sophomore, Steve Renko, played well at end. It was hard to pick an individual star from the Irish ranks as they all played well, but Joe Benor, probable all-American whom Anderson described as one of the best linemen he had seen; Ed Simonich, Ben Sheridan, Lou Zontini and Mario Tonelli seemed to be doing the most damage. An ankle injury to Anderson in that game meant his loss to the squad for at least a week or two, (Continued on page 73 ) Big Bill Bumen took a fourth quarter lateral from Miller and galloped over to add to Kansas ' points against Washburn Photo by Bert Brandt NOVEMBER 1938 45 4co4e toy came, tout, tltafa only haty the, k tlte, ottt i waA, SM FELLOW5, DOM ' T LIKE THE WAf THIS RE.F BEEN TREATING WORKING US TO DEATH EH V 01?

Clyde Smith, titian-haired suc- cessor to Red Blackburn, has added his talented aggregation of musicians to the University ' s sup- ply of dance bands which, inci- dentally, is one of the best in the middle west. Smitty, as he is known on the Campus, organized his band in Lawrence about the first of August, building it around a nucleus of five members from Blackburn ' s band of last year. The boys practiced no less than eight hours a day for four days getting in shape for their opening engagement at Sugar Lake near Atchison. Im- mediately following its appearance there, the band departed for Dallas to fulfill a week ' s engagement at the El Tivoli Club. From there it went to Tulsa for a short engagement at the May- fair Club. Returning to Lawrence, the boys played several dances in nearby cities, including a private party at the Hotel Muehlebach, a rush party at Emporia, and again at Sugar Lake. Smith ' s style of swing has been readily and enthusiastically ac- cepted by the students, and he and his band are increasing in popu- larity with each dance they play. A swing specialist of the first water, Smith points with pride to the ef- fective arrangement of South- land, a group of some of the better known songs of the South dressed up in swing. Give us a little time, declares the smiling maestro, and we ' ll have one of the best bands in this section of the country. Members of Smith ' s band who were with Blackburn last year are: Hal Bellinger, first trombonist and creator of some of those swell ar- rangements you ' ve been hearing; Lynn Hackler, trumpet artist and also first class arranger; Ken Wal- lace, who slaps the bass fiddle; Wilson Flemming, third alto sax; and Lyle Samples, the boy who (Continued on page 78) THE It I DHII ll II SUCCESSOR TO A REDHEADED BLACKRURN AND WHO COMPLETES THE CAMPUS MUSICAL TRINITY.

Clyde Smith is the new music maestro on the Hill this year. Favoring the new swing music, Smitty as he is to his Kappa Sig brothers, has caught the popular fancy of the student body with his scintillat- ing rhythm. Well known at K.U. in past years as first tenor in Ross Robertson ' s Modern Choir and president of the University Band, in which he trumpeted, this is the first year that Clyde has become a regular with the dance bands here at Lawrence. Having played dances ever since he was fourteen years old he was practically weaned on a music score in high school. Says he has no special interests out- side of girls and music. However, he bowls well and plays an excellent game of golf, only holding the course record in his home town, Dodge City. A senior in the School of Business this year, Smitty is president of the Senior Class. However, he plans to be back to lead the band again next fall. Regarding the trend of music he says, Music of present style will stay in for several years. Dixieland style of music will become more prominent in the near future. I believe that Artie Shaw has one of the fastest rising bands in the country. No hack bandmaster is Smith. For him playing a dance is not work, but lots of fun. And Smitty cracks one of those big, sincere smiles when he says that. More students than ever use new furniture in the redeco- rated lounge. By Bill Tyler lite. CONNECTED WITH NO LABOR GROUP, THIS UNION CONSTANTLY IMPROVES AND EX- PANDS ITS SERVICES. SOMEBODY once said that a great teacher on one end of a log and an eager pupil on the other made a college. Those days are gone forever. Modern colleges and universities must have equip- ment well supplied laboratories, huge libraries, auditoriums where students may meet in masses to gain inspiration from seeing and hearing current world leaders. But the greatest benefits to be found by a college student are those derived from associ- ation with other students. As early as 1919 students and alumni set about to erect upon the Campus a memorial in memory of those one hundred and thirty-one University of Kansas men and women who gave their lives in the World War. It was to be a memorial that would serve the University of the future a memorial that would stand as a living monument for the one hundred thirty-one. Feeling that the University needed a place for the development of personal con- tacts and a democratic comradeship, a committee. made of Chancellor E. H. Lindley, Prof. F. E. Melvin, Prof. W. J. Baumgartner, Dr. Forrest C. Allen, and others believed that a student union building should be included as a part of the University ' s World War memorial. Funds also were to be used in building a Memorial Stadium and the statue of Uncle Jimmy Green. The goal was set at $1,000,000, and in the fall of 1920 the University started the first drive for sub- scriptions. During the campaign 11,800 students, alumni, and friends of the University pledged $965,- 391. Three-fourths of the pledges were paid out be- fore the Memorial corporation returned the unpaid pledges to the signers. The spirit back of these pledges needs no explanation, for it is the same spirit that led men to sacrifice their lives for their country. Likewise it is the spirit of sacrificing a little for the University in recognition of what it has done for the students. In June, 1926, the cornerstone of the building was laid on the steep slope just north of Dyche Museum, NOVEMBER 1 9 ' 3 8 49 and in October, 1927, the doors were opened for stu- dents to enter. The structure was furnished in the traditional Kansas pay as you go manner. This policy, financially safe as it was, nevertheless led to the use of some rooms which still had unfinished ceilings and unplastered walls. As pledges matured, the Union was furnished gradually and brought nearer to completion so that today only a portion of the third floor remains unfinished. Changes and additions this summer were finishing and furnishing of the Old English room and service kitchen; complete refurnishing of the lounge; in- stallation of a new radio and public address system; addition of the Camera Club darkroom and new equipment in the men ' s recreation room; and painting of murals on the cafeteria and fountain walls. Approximately every three days the entire student body of the University visits the Union building. Hundreds of students eat daily in the cafeteria; many more utilize the fountain; and up in the ballroom the mid-week varsity is seldom attended by fewer than a thousand, and week-end varsities and class parties are given to scarcely less. Students find the Union a delightful place for a between class wait, for meeting friends from out of town, for hearing a radio report of a world ' s series baseball game or of a football game. At Homecoming, commencement, and similar times this spacious and inviting place is a much appreciated headquarters for returning alumni. For University receptions and as a gathering place for any school function it is so com- fortable and convenient, that students, faculty and alumni constantly use it. On the first floor of the Memorial Union is the reception room which includes what is known as the alleyway, a terrazzo-floored promenade landing from the main front entrance to the rear where one may go upstairs to the dance floor or down stairs to the cafeteria; a check room; the main lounge and, par- titioned off from it at opposite ends, the men ' s lounge and the women ' s room. All lounge rooms are fur- nished with leather covered, over-stuffed chairs and divans, reading tables, radio, game tables including chess, checkers and cards, and in the men ' s lounge, a fireplace. Students may check out current magazines from the main desk. Appropriately, this alleyway and series of lounges has been well called the University ' s living room. One story below the lounge is the cafeteria which covers an entire floor of the present unit. It has one alcove partitioned off by folding, sound-proof doors, making a unique place for special dinners and ban- quets. This fall, a private booth system was inaug- urated in the cafeteria. Below the cafeteria is the sub-basement level, which, because the Union is built on a hillside, opens directly out on the street running behind the build- ing. Found on this floor are a soda fountain, book exchange, game rooms for pool and billiards, and ping pong, and offices of the Y.M.C.A., Sour Owl, and Student Union Activities committee. Back up stairs, one story above the lounge, is the main party and banquet room. It is here that the building proves itself of the most value. Dances are held each Wednesday night and usually one or more each week-end. It is estimated that dances draw 7,000 students each month to the Memorial Union ball- room. The floor has a capacity of 400 couples. Famous name bands that have played here in past years include Joe Venuti, Fletcher Henderson, Ben Pollack, Andy Kirk, Buddy Fisher, and Bob Crosby. On the third floor are rooms for meetings on each end of the high-roofed ballroom. Each is finished in knotty pine lumber and the room on the west is ( Continued on page 75 ) Finished three months ago was this atmospheric sister to the Pine Room.

By Helen Gets FIRST event of the University women ' s intramurals program in the fall is the annual sports Pow- Wbw sponsored by the Women ' s Athletic Association. So on September 29, under the direction of Mary Kay Lattner, president of W.A.A., and Miss Ruth Hoover, women ' s director of physical education, the sports managers of the association put on stunts to show University freshmen women what sports will be offered in intramural competition through- out the year. D. J. Willcuts acted as toastmistress. The all around program in- cludes choices of volleyball, horse- shoes, handball, golf, and tennis singles for the fall season. In the winter there are basketball, basket- ball free throw, ping pong, darts, and swimming. And during the spring season baseball, horseshoes, deck tennis, tennis doubles, and golf are offered. Points are given for entering and for winning these sports. In- dividual cups go to the organi- zations winning each major sport and a much coveted trophy is pre- sented by the intramural office to the organization collecting the greatest number of points during the year. In the event that an indepen- dent group wins, individual medals are presented, and the cup goes to the organization having next highest rank. Individual high point winners Wisler, Geis, and Willcuts look over their medals. Most outstanding award made at the Pow-Wow was the big championship cup which went to Kappa Kappa Gamma for the fifth consecutive year. Corbin Hall ranked second and Pi Beta Phi third. Group winners receiving cups or medals for individual major sports were: Corbin Hall first in volleyball, horseshoes, handball, tennis singles, and ping pong both singles and doubles; T.N.T. ' s won baseball, thus receiving medals as the cup went to the Kappa ' s; I.W. W. ' s were tops in basketball with the Kappa ' s runner-up; Pi Beta Phi again repeated in swimming, and the Kappas finished first in the ten- nis doubles team play.

Outside, the Hill is quiet its sidewalks, barren; its buildings, dark. Inside the news- room, painted likenesses of Wil- liam Rockhill Nelson, Joseph Pu- litzer, Horace Greeley, and a dozen famous Kansas journalists gaze mournfully down from their un- comfortable positions on the wall. They see a cluttered room. Racked newspapers decorate the highvaulted newsroom ' s north wall. Silent typewriters rest in their pews on parallel tables. The slot, like a huge half-moon, bears its burden of tip sheets, copy paper, news schedules, page dummies- ancient and useless though not twenty-four hours old. Telephones stand mute with one arm akimbo and waste baskets show their in- nards. In the shop below silence keeps company with the dim halflight. Only a few short hours ago, quiet settled over the Journalism shack as the Duplex press ceased its grind- ing and shoved forth its last Kansan. Thermostats on linotype machines switch on and off their clicks disturbing the stillness not unlike punctuation marks inserted in a lengthy sentence. And the gro- tesque arms of linotypes no longer swing down and forward in ir- regular rhythm. But another newspaper day has started.

He leaves and in his wake the floor is free of paper. Waste baskets, again empty, yawn hungrily. With the 8:30 whistle, em- bryonic journalists stroll into the news room dragging last puffs from cigarette stubs. They congre- gate about the bulletin board on the south wall, stoop over the water fountain, converse in small groups, swing their legs as they sit on tables and read of the morning ' s news. Chattering like magpies they quickly disperse to classes. Throughout the morning, the newsroom fills and empties again with the periodic raucous sound of the whistle. Meanwhile, the news editor seats himself at a typewriter and pecks out the top sheet for the day. He consults his date book; lists events that have been forecast. He adds possible stories that may crop up. He types re porters ' beats and hopes to high heaven some her- alded event hasn ' t been forgotten that would mean a scoop for the Lawrence papers. By early afternoon, however, the grind starts. The campus editor, perched in the swivel chair at the slot, glances at the news sheet and growls at the scanty material listed thereon. Student reporters enter, sign in for their beats, and walk out. The telephone jangles and the campus editor lifts the receiver speaking into the mouthpiece, Daily Kansan, hoping for some For Editor Addingcon, or any other policy- planner, keeping edi- torial pages fresh proves no small prob- lem.

Late copy irks them. Soon after putting the paper to bed, the sun and delivery boys will be hurriedly arriving. THE JAY HAWKER dramatic incident to buzz across the wires. But it ' s merely a routine dis- patch and he yells reporter at a group by the door. Continuing his duties, he head- lines copy, signs out reporters for the afternoon ' s concert, sees that the Chancellor ' s bulletin is picked up, and that the visiting speaker is interviewed. Copy readers sit op- posite him, sometimes correcting mistakes, writing heads, chewing pencils, checking names, gossiping. Slowly the wire baskets fill with typewritten and pencil-marked sheets and then rattle down the chute to the composing room. By mid-afternoon students bend over clicking typewriters, banging cylinders like reports of a car ' s ex- haust. They translate mysterious, penciled notes, and try to re- member when ' s, what ' s and where- fore ' s. Others sit languidly in their chairs discussing politics, Satur- day ' s game, and some discourteous professor who assigned a lesson. In the editorial sanctum the editor-in-chief worries over filling the editorial columns for the day and he comments on labor, governments, swing music and October weather. He prods his columnists to write their stuff before the 3 o ' clock deadline. He jumps down the stairs to the com- posing room and scowls at the ads filling page two. No room for a feature he decides. Back at his desk he pencils copy, trying to think of some new, pert- inent topic to write about, but knows again that the day is another dull one, with no fireworks to startle readers into glancing over his columns. With evening, the managing editor takes over the desk. Tension increases. The deadline approaches as the clock ' s hands circle its face. The sports editor turns in his stories, prognosticating tomorrow ' s foot- ball game; his column discusses other games and players; he subtlely sideswipes another col- legiate sports columnist in a neigh- boring school. He tells the manag- ing ed that the intramurals dope will be in as soon their games are over. In deep thought, the Shinster prepares his dope. He gazes at the walls and types two words at a time. Finally, in disgust, he pounds furiously and hands in his column for the day. In it are headaches for Hill personalities. Answering the phone, calling fraternities and sororities, the society editor reports the Hill ' s pledging, parties, visitors, and din- ners. Her items pass through the id, tke Receiving not one cent from the activity fund, the University Daily Kansan must pay its own way. From advertising and subscriptions only comes its revenue. Volunteer workers fill all editorial and news po- sitions. From the ranks of volunteers, each nine weeks- the Kansan board, a student group, chooses an editor and managing editor.

Edwin Browne and Orman Wanamaker are business and advertising managers respectively for the year. desk man ' s hands and are sent down the chute to be grabbed by waiting linotype operators. Throughout the afternoon, the business manager and his assistant, the advertising manager, have combed the streets and byways of Lawrence in search of ads. Selling and economizing, they strive to keep the Kansan ' s accounts in black ink and to see that the self-support- ing paper ' s wheels are kept run- ning. They consult anxiously with printers; design ads; mark their position in the paper; and plan to fill again the blank sheets that forecast tomorrow ' s paper. Their work is co-ordinated with the news and editorial end by the Kansan publisher, who receives the brunt of criticisms and faculty admo- nitions. In the sub-basement, lights shine brightly and polished, new metal is dumped into galleys. Operators ' hands glide over complex key- boards. Proofs are brought in by the reader, marked with the symbols of his craft. The printer glances at page schedules, places ads in marked positions, squeezes type into chases, tightens quoins. Upstairs, as time relent- lessly drives on, the manag- ing editor plans his front page. In the alcove above, the United Press phone interrupts his task and the telegraph editor clambers up the stairs to take the news of the outside world.

For some time our friends have been harping on that, but we never saw the light. However, it finally is dawning upon us that our provincialism is preventing our carrying on a simple conversation with others. Seem- ingly every house on the Hill has its own vernacular. And ignorant we are of any but our own. Only the other evening we were trying to put across an idea to an outsider. There came the opportunity to use what we thought a common but colorful expresion, whipped off, and there came an accompanying look of bewilderment on our friend ' s face. Seeing that explanation was needed, we volunteered bushed. He returned with a Pardon me, but ... And we further explained that we meant fluffed. Still he didn ' t catch on, so we finally attempted an English translation. But that ' s as far as we got an attempt. These expressions defied adequate trans- lation. And since we knew nothing of his lingo, we had no common ground. Which convinced us that it was time to crawl out of our shell and find out how the other 4,999 talked. Our fond dream that our house alone was setting the style in Hill talk was rudely shattered. Ere the first snow comes, we hope to have learned how to talk with others, although we shall not read Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch ' s great tome on Jargon. We doubt that it would help us any- way. MOKE HI : THE SOI7R OWL Not in good taste is it to malign a rival publiaction. But we can ' t let the occasion pass, although we are doubtless laying ourselves open to future slaughter. One year ago in the Jay hawker there appeared a paragraph explaining the whyness of the then present condition of the Sour Owl. Reason given was it was produced in a vacuum. (For full technical proof, see the Jayhau ' ker, volume 50, page 28.) No longer in a state of debility, the Owl seems headed for a pros- perous year, so apparently that pneumatic phenome- non has been corrected. But so it seems to us still needed is a vacuum cleaner, or to be more nasty, the installation of a new sanitary system. Well, we can ' t say that we didn ' t ask for it. JELLY AND STUDY Perhaps it ' s just a case of sophomoritus, but we can ' t see much hope for this year ' s freshman class, or at least that part of it we have observed. It seems to do nothing but study and jelly. Thus far this year we have not frequented the library, but those who have report that is perpetually filled with freshmen. With such a bad start it is hard to see how the class can amount to much. And whereas last year we and most of the class had to be bullied and threatened with physical violence before we would even ask for a date, this crop, whenever it isn ' t poring over a book, may be found with a girl in tow. Study and steadies: such sissies! It looks like a tough year for us veterans for getting girls and grades. BETA HUMOR No organization on the Hill takes such a verbal beating as does that of Beta Theta Pi. For that they ' ll get none of our sympathy as the Beta ' s seem to relish being singled out by the mob as an object of derision. But the excuse for even mentioning them is that the Beta ' s serve as the foundation for a whole system of humor. Let any joke be a Beta joke and it immediately becomes a classic however intrinsically devoid of humor it may be. For an example we shall exhume that malodorous hoax perpetrated .in On ' -, the Shin some time ago. The question was: Why do NOVEMBER 1938 57 all Beta ' s have hairy ears? Answer: Because they ' re Beta ' s. One would have far to search before finding anything more asinine, more utterly devoid of humor. Yet that same acme of asininity brought loud guffaws from all but the Beta ' s and their betrothed. And in its last, the Sour Owl also made some invaluable con- tributions to Beta humor. Despite the disdainful looks on their faces, we believe the Beta ' s like it. NATURALLY AND NATURAL Women will go to great lengths to make them- selves alluring. Naturally, that is to be expected, but we do wish they would be more natural about it. Nobody asked our opinion, but we are volunteering it just the same. One Pi Phi beauty is reported now to be in the stages of transition from brunette to red- head. No doubt she ' ll be very attractive in her new color, but for those who remember her in the old days, she will be very much not quite so alluring. And she ' s sticking her neck out for some stiff whacks from her own sex. Then there ' s the little Kappa cutie that is definitely with. Yet periodically close observation reveals that her hair near the roots is considerably darker than toward the golden tip. Somehow that rather detracts from the with, al- though she is still left with aplenty. Excusable will be a crutch for nature if a certain Pi Phi does not welch on a football bet. WHEN TO STUDY? Somehow we ' ve always admired those tight-lipped, quiet, efficient fellows who can get their studying done in the afternoon and evening and go to bed at eleven. In our case we find it next to impossible to do any real studying until our roomies have gone to bed. It is far too easy to get in conventional bull ses- sions. But for all our envy of the efficient fellow, we feel that ours is as good a plan. During the rat sessions we study life, though often in a distorted light, and in the wee, quiet hours really barrel it on the books. The only question is of how long can one ' s health stand such a liberal education? SOP TO THE CONSERVATIVES Especially gratifying to staid conservatives is the absence of any freaks like the Big Apple from ball- room floors. Still strong, however, is swing. A year ago no party was complete without a total let-down of inhibitions in a rhythmic Big Apple. Nine months ago a party would have been old stuff with it. And as yet the Lambeth Walk is not with us, so those whose sense of rhythm is nil need not quake. Helping everyone forget the lack of dance crazes is the unseasonable weather. With steak fry and hayrack ride weather still on hand, nobody bewails the dance situation except the dance manager who would just as soon have something around which to rally interest. SLEEP College women should certainly live longer than the men. At least they certainly get much more sleep. Average nights a survey of Hill houses will show that by twelve or even before most sorority houses are completely dark. On the other hand, most fraternity houses will be at least half lighted. Which indicates that the boys either are more care- less and leave their lights on all night or they stay up later. House fines make the latter the only plausible conclusion. And yet the girls have higher grade point averages. Sleep must help the brain function as well as keep the circles from under the eyes. 58 THE JAYHAWKER FALL VOI( KOI I s INDICATE THAT KANSAS WILL NOT AGAIN BE THE DOORMAT IN BIG SIX SPRING SPORTS By Larry Winn ALTHOUGH the University of Kansas did not shine in the 1938 spring sports season, its prospects for turning out some fine material for the coming year are much brighter. Spring sports include track, golf, tennis and baseball. These are not the rugged, rambling type of ath- letics such as football and baseball, but can be productive of thrills, especially track and baseball. The Kanasas Relays always monopo- lizes the limelight in the spring; therefore, students have a tendency to forget the fine showing made by the athlete participating in spring sports. The 1938 Kansas golf team, which was favored to cop first place, was able only to tie for third place with Iowa State in the Big Six. Oklahoma ran off with the cup with Nebraska the runner-up. Most of the 1938 lettermen are back with the addition of other fine golfers on the Hill. Coach Glenn Oatman is pointing for a cham- pionship this year. The subject of baseball around the Campus was not spoken of in soft tones because the Jayhawkers ended up in fifth place, trailed only by Iowa State. The team was placed in charge of Coach Ray Conger, who had little material and few lettermen to work with. Coach Conger is expecting a new and bet- ter crop of baseball material for the coming season. The University of Kansas track team had a few stars in its fold, but as a point-winning group, it could not be regarded with much en- thusiasm. Coach Bill Hargiss had no Glenn Cunningham last year, but he did have a group of ener- getic and habitual trainers, and a fine group of freshmen have come a long way since last spring. A cinch point winner will be Captain Lyle Foy, Big Six dash champion, who should again show his heels to his competitors. Foy will probably run anchor man on the relay teams. Other lettermen back include Chester Friedland, who should come back in the shot put after a disappointing year. Also in the weights will be Bill Bunsen. Fen Durand, will be working hard to regain the Big Six javelin crown he won in his sophomore year. Crunching the cinders will be Paul Masoner in the hurdles, broad jump and relays. Ralph Miller should have a bright future in the low hurdles and pole vault. Besides Foy there are dash men galore: Glenn Foy, Darrell Mathis, and Wayne Nees. The quarter mile seems to hold the popular position with Dick Ash, Cris Eberhardt, Don Merriman and Bill Greene trying for the event. The distance runners are now practicing by run- ning over a course that includes parts of the Campus proper and stadium. These are Ernest Klann, Ray Harris, Chet Cox, Dale Heck- endorn, Joe Ryan, Max Replogle, and Charles Toberen. ( Continued on page 71) Mitchell Photo by Bert Brandt. Write-up by Louise Bowen. IT GIRL, MUSICIAN, ACTIVITY WOMAN . . COFFEYYILLE, crossing point for Kansas-Okla- homa badmen, has produced Roberta Mitchell, who seems to have stolen more than her share of the hearts, from all Kansan society item reports. A trip east this summer convinced her that West Point uni- forms are just wonderful and so is Flirtation Walk. She plays no mean game of bridge and would rather dance than eat, but doesn ' t forget to take time out for study. Donald Duck will bring her to the movies any day of the week, while Tommy Dorsey is the favorite orchestra. Mitch collects autographs, and with an interest in dramatics she renders a wonderful Little Ollie ask her sometime. Being in School of Fine Arts and president of Chi Omega doesn ' t seem to take all her time, for her varied activities include Jay Janes, Mu Phi Epsilon, W.S.G.A. officer, Modern Choir, Dean ' s Choir, K. U. orchestra, Women ' s Pan- Hell, freshmen adviser, Quack Club, Student Union Activity Board, Honors Convocation for two years, and one of the freshmen beauty queens. These make her one of the ranking activity women of the Hill. Greatest ambition is to be happily married, but wants to return for a degree in violin before choosing the lucky man. A conventional tour of VC ' estern Europe took Bill Grant to Munich where he saw the building (corner of first picture) where the historic four-power agreement recently was made to dismember Czechoslovakia But after going through the majestic Alps into France, he garbed himself thusly and procured a $60 motorcycle. Alone he made a 2000-mile junket over France. Near Verdun he saw crumbling machine gun nests and unfilled trenches. Scattered remains of what was once a church mutely testify to the efficiency of heavy artillery. V ,-- D V Kansan managing editor Louie Fockele and Shinster Jim Robertson began a six-week summer course in Mexicology when they headed south- ward in a battered T. Traveling the main road, they often got off into the sticks to see what is the real Mexico. The fellow behind the goggles is Jim, and he serving as a foreground for a view of the highest point on the Mexico City road. Favored by an exceedingly low rate of exchange, the boys made a little American money go a long way so that they could see things leisurely and linger in what constitutes Mexi- can luxuriousness in small towns towns that afforded them distinctive views through vaulted arches and from which a short drive would take In-ill to disintegrating pyramids. Friendly enough were well-chape- roned and not un-American-looking tenoritas who invited them on = picnic. Fockele took these pictures. 4 CVtr o iL J 7. f Tr Sit-J I S fiSrSj iL+ j r f f %J A, rv( M K i jL c f i |lv ' S t- Jr 4 ' -f ' fL Y l-TTZJj kv -r ?) rHi ,1 - 1 I 1-EKZ4 ! HHr w rf t ' ?

Note how favorably the well-groomed American cemetery contrasts with the unkempt German one. For some reason German crosses are black. Strange to American eyes are the narrow, crooked streets of French towns. Thoroughly comfortable and lazy looking are the sprawling houses of Southern France. Still intact and standing are the walls of this medieval town although it is really more modern than it looks. k FOR SOME. From June till September University students break their routine of the other nine months and go their own 5000 ways. Seniors go into an even more rigid routine a steady job. Others travel. Many more go home to broil under a hot Kansas sun. Most probably get a job for the summer so that the next fall will again find them on Mount Oread. Glad as the average student is when finals are over in the spring, he or she is equally glad when registration time approaches in the fall. For some the past summer provided unforgettable experiences; for others, only a dull spot in their life. But for all the summer marked a period in life. This is how some spent that period ; ). k to ' Hardly a vacation was the summer for Milton Sullivam and Max Rep- logle, who probably worked harder than most Jayhawkers. But Lawrence ice customers saw to it that the two were in shape for football. This space is reserved for the picture that might have been taken, but never was, of Sour Owlsters LaBan and Claasen engaged in a heated library steps argu- ment with Jayhawkermen Littooy and Yoe with M.

Come on, get in there and get that guy. Such shouts inaug- urated the 1938-39 men ' s intra- mural football competition. How- ever, these contests were closely fol- lowed by fall horseshoes, handball, and tennis. This year touch football has at- tracted the largest following in its history, with twenty-three eleven- men teams entered along with seven six-men B teams. The B teams are those six-men teams entered by organizations who al- ready have eleven-men teams in competition. The Phi Gams and Phi Psis are already recognized as the teams to beat. These two finished first and second respectively last year. An early Phi Psi 21-0 victory over the Triangles followed by a decisive 38-0 trouncing of the A.T.O. ' s proves this contention, while the Phi Gams were being upset 6-0 by the Delta Taus. However, last year the Phi Gams also lost an early season contest and then went on to win the championship, so cannot be counted out yet. A two-team race is not expected, for the Betas, Sigma Chis and Delts should prove plenty salty before the play-offs roll around in November. New rules have been drafted in an attempt to soften up the game. Last year there was an epidemic of injuries that caused much unfavor- able comment. Also the fields are being graded. Physical exami- nations are required for all partici- pants. Basketball is the next major sport of the year. Last season this sport had the largest team fol- lowing of all intramural sports, having forty-four teams competing. Volleyball came in for its share of patronage as a popular winter sport. Seventeen teams were en- tered with more expected this year. Swimming concluded the winter sports, clearing the slate for the popular spring competition. Most popular of spring sports is play-ground ball, with thirty-three teams having been entered in four divisions last year. Horseshoes and tennis make their second appear- ance of the year along with track. In these sports competition is by both team and individual entry. This year intramural events may, if the interest warrants, be expanded to new fields. Some being con- sidered are archery, fencing, and badminton. Wrestling, not held last year, may return to the pro- gram, but this has not as yet been decided. The biggest reason for hesitation in adopting new sports is the lack of facilities. Present facilities are taxed to the limit now a new field house would be the answer to a bigger and better intra- mural program. When total points for last year were figured, Beta Theta Pi had won its third straight intramural cup with Phi Delta Theta second. Both amassed many points in in- dividual events. Coming from tenth to third in one year were the Phi Kappa Psis, who along with the fourth place Sigma Alpha Epsil ons probably presented the greatest strength in team events. In case any would like to know what happens to the money paid for entering a team in intramurals, they can go to some of the larger organizations on the Hill and view their display of cups. The entry fee charged is used to buy these tro- ( Continued on page 72) Write-up by Mary Jane Sigler Write-up by Maurice JacktoH Write-up by Anne Browning Before coming to Kansas this fall, Alan Holske had never been farther west than Phila- delphia, was surprised to find so many trees and hills in Kansas. He likes the individualism and spontaneity of the middle-westerners says tney are the truly American people. Prefers small-town life to the cosmopolitan society in and about New York City. While an under- graduate student, he became deeply interested in modern Germanic literature and pursued it until he had received his bachelor ' s, master ' s, and doctor ' s degrees in that field ( all three of them from Harvard. ) Has taught at Radcliffe, Princeton, and Harvard While at Harvard was first assistant to two of the German exchange professors. Added to his academic laurels by attending University of Leipzig. Vacationed last summer in South America. Goes in for bicycling, and would like to perfect his chess game. Not strange is it that a former Kansan re- turns to his native state after several years in the East to teach at his state university. So it is natural that W. W. Deschner should come back to Kansas. His preparatory school edu- cation was obtained in Beloit, and he took his undergraduate work at Washburn College. Was awarded his Ph. D. in chemical engineering from the University of Michigan after three and a half years ' study. Was elected to Sigma Xi and had an assistantship during his graduate work. Is especially interested in pe- troleum engineering and should be of great help to that new department here. During his graduate study he traveled extensively in the East visiting many of the larger and more important industrial concerns. Is particularly impressed by the type people who come to the University. Disliked the foreign element so prevalent in eastern schools. Marston McCluggage, former K.U. student returns to his Alma Mater this year to join the rank and file of those associated with the sociology department. He received his A.B. degree from K. U., has done graduate work in Growth of Collectivism in Recreation in the United States. Before coming to K.U., he was for ten years principal of Lawrence ' s Liberty Memorial High school. That many of his former students are now enrolled in his college classes attests his popularity. Although most of his time is occupied with work in his field, he has genuine interest in sports, enjoys a game of tennis or golf now and then, is especially proud of his technicolor movies of his two small children. Says he is particularly im- pressed by the democratic student attitude and hopes to find some serious-minded folk here. i to- Hie THESE ADD NEW DLOOD TO THE FACULTY Henry Ladd Smith says he grew into journalism because several members of his family were associated with newspapers and encouraged his natural desires along that line. After three years at the University of Wisconsin, he comes to Kansas to teach Report jog. Feature Writing, and Law of the Press, H: .s worked on newspapers in Canton, Ohio; Taioma, Wash- ington; and Cleveland was Mexican corres- pondent for the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Would rather travel than do anything eiss; spent one summer working on a carle boat and another on a banana boat going to Cenrral and South America. His other travels include bicycling through Europe and Cuba. Tinkers with cameras in his spare time. Favorite book is Cyrano de Bergerac. Is working on a Ph. D. in history after receiving an A.li. from Yale and a M.A. from Wisconsin. Declares this campus is the friendliest he ' s seen. Another scholar emigrates from the Has to the Middle West and with a A.B., M.A., Ph. D., and full rank professorship from Princeton comes William H. Shoemaker to the University faculty as chairman of the romance languages department. First he planned to be an English teacher, but was offered a job teaching Spanish, went to Spain the summer before nis work began, and has become more foreign ever since that summer fifteen years ago, publishing a book and pamphlets on early Spanish drama. An ardent research fan, his interest in that field gives ground only to his love for tennis and bridge. No stodgy pedagog of the conventional type, his most prized possessions are two young sons and the enjoyment of basketball. Like many men of learning, he has a philo- sophical twist. So as a parting shot, he advises: What you like to do, do hard and don ' t worry about the rest. He became an electrical engineer as the result of experience, because he liked tinkering with electrical equipment, and because he wanted to know why rather than how things worked. Now he. Professor Victor P. Hessler, after re- ceiving a B.S. from Oregon State and a M.S. and Ph. D. from Iowa State, comes to K.U. to be new head of the electrical engineering department. Unusual is he in that he takes a busman ' s holiday by working during spare time . He experiments with electrical brushes, spends summers doing research work for manu- facturers of equipment. His three main interests in life are two daughters, the Teton Mountains, and research. His secret passion is that he might learn to think effectively. That he has suc- ceeded seems proved by his rise to prominence in the worlds of both teaching and original research. Write-up by Mary Jane Sigler Write-up by Louise Webster Write-up by Louise Webster 64 THE JAYHAWKER THE MAN BY NATURE is a social being. The call of the jitterbug, it gets you! Reaches everyone. This year ' s freshmen are turning out, and strongly, for the first flings of the new season. But there ' s no need of forgetting those others old timers; they ' ve been there, too, getting around, seeing that none of the freshmen go wrong. Official date was September 19. Louie Kuhn re- acquainted everybody with the Kansas stomp tempo, and blind dates were soon forgotten. Yes, she was there; he was there. The whirl was there literally, figuratively, virtually. Have you met , I don ' t believe I ' ve met were the by- words of every boy. And this year ' s class has plenty to provoke such phrasemaking. Mentionable are: Kappa ' s Jeanne Sunderland and Libby Metcalf; Chi Omega ' s Olive Joggerst; Pi Phi ' s Ruth Bowers; Gamma Phi ' s Patty Wadley; and Theta ' s Peggy Hennessy. These shine in a crop of eminent excel- lence. Some say improvement is shown over last year ' s; others say differently. September 21 came a Free Mixer dance Free- for-all, and decidedly free-for-all. Students of this University, in full force, turned out. The old ball- room couldn ' t take it, and the lingering but not lan- guishing summer heat did its damage. No relief came for the mid-week the following Wednesday, though it was the best of its kind for a year. Com- ment: climate terrible; smooth band performance, the tops. Came September 24 and with it the Chancel- lor ' s annual student-faculty reception and dance an event few should, and few did fail to attend. There loomed up opportunity, opportunity for acquainting the professors with ourselves and our talents; for striking up friendships that later might be of aid in academic and social life. The halls of ye old ball- room virtually groaned with the assemblage of humanity. One never knows, perhaps even students were some. Friday, last of the month, the Young Democrats entertained, enlisting aid for F.D.R. It was good (entertaining sense), with Clyde Smith dishing out the jive, so it has been reported. (Staunch Republican blood kept the correspondent away.) On the same night the girls of Alpha Chi Omega took their dates and the rest of the available Hill males to the Eld- ridge for their open house. Next night, famous night of October 1, some at- tended the all-school varsity, escorting their dates. Never before has a crowd so small enjoyed a Uni- versity dance so much. Conspicuous in their absence were the crescent girls of West Campus. Their open house drew enough men to make the varsity a dance p. NOVEMBER ,1938 65 rather than the characteristic brawl. Dancing was truely permissable, a feat unusual in these parts at the first of the year. Clyde Smith and his aggregation played a moving brand of music that moved the most passive. The very atmosphere was set to swing. Elements: superior music, ample supply of good girls, and a slow cut. Open houses are worthy institutions, filling a dis- tinct place in Hill social life, and long may they live. But the male species feel sororities are too small, or perhaps, the stag line too large the ratio being such that conditions do not foster dancing. However, in a few cases, the decorations are entertaining in them- selves and warrant attendance. Then not to be over- looked is the possibility of finding the proverbial diamond in the rough. So boys will continue to think they should flatter the girls ' vanity, and open houses are worthy institutions . . . long may they live. As previously mentioned the Alpha Chi ' s led off in the Eldridge ' s Crystal room. Those Hill denizens who didn ' t attend appreciated Louie Kuhn ' s fine style over the air waves, while the more social swung fair maidens forth and around through the heat waves. Next the Gamma Phi ' s opened their doors and made the varsity a success. Scored as definitely with. Chi Omega entertained on October 7 with Louie Kuhn again acting in the capacity of bandmaster. Formality went early, and once a Chi O., always a Chi O. Reports are favorable. Came October 8, came three more open houses. Alpha Omicron Pi, Sigma Kappa, and Kappa Alpha Theta made their early bids in the season ' s whirl. Clyde Smith and the Thetas filled the Union ballroom, and the stags were amused successfully, to the end that a Theta open house now means something in the minds of those who attended. Fraternity social activities blew off the lid when on Sepetmber 30 Kappa Sigma held forth at its West Hills abode with the fall party. Brother Clyde Smith furnished music and rhythm. Traditional Hill for- mality went into discard as the boys called for a sweater-skirt costume. No little favorable comment was heard from among those present. Of it they say, Its ' a good un. Beta Theta Pi followed with the annual party for its newly pledged, Friday, October 7. Another jive- classic with Clyde Smith at the helm it was. Of the new bunch, Joe Morton, Prexy Bob ' s younger brother, was smooth on his feet. Also noticeably worthy of commendation to the girls was Spud Bunn, another of the brother crop. Comments regarding the size and personnel of the crowd stamps this as among THE parties of the current groups. Complete reports are available only because the gentlemen of the Tennessee ( Continued on page 71) Parties and open houses come and go, but the Varsity is the backbone of Hill social life. This is the Oklahoma Varsity. 66 THE JAYHAWKER IT ' S UP TO THE CHEERLEADERS TO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PLACID A V A PEPPY TEAM By Betty Coulson SCHOOL SPIRIT determines in part the success of any athletic team. As the Jayhawker eleven trots onto the field, they cannot stop for a nose by nose count of the crowd. Their only assurance of loyal backing lies in the massed cheers from students who are risk- ing sore throats, hoarseness, and ten cent bets on hope of victory if not broken bones and sprains. The sound of the weird, almost primitive Rock Chalk chant is enough to thrill even the casual spectator. What it could do to a fighting husky, already keyed to a high physical and nervous pitch, it is difficult, if not impossible to say. Certainly, it is that such a yell must affect him, assure him, and inspire him. With this in mind, every year a committee of Campus big shots gets together and selects a group of agile, peppy fellows to whom they offer the cheerleader ' s publicity of title and drudgery of duty. This year such a committee was headed by M. S. C. ' s President Elaine Grimes, and composed of six others from the Hill ' s unofficial Who ' s Who. Included among these lum- inaries were one representative each from M.S.C., W.S.G.A., Sachem, Mortar Board, K Club, Ku Ku ' s, and Jay Janes. Although only ten were to be chosen, some thirty-three aspirants met October 4, in East Stadium, each hoping to hit that upper one- third bracket. Most of the candi- dates displayed evidence of former coaching. Whether the coaching was received in Podunk High or from a fraternity brother who was a cheerleader year before last, no- body knows or cares. The committee watched with poised pencil while all thirty-three went through a routine of chorus and solo cheerleading guaranteed to show up all good and bad points of their technique. They were judged according to vocal range, lung- power, poise, and PULL. A con- stant weeding out process was in progress until some sixty minutes (Continued on page 72 ) Hill big-wigs hastily totaled points and political pull and then chose the rah-rah boys. But they reckoned not with the eligibility committee. Photo by Bert Brandt. Write-up by Stewart Jones. ENGINEER, POLITICIAN, SACHEM, EXECUTIVE IF YOU CAN catch Jim Bounds long enough to ask him about the Memorial Union activities he directs, you ' ll get him to talk his interests center on the Union project. But there will be a dozen interruptions to your conversations because people are forever dropping in. Some seek favors or advice, some want to plan a Union function, but many are there just because they enjoy talking to Jim. Extrovertish, he likes to exchange ideas and witticisms even enjoys puns and practical jokes, that is, if they ' re good. As a tow-headed freshman from Paola he some- how got into politics took the stump for the Pro- gressive Student Government League. Soon became president of the Architectural Engineering Society, member of Forums Board, Men ' s Student Council, Scarab, Owl Society, Sachem, and finally assumed the presidency of the new Union Activities Board. Although working sixty hours a month and major- ing in architectural engineering, Jim always finds time to attend the lecture and concert courses hasn ' t missed a presentation since freshman days. Loves music used to play the trumpet, violin, and trom- bone.

This unhusked review of personalities and events is a moderation of actual circumstances because of a strict censorship and a regard for self- preservation. Consequently, studes and stooges, pro- ceed to drink, neck, and wisecrack, for tomorrow you may graduate then you can no longer anticipate seeing your cognomen in this slander column. The Ku-Ku initiation brought out one fact, at least. After years of uselessness and annoyance, the Phi Gam serenades have done some material good. The aim and ability of the Kappas at water tossing has improved to such a remarkable extent that at three leagues anything from a dicky bird to a muffin man can be ably doused by those clever girls. Maybe we can ' t count the score without our fingers, but it ' s plain to see that Pi Phi ' s Ruth Bowers, Kappa ' s Libby Metcalf, Gamma Phi ' s Suzanne Adair, and Theta ' s Wills twins are plenty with. B The Pink and Blue boys broke a tradition and asked men from other houses to attend their party could it be that the girls were complaining? Oh well, Beta isn ' t a fraternity, merely an attitude. Neverthe- less, credit is due for the display of brotherhood among collegians. What could Fancy Farley have been doing on that particular evening? Dick Newlin, pride of the Sigma Nu boys, went on a frolic not long since, and rather than count the gum under a nearby booth he simply made a phone call ($7.50 worth) to Houston, Texas, for a brief chat with the captain of his ship. He says, He ' s spoken for, and at that rate we are inclined to with him. Must be that Southern hospitality invad- ing the West Hills. Then there is the Gamma Phi freshman, Susy Lowderman, who wants to go on a steak fry ' cause at home we have so much fun on picnics she ' ll learn. Ask George Golay and Swede Johnson the price of a steak fry at Brown ' s Grove, my little chum. It ' s just like I says, Elmer, this awful immorality has got to stop. Anyway, the mamma ought to take her share of the responsibility and such. B No, Gossip, no matter how dead a bunch of boys the Sigma Chis may be, those are not caskets on the front porch of their house. However, if any of them get sufficiently pickled, they can be used as sarcophagi the boxes, not the boys. It would be practically impossible to make a sarcophagus of a Sigma Chi, unless it be in the nature of Blimp Darnell or Satchel Pants Nelson. Though the theme of this column is chiefly for purposes defamatory, we cannot deprive certain parties of their deserving merit. Thus we present the following orchids: to Jack Nessly and his cohorts on the excellent card display at the Washburn football game; to the Modern Choir for their delightful ren- NOVEMBER 1938 ditions at various University functions; and to Bill Bailey for keeping that active spirit which is definitely an indispensable ingredient at any university. B Stone walls do not a prison make, nor athlete ' s foot a Sig Alph, remarked the physician as he pre- scribed a healthy dose of carbolic acid to the invalid- footed Dan Hamilton. Legislatures, there ' s your man. Trap him and bash him. Keep Kansas Klean! ! ! While casting a gander at the aged structures that litter the Campus ( and awaiting the reintegration of the Dyche Museum), we happen to spy Steve Huston, long with Sigma Nu, and too long with K.U., soliciting at open houses in an effort to enhance his fleet. I thought they gave him back to the Indians in ' 31. B Another day, another gold star for such at- tractive and genuine combinations as : Doris Johnson Fen Durand, Julie Heimbrook Mort Jones, Roberta Cook Phil Nicholson, Aileen Herndon George Lindsay, Doddie Dean John Begert, Mau- rine Gray Wally Springer, Daisy Mae ' Lil Abner, Joy Morrison Phil Busick, Julie Henry Paul Masoner, Pat Eisenhower Chuck Godfrey, and Virginia Sheldon Granny Wilhelm. All are real deals. B For the third time in the last ten years the Lawrence census reveals the unaccepted truth that the A.T.O. fraternity has a chapter located at the Uni- versity of Kansas. Just about one more revelation like that and we ' re going to have to recognize that boarding house. However, we did stumble onto such a creature the other day, and in the course of several conversations with him we have mentioned most of the sororities on the Hill. Whenever one is men- tioned, the farm boy will say, The fellows from our house haven ' t been dating over there any this year. So we judge. The Hill is waiting eagerly for some A.T.O. to have a date, if he can get one. Dan Bones Hamilton, of Beta fame, while in a state of inebriety the other night, happened to hit his head on an obstinate slot machine. The next morning, when asked if he remembered the unhappy incident, Dan cleverly exclaimed, How many did I get? Which reminds of a similar occurrence in which Sigma Chi ' s John Tyler played the feature role, to wit: His visibility was a little cloudy but his enthusiasm was at high pitch the other night as he was hitting the cigarette machine out at Miller ' s with nary a pass. Tsk, tsk Such goings on at the Phi Psi house! Marion Coberly, the Hutchinson farmer, by morning gets his daily billet doux from the Colorado Tri Delt and by afternoon makes his daily journey to the Kappa house for Miriam Whitford. . . . His brothers are all hoping that Kenny Lewis will help make up Kirk Owen ' s mind amongst Kappa Jean Wedell and Alpha Chi ' s Mary Cosgrave and Sue Johnson. . . . Daily occurrence for freshmen is to answer the phone and hear, Is Beel theah? Well, tell ' im this is Mawrthah (Do yo all think ah ' ve uh Suthen accent?) Brown- ing. You know she ' s from way down South at Lees Summit. B Paul Yankey, owner of the Phi Gam Show Boat, contends that he can no longer drive in the country without the car automatically stopping at ap- propriate intervals along the side of the road. It seems that Jim Morris, alias Big Red, broke a prece- dent of one year ' s standing by being the first to pitch woo in the Fiji love-crate. And too, we hear that Porky Paul McCaskill, baldheaded Phi Gam prexy, became the outstanding threat for top honors in the Iron Balloon Club (for fellows who don ' t attract female affections) when he discovered that his un- secret passion Marie Forbes, Theta alumna, had an- nounced her engagement to another. B All forlorn lovers contact Julie Heimbrook, Gamma Phi beauty, so that she may keep them in line with their Crescent thrill-of-the-moment. It seems that Bill Doc Johnson, Sigma Chi, went to the plate with two strikes against him, so he desperately sought the help of Julie on the subject (who hap- pened to- be Jeanne Wilkins). For her services rendered, Julie demanded that he give her all the pennies outstanding in his business transactions for the duration of a week. Here is a situation in which it ' s the man who pays; can ' t say as we blame him. B Who is a bigger screwball than the editor, the heel? It ' s the indefatigable efforts of the STAFF (Ed. ' s note: what staff?), not the work of that bum, nor his lousy colleague, the business manager that makes for one helluva magazine such as this second rate bull sheet. 70 THE JAYHAWKER Subdued were the recalcitrant and boisterous spirits of pajama-clad frosh when cider and doughnuts were doled out. 0 1 P anod COAXED BY PADDLE-WIELDING K- MEN AND LURED BY FREE EATS, THE FROSH OBSERVE A TRADITION. By Jack Stone LINES come and lines go! Weary registration lines, enroll- ment lines, reception lines, stag lines, and now a pa jama line. Thus began the nightshirt parade guarded by Ku Kus and K-men and adorned by buxom Jay Janes. Late arrivals were politely ushered into line by big, burly K- men and their paddles. The band, having plenty of ginger and feeling snappy, jammed out on numerous popular pieces for the men of the Pajama Legion. Every once in a- while we would hear the whang of one of those vicious leather paddles contacting some unfortun- ate freshman, who had been feeling high and happy. Looking down the street one was amazed at the un- usual collection of pajamas, night- shirts, long underwear and robes. People ' s remarking about our garb made us feel as if we were exhibits mBallyhoo. The Jay Janes, those gorgeous creatures, chuckling at some of the depressed frosh, were standing off to one side; the Ku Kus and the K-men were hud- dled together looking a little awed by the numbers of the brawny frosh. The order was given to advance, with the Jay Janes leading, then the band, and last in their nocturnal garb, came the Joe Colleges them- selves; flanked by the Ku Kus and the K-men who carried paddles as their only means of superiority over the organized horde. The horde surged down Oread and In- diana, hesitating only long enough to truck awhile or toss some fire- crackers at the twinkling toes of the K-men. The efforts of the flankers to induce the pajama clad army to yell was finally given up as a hope- less task, although the shouts of Are we going to beat Oklahoma? and its reply, Hell, yes! continu- ally rang out. Racing along Louisiana at the dizzy speed of two miles an hour began to affect us freshmen and we cut loose with stored up erengy. At the corner of Seventh and In- diana a sit-down strike was ef- In the past the nightshirt parade has been reported by some experienced, blase upperclassman who, like as not, did not attend the parade. Result was a well written but often insincere article. This year we asked a freshman, several days after the parade, to write his experiences just as he remembered them, and as hundreds of other fresh- men will remember the occasion. Ed. ' s note. NOVEMBER 1938 71 fected by a few members of this unruly, colorful brigade. After a short shuffle we yielded to the K-men by the ap- plication of their paddles to sensitive pans of our anatomies. The ranks were reformed and started again. Lines four abreast, hundreds strong, made a picturesque sight, block upon block, wave upon wave of color. Again the question of supremacy arose; the wave of destruction decided to turn up Ten- nessee, but the small army of leeches combined all of their forces and turned back the leaders of this stampede, al- though some Ku Ku ' s for awhile feared for their existence. Massachusetts marked the beginning of our snake-dance. Back and forth, across and around, we went spilling spectators and ourselves; mutiny broke out in the ranks, small battles were waged here and there with neither side winning. About mid-way up Massa- chusetts the union once more inter- fered and a sit-down strike was in progress. The determined K-men this time were met with opposition from all quarters; they battled furiously and bravely but the tide of the battle favored the courageous frosh of Mount Oread. Finally the participants rushed on, attracted by the shouts of Food! food! food! Cider and doughnuts ar- rived at South Park, where a mammoth blazing bonfire, prepared by the fresh- men, was biting hungrily skyward. The coaching staff gave short pep talks along with numbers by the band and yells of enthusiasm from the student body. With the mighty Rock Chalk-Jay Hawk-K. U. the nightshirt parade of 1938 ended. An outgrowth of the annual town and gown night of yesteryear is the parade. Town and gown night was featured by the college men ' s declaring an open season on village toughs. Chancellor Frank Strong once sug- gested that instead of celebrating the first football game by attempting to beat up the town toughs, why not create a holiday spirit with a University parade. So a few nights later the Chan- cellor found his door besieged by hundreds of eager students wanting a victory-instilling parade for the game on the morrow. Not waiting to don his clothes, the sporting Strong slipped Index to Advertisers on his slippers and led the merry throng through the streets of Law- rence in his nightshirt.

Some of these are won by groups having the best team entered in the sport, but many others are won because that organization had the most mem- bers entered. Under the present system of scoring an organization is given points for each man entered in the event, whether he wins a place or match or not. Last year one organi- zation was among the leaders in points scored in swimming. Yet but two of their men even placed in the meet. It seems this organization had an efficient intramurals manager who routed out the boys the only qualification being they have the endurance to swim the event and entered them all. Since one point was given for each entry, that organization came close to winning first money. This illustrates a serious defect in the present scoring system. Points should be given to the winners of events, thus placing the smaller organizations on a more equal basis with the larger organizations. DALE Print Shop 1035 MASS.

The squad appeared to be in not so good physical shape for the undefeated Washburn team, but thier mental outlook for the game was favorable. The day of the Washburn game was again exceptionally summery, and perhaps that was largely the reason for the hot struggle that took place. Be- fore the game was over, two Jay- hawkers had been banished for rough play; and one Ichabod had been sent to the showers. A real blow to Kansas hopes for a successful season fell in the first half when sophomore Ed Hall, hard and clean playing fullback, suf- fered a fractured leg. Hall will be lost to the team for the remainder of the season.

The game was regrettable in a way because of the bad feeling on the field; but it was colorful and few spectators left the Stadium feeling they had not had their money ' s worth.

Right halfback is a toss-up between two fine backs, Replogle and Amerine. The injury to Hall means that Milt Meier will be in there a lot, and Meier has proven his value as a passer, blocker and tackier. Divens will see a lot of action after his shoulder mends, and Milt Sullivant, Kenny Caldwell, Cadwalader, Bukaty and Suagee should hold their own in Big Six competition, giving Kansas the best group of backs it has ever had. Warren and Anderson are headed for Big Six honors in the line, and John Burge and Steve Renko, sophomore ends, are slated to see plenty of atcion along with veterans Dave Shirk and Russell Chitwood. Bosilevac and Sih- lanek are the regular tackles but will get help from Massare, also a guard; Rhule and Lenhart. Other promising linemen are Curtice Jenkins, Warren ' s understudy at center; Ward Crowell, Charles Wenstrand, Mike Andrews, Jack Turner, and Monte Merkel, start- ing guard at the first part of the season, who has been handicapped by boils. The Big Six race looks tough from every angle this year, and Iowa State leads the honor roll at present by virtue of bumping off the perennial champion Nebraska Cornhuskers in the opening conference game at Lincoln, 8-7. Kansas State won their first game from Mis- souri 21-13; and Oklahoma held Texas to 1 1 yards from scrimmage in beating them 13-0. Oklahoma is next on the Kansas program, followed by Iowa State, Kansas State, Nebraska, George Washington (non-conference) and Missouri in that order. Anybody who attempted to prophesy the outcome of the Big Six this year would be in for a bad two hours. The Jayhawkers finished third in 1937, and have a more versatile, certainly a much stronger offensive team this year than last. However, their opponents have grown correspondingly stronger and Kansas may or may not improve their position. Anyway it ' s a cinch that the team ' s followers will be looking at a good team win or lose; and it ' s a team that can set off some fireworks of their own if given a chance. NOVEMBER 1938 75 Hill Politics as She is Spoke ( Continued from page 39 ) Well, one fine day, with the aid of Henry Ford, Walt Chrysler, and the Packard Corporation (car squads to the uninitiated), the panics stage an election, and one party or the other wins a majority on the Men ' s Student Council Then the losing party smiles bravely and it ' s all over till next year. And that, Junior, is why we happen to have a Student Council What ' s that? What does it do? After all, Junior, isn ' t it asking a good deal of a Student Council to expect it to do things? It ' s hard enough just to get elected. . . . Well, if you want to know how the Council func- tions that ' s a long complicated story. Almost a mystery story. Take this year for instance. What with the ins spouting and the outs pouting, it ' s pretty much like every other year. In general, though, great gobs of harmony can be seen floating around everywhere. Even the highly vocal P.S.G.L. minority is loath to in- ject much sound, fury, or vinegar. The procedure is fairly simple. Any ordinary group of garden party guests could catch on to the game in no time. First, Blaine Grimes he ' s the presi- dent, you know solemnly calls the meeting to order. Then they have the roll call, so that members desiring M. S.C keys can be listed as present.

The Jayhawker office is also on this floor. A large room ,on the north is yet unfinished but in time this will be one of the most favored rooms on the Campus. It in- cludes a beautiful concourse with views of the stadium and Kaw valley. The memorial Union building as it is designed at the present time, can have an addition built on the north making a structure twice as large as the present one. Thus, in the future the Union will probably have a complete recreation room, with a bowling alley; more and better student organization rooms; more reading rooms and a library; an rooms; guest rooms; and possibly a swimming pool. And again this year the Union will be the center of social life. It is here that students will attend the varsities, homecoming and commencement cele- brations, the football banquets. Here students organizations will have their headquarters, the soda fountain will offer tempting refreshments, and friends will meet in the lounge and recreation rooms. The cafeteria will feed hundreds of students and prepare meals for hungry athletes who eat at the newly installed training table. As the scope of Union services is widened more and more students will discover the living room to the Halls of Learning.

Anybody in line is equal to any- body else in the same or another line provided one of them isn ' t too much bigger than the other. ( And con- versely. ) 3. The registrar ' s office is equal to anything. This makes it an indetermin- ant. 4. Unequals added to unequals pro- duce equals, if the results are equal; also, unequals added to unequals pro- duce unequals, if the results are un- equal. 5. Equals are equal to nothing in particular. PROPOSITIONS 1. A line is never straight. PROOF: A line is composed of people, standing around and waiting in it. ( Def. of a line. ) People do not stand around in a straight line. (Def. of people.) THEREFORE, a line is never straight. 2. A line may be extended indefi- nitely in either direction, until all the people are used up. PROOF: Let Z be the end of the line, and let a, b, and c be other people not in line. When a, b, and c see the line, they will automatically get in line. (Force of habit.) Then e, f, g, will come along, and they will also auto- matically get in line and so on; thus proving a line may be extended back- wards indefinitely. To prove that a line may be extended indefinitely forward, let U be any one in line.

In the tail of every line there are some wags. PROOF: Let us assume that U are in the front of the line. (We can as- sume anything. ) Then U are either in the right or wrong line. (U have committed either a faux pas or a coup d ' etat.) If U are in the right line, some one in the back of the line will yell, Some- thing ' s wrong, he ' s in the wrong line! (Common knowledge.) If U are in the wrong line, some one in the back of the line will yell: Some- The Quality Of Our Work Must Meet With Your Approval PHONE 432 INDEPENDENT LAUNDRY CO. 740 VERMONT ST. thing ' s wrong, he ' s in the right line! (Common knowledge.) In either case, the proposition is proven. 4. The intersection of two lines forms a circle. Let one line be a right line and the other be a wrong line. (Well, we might as well hope one of them is a right line.) Let U get in line. U will get in line at the end of the right line. (Note: This is the only time U will ever get in the right line the first time.) U will come to the intersection and you will commit a faux pas. (It is im- possible to refrain from committing a faux pas at the intersection of any- thing.) U will end up at the beginning of the wrong line. (A wrong line moves forward. ) U have no busines being there. ( Def . of a wrong line, and besides U were supposed to have a permit from the registrar ' s office.) U will go to the end of the right line. (After U have committed a faux pas, it is probable that U will attempt to commit a coup d ' etat. ) But U have already been at the end of the right line, therefore U are where Phone 4 Service FRITZ CO, U were, i.e., have ended up where U started. (Too true, alas, too true.) THEREFORE, the intersection of two lines forms a circle. The student may go on to prove that the circle is vicious. PROBLEMS Prove: 1. That a plane is usually over the intersection of four lines. (Hint: Go to a football game.) 2. That a non-existent line is a con- tradiction. 3. That after committing three faux pases, one is a wreck like the inter- section of two planes, but is not capable of producing anything, much less news- paper headlines. 4. That the right line is always longer than the wrong line. 5. That the wrong line is always longer than the right line. 6. That a football line is half right, except the Kansas line, which far from being half right is non-existent. - We Introduce .... ( Continued from page 46 ) takes most of the breaks on the tenor sax.

Kuhn has several new men in his band this year, an organization of which the University is justifiably proud. Kuhn ' s band was runner-up in a recent Battle of Bands contest held at the Municipal Audi- torium in Kansas City in connection with the Jubilesta. Matt Betton and his band from Kansas State won the contest, in which bands from several of the Big Six schools were entered.

For a long, long time the topic was the appointment of a dance manager. The Panchacamac jitter-bugs couldn ' t decide on a man, nor, ap- parently, on a plan of strategy, what with suddenly deciding to withdraw from Council meeting and all. The qusetion was, when Wood they elect? Be it noted, at any rate, that they finally did. Again, maybe the topic is finances. Last spring, for instance, the Pacha- camac party generously promised some Student Council money to both the Engineering Exposition and the I.S.A. So far, the Independent Students have been forgotten, but the numerous and powerful engineers are likely to receive twice as much as ever before. Maybe the subject is housing. It is unquestionably the topic of the hour. Not the housing regulation of the spring platform, but a magnificent new concept of a men ' s dormitory source of funds unknown. The point being that the M.S.C. mig ht as well have something to investigate. And who knows what might happen? President Grimes is particularly interested in housing no fooling. You know, Junior, you ought to visit a Council meeting some day. It ' s really very impressive that is, if you don ' t listen to what they ' re talking about. Everybody calls everybody else mister. To neglect that, under Pine Room Parliamentary Laws, would be unforgiveable much less forgivable than neglecting the M.S.C. Constitution, for instance. It ' s customary for Jim Haughey to drag out that august docu- ment at intervals and show how certain Council actions are unconstitutional. But the Former Standard Bearer is al- ways voted down. Oh, yes, while I ' m telling you about strange customs, Junior, I ought to mention the famous Legend of the Pine Room. It may explain a lot of things. The story is that a tall, ghostly figure can often be seen standing behind the Chair, placing a restraining hand on the president ' s shoulder. Sometimes there ' s just the clammy hand. I don ' t know what to make of the story myself. Up to now, all my encounters with the Ad- ministration have been strictly in the flesh. Quality Merchandise OLDHAM WHOLESALE GROCERY CO. 413 Grand K.

Such would improve many fold the living conditions and social life of those many who cannot afford or do not desire to join a fraternity. Girls have their Cor- bin.

Another weakness is the lack of a central meeting place for the rushees, who naturally want to talk over the fraternities with their friends. As it is, they seldom see their friends till rush week is over. Then again, rush week is THE JAYHAWKER far too short. The rushees have to make hasty decisions, or be left out. These decisions prove less wise in the future. Under pressure, and in the time alloted the rushee finds it hard to choose unemotionally. A further bad point is having pledging at any time during rush week. The boy who pledges the first day, may never see the other houses. Much of the dirty work and the grief is caused by these systems. They cannot be blamed on any one person, or any organization. The results of this system are that the school loses prospective students, especially girls who go else- where rather than face the rigors of a K.U. rush week, and that nobody is really satisfied with it. - What?

The last time I had anything to say was about the week before the Nightshirt Parade, so I ' ll begin there. Oct. 14 As I said, the Nightshirt Parade. Heaven only knows where the boys get those loud pajamas. One thing is sure enough; they don ' t sleep in them. Coeds in evening dress would probably be a little more inter- esting for a change. Oct. 15 Kansas seems to have the knack of getting beaten by the best teams. First it was Notre Dame, now Oklahoma. The score, 19-0, and I did enjoy the game without a program. Oct. 20 Politicians in this state got their wires crossed. Completely ignor- ing our Red proclivities, they have accused us of being Republicans. I haven ' t felt so insulted since Joshua made the sun stand still and I lost four hours and twenty-six minutes that I haven ' t gained back yet. Oct. 21 Well, Eleanor hit the Hill today and I ' m all tired out. Trotting around after her is an awful job. She goes so fast that even her stockings run to keep up. Oct. 25 The Daily Kansan in an editorial adversely criticizes the work of Ad Lindsey with the football team. It reminded me of a thought of friend Addison ' s. It is ridiculous for any man to criticize the works of another if he has not distinguished himself by his own performances. Oct. 26 At last the weather is cool enough that the lawyers don ' t sit out on their front steps and heckle. This removes the necessity for girls ' crossing the street to avoid the snickering shy- sters. Oct. 30 The Jayhawk breather was just a puff too hard for the cow col- legians up at the bend of the river. Riding on a 27-7 Kansas Gale, the Oread Mountaineers mowed ' em down and plowed ' em under.

P. S. The Owl ' s not clean now, Diary, but it ' s still not funny. Nov. 3 Dr. R. M. Hutchins says Kansas is almost in a class with his school, Chicago U., i.e., our football team is almost as bad. I never did know why Rolla Nuckles reminded me of a goat till I saw him in Liliom with a beard. The play was good. Nov. 4 Hobo Day brought out some of the worst dressed tramps seen in these parts. They looked almost like professors. Rumor has it that some prof on the Hill has two suits. Maybe he ' s bootlegging on the side. Nov. 5 Kansas lost the services of one of the finest backs it has ever seen, Max Replogle. His jaw was broken in a game fight to hold back the Nebraska Huskers. The score, 16-7 with the boys from Corn Normal on top. Nov. 10 Politics is almost dead here. Pachacamac won a freshman election that was as clean as soapsuds in cellophane. It ' s nice to have elections clean, The campaign quiet with all serene, But gad, it ' s an awful bore! Nov. 11 The band journeyed to Washington and took part in the Armistice Day parading there. I ' ll live to see the day we ' ll be able to convince those Easterners that there ' s something in Kansas besides prairies, dust storms, and prohibitionists. No, I ' m not optimistic; I ' m just Father Time. Nov. 12 Kansas lost Amerine, an- other sterling back when they failed to hold the Washington Bureaucrats and lost, 9-7. Nov. 14 Blossom Time played to a full audience in Hoch Auditorium. It is said that the only two in the house who did not like it are from Maine or Vermont and simply dis- agreed from force of habit. Nov. 15 Several faculty members have complained in their classes that holidays are too frequent. Discon- tinue classes, they say. We haven ' t time to teach anyone anything any- how. (Sarcasm.) Not one of the complainers ' daily utterances are so important that missing one would seriously hamper a student for life. Nov. 17 Eight students, two of them girls, were named to Phi Beta Kappa today. Maybe one of these keys is a help in later life, but she ' d get married faster if she had a Kappa key instead. Nov. 18 Diary, you have never seen anyone swing out like I did at the Freshman Frolic. I guess I ' m in my 342,560th childhood. Be that as it may, I sure am a rug cutter, and the dance wasn ' t half bad. Nov. 21 Shades of D ' Artagnan, et al. The boys and gals fought it out with swords in the Fencing Club ' s second tournament of the year. When we enter the bridge tournament Wed- nesday, I and my partner are going to carry those epees. A prod in your part- ner ' s ribs with a sword is even better than a kick on the shin with field boots. Nov. 24 Thanksgiving Day and Kansas ended the football season with a spanking from Missouri, 13 to 7. That roast turkey dinner I bought down in Columbia must have been left over from the first Thanksgiving. It tasted like sole leather and was tougher than a physics quiz.

Not the kind typified by a gory wreck, but that con- tained in an individual ' s heart, either consciously or not. And we don ' t refer to the sorrows of jilted lovers. This tragedy is that a student should attend the University two, three, or four years and go away wholly unprepared for life, perhaps even with bit- terness towards something that should be looked upon as a glorious experience. In a nutshell, the fact is that college should pre- pare one for life. In many cases it fails, and when such is the case, tragedy results. First of all, there is the student who leaves the Campus unprepared to earn a living, either because he knows no trade or profession, or because he lacks a trained mind. Results of such failures are self- evident. Less apparent, but none the less unfortunate, are the cases of men and women who go out into the world with warped attitudes. There ' s the girl who goes through college without ever having a date. Such is almost unbelievable, yet often true. Likely she goes into the life of an old maid school teacher with an embittered attitude toward men. The lot of her hapless children is not a pleasant one. Or perhaps she falls easy victim for the first man to come along and finds herself ill- matched for life. Equally unfortunate is the case of the boy who goes through school with no social life, either from lack of funds or opportunity. In him will likely be an envy turning to hate of those who do have the facilities for enjoying life. Of such stuff are class wars made.

And with the Jayhawker will come more pictures. See yourself and your friends, if not in some group, in some party picture. The social wheel really begins to whirl and the Jayhawker will cover it. There will be pictures of the professional fraternities, just pictures, basket- ball, a Dick MacCann review, and many other features. Don ' t miss it. DECEMBER 1938 95 ANY DISSERTATION c o n - cerning the so-called fairer sex, promulgated by mere man, rings the first peal of his death knell . . . amatorially speaking, at least. As one of these mere men, I hardly propose to sit back, wreathed in a feeling of ubiquitousness and omniscience, and ex- pound the long awaited truth about woman the un- knowable, unpredict- able, unfathomable, enigmatic h a u n t of every man, be he a celibate or be he con- nubially ensnared. Any man who feels that he is cognizant of each and every in- herent quality found in a woman is as puerile in thought as woman herself. It must be admit- ted that there are divers gradations of womanhood, both on this Campus and on other campi.

THEY HAVE THE OPPOR- TUNITY TO DO THINGS By Jane Montgomery THERE ARE PEOPLE on the Hill who don ' t believe that the women do their share in keeping things going; there are students on the Campus who don ' t realize the importance, as well as the potenti- alities, of the Women ' s Self Governing Association; and there are many women in the Uni- versity who themselves don ' t understand the function of the W.S.G.A. and the opportunities which have been given them through its efforts. Every woman enrolling in the University automatically becomes a member of the organization, the purpose of which is to bring to- gether this diversified group into a cooperative body with a mutual feeling of responsibility to the University in maintaining stan- dards and scholarship, and in aid- ing in those activities with which women are concerned. The organi- zation can only be what the stu- dents make it. The leaders want assistance and suggestions. If only the women students would come to the council with their problems and difficulties, in this way could the W.S.G.A. be strengthened and efficiency increased. Individually or jointly, the W.S. G.A. sponsors many of the most important and best known activi- ties on the Hill. Perhaps their PRESIDENT GEVENE LANDRITH most widely used and beneficial enterprise is the book exchange in the basement of the Union Build- ing. As it is not a profit-making concern, it can give the students good trades for old books and low prices for second hand books. In the endeavor to fulfill its aim of bringing the women students in closer contact and to afford an op- portunity for those who really have a desire to meet girls in different groups (not to mention the at- traction that food has for many a class worn female by 3:30 in the afternoon), the W.S.G.A. has established the Wednesday teas in the new Old English room in the Union. One argument in behalf of these teas lies in the fact that they do give one a chance to enlarge speaking acquaintances if one is ambitious. Another function for which the W.S.G.A. is responsible is the Skirt Swing Sessions that have been held from time to time in the Union ballroom. There are some good dancers among the feminine DECEMBER 1938 101 populace of the University who get a chance to show their stuff at these. Every year six scholarships are given women possessing high scholastic standing and who need financial assistance. During the winter, the W.S.G.A. holds a Car- nival which serves to raise funds for these scholarships as well as to give various groups and sororities a chance to try to out-rival each other in ingenuity. In conjunction with the Y.W. C.A., the women ' s governing body is responsible for a number of din- ners and banquets for all women students during the year, and several other types of activities in which women participate. Every freshman girl who comes to the University, through the ef- forts of the W.S.G.A., is given a counselor whose task it is to help her get acquainted with the school and orient her into Campus life. Among the other projects in which the organization assists is in the VICE-PRESIDENT MARY LOU BORDERS SECRETARY ROBERTA COOK TREASURER VELMA WILSON assembling of the Student Di- rectory and the K-Book, in the planning of special programs such as the Christian Mission and Vo- cational Guidance Week. One of its big problems today is in its dealings with the housing program for independent women. The W. S.G.A. serves with the Indepen- dent Student ' s Association, the Stu- dent ' s Statewide Activities Com- mittee, the committee for Home- coming and Hobo Day, and the Forums Board. Since the organization is re- sponsible for the house rules on the Hill, they are proposing this year a new privilege for women. With the consent of the Dean of Women and the housemother, a girl who meets the necessary physi- cal and scholastic requirements and who desires to go to some special concert in the City on a week night may have permission for a two- thirty night twice a semester. This year the Intercollegiate Association of Women Students, the national group corresponding to the W.S.G.A., is to hold its convention at the University April (Continued on page 156) Third Row: Vetter, Ross, B.

Lawrence On the fifteenth day of October in 1885 seven young women of DePauw University, Greencastle, Indiana, crystal- lized their preliminary plans for a sorority. 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.

Tiring of Adelphean Society as a name, members in 1915 voted to adopt the present one, Alpha Delta Pi. Fifty-five active and two recently pledged chapters represent the sorority. Tau, the local chapter, made its ap- pearance at the University of Kansas May 15, 1912. Pride is taken in the fact that it was founded the same date as the national organization.

TO DATE it ' s hard to deter- mine who ' s leading in women ' s intramurals. Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Alpha Delta Pi, and Corbin hall are running a close race. Volleyball, top-notch major sport of the fall season, was won by the I.W.W. ' s, who defeated Pi Beta Phi, 31-27, in a thrilling game. From participating teams, the more outstanding players were chosen for class teams. The junior class showed their power and came through to defeat the seniors by a small margin. The honorary varsity team was chosen from the best players in the class teams. Those to be given this honor were: Mar- garet Van Cleve, Virginia Ander- son, D. J. Willcuts, Irene McAdoo, Denny Lemoine, Lois Wisler, Jerry Ulm, Viginia Bell, and Frieda Cowles. Honorable men- tion went to Alice Paden, Lenora Grizzell, and Jane and Ellen Irwin. Tennis attracted a large number of entries. Semi-final matches were played between D. J. Willcuts and Jane Irwin, and Lois Wisler and Doris Stockwell, with Willcuts and Wisler emerging victors. The championship is yet to be decided. Alpha Delta Pi ably demon- strated that horseshoes can be pitched by the women, too. They defeated Pi Beta Phi in the finals. Alta Armstrong, June Johnson, and Marian Milhoan comprised the winning team. In handball Lois Wisler and Virginia Anderson will battle it out in the finals. Hockey is not an intramural sport but is fast gaining recog- nition as a major game in the ath- letic department. This is the first year that the state hockey play day was held at the University. Miss Constance Appleby, who brought hockey to the United States in 1901, was guest of honor for the day. She has been sent through the country by the U. S. Field Hockey Association to arouse interest and develop technique for the game. Teams represented at the play day were Wichita University, Friends College, Wichita, Kansas State Teachers, Hays, Kansas City Club, Wichita Club, and Baker Uni- versity. A varsity hockey team was chosen this year, the members of which are: Bunny Jenkins, Lois Wisler, Irene McAdoo, Virginia Anderson, D. J. Willcuts, Julia Henry, Mary Learnard, Jerry Ulm, Alice Paden, Margaret Van Cleve, and Marjorie Rowlands. Honor- able mention went to Virginia Bell, Alma Bigelow, and Betty Sherratt. Judging from the ability and interest shown in intramurals, out- standing competitors thus far are: D. J. Willcuts, Jane Irwin, Vir- ginia Anderson, Margaret Van Cleve, Helen Geis, Denny Le- moine, Virginia Bell, and Jerry Ulm. PI PHI ' S, KAPPA ' S, A.D.

BUT REALLY ISN ' T SO BAII THE STRANGE combination of stinging realism and vague fantasy that is Molnar ' s Liliom has been a subject of no little comment and controversy. University of Kansas playgoers were not the first to be surprised perhaps even irked by it. Budapest saw the premiere of Liliom in 1909- And Budapest did not react favorably. Even those who were familiar with Molnar ' s penchant for fan- tasy were puzzled. Hungary ' s favorite author saw his most ambitious effort removed from the scene after thirty or forty performances. Further thumbing of the history book, however, reveals that the drama was revived some ten years later after the World War and achieved over- whelming success. In New York, the Theater Guild presented it to months of packed houses. It is now agreed to be Molnar ' s finest play and one of the most important examples of modern drama. Jayne Coats ' none too aesthetic prancing forecast a comedy. But Liliom was anything but comic. DECEMBER 1938 119 Many were the laughs when blushing bride and groom Betty Smith and Earl Porter had their tin type made by Photographer Bob Rohde. It may be seen from this little excursion into history that what- ever the rigidity of decision when fifty million Frenchmen put their heads together, at least the Hun- garians are capable of changing their minds. Perhaps there is after all some hope for the many Jay- hawkers that came away from Fraser Theater on October 31 last with wagging heads and wrinkled brows. Now Liliom is not an easy play to understand. With all its simple, open realism, it is one of those dramas with unplumbed depths. Its very ending leaves the audience in doubt. It is not con- clusive. Molnar is quite unper- turbed about any need for making a propagandist point. But it is certainly a worthy play worth writing, worth acting, and worth watching in thoughtful mood. For Molnar has produced a keen and honest picture: a picture of Liliom how he lives, how he talks, how he dies, even how he acts in heaven. And when a dramatist draws such a picture successfully he has done a memorable piece of work. The play is a simple story of a swaggering circus-barker who is at- tracted to one of the many young girls who flock around him.

Life went on as usual at the State U. and few seemed to remember that it really was the day for voting. The P.S.G.L.

Wednesday night, December 7, will be one long remembered. Early that evening the athletic board closeted itself in the Chancellor ' s office with repre- sentatives of the Board of Regents. Object: to thrash out the football coaching situation. Interested groups all over the Hill stayed up late to get the results. And when, after five hours ' sessioning, the board an- nounced the selection of Gwinn Henry, the celebrat- ing began. But around our house there was a wee bit of mourning mixed with the shouting, not so much for the departing Lindsey, but because of his departure. Lindsey ' s leaving deprives the house heckler of a goat. For years the h. h. has kept everybody chuckling by the humorous ferocity of his attacks on the coaching regime. Now that that regime is gone, we thought, we would be deprived of those delightful bits of comedy. However, such was not to be. We held a till the wee hours bull session in which the final rites and proper obsequies were held for Ad ' s departure. And then the star of the evening announced that he would open the next night featuring an entirely new cast this time one of the more notorious profs in the School of Business. With any kind of luck at all, this new goat should be off the Hill in two years. wrong elatttt This year ' s crop of freshmen appear to be treading the straight and narrow very well. Resultingly, there have been few boner stories concerning them. But there ' s the one about the Phi Psi pledge who earlier in the fall walked into class, took a test. After class, finally sensing something wrong, he went up and asked the teacher about it. The worthy pedagog then informed the lad that he belonged in the next hour class. all but one One of the better boys in one of the Tennessee Street hash houses was haranguing his more worldly fellows the other night. Although only a freshman, he had strength of conviction. Taxing them for their lack of Puritanical morality, he blurted, There ' re five pool halls in the town where I come from, and I ' ve never been in one of them! Which one? was the cynical comment of one of the quicker big boys as he soundly thwacked the out- stretched neck of the freshman. stags: too few? too many? Sorority dances are fine for the girls. And after all, we suppose that ' s as it should be for they are throwing the party. But from the masculine view- point, they just don ' t have it. Because of the bumper crop of stag bids, the males are so populous that even the possessor of the cherished date bid gets to dance only the first and last numbers with the object of his affections. And if she happens not to be the real object of his aforesaid affections, the outlay for a corsage makes the date bid not so cherished. No doubt it is exceptionally soothing to the girls ' collective vanity to be cut every fifteen seconds. Once we observed that a certain queen was cut eight times in less than a minute and a half. But it ' s hell for the boys, as it ' s a terrible nuisance to climb into a tux for such a short whirl. We suggest that the girls cut their stag list in half on future occasions. We are quite willing to take our precarious chance of being in the eliminated fifty per cent in order that the survivors might enjoy a sorority party for once. But it ' s only a suggestion, we fear, and one fraught with complications. When it comes right down to the final analysis, the situation is that boys usually like to get bids. Any cutting down on bids would result in many fellows getting more than a little miffed. That ' s masculine vanity. So it ' s not likely that the suggestion will ever be anything but a suggestion.

Paul QUARTERBACK, TRACKSTER, SACHEM, REGULAR FELLOW QUARTERBACK PAUL MASONER knows foot- ball from the ground up literally. Has served three years as a Varsity blocking back and knows what it is to have his nose furrow the ground solely for the glory of the ball carrier. Knows the game because he has played every position on the field save guard and tackle. Carried the mail as half back part time for Kansas City ' s Northeast High, but on the city championship team his senior year, was at end. For K. U. Paul has played center and all backfield spots has even filtered into the enemy backfield to do a good bit of stumble-bumbling opponents ' plays. In high school captained a city champion track team and played with the state basketball champions. Will hurdle his third year in ' 39 for the University tracksters. Unstrangely enough he is majoring in physical edu- cation. Belongs to Sasnak and K Club and grades haven ' t suffered because Sachem claims him too. Wants to be a football coach but modestly fears, I ' ll probably end up training the junior high Midgets in Ham Gravy Hollow. During the past two sum- mers has steeled his six-feet-one, 187-pound frame- work by rehabilitating Kansas roads for the High- way Department; next summer hopes to be counselor at a boys ' camp. To believe his teammates, Paul is a great guy. To believe his Phi Psi brothers, Paul ' s hit-and-miss Notre Dame system at bridge is baffling to op- ponents and partner alike. 128 THE JAYHAWKER 0 W.C.T.IVER IS SHE.

In the seventies, Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes spent a few hours in town and so awed the citizenry that they talked of little else for months. Eleanor Roose- velt repeated the trick some sixty years later. The comparison does not end there. Like the wife of the present White House occupant, Mrs. Hayes bore the brunt of much newspaper criticism, and of jokes that circulated through the country.

These good ladies paid for a painting of Lucy which still hangs today in the White House for the edification of the mistresses of that manor.

This interest has been centered mainly on the touch football games. Champions this year are the crimson and green Phi Kappa Psi team, who defeated the Delta Tau Delta ' s, 7 to 0, in the playoff finals. A third quarter pass from Bob Allen, Psi quarterback, to George Golay, right end, tallied for the champions. This outfit was a fast, hard-blocking, clever, and steady group all season. Under the leader- ship of Bob Allen and with the advantage of both tackles and ends being over 6 feet, 2 inches tall, the Psi ' s had little trouble in de- feating the Delts who failed to complete a pass or gain an inch all day. The Phi Psi ' s, runner-ups last year, finished the season of ten games with only one loss. They lost a 19 to 15 battle to the Kappa Sig ' s for the championship of Di- vision I, making the Sig ' s cham- pions of that division. In Division II, the Delta Tau ' s went through the season unde- feated, although tied, therefore were crowned the winners of that division. The third group, consist- ing of Independent teams, was won by Theta Tau, who had a fine, well- balanced team, but no individual stars. This year is the first that the Jay- hawker has picked its own Ail- Star team, and we must say now that this group was selected on the basis of individual ability and not merely to pass honors among the teams. We dare say that three times of five this all-star team would defeat any other selected group. It has big, fast-charging linemen, who are strong, both de- fensively and offensively. The backs are speedy, versatile, and clever. However, there is little to choose between some of the first and second team men, and we are definitely sticking out our neck.

In its place has risen one of the cleverest and most entertaining week-ends ever seen on the Campus. And now, students and faculty, have been responsible for it. Through your interest and your spirit, Kansas University can boast of a Homecoming cele- bration equaled by none.

Photos by Bert Brandt and Duke D ' Ambra Almost as good as the Saturday game was the one Friday that the girls played. Ferrel Anderson was crying when he came off the field after the Nebraska defeat. And the difference between the Scoreboard when this shot was taken and 12 minutes later is the reason. The hoboes danced and pranced and that evening all went downtown for the big rally that went out over VRF.N. ing of November 4 was the Campus for Hobo Day. Whether because a Nebraska defeat loomed up pos- sible for the first time in many years, whether fewer professors assigned quizzes for that afternoon, or whether the Hobo Day program packed such an extra wallop this year; nevertheless, more tramps entered the festivities than could be shaved by one barber in a week. At nine-thirty, a little later to be exact, boy and girl vagabonds of Kansas gathered at Hoch Audi- torium to yell and be yelled at. Betty Blue and Bill Bandy were chosen Queen and King of the Hoboes, respectively, and reigned throughout the remainder of the day and evening. Missing was the sight of live stock which heretofore has taken such a featured spot on the pro- gram. One used to see, dotted throughout the crowd, tattered in- dividuals clutching to their chests, Best hobo honors went to the B ' s. Bill Bandy and Betty Blue were king and queen of the hoboes for one day ducks of all sizes and colors, ducks terrorized into loud quackings by the prodding hands of the mob. Missing, too, were the ribbon-tailed mice of the sororities, squeaky candidates for victory in the mouse race. These performances, the duck race and the mouse race, narrowed to participation of fraternities and sororities only, this year gave way to a tug-of-war, with the sopho- mores and juniors against the freshmen and seniors, and a femi- nine football fracas. After the rally, hoboes streamed down the Hill to Potter ' s Lake for the tug-of-war; but, finding it too muddy, they held the fray on the football practice field. Before the contest could be decided the rope broke, but opinion seems to grant the edge to the freshmen and seniors. All the while that these events took place, twenty-two frightened females fretted about how to play football. Coaches Paul Yankey and Al Lemoine worked fast and furiously to teach the Nebraska girl team five plays in half an hour. To say that they succeeded would be slightly off color, but they tried. The Kansas team, captained by Julie Henry, spent their last mo- ments in making beauty prepa- rations for the game. They were ready, as far as the game itself, was concerned. And they proved it, too, down in the cold mud of the varsity practice field. Amazons dressed in shoulder pads, jerseys, helmets, shorts, and slacks, tickled the crowd with their clumsy antics. Some of those gals, however, could really play football. Margaret Van Cleave heaved several passes suf- ficiently good to insure a berth on Ad ' s fighting Jayhawk team. One of the linemen on the Kansas red jersied team wrapped slender arms around an opponent ' s leg and held on for dear life. At the half time, water boys ran out equipped with buckets of powder and combs to refresh the players who were pre- cariously near swooning from shining noses and tangled hair. A huge success was the whole game, partially because the Kansas team defeated the Nebraska team, and partially because of the novelty.

Homecoming means fun and Homecoming means work. Members of organized houses spent no little time laboring like the Sig THE JAYHAWKER old Doc Yak and his medicine show. Some considered this last a boon rather than a defect of the morning. Sad it is that girls can- not always dance in slacks and low-heeled shoes. They keep their balance so much better. The music of Clyde Smith and his band filled the ballroom with rhythm, music, and noise enough to set every soul present in motion. Some time it was! Everyone talked so rapidly and danced so frantically that the whole room resembled the sound of a great gasp for breath. A pause occurred when String, mighty cus- todian of the dressing-rooms below the stadium, voiced his prediction of Kansas victory on the morrow. Betty Gene Sayles took part in judging the longest-bearded hobo to be Ed Hall, who was then intro- duced over the mike to the jam of half-holiday celebrants. Hunger and necessity of attend- ing one-thirty classes drew the rag- ged and weary students back to their houses. A classroom quiet spread over the Campus like a warm, soft blanket from then until late afternoon. Meanwhile, mem- bers of organized houses worked busily on floats for the parade and house decorations. Grads wandered from place to place, seeking friends and acquaintances. At three o ' clock registration of alumni at the Me- morial Union began and extended on through Saturday. At five-thirty, Jude Anderson, Lawrence chief- of -police, closed Massachusetts Street to all traffic in pre- paration for the Homecoming Parade. DECEMBER 1938 srwio npn Ifei ile. Boded M :( In cold darkness of early eve- ning, floats began to assemble at South Park. Gradually sidewalks along the parade course became filled with eager spectators await- ing the music, lights, and cleverly designed floats. At seven-thirty, Massachusetts bloomed into color, brightened by great overhead spot- lights and hundreds of colored torches held by marching students. The plea for parade participants was answered more than amply, thus insuring the continuance of the tradition for future years. The float contest was won by the Theta Tau ' s and their slot machine. The Phi Psi ' s came through with their entire fall party piled into the parade on horse-drawn wagons. The procession moved slowly; the music of bugle and drum, the red torches, the odor of burning sulfur from the torches, and the gay chat- tering of the crowds blended into one solid thrill of exultation that went up and down the spine of every person there. The parade ended in a splendid rally in front of the WREN Build- ing. Several members of the ever- victorious football squad of 1908 were present. Swede Carlson, captain of them, spoke briefly. The squad of ' 08 certainly developed into a group of successful business men, judging from their appear- ance, which raises the question of what percentage of the present Kansas team will be successes thirty years from now. Queen Denny Lemoine and her two attendants, Helen Johnson and Elizabeth Kemp, spoke a few words upon the hoped-for outcome of the game; but unfortunately, the gods, and not goddesses, control such affairs. An element of suspense sur- rounded one of the highlights of the Homecoming program, the an- nouncement of prize-winners in the house decorations. Awards were announced during the football game Saturday. First prize in the sorority division went to the Blondie, Dagwood, and Daisy sketch of Kappa Alpha Theta. In the fraternity division, Pi Kappa Alpha won first with a wheel of fortune as tall as their house. 133 Forty-one houses competed in this contest, so it was no snap to win. A free mixer attracted many once again to the Union Building. With festive minds and optimistic hearts, they danced and danced and danced. Despite Nebraska ' s victory Saturday afternoon, there occurred another varsity, wherein they danced and danced, and danced again. The pace was a little too fast for most of the grads; so, un- obtrusively, they poured out of Lawrence again, to wait for an- other occasion. Top honors for fraternity and sorority house decorations went to Pi K. A. and Theta for their unusual ideas.

Write-up by Patricia Lock THE ADVISER OF WOMEN ZliyaJtetlt MISS ELIZABETH MEGUIAR, Adviser of Women, performs with charm and discretion a mul- titude of duties, both advisory and social. As coun- selor of women, her chief desire is to treat each in- dividual with impartiality, not as a case, but as a person. Disciplinary factors are, in this manner, re- duced to a vanishing minimum. Aided by her assistant, Miss Marie Miller, Miss Meguiar supervises living conditions of women stu- dents, maintains an employment bureau for women on the Hill, compiles the University social calendar, and directs the authorization of Hill parties. Mem- bership on numerous committees consumes a large part of her time. Aside from her official duties as Adviser of Women, she is also an active member of the staff of the Department of Home Economics. A native of Louisville, Kentucky, Miss Meguiar took her preparatory work at the Science Hill School for Girls in Shelbyville, Kentucky. She majored in home economics at the University of Chicago and taught in Pennsylvania State College, Chicago Uni- versity, and Texas University before coming to K. U. in 1918. She was appointed in 1935 to succeed Dean Agnes Husband in the position which she now holds. For the moment, the hobby which Miss Meguiar pursues in her rare bits of leisure is the collecting of old glass. A number of extraordinary pieces of pressed glass occupy a prominent position in her home. Closely allied to that interest is the refinishing of old furniture, a practice for which she finds time during vacations. These led last year ' s Jayhawker to mis- takenly declare that Miss Meguiar ' s hobby was horses, rather than homes.

Greta Gibson and Ira Scott take that last minute look to see that every hair is in place. A glimpse of the capacity crowd. Fred Lake and Arlouine Goodjohn pitch the woo. Professor and Mrs. Wilkins supply the musical talent. The huge cast taxes even the large auditorium stage in the finale. LIKE WRITING an epitaph for a friend long dead, it is difficult to say anything derogatory about Blossom Time. If a criticism should be venomous, this won ' t be a criticism. It is more in the nature of throwing nosegays to those who made the show a success. Perhaps some of the 3500 per- sons who saw Blossom Time on the evening of November 14 would disagree with that which follows. However, it is merely one man ' s opinion and why. Any seemingly adverse criticism is not meant as such, for it is intended to be an explanatory reply to what might be the criticisms of others. From a musical standpoint, the melodies of Franz Schubert were so great that not even adaptation to an operetta could detract from their effects. From a dramatic standpoint, the plot and dialogue were essential only because some- thing was needed to hold the musical numbers together or keep them apart. Blossom Time was a combi- nation of farcial comedy and melo- drama. Mostly it was a case of probable people doing improbable things, and then throwing in a little tragedy just for its own sake without any honest motivation un- less it was to create an excuse or mood for one of Schubert ' s master- pieces. No one in the audience was as much aware of this fact as Professor Joseph Wilkins, who employed a technique in directing the operetta to which most of us were unaccustomed yet found very refreshing. Acting was done in the same free and grandiose manner that the author, Sigmund Rom- berg, intended. Lines were spoken directly to the audience so that they could be heard. Already said has been that the presentation was melodramatic, which would imply that realism was lacking. In some scenes per- haps it was, yet Jack Laffer ' s por- trayal of Franz Schubert, the pathetic genius whose songs have immortalized him, was more than real. So accurately did Laffer re- create Schubert ' s character that the illusion left nothing for the audience to imagine. If comedy is supposed to be tragedy standing on its head, then Fred Lake went a little farther and made it jump through a hoop. As Kranz he succeeded in delighting his audience. Like an artist draw- ing a caricature, he overdid some elements of a situation and pro- duced humor. Whether comedy or farce, makes little difference the audience thought it funny. Arlouine Good John, singing the part of Bella Bruna, went from a high C through the whole gamut of human emotions and ended up with a good deal of acclaim. As an example of the melodrama in Blossom Time, one of her scenes (Continued on page 157) v 140 THE JAYHAWKER There were almost coo many at the Freshman Frolic. Try and find your picture. Socud THE JAYHAWKER ' S SPOKESMAN AGAIN RECORDS HILL SOCIAL EVENTS BACK AT THE JOB, we find the party-goers have been overly busy these last few weeks, and con- spicuous is the fact t hat most organizations are diverging from the cut-and-dried formal type of party. Notable among such were those given by Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Nu, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Everything from a good old fashioned square dance to the latest thing in costume parties. The trend always seems to be toward a change. However, the sororities have still been play- ing their cards on the cagey side. Pi Beta Phi opened their house Friday evening, October 14, to give all the boys a break, formally exhibiting their new pledges to all interested parties. And there were a goodly number interested, ap- parently, if attendance can be any criterion. The same held true with Miller and Watkins Halls which opened up on the following Friday, October 21. Kappa Kappa Gamma closed open season on so- rorities with their affair November 10. We can safely attest to the success of these parties, even though given late in the season. They were a great boon to those boys who like a good party. Each year events of a social nature take place that we all like but just take for granted. Even then, they furnish topic for many a bull-fest in later years. This year, who missed the Nightshirt parade on October 14, the rowdy Homecoming parade November 4, the Parent ' s Day Banquet October 15, or that square dance sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. DECEMBER 1938 141 As usual, the Puff Pant Prom brought out the girls, but not the boys. Patty Ledyard and Betty Blue had the most original costumes. Julie Henry and D. J. Willcuts were the best truckers, and Erlene Hale was the best man. ' and the Y.W.C.A. November 1? The University student body an- nually demonstrates their interest in all such occasions by turning out in droves. It seems that we all welcome a chance to let loose and raise a little hell with the approval of the authorities and things did happen. They are gone now only in a physical sense, and we only wish here to make note of their passing. October 14, Phi Gamma Delta fraternity gave their annual fall party in the form of a tacky cos- tume affair. And the jinx room was dressed out in fitting attire a false ceiling of burlap, walls plastered with newsprint, original signs, and who wishes to mention what all. Yes, we say it was quite original. Clyde Smith beat out the rhythm while the Bar-Room Drunk made his rounds, and Groucho Marx chewed his long black cigar. You girls, remember? (lead us away!) dressed in, or rather not-dressed-in, costume- made rich atmosphere. Hats off to them. The next Friday, October 21, Acacia followed the spirit of the season with a Halloween party at the chapter house. All the typical decorations of the time, and in- formal from the word go. The boys of Lower Tennessee Street really made thi ngs hum with the proper encouragement. Delta Tau Delta came through the same eve- ning with their Paddle Party, an annual affair at which the pledges Photo by Bert Brand!

Louie Kuhn, in his best manners, styled the formality for the dance held at the chapter house. The decorations carried out the theme of the party a large poster depicting actives paddling pledges, topped by a replica of the Delt pledge pin. Silhouettes of the freshmen added atmosphere.

What Denny and Dick didn ' t know was that a Kansas City photo- grapher was there on hand to give Dick a little publicity. He did. B The Beta boys should be kept out of things like this, but like their compatriots, the Rover boys (remember such thrilling opuses as The Rover Boys in Sing Sing, The Rover Boys in the South Sea Islands?), they do such positively quaint things in such a positively quaint manner that they can ' t be passed by. This time, five Gamma Phi ' s, after weeks of inveigling, succeeded in getting five of their almost steady Beta friends to eat Sunday dinner at the Gamma Phi house. The guys accepted on the condition that their names should not be included in the Kansan ' s society solumn. To make things even more quaint, the boys in pink anxiously called several times during the morning to be sure what they should wear and how they should act. Well, they may have kept out of the society column, but they were also kept out of the Beta house. The brothers moved all the miscreants ' belongings out on the front porch (rummage sale manner). No doubt the socialites had almost as much fun carrying desks, chairs, and personals back into their rooms as they did at the Crescent house. (Continued on page 153 ) F Photo by Bert Brandt.

For on each Thursday the fresh- man class in the school of medicine leaves the cares of the laboratory behind and becomes carefree as a college man. Six mornings of the week see the procession of the tome-toting, bone-bearing medics file up the Hill to a three-or-more-hour ses- sion of interviewing an extremely interesting, but equally uncom- municative cadaver.

However, the profs emphasize the importance of coordinating this great mass of material rather than learning isolated facts, a situation which fosters the desire for a prac- tical, working-knowledge of an- atomy, and tends to eliminate com- petition for grades alone.

Photo by Bert Brandt WHAT A BANQUET and a national radio broadcast, the Uni- versity of Kansas began the cele- bration of its seventy-fifth birthday November 2. For Lawrence was proclaimed the site of the state uni- versity by Governor Thomas Car- ney in 1863, and three years later classes began in old North College, near where Corbin Hall now stands. Nearly four hundred faculty members, alumni, students, and friends of the University gathered about banquet tables to com- memorate the University ' s begin- ning, and other thousands heard the radio program which was broadcast by eighty stations throughout the nation.

It may not be absolutely true, but at least it is an interesting tale. It seems that some years ago a fat, pompus senator waddled into a drug store. In his hand he bore a small sheet of paper covered with queer marks, apparently chicken scratches. This precious paper was a doctor ' s prescription for the cure of a most horrible affliction, obesity. Now in those days druggists were not very highly educated men. It seems that this particular drug- gist gave the worthy senator cor- rosive sublimate, mercuric chlo- ride, rather than calomel, mercu- rous chloride, and the senator un- graciously died. Since the senator had promised many of his con- stituents jobs, this caused no end of rumpus in the community; in fact, the state legislature even enacted strict laws that pharmacists must in the future undergo intensive training and pass difficult tests be- fore being allowed to enter busi- ness. The State of Kansas has un- usually strict laws concerning pharmacists. Therefore, it is not PRESIDENT ALBERT LAUGHLIN VICE-PRESIDENT BERNARD WALBURN SECRETARY BETTY BLACKBURN DEAN L. D. HAVENHILL surprising to learn that the Uni- versity has one of the best schools of pharmacy in the United States. Started as a department in 1885, it became a fullfledged school in 1 892 under Dean Lucius E. Sayre. Soon the school was recognized as one of the 18 in the United States with an A ranking. Since 1928 L. D. Havenhill has served as dean. He is the Kansas representative to the National Pharmaceutical As- sociation and one of the authors of National Pharmacopoeia. A visitor on the Campus would not be likely to notice the School of Pharmacy for it consists only of seven rooms located in the build- ing officially known as the E.H.S. Bailey Chemical Laboratories. One may recognize these rooms by a small cardboard sign unobtrusively proclaiming its message, School of Pharmacy, and several cases loaded with many colored powders. Another method used to locate these rooms is by the sense of ( Continued on page 1 54 ) Society Betty Lou Adair Dorothy Jane Adair Virgil M. Allison Harold A. Bauman Frank Owen Bibb Betty J.

Men Have Said Give Me ANYTHING But Get It At 9 it A MCMH I WITH WINTER right in our laps it is highly essential that the collegiate male have the proper wearing apparel. The clothes need not be of any distinct type but they should be adequate and varied enough to fit every occasion. For formal wear of course tails are the top thing but a tux is al- ways proper in the mid-west and will fit at any function. The top coat should be of any type that is not too sporty as too many pleats in the back or too fancy pockets. For almost any event but a formal, a suit of a fairly dark shade is the most popular and the run is to suits of less pleats in the back with plain backs and split tail. Suits of stripes and solid colors and in dark shades will be the most popular. Three button single breasted models and of course the traditional doublebreasted suit will never be displaced. Ober ' s can supply all types. For the informal function the overcoat can be selected from a great variety. The light camels hair is very popular in raglan sleeves with leather buttons or covered button holes. Pigskin gloves with any varie-colored scarf are fitting accessories. Hats will be picked from light green and brown which is fitting for any suit. Hose for almost any suit or slacks can be as bright as the wearer chooses. Plads and solids in bright colors and with bright stripes are going to be in every laundry bag. Another hose that is a cinch to be popular is the solid ribbed model. Shirts and models change so fast (Continued on page 155 ) (It DECEMBER 1938 151 Site. Will THE SPARKLING, glistening holiday season is now upon us with all its gay parties which definitely calls for a new formal. The ultra- feminine trend which permeated early fall fashions is still predomi- nant. To create an innocent air withal is yet the primary objective of every girl in dressing for a party. So she chooses the demure and entrancing hoop-skirted formal; or the daring yet feminine strapless one. Seen and admired at the Christmas parties: Janet Wilkin- son in a luxuriantly heavy white satin formal based upon princess lines with an enormously full skirt made even more billowy by hoops. Betty McVey in a full skirted Windsor blue crepe with perpen- dicular stripes of rich gold, fuchsia, and royal blue. Mary Noel in a gleaming gold satin with a shirred treatment of the bodice and yards of skirt gathered to a dainty, waspish waist. And then Milady must top her lovely gown with a graceful eve- ning wrap, such as Harzfeld ' s have on display. Wool made a success- ful debut in the field of evening wraps this year. The long tailored wool wrap trimmed with either heavy beading or braid gives one a dignified, regal air. Night hoods topping evening wraps are still popular to make you feel ro- mantic and protected; to keep your hair from flying, as Vogue sug- gests. In all types of dresses, afternoon and formal, there is more of the loose-look we told you about last time. Pleats, flounces, and flares make the skin line interesting.

That, plus the ribbing Bill ' s been taking for self-chauffering in Bunny Jenkin ' s car, was almost more than he could take. To The K. U. Ladies, God Bless ' Em (Continued from page 98) intellects ever advance beyond the classification of an eighth grader. The classic example of this can be found spreading the gospel around about men in the Pi Phi house. According to Marianna Bantleon, Marianna knows everything there is to be known about men . . . and Marianna considers the men too young to cope with her superior intellect. Someone should tip her off before it ' s too late. Yet Mari- anna ' s intelligence is limited to the more elementary forms of learning. Philosophic perspicuity is definitely not one of her virtues. And this is the general rule from Tennessee to Oread, and even beyond to Mississippi and West Campus. Probably the most despicable in- dividual in the eyes of the coed is that isolated (we sometimes wonder) member of the masculine sex known as Joe College. There is good reason for the ridicule aimed at this individual, yet he is far outnumbered by the members of the Hattie High School Club. The absolutely inane, senseless, and doltish jargon uttered hither and yon about the Hill is enough to drive a man to drink or priesthood. College amounts to little more than a series of week-ends for some girls, whose only objective is to learn as much about trucking and the latest slang phrases as possible in four years. And then they expect some poor fool fresh from the wheat country to marry them and live in the big city so that the falsely enameled wife can display her college education to the uneducated classes. The height of ennui and boredom is reached when some male is so un- fortunate as to have a date with a girl who insists upon talking about her devilish past. If half of the girls on this Hill had a past as varied and exciting as the average male, they would be little more than something not mentioned in decorous circles . at best, they would be something of which Benvenuto Cellini had a lot. Every girl considers her past to be about the most exciting adventure im- aginable. Just extend your ear in the direction of Juliette Trembley ' s long line of tommyrot, and you will soon lull yourself into a sound sleep as tales of numerous proposals and vivid de- baucheries reach your cynical and rightly unbelieving eavesdropping or- gans. Juliette should know better, as should the rest of her sisters. socialites There is a definite group of women who adhere to the belief that the suc- cess of one ' s college career parallels the number of dates one is able to wrangle out of unsuspecting males. This is par- ticularly true of freshmen. To insure the fact that they are at their painted best, a mirror is an absolute necessity, and it is a breach of the etiquette propounded by Emily Post if a mirror is passed by. Yet women deny the so- called bigoted shouts of vanity and egocentrism hurled in their direction. Just as a sort of semi-surety that a sufficient number of men are glued in line, sororities offer two or three con- solation parties to exhort the men to further efforts in the hope that they may receive the coveted date bid some day. Again, each girl is given several stag bids to fling to the four winds when the big party draws near. A wise move, indeed, since the wise girl (if such exists) can distribute her bids so that she can rest assured that no one man will have the opportunity of danc- ing with her more than a fleeting instant. The logical conclusion is that the more a girl seems to be in demand, the greater likelihood of increased in- terest on the part of men in the future. Look to Ellen Irwin and Margaret Mur- ray for specific cases of this principle. hypocrisy One of the most aggravating traits so obvious in the woman of the 153 Campus is her propensity to remain aloof from the overtures of her male companion. This attitude effected by the coed is so unnatural and difficult to retain that, upon the inhalation of the invigorating fumes of the spirits of Bonnie Scotland, she reverts to natural instincts and becomes the amiable com- panion that she was born to be. This unethical method is not to be condoned, but it mutely testifies to the hyprocrisy found in so many of the sophisticated sisters. A high school girl doesn ' t need this added stimulus, since she has not been perverted by the warnings and well meant exhortations of her more so- phisticated, worldly sorority sisters. When Peggy Ghormley essays to pro- pound the ways and means of living to the newly born neophytes, a beautiful portrait of sweetness and light is pic- tured, thereby strengthening the taint of hypocrisy to be found in every woman. virtues exist But, alas, I ' ve omitted entirely the virtues of the K. U. woman. Ad- mittedly, it takes a great deal of con- centration and cogent thought to dis- cern these virtues, but with careful and diligent probing into the matter, they can be discovered. And don ' t be too downhearted, gentlemen, for we are blessed with a few, a very few, women who might possibly be desirable com- panions. One of the most delightful qualities to be found in womankind is the rare quality of being interesting. Subtle innuendo and conversation exciting the mind make for interest. Mary Joe Connell and Mary Markham fall into this category, inasmuch as an evening with either of them leaves one with a feeling of their genuineness. It is a comforting and pleasurable experience to find a woman on this Campus who can carry you through an evening minus halcyons of actual ennui. reasonable One of the most redeeming features of the coeds gracing the Campus can be found in the fact that they are in- variably inexpensive to entertain. Most realize the fact that we are in the midst of a depression, Necroman- 154 THE JAYHAWKER cent Roosevelt and the New Deal notwithstanding, and govern their actions accordingly. It would be an easy matter for them to insist upon a night in the City or Topeka, and yet they seem reasonably well satisfied with whiling away their time in local jelly joints. And some of them require nothing more than a ten cent ham sandwich for the Sunday evening meal ( although they are probably worrying more about their figures than their date ' s financial status ) . But no matter what the reason, it still adds up to ten cents. If you chance to be in dire financial straits, just spend your Sunday evenings and a meager amount of money with Pattye Jayne Wadley. Ever so often, the male ' s spirits droop to the extent that a hurried plunge into the Kaw River would be a welcome relief from the hustle and bustle of strenuous living. At such a time, there is nothing more consoling than a date who, by her very vivacity and refresh- ing appearance, can grip your gloom by the handle and store it away in the lost baggage department. The world suddenly seems a good place in which to live once again, and the sun shines with more brilliance than ever before. If you doubt the veracity of the above statement, just take a crack at squiring Helen Johnson around town on one of your more depressing days. You ' ll find yourself going back for more on the bright and shining days. To compare or contrast the beauty of the K. U. coed with that of other girls is an impossible and unwanted task. For the most part, the male FOR BETTER QUALITY CLEANING AND LAUNDRY, SEND YOUR CLOTHES TO THE HOME SERVICE LAUNDRY 1001 N. H. 1329 gentry on the Campus seem to be more than satisfied with the pulchritude and charm displayed by Hill women. Whether they are voluntarily satisfied, or because of lack of something better, is a moot question, depending upon the individual. Certainly out of the 1500 women on the Hill, we men should be capable of finding at least one to satiate our desires. After all we can ' t be too particular as some of us are prizes, and others prizes. i retire And now that this pleasant task has been effected, I plan to devote the re- mainder of the year to concentrated and earnest studying of necessity. If you can ' t appeal to a woman ' s vanity, progress is definitely out of the question. So ' tis a life of a hermit monk I must lead as soon as this article appears in print, for as Fuller says, If thou wouldst please the ladies, thou must endeavor to make them pleased with themselves. Or have I pleased you, dear ladies? Editorial ( Continued from page 93 ) But in any case he draws into himself and molds a personality that spells a crabbed old age, a personality that will make it difficult for him to get along in the cold, cold world which is mighty cold these days. Paralleling these cases are those of the lonely individuals who are never pushed out into Hill life and activities. The man or woman who comes from college able to call friends only a few who stayed at the same house is a pitiful figure. Members of organized houses are usually pushed into activities that rescue them from this situation. Yet these same organized houses that are the salvation of some are con- tributing factors to the downfall of others. The very activities sponsored by these houses create an aura of snobbishness that is an effective bar to participation by outsiders. Enigmatically, they make the strong stronger and the weak weaker. And within their own ranks the or- ganized houses wrack tragedy not ap- parent now, but sure to crop up in the future. Within them there flourishes a tempo of life that is purely artificial for most of the participants. It is so much faster and glamorous than that which they experienced from whence they came, and in all likelihood whence they will return, that they will never be content with the lot that must of a necessity be theirs in the future. In plain English, it means that many individuals on this Hill are fashioning themselves for a mode of life requiring a $5,000 a year income. But there aren ' t enough $5,000 a year jobs to go around. So some will be left out, and therein lies the tragedy. Look about and you cannot fail to see instances of this. We can. We used to think that a year or two at college should be the privilege of every person, if he wanted it. We felt that way because we believed college to be a grand and glorious experience and an education in life life in all its phases. But now we see so many who are learning not life, but acquiring a false, artificial, and even vicious impression of reality. We cannot but see that this University, quite unintentionally, is making a tragedy of the lives of many. These unfortunates would be better off had they thrown themselves di- rectly on the none too tender mercies of a cold world rather than to have come here. No, a college education is not for everyone. Too often it is not an edu- cation in how to live, but in how not to live. And the student unwittingly assumes that it is the former and not the latter. That student represents the tragedy in American education. Budding Pharmacists (Continued from page 148) smell. A foul odor proclaims a chemistry class.

He deplores the modern ten- dency toward Katz type drug stores and intends to do his part in bringing back the old fashioned drug store that sells drugs. Vice-president is Benard Walburn, and Betty Blackburn is secretary. In A Manner Manly (Continued from page 150) that the only shirt safe to advise is the ever-proper white with almost any collar type, of which Ober ' s has a large variety. For those other items when the stu- dent might be found in any of a number of jelly-joints, the attire is entirely dependent on what is closest when the said one arises. Sweaters in a brushed wool finish and ribbed models and solid plain weaves are far outnumbering others. Slacks of rough finish and cords are easy to lay around in and stand the gaff of spilt cokes. If the weather is a little on the chilly side and snow is deep enough to get out the old bob, then the warmest things for the feet are those nine-inch leather boots with raw-hide laces, with two or three pairs of heavy sox. A hunting cap or wool cap pulled down over the ears cuts the wind. The shirt of the winter is the wool plaid or stripe or any kind of pattern just so it ' s roomy and warm. This is also the thing to wear on the Hill those mornings when that 8 : 30 seems just too early.

Here may we intrude with a word of warning? If you are in- clined to be stoutish about the hip- line, lay aside the skirt gathered or pleated at the hip-line, and instead choose a skin with more simple lines which will be more flattering and grace- ful for you. Just ask Harzfeld ' s fashions adviser about them. Here are several new notes in achieving that fresh school-girl appeal.

Then an East Indian princess visiting in London started a vogue by tying two spotted handkerchiefs around her wrists to match the scarf that is tucked around her high, plain-necked dress.

Ninety of ' Em, All Doc ' s (Continued from page 144) It would be unwise to write a dis- cussion of a freshman medic class with- out some specific comment upon the forty or so silent members of the class those who are not in the dis- secting lab for what they can get out of it, but for what they can put into it the cadavers.

The ranking of medical schools throughout the country depends largely upon two factors: equipment and faculty. The Kansas school stands high in the upper crust. Most of the labor- atory and hospital facilities are located in Kansas City, but the Lawrence unit contributes its share to this ranking with its faculty, headed by Dr. O. O.

The Kansas group will act as hostess to other leaders in women ' s organizations in discussing and plan- ning new policies. Each spring the W.S.G.A. election takes pkce and all nominees must ap- pear before a board of five who check the eligibility of each girl. The fresh- man vice-president and secretary arc- elected in the fall to serve on the council. The executive council is com- posed of twenty-one members, each re- ' presenting a different section of stu- dent activity, including the class of- ficers, a girl from both the School of Fine Arts and the College, as well as a non-voting representative from each of the independent organized halls and one from the Y.W.C.A. The president of the W.S.G.A. this year is Gevene Landrith, who during her four years on the Hill has worked energetically for the Y.W.C.A. cabi- net, Jay Janes, Women ' s Glee Club, and several other Hill organizations. Having been treasurer of the council kst year, her position as president is backed by actual knowledge of council functions. Mary Lou Borders as vice-president serves on various committees and helps with the groups under the auspices of the W.S.G.A. Roberta Cook the act- ress of the crowd is secretary, while Velma Wilson, recognized for her Y.W.CA. activities, holds the office of treasurer. The council sincerely hopes, that this year there may be some worth while work done by the W.S.G.A., and asks that every girl help make its success possible by her cooperation. The Soeial Wheel (Continued from page 141 ) Ion built their party on the barn dance theme. These boys of West Campus were along with the first in advocating and carrying through the idea of more novel, more entertaining parties. We can remember the time when it was sacrilege to mention giving a party in anything but the standard tux-train trend. And it wasn ' t so far back at that. The Alph ' s world cruise carried the guests through many countries of the world, from room to room band playing from a tropical straw hut; porch furnishing a Mexican fruit display in apples and oranges; punch bowl situated in a French scene. Delta Upsilon followed these four parties the next night, October 22, giving a semi-formal affair at the chapter house, entertaining a select group of coeds with music and danc- ing. And Theta Tau filled the Union dance hall the next Saturday with their annual fall party. Of a nature familiar to us all and a good deal at that. November 4, in competition with the all-school free Homecoming varsity, Phi Kappa Psi gave a farmer party at the Country Club. Old man cold weather nearly put a jinx on the hayrack ride, but after participating in the Homecoming parade, the racks dumped their frozen passengers at the clubhouse steps. Then those poor dates had to crawl through a long straw tunnel to gain admission. (Those mean Phi Psis! ) However, the spirit of the dance with Louie Kuhn made them all soon forget that itching in the back. Cider was distributed through a model cow, tapped quite frequently, and each girl took home a favor in the form of a caricature of her date. Not to be outdone by the Phi Psi ' s, the Sigma Nu ' s took hayracks to a Pumpkin Party just outside the city, November 19. We can say that Clyde Smith played to a frivolous bunch, dancing in the atmosphere of farm im- plements and chickens. Five of the boys from West Hills relieved Smith during the evening by presenting their version of Swingin ' in the Corn along with an encore or two. It is apparent that more people today are reverting to the customs of years long gone by and they like the change. November 5, Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Alpha Mu were dancing in the spirit of the times at their respective fall parties given in their chapter houses. The boys of the Campus have certainly kept Dean Meguiar busy at her books just registering the events as they occur. November 12 Sigma Chi, that bunch that doesn ' t give a damn, held a formal dance with all the tra- ditional Sig trimmings blue lighting effects and all so their freshmen could get acquainted. (As if they were really backward.) Louie Kuhn took up where Red Blackburn left off last year and dished out the jive music for the boys. November 19, Delta Chi held their annual fall formal at the chapter house and in direct contrast, the girls of Corbin were sponsoring a good old fashioned barn dance for all those rug-cutters from way back. As was the case here, good music mixed with the right bunch of students are all the components of a good dance, in any element. Not long ago we heard it stated that the all-school varsities are the back- bone of Campus social life, and these, most of us too often completely over- look. Yet, week-in and week -out, the heads of the University furnish us with an hour dance on Wednesdays, and generally a varsity on the week-ends. This year, as with all previous years, they play their fitting part. All stu- dents have this chance for association and relaxation after a hard week of school and studies regardless of their group affiliations. They furnish a field for entertainment in which otherwise the student body would be without without any definite means of spend- ing those vacant hours in a proper form. It isn ' t a policy carried out by many other universities, and we are fortunate to have such show of con- sideration on the part of the adminis- DECEMBER 1938 157 tration. Let ' s get out and support the varsities, and show our appreciation for the efforts of our dance manager, Don Woods, and the school authori- ties. One doesn ' t really enter into the spirit of college life until he takes a fling around the ballroom now and then, rubbing elbows with newly made friends. Get acquainted with your fellow students. After last year ' s failure to produce any good bands for the four big Uni- versity dances, we all looked forward to Don Woods ' announcement of who was to play the Freshman Frolic, even as we are now looking forward to the Sophomore Hop. Surely nary a person was disappointed to learn that Fletcher Henderson, so successful two years ago, was to play. And living up to ex- pectations, he made the party one of the list of memorables. November 18 was the night, and for four hours Uni- versity students were jittering to the hot swing and neat brass-work of Henderson ' s famous band. Notable during the evening, contributing to- wards his success, were the few ten minute sessions of jamming that made the crowd go wild. A great many came at the first and stayed till the very last as could be expected for such a fine performance. Hats off to our dance manager and power to him for more like the first. As the wheel spins on and on, we go out to make more merriment do more jivin ' and see more of the same. It is bad at its best, and superb at its worst. Shakespeare was truely right when he said, quote: It ' s a great life if you don ' t weaken, unquote. Or did the immortal Bard say that? We doubt it. Blossom Time Blossoms (Continued from page 139) with Marie Wilkins ( Mitzi ) is a good one. In it much confusion results from their ten-minute conversation in which neither realizes about whom the other is talking. And in this business of scattering posies we must not forget Art Wolf, who, as Vogl, contributed much to the movement of the action. He so sub- dued himself that when he could have drawn the attention of the audience, he directed it to others. For any player that is making the supreme sacrifice. For her performance as Mitzi, Marie Wilkins is probably best remembered for her vocal work. There were mo- ments when she was on the stage that she had nothing to do, yet she could do even that superbly. In the whole show her two duets with Jack Laffer, Song of Love and Tell Me Daisy, were undoubtedly the most enjoyable, according to audience reaction. Professor Wilkins, who appeared in more than 600 performances of Blossom Time when the Shuberts were in flower, sang the part of Baron von Schober with his usual degree of sincerity. To Helen Meyer, who put a lot into the character of Mrs. Kranz, should go a special note of mention. Others in the cast who were entirely adequate are: William Hayes (Kup- pelweiser), Gray Dorsey (Von Sch- wind), Donna Hughes (Olga), Ira Scott (Count Scharntoff), Betty Lou Mechem ( Fritzi ) , Bob Brooks (Binder), J. D. Ramsey (Erkmann), Richard Gray ( Domayer) , Jane Schlaegel (Kitzi), Ethelyne Burns (Rosi), Greta Gibson (Greta), Mac Tinklepaugh ( Novotny ) , Helen Campbell (Irma), Anna Katharine Kiehl (Mrs. Coburg), and Carroll Nickels (Hanzi). Elaborate costumes, together with the scenery and lighting effects, gave the production all the splendor of a Technicolor picture. The orchestra, under the direction of Karl Kuersteiner, seemed at times to be at odds with some of the vocalists, yet for the most part was good. If credit for making Blossom Time a success could be given to one man, that man would be Professor Wilkins. His background and training enabled him to direct, build settings, correct inaccuracies in the score, and carry the leading role. The cast of Blossom Time was selected last spring from the Men ' s and Women ' s Glee Clubs. Following minor changes this fall, rehearsals were held four times weekly until the single per- formance before the largest audience to fill Hoch Auditorium for some time.

He is per- mitted to see his daughter, but his good deed remains undone, and the play stops more or less in mid-air which is after all a perfectly respectable, and often effective, place to stop. Liliom cannot be called an uplift- ing play. It treats of a thoroughly un- familiar Hungarian psychology. Its hero is a swaggering coward that beats his wife and refuses to make a living. Nor can it be called an exciting play. Its great moments lie in little things. It almost needs to be studied to be appreciated; and until a play is ap- preciated it is not applauded. And so Liliom was not destined to raise the K.U. thermometer of dramatic approval more than a few degrees. The Uni- versity is unusually drama-conscious, but not that drama-conscious. On the other hand, it is true that Liliom provides simply stupendous opportunities for ambitious actors. (If you want to get nasty about it, you can call it an actors ' field day a histrionic spree. ) After all, college productions really don ' t exist ex- clusively for the sake of a fickle and unappreciative audience (nor for a ditto ditto critic, if you want to be nasty twice in the same paragraph). They exist partly for the benefit of the actors themselves, who, as students of dramatics, ought to be allowed their little fun now and then. So this time they took advantage of their prero- gative and they have a right to be un- daunted by wrinkled brows and wag- ging heads. All of which is not to imply that the acting never actually hit the mark. Quite the contrary. The Kansas Players did indeed bite off a large undertaking, but they also managed to chew it with considerable skill. And before any more metaphors are strangled, the sub- ject might as well be conned. The despicable Ficsur, of course, was a character done to a turn: Professor Calderwood has a happy faculty of stealing nearly every scene in which he appears; and, while it may not always be the happiest thing for the play as a whole, it is a pleasure to watch the process. Mrs. Crafton though seem- ingly unwilling to summon up a plaus- ibly unpleasant voice produced a Mrs. Muskat that positively glittered; it was a joy to see her walk, and she deserves especial congratulations for that scene in which all her wiles are dedicated to getting Liliom back to the carousel. The shining light of the faculty line- up however, was Professor Crafton ' s Liliom. The mixed-up elements of selfishness and poetry and naivete of which Liliom is made all were evident every time Mr. Crafton took a step or spoke a word. It seems almost as if he had lived with the defiant little barker for five or six years had actu- ally fused into himself those strong, contradictory elements that spell Liliom. For the portrayal he gave was a remarkably consistent one, restrained and sympathetic. Yet it is foolish to declare, as one admiring student did, that the play was dead when Mr. Crafton was off the stage. The stage was exceedingly alive several times when he was not in evi- dence. Some of that credit can be given to Betty Smith, who developed all the possibilities of an important comedy role with characteristic smoothness and sureness. But the outstanding piece of acting in the feminine bracket was un- questionably that of Mary Robelene Scott. True, her facial expression and gestures were at times unnatural, but progress comes with practice and flaws were few. It is the control of pause and inflection and intensity in her voice that is the marvel: the girlish- ness of the park scene; the tenderness of the death scene every yes some- thing different and something com- reo a, Jot hit DECEMBER 1938 159 piece; the age and sharpness of the final scene those bitter words, a long time. In this reviewer ' s opinion, there was nothing more difficult in the entire play than the character of Julie, and the fact that Miss Scott, a newcomer to the University, fulfilled the require- ments so beautifully is one of the chief reasons for the quality of the pro- duction. Earl Porter ' s Wolf deserves men- tion: a character capably handled. Mary Noel, besides being altogether too beautiful, shows distinct dramatic promise. Elmer McCarty, Gordon Brigham, Bob Rohde, and Bill Shipley shone in a supporting cast that was too often lamentably deficient. The Messrs. Dixon, Merriwether, Harms, Marriott, McFarland, Laing, Tonn, and Fleming who were responsible for shifting scenery deserve a whole shower of compliments for their swift- ness. Rolla Nuckles, who directed, also dabbled with the small part of the Magistrate. He might better have taken time to improve that robbery scene, which dropped into a bottomless pit when it was about half over, and never recovered. Other scenes showed much directorial sagacity, however, with highly successful handling of pace and climax. The action before and after Julie says to Marie, Last Monday he hit me, is but one inadequate example of good staging. And undoubtedly much of the credit which ordinarily goes to the actors really belongs to the patient director, after all. Altogether, it was a singularly dif- ficult production difficult for both actors and audience. Yet, remember- ing the Hungarians who knows? per- haps many in the University audience will find Liliom a much more thoughtful drama ten years hence. At any rate, Liliom ' s dying words provide serious food for thought in practically any connection: Nobody ' s right but they all think they ' re right. A lot they know! Who? Where? Why?

Just think of the times you have heard people say, I ' ll meet you at the Cottage, and you will realize that it is a popular spot. Their jazz-box runs all day long and conse- quently has the newest and best records available. The Cottage is the spot to eat or drink with jitterbugs on all sides. The nearest thing that K. U. has to an eat spot on the Campus is BRICK ' S, which is just a pitch and a putt off. Perhaps it is this reason that makes it eternally popular. But perhaps it is the scenery provided by Pi Phi and Alpha Chi coeds that draws the stu- dents from all over the Hill. Those Browning twins, Martha Jane Starr, Denny Lemoine, Patty Payne, and Sue Johnston are the individuals that spend most of their time a coking. Diamond Anniversary (Continued from page 146) W.

Ralph T. O ' Neil, chairman of the Board of Regents, and Clarence Nivens, another member of the board, were other lumi- naries present. The coast-to-coast broadcast, coming two hours after the banquet, brought the celebration to a much larger audience. Mr. White spoke on the v alue of education, and Chancellor Lindley told of the New England pio- neers who founded the University, and of the great men who are numbered among its alumni.

The program ' s opening announce- ment, that the Jayhawk flies over the nation, was indeed borne out by the fifty telegrams and hundreds of letters subsequently received by the alumni office from all pans of the United States. The majority of these letters declared that loyal Jayhawkers were thrilled most upon hearing the Chan- cellor ' s voice, the alma mater and the Rock Chalk. Many of them joined in on the song and yell and thus were once more united by the bond of school spirit. Turning back to the first celebration, the Lawrence townspeople of 1863 had cause to be doubly joyous over Governor Carney ' s decree because of their dual love for democracy and public education, and because of the difficulties they had surmounted in securing the state university for their town. Lawrence was founded in 1854 by a band of New England free-state emi- grants. In charge of settling these emi- grants was Dr. Charles Robinson, later the first governor of Kansas. Dr. Rob- inson was a friend of Amos Lawrence, treasurer of Harvard University, a strong Abolitionist, and who above all others made this University possible. Mr. Lawrence wrote Dr. Robinson in 1856, placing $10,000 at the dis- posal of the city to establish a school of higher learning. The sum consisted of notes held by Mr. Lawrence on a loan made to another university. Several churches attempted to add to the fund in order to build a school on the Hill, but were unsuccessful When Kansas became a state in 1861 and plans were made for a uni- versity, Lawrence, Topeka, Manhattan, and Emporia began vying for the lo- cation. Topeka became the state capital and Manhattan was awarded the agri- cultural college, but the contest be- tween Lawrence and Emporia was a bitter one. Lawrence finally won out by one vote of the legislature, and a bill was passed stating that if Law- rence did not provide a site and a $15,000 endowment within six months, Emporia would get the state school. The university to which Mr. Law- rence had lent the $10,000 was unable to pay its notes, but he generously ad- vanced the money. Dr. Robinson deeded forty acres on the Hill to the city, and the remaining $5,000 was put up by the town ' s business men. Quantrill ' s raid in August, 1863, left the town practically devastated, and thus destroyed the security put up by the business men. However, Governor Carney cashed the citizens ' note and the $15,000 was deposited with the state treasurer October 29, two days before the six-month dead- line. November 2, Lawrence was declared to be the permanent site, and the Uni- versity of Kansas came into being. Later the state legislature refunded Governor Carney the money. This celebration is the beginning of a series of events and programs leading up to the anniversary in 1941 of the opening of classes. University plans for the next three years include the publishing of an alumni directory, a history of the University none has been written for fifty years, and an adequate book of views of the Uni- versity buildings and campus. Eleanor in l..i r -n- - (Continued from page 128) possible to crystalize the intangibles of her personality in a half tone, but that of course is the way poets write. We poor creatures who work in prose find it hard to describe her justly. There is something breathless about Mrs. Roosevelt and something very real too. There is a quality of strength and honesty in the woman which even her husband ' s bitterest enemies must respect. Anyone who comes in contact with her is immediately struck by her directness, her candor. And the gor- geous smile which flashes the radiance of her eyes is enough to assure one that the ribald jokes about her teeth are the products of a peasantry that is both petty and provincial She has a beautiful mind well trained and vigorous and she makes no pretenses of not wishing to use it.

She has no fear of condem- nation. Mrs. Roosevelt seems to be able to decide exactly what she wants to do; then she goes ahead and does it, and the devil take the consequences. One needs not agree with Mrs. Roose- velt ' s social theories to admire the woman, for people ' s opinions are not nearly so tiresome as the manner in which they hold and pursue them. In Eleanor Roosevelt ' s manner there is a fearlessness and assurance that are the hall-marks the world over of the great of heart.

Then she sat up on the train all the way to Kansas City auto- graphing slips of paper for the pas- sengers. Not a moment of the twelve hours was wasted. She was continually on the move. No wonder the people of Law- rence thought a tornado had hit the town. When she had left, they settled back into their calm lives once more and tried to remember why they used to complain about the rush and bustle of a Homecoming celebration.

Combines are strictly il- legal according to W.S.G.A. rules. A few sororities do put honor above achievement, and refuse to practice the method. But combines do exist and are eminently effective. No sorority girl would admit the sisters had joined the machine. One couldn ' t put his finger on the matter if he tried. So investigations would b e futile things. The boys come out in the open. The CARTER ' S STATIONERY UNIVERSITY SUPPLIES Just Opposite Granada Theater 1025 MASSACHUSETTS TELEPHONE 1051 162 THE JAY HAWKER women do their work on the sly. David Whitney, who exemplified the time worn but still efficient Pacha- camac tradition of nominating a Law- rence non-fraternity boy, leads the parade as president of the Freshman class. The two women to obtain offices are Sue Johnston, vice-president, and Nancy Kerber, secretary. Frosh dance managers, Burton Hodgden and Bob McClure, will find their duties abso- lutely nil Bob Eidson steps into the treasurership to find that there is no money to handle. Howard Rankin and Qarence Peterson, the only P.S.G.L man to slip under the Pachacamac fence, have positions with at least a measure of responsibility as repre- sentative on M.S.C. as does Whitney. Old timers laugh at the freshman election. They say it gives a few fresh- men a brief chance to bask in the limelight before they sink back into oblivion. They call such officers mere figureheads looking pretty, but doing nothing. No matter what its im- portance, however, such an election can ' t be discarded. It ' s one of the tra- ditions of this beloved University along with an annual Communist scare and a yearly belief followed by a disbelief in the football team. So let the Pachacamacs go on winning and the P.S.G.L ' s go on losing. So far as K.U. students are concerned, few will shed tears not even the disappointed candidates involved.

In both instances the floor was open for questions from the audience. That their reception was enthusiastic can be proved by a state- ment of Dr. J. Harry Cotton: This is the best reception we ' ve had on any university camp us. Particularly outstanding in the group of prominent men and women were: Dr. E. Stanley Jones, author and lecturer, and Methodist missionary to India; Dr. T. Z. Koo, secretary of the World Student Christian Federation and brilliant Chinese businessman. Of Dr. Koo ' s coming, Dr. John R. Mott said: I can think of no personality in all Asia whose message and influence would be more helpful just at this time. The Archbishop of Canterbury told me not long ago that Koo had im- pressed him as in some respects the ablest Oriental whom he had ever met. Mr. Koo so impressed the University audience also. Dr. J. Harry Cotton, pastor of the Broad Street Presbyterian Church in Columbus, Ohio, Rev. Her- bert King, prominent Presbyterian; and Harold Ehrensperger, member of the dramatic faculty of Northwestern Uni- versity, were also members of the team. Of great interest were the discus- sions on Christian Marriage and Christian Vocations given by Mrs. Mildred Inskeep Morgan of Iowa City, Iowa.

He drones loudly enough for everyone in the vicinity to hear, and tells you that Sir Gwinn Henry, admiral of the Kansas fleet, will take the helm before the good ship sails next autumn. He adds that Vic Hurt, at present captain of the Tulsa tanker and a man cf many years before the mast, will be appointed as second in command. But he quickly adds that the present first mate may be retained. The retiring captain, at any rate, would accept a position in the state government service, which sympathizes with him to a great extent.

How Notre Dame ' s green-shirted horde almost reburied that spirit under an avalanche of touch- downs. How in that fray Kansas was simply a victim of circumstances, in that there happened to be eighty-four Irishmen fighting for eleven positions on a foot- ball team that afternoon. And how Kansas rebounded the next week in all its pent-up fury to sock Washburn 58 to 14 in a game which saw blows to the midriff more plentiful than touch- downs. It relates that fans again saw hope of the Big Six pennant waving atop Mount Oread. But unfortunately the unsavory encounter with the Ichabods was a tipoff for only one thing to follow injuries. Ed Hall, first string sophomore fullback, went out with a broken leg; and Frank Bukaty, who was later to have more troubles than an old maid trying to catch a husband, joined Paul Masoner and Lyman Divens on the Kansas bench with a knocked down shoulder. Things indeed looked dark when high-flying Oklahoma came to town with victories over such headliners as Rice and Texas notched on its belt. The outlook was made worse when Ferrel Anderson, only 200-pounder in the Jayhawker line, was forced to the sidelines by an infected jaw. 19 pounds; 19 points Consequently, the titanic Sooner forwards went into the fray outweigh- ing their opponents some 19 pounds to the man, and came out with a margin of exactly a point a pound. The score was 19 to 0. Red McCarty and Hugh McCullough featured the mighty bone-crushing Sooner running attack, which netted touchdowns in each of the first, third, and final quarters. The Kansas offensive, with Miller, Bunsen, and Replogle in the leading roles, got under way three times, but only once was able to penetrate the enemy 20-yard stripe. A mix-up in signals resulted in a fumble on the 13 and nullified one of the best oppor- tunities by any team all season to score against the Oklahomans, who in- cidentally succeeded in keeping their Big Six goal line uncrossed. Varfag but no point The Jayhawkers ' faith in their ability to win was not unduly shaken by failure to trounce the Sooners, whose quality was openly admitted, and they entrained for Ames the following week- end resolved to hand a licking to the lowans, and thereby step back into the title fight. But a near-record Home- coming crowd outlasted a cold gale and snow storm to watch the best team in the Iowa institution ' s history take ad- vantage of the breaks to win, 21 to 7. The Kansans showed the Cyclones the classiest set of backs seen in those parts for some time, and amassed nine first downs to seven foi their northern neighbors, but the Cyclones were evi- dently right at home in the tempest, and through the opportunistic work of Fullback Hank Wilder and the mighty atom, Everett Kischer, kept their de- feat column unblemished. Kansas ' position was unique at this time in that its three defeats were by three of the handful of major teams in the nation having undefeated, untied records. Although a victory for the Staters, it was a double loss for Kansas. Ralph Miller, who had shown so brilliantly in previous games with his passing and running, suffered a wrenched knee. Milt Meier, second fullback to go on the shelf, received a head injury, and both men later were declared out for the season. Breather lor Aggies? Upon leaving the cold climes of Iowa, the team returned home to be greeted by a hot editorial blast at the coaching staff from the University Daily Kansan, occasioned by charges in the metropolitan press that the Jay- hawkers would be a breather for the Kansas Aggies. 2Vo, breather tor Kansan Whether it was this blast, whether it was the pep talk given the team by Chancellor Lindley tefore the game, whether and most probable it was be- cause this was the last chance for seven Kansas seniors to defeat the Wildcats, whether the boys were out to win one for the coach, or whether the Staters had just let down after successive victories over Missouri, Marquette, and , DECEMBER 1938 165 Indiana, will never be known. Anyhow, the boys proceeded to knock the Plow Tech football team for the biggest loop it has enjoyed in many seasons. The Kansas line which had drawn so much criticism was brilliant, and spent a big share of the game in the Wildcat backfield. The backs had a field day. Game Captain Lyman Divens, after spending the first half of the season nursing a knocked down shoulder, was in the starting lineup for the first time and he scintillated, getting away for two off- tackle touchdown runs, one for sixty- three yards. Whoever wrote the hit tune, The Whirling Dirvish must have gained his inspiration from seeing Dick Amerine run with the pigskin. This crazy-legged junior halfback at the start of the second half carried the ball 99 yards on two successive plays to score a Jayhawker touchdown. All in all it was a wonderful Saturday afternoon for the many rooters from Lawrence who helped pack the stands for the celebration. Salvage vhraalm ' s season In the meantime Nebraska was hav- ing its troubles. The once-formidable Cornhuskers had yet to win a game, and there were few who would believe the Nebraskans had a chance against a Kansas team which had at long last found that long-lost spirit. But Old Man Jinx again crossed his fingers, this time over the head of Deacon Divens, who was taken back to the infirmary with a twisted knee. He was not alone, however, for Bukaty had taken sick with an attack of yellow jaundice. But despite all this, Kansas did not disappoint i t s 16,000 Homecoming spectators upon taking the field against the Huskers that is at least for the first fifty-seven minutes of the ball game. The Jayhawkers played mag- nificently. Fans for the second straight Saturday saw the Dave Shirk of 1936, a Shirk who charged into enemy inter- ference like a huge bowling ball, knocking tenpins left and right from its path. They saw a Husker team take a 6 to lead early in the ball game as the result of a long 63-yard jaunt by the fleet-footed Jack Dodd on a trick reverse down the sidelines. They saw a Kansas team refuse to quit, and march back sixty-four yards for a touch- down in the third period. They were lifted to their feet by the indominat- able little Chester Gibbens, cool as an ice cake, who entered the game to put the Jayhawkers out in front by the margin of his dropkick. But to their woe, those same fans remained to see too much. Late in the game Nebraska found itself in pos- session of the ball on the Kansas 28- yard line, the result of the first Kansas fumble of the afternoon. With three minutes remaining, Bill Andreson, a Plainville, Kansas, boy, entered the game and snatched victory from de- feat by booting a field goal from the 15 -yard stripe. Kansas opened up desperately with a futile passing attack deep in its own territory. The stunned spectators had hardly settled back into their seats, when a Bunsen pass was partly blocked, seized out of the air by huge Howard Mills, gigantic Nebraska tackle who was charging in, and carried sixteen yards to the goal. As a result, two minutes later a dispirited Kansas team which had outgained and outplayed its rival all afternoon left the field van- quished by a score of 16 to 7. But wounds heal with time, and it was not long until thoughts of the Nebraska nightmare were shoved into the background. That is, everyone ex- cept Maxie Replogle, one of the swel- lest little triple-threat halfbacks ever to don a uniform, and a Kansas star all season. Max found it would take plenty of time to heal his wounds, for he suffered a broken jaw. The boys sate the National Capital A long trip to George Washington University proved to be mainly a sight- seeing tour for the football team and a victory for the Kansas band, which took the District of Columbia by storm. The Athletic Association took along six cripples just for the ride and it was a bad omen. The next logical step beyond six is seven, so the Fates hand- ling the dice, just to be consistent, obligingly rolled them.

And by the way, we almost forgot to mention it. The weary warriors re- maining dropped a 9-7 decision to a mediocre Colonial team, when Tony Barauskas, reserve end for the East- erners, crashed into a Masoner punt and sent it zooming back over the end zone for an automatic safety. It was the same old story of Kansas gaining the yards and somebody else garnering the points.

Fortunately, there were no lives taken by either side, and the Bengals, after a hot con- test, satisfied themselves by walking off with the few remaining tailfeathers in the old Bird ' s tail. Pitchin ' Paul Christman, the Tigers ' sensational sophomore per- former, and Jimmy Starmer (drat the luck another Kansas boy), pass- snagging half-back, were the principal flies in the ointment. The former once trotted eighty yards to pay dirt on a fake lateral that the locals had prac- ticed all week to stop, and then later threw a thirty yard touchdown pass to Starmer for the second counter. The Jayhawkers had previously scored after a long march through the Tiger line conducted by Bill Bunsen, Milt Sulli- vant, and Divens, who had returned to the lineup for this last game. The season ended with Ferrel (let Ol ' Andy do it ) Anderson a unanimous choice for all Big Six. Chuck Warren, mighty line-backing center who con- sistently starred in victory and defeat, missed it only because of the unusual number of outstanding centers in the conference this season, and because of the lowness of the team in the stand- ings. Paul Masoner finally saw his years of sacrificial blocking for others rewarded by being moved to the second Big Six team. Because injuries riddled the backfield, Paul got a few chances to lug the ball and demonstrated that he should have been doing it sooner.

In BRICK ' S books are the thing and many a chapter of sociology or biology has been read while sip- ping a coke or eating one of their homemade ice cream cones. Sue Johnston and other Alpha Chi girls frequent the booths but they would be lucky to get a seat there during the lunch hour as many Independents choose this as their lunch spot. It ' s noted for its good food and also for occasional hand holding in the back booths. When spring breezes blow and people don ' t want to go inside to get a coke, the natural thing is to go to the HILLSIDE. Although technically it is a drug store, sup- plying such articles as a drug store should have, the students know it as the place where you can coke up in a car. That Black Monster of LaDean Davis ' s is of times there and LaDean and Betty Camp- bell are a pretty sight for any coke drinking. Eleanor Allen, Bob ' s sister, is also one of those present on ma y occasions. Sigma Chi ' s usually ' rive their cars and dates to the Hillside after 1 : 30 and 2:30 classes and have a reunion. The upshot is that only one con- clusion can be drawn from all this: people will go coking in the spring. Some go here, some go there; some say this p.uce is best, others that. But they ' ' go some place. PRIZE SHORT, SHORT GONE WITH THE YEARS Chapter I. Once upon a time ( A coupla weeks ago ) A man came to our studio.

Dec. 4 The Board of Regents ac- cepted the resignation of Chancellor E. H. Lindley, and plans were begun to find his successor. It looks like Ernie likes the Hill, though. He ' s going to stick around as a prof. Dec. 6 Head Shyster Moreau re- ports his marriage. It only goes to prove that you never can tell when a lawyer is going to slip something over on you. I didn ' t see any cigars either. Dec. 8 Gwinn Henry will coach the football team, reports say. If he has bad luck he ' ll be scalped too. Oh, yes, Diary, the latest Sour Owl is as usual. The smell is the mothballs the jokes were packed in. Dec. 11 The Fine Arts Vespers open the Yule season. Some officious person dared to pan it in the Daily Kansan and was disciplined for his impious act. Yes, right triumphant! Dec. 16 Out for Christmas va- cation. The medics quit cutting on the cadavers in the anatomy lab for a while, too. Lucky stiffs! Jan. 1 Hangoverhangoverhangover HANGOVER. Jan. 4 Rolla Peegs Nuckles, back from a speech Convention, tells what really goes on at such gatherings. It must be better than free liquor with a bull session. Jan. 5 The Jayhawks dropped their conference cage opener to Oklahoma 37-43. Incidentally we wouldn ' t sug- gest sabotage, but Doc did pick Oklahoma to win the title and might rather be right (like F.D.R.). Jan. 9 Our junior jurisprudents gave their prexy a nice Quaker lace table Jth as a wedding present. Their thoughtfulness should he commended, and observers should note that this in- dicates that there is no truth to the HIS DIART rumor that lawyers are so crooked that they even eat off a corkscrew. Jan. 13 Indeed we will not give Commanche away. If they want some- thing moth-eaten and old in Hardin, Montana, we have a very nice selection of profs for their inspection, however. Jan. 14 Ever up with the times, the I.S.A. goes New Deal. That purge they had was better than politics in the days when they argued with a gun. They should adopt the old slogan for their motto that talks about less corn and more hell. They carry it out well. Jan. 15 Kansas was selected as one of the few universities in the nation to be a National Air School. Well, we ' ve got plenty of air out here, and it ' s nice if they can use it. Jan. 17 Diary, I am nearly prost- rated. The freshman class officers are carrying out their platform promises. They shouldn ' t be allowed to do it. Speaking with authority, I am sure that there is something in the Con- stitution prohibiting it. Anyhow, it sets a bad precedent. Jan. 25 Final week ' s caught up with me again. Jan. 31 Post-final drunks are the order of the day. One of the greater lights of the Campus was seen ad- dressing himself in the mirror with the statement, All of you guysh jush think I ' m drunk, but I ' m not. Feb. 6 .Enrollment begin- and with it, the evf r recurrent search ' Dr a snap course. The easiest I ever ' ad was in philo c ophy under a feuow called Socfrates. I never did have an over- night assignment in that course. All he did was ask questions, and you could even smoke in class. They don ' t have them like that these days. Feb. 7 The first afternoon Kansan. Now I haven ' t anything to read with my breakfast, and it upsets my di- gestion. Besides that I n ' t wrap my lunch in it. From my ' ' wpoint, it ' s a bad change. Feb. 8 Death takes Professor W. A. Dill of the Department of Jour- nalism. So long to a real fellow. Feb. 11 Robbers burgle rhe Sigma Chi and Beta houses. Th-.y wouldn ' t get anything but a Sfc.id-hand scythe and my old robe if they came around my place. Dr. Glenn Cunningham again shows the Easterners the speed that makes him faster than a Kansas jackrabbit. Feb. 13 The Kansas City Philhar- monic Orchestra in a rendition of Ravel ' s Bolero gave as fine an exhi- bition of classical swing as has ever been seen in these parts. Even Benny Goodman couldn ' t do better. Feb. 14 The lilac bush in center ad is a wonderful uplifting influence on the students who pass by, and it proves that there are flowers in Kansas. The M.S.C. asks a rental library for classical records. I wouldn ' t be sur- prised if the girls checked them out to wear as hats. Feb. 15 Gwinn Henry issues the first spring football call. Everyone hopes that he will be successful, but we are not especially looking forward to the Rose Bowl game in the future that Kansas will win. This is as im- probable as an honest lawyer. Feb. 16 Intramural basketball is going great guns. My speed is about that of chess, however. I sometimes wish I were one of these young strong huskies, but even at a few trillion I manage to get along with the females. Anyway, I ' m not even going to tell you about the date I had with that blonde Kappa. Since she ' s waiting for me now, I ' d better hurry. We want to get up to the library and get to work on Me- dieval History. Nothing else seems to matter when she ' s with me. Well, Diary, So long till next time, F.

But such is not the case with us. Too many pet peeves lie below the surface and crop out to mar our countenance. One of these peeves concerns the whole student body, another only a limited part; the third should concern all, but is the worry of only a few. First, and most important, is the appalling lack of interest in student affairs displayed by many members of the faculty. In comprising a list of the really successful pro- fessors on the Hill, one will find that each takes a genuine interest in what the students think about things other than those found in his course. These men command the confidence of their students. And the best way in which that confidence can be in- stilled is to appeal to extra-curricular interests. Admittedly, there are a few exceptions in which individual brilliance and mastery of the subject has secured the admiration of the students. But in most cases the instructor who can see no farther than the desks in front of him will be forgotten as soon as, or before, what he has taught. We know teachers who attempt to be progressive in their fields, but fail to teach much because they are so out of the world. The reason is that they do not realize that busy college students can actually be interested in anything besides the course which they are teaching. Recently a person who has been connected with the University over forty years attends a K. U. basketball game for the first time. It is almost in- conceivable that anyone could be so long and so completely out of touch with student affairs. We don ' t know tha t individual, but until we are con- vinced otherwise, we shall be suspicious of him. (Continued on page 237) THE COVER Probably no other Jayhawker cover photo has ever required so much time as this one. We know, for we were there manipulating one of the two homemade spots. A thousand and one bouquets must go to Ray A. Chiles of the chemistry depart- ment for his help with the apparatus and spots. Bill Hunger also did yeoman work. Bill Vickers and Mary Ann Cook are the folk handling the glassware. Maestro Bert Brandt, of course, worried the most and worked the hardest. , } ! NEXT ISSUE When we take a peek into the future, we can see only men and more men. The spring issue of the Jayhawker will contain the social fraternity pictures, those of other organizations, and the senior medics. To boot there will be new and unusual photographic features. Although the ]ay- hau ' ker does not plan to descend to pulp standards, the feature material should be the livest and best thus far. Articles on politics, college love, and the Independents will headline the list. By Harold Addington Photo by Bert Brandt. MOM efficient way of learning is through quiet, concentrated study.

And on further thought, what professor? No Benes occupies a professorial chair, nor an Einstein, Mann, or Phelps. Of us, the stu- dents, who qualifies with the legal number of buckets of blue blood or bulk of brains? By adding the aggregation of zeroes, we total to the same thing. With the roll call of his first college class the student finds himself in the predicament of the uninitiated equestrian and horse, neither of whom has been formally introduced.

Photo by Bert Brandt. Most comfortable of all places on the Hill in which to study is the Union lounge. Soft chairs and radio and cigarettes make perfect conditions. youngsters attempt to learn to study. For both the mortality rate is high. That of the former is measured by his nonentity. Dis- satisfaction, procrastication, a larger amount of nonentity, and the testimony of innumerable profes- sors prove the death rate for the latter is as large or greater. As methods of teaching differ with each instructor, so do methods of studying vary with each stu- dent. Physically and in the privacy of the male side of the coedu- cational playground, it more often than not begins with noisy dis- robement. The double clumps of shoes sound the starting gongs. The snap of suspenders or tinkle of belt buckle, pulling off of trousers, unbuttoning of shirt leave the future alumnus clad in plain, striped, checked, or mottled shorts and white undershirt to which only technicolor could do justice. All the while he is scratching, picking, rubbing his body. He combs his hair. He cleans his fingernails and sometimes trims them. Finally pajamas are donned, if it isn ' t hot weather. Whether or not the coed spends time in such strategic maneuvers preparing for the daily, or weekly, battle and siege on assignments is too embarrassing a question to ask. Anyway, accurate replies would probably not be forthcom- ing without going into details. Positions into which the under- grad screws himself while doing his home work equal those of a contortionist. The handy rump, placed in its convenient position by the evolutionary process, is seldom taken advantage of. If a bed or floor is handy, and the latter usually is, the body ' s side or abdo- men is utilized. Public or private, male or female, confessions and observations prove the foregoing. After the proper atmosphere is established as dousing or rear- ranging the lights, telling the boob downstairs you don ' t give a damn about Puff Puff cigars that make you healthy, after a cigarette has been half smoked and nervously crumpled in an overflowing ash tray, after several trips to the bath- room, a book is produced and thumbed through. Finally, the as- signed pages are isolated and counted ( merely checking the pro- fessor to see if he was cheating) and the tedious task of reading the tripe begins. If subject matter resembles Some feel the best way to learn is to sleep on it. Anyway, the library browsing room isn ' t for study. Photo by Bert Brandt.

Some learn by doing as is this Fine Arts girl with sewing. even to a slight degree the general run of text books it soon becomes insipid, palling its unfortunate reader. If the teacher had read it hearsay, and mouth to mouth in- formation, he enjoys and remem- bers it. Here he encounters and reads his daily two-legged news- syncracies of professors, and which are or are not pipe courses. He catches up on his neglected sex education. He learns about women and women. Here, too, the undergrad judges his fellows. He accuses them as guilty of the grossest ignorance if they don ' t know the title, and scat- tered words of the latest song. Or if they haven ' t seen the latest touted movie; fail to produce with- out hesitation the names of the reigning screen queens and their consorts; unable to quote verbatim the statistics of the most recent, record-shattering backgammon himself, he would hesitate in foist- ing it on his hapless charges. Any enthusiasm, any joyful expectancy that the description of the course in the catalog aroused is killed usually with the exasperated reader nodding sonorously in his chair, going downstairs to hear if cigars will make him healthy, or by joining the never ending talk fest in the hall, bathroom closet, front porch, or wherever it may then be in session. In the jabbering contest the stu- dent concentrates with such fixed intensity that it takes a tractor and pully, or telephone call, to yank him out.

And horror of horrors, the participant must never confess virginity, although in some circles it is a point for bragging. Since so many hours are spent acquiring the collegiate wisdom in talk fests, little time remains for less worthy accomplishments. Precious time may be spent like- wise in activities intramurals, church work, politics, selling punch boards, honor positions, being a leader. And as a substitute for studying, cheating has evolved in- to a fine art. Ingenuity, skill, individual ex- pression, inventiveness, courage all are virtues which may raise him to such honor societies as Sachem mark the cheater. He adapts the Egyptian papyrus rolls to modern matchsticks, tissue paper, and rub- ber bands. The most inaccesible places yield quizz questions to the determined seeker. Notebooks and texts laid on the floor in front of students are pedaled through to the exact pages so that the profes- sors may learn what answers their questions. Coeds, possessing legs of which they aren ' t ashamed, boldly plant crib notes beneath tops of sheer stockings which even a sophisticated professor would blush to confiscate. Large watches hold the most extraordinary amount of mental first aid. Duplicate examination papers are turned out by an in- dustrious fellow for his neighbor. CAMERA STUDY OF AN Photo by Bert Brandt. STUDENT Students, like convicts, hold three- hour conversations without mov- ing a lip or mustache hair. Shaven legs inked with formulas, dates, and names covered by transparent hosiery provide a ready encyclo- pedia. For the main part, however, crib notes written on small squares of paper that can be easily palmed are the most popular source of ma- terial at examination time. Not many students admit that ghosting is an indirect method of cheating. But they do everything from getting married to hiring other students to accomplish it. Most flagrant examples of the former type are the summer school enrollees who teach the other nine months of the year. Wives are brought along not only as cooks and a fourth at bridge but as in- dispensible accessories to the type- writer and a couple reams of paper. They prowl in the library doing research work for term papers and theses. They prepare assignments, hunt up bibliographies, and outline books while hubby plays baseball. Hiring a ghoster is not such an involved and expensive process as marrying one. They are like the air all about you. Some are camouflaged as typists, tutors, ad- visers. As a rule, though, the honest ghoster solicits or receives Many learn little of a course except what they naturally absorb from lectures. Photo b) Bert Brandt. Richest deposits of knowledge are the library stacks, too infrequently mined by students. his work for what he is. He has no qualms though his customer often has the palsy and needs reassurance that what he is doing is all for the best. Before the ghoster finishes his sales speech the customer finds himself a selfmade martyr. Students are so heavily over- worked, and so profitable has the business become, that it has re- cently been nationalized. No doubt it will next come under the super- vision of the Interstate Commerce Commission, though some bureau- crats maintain it should be regu- lated by the pure foods and drugs commission. It has such a stench, they argue. Others hold that ghosters should professionalize themselves as a group, with their own codes of ethics, governing bodies, and dis- barment as punishment for of- fenders against the rules of the game. But seriously, the procedure is simple. You merely ask for certain material on a subject, specifying the model of typewriter, weight of paper, number of words, and date needed. All you pay are two prices the price of not benefiting yourself and the monetary price the ghoster demands as payment for professional services rendered. Prices range from a dollar a page with the grade guaranteed, or your money back, to a lump sum that is ridicuously low. Few reports, term papers or written matter escape the possibility of being ghosted. More subtle, less heavy on the conscience, but not as certain, is the tear jerking technique popu- larly known among students as shining the Jonathans or polish- ing the apples. Hysterics, diplo- macy, tears, threats, blackmail, and outright demands subject the poor prof to obligations that save stu- dents ' lives, preserve the happi- ness of dying grandmothers, main- tain allowances of undergrads who depend on their rich uncles and high grades, prevent Phi Beta Kappa ' s from not being Phi Beta Kappa ' s, and pass ordinary flunkers who wish whole-heartedly not to flunk. Sportsmanship unequivocably forbids slinging a rifle over your shoulder and confining your hunt- ing to a zoo or fishing with a rod and reel in an acquarium. But students surreptitiously carry crib notes, hire ghosters, and polish apples. They fail, nevertheless, to see the analogy.

The other case is merely a crime, unpunished by law, which involves more than mere sportsmanship. It is intellectual dishonesty the most heinous of Campus crimes whether committed from behind or in front of the teacher ' s desk. Numerous explanations, alibis, rationalizations all legitimate, of course excuse this odd paradox, or are used to explain it. Even in the wildest excuse or flat, bare- faced statement of cheating, a minute bit truth exists. Beyond a doubt some profes- sors are cantankerous, others senile.

Lessons are assigned to waste students ' time who concentrate their efforts on earning a certain grade. It ' s against the rules if they learn something. Rutted so deep in habit, these men and women scarcely see over their eye glasses. Unswerving from circling paths, they read from lecture notes written twenty years ago copies of which have been filed for the same length of time in fraternity and sorority houses. Others are fools. As in every industry, the job of teaching at- tracts its quota. Egotistical, bent on proving their superiority, their main intent appears to be holding their position by proving to the dean what a tough grader, disci- plinarian, intellectual or what-not he is. And usually this type is just that a series of what-nots, their minds filled with self-designed ornamentations or ideas swiped from the most recent issues of the innumerable digests.

Winners of the Jayhawker ' s contest were to receive a ten day trip to Hollywood over the Christmas holidays. The boy and girl winning second place were to get $25 worth of merchandise from Ober ' s and Weaver ' s respec- tively.

But college debate squads in Topeka, Minnesota, and North Dakota have found him adamant and quite impressive. Power of speech persuasion is no mystery to Delta Upsilon ' s orator from Wichita began before the judges in high school, now speaks well and often for the University squad, and may debate in maturity if plans for a corporation law career materialize. Despite a mere 19 years, Bob has been so active on and around the Hill as to be selected a Summer- field scholar, Owl Society member, M. S. Council- man, and unfailingly on the Dean ' s Honor Roll. Affirms he takes most personal interest in his chair- manship of the Dormitory Survey Committee which recently summarized the possibilities of a men ' s dorm at K.U. Broadens his horizon during the summer clerking in a grain office at Wichita. Upon being graduated 16 months hence, hopes to freight his way to Europe for a jaunt before returning to the Golden Valley to study law. In the king row of Pachacamac ' s Inner Circle, de- clares he appreciates student politics for the ex- perience but more for the fun.

Marvin Moon, Lucille Gaynor. and Lucile Wagner wrang every drop of humor from juicy roles. NOW THIS is not a great play. It is, as Judith would chirp, definitely rf a-that-sort-of-thing. When Noel Coward set out to write a three-act picture of the Bliss family, the higher sensibilities were left stranded without so much as carfare to get home on. But whatever may have happened to the sensi- bilities, at least there isn ' t any doubt of Hay Fever ' s effect on the risibilities. Mr. Coward is funny that way. He consistently produces laughter out of noth- ing in particular and makes us (as the quaint old saying goes) like it. What could be more irritating than a just-retired actress who is still stage-struck, an egocentric novelist, and their two exhaustively spoiled children? Add four (not two, or three, but four) comparatively normal visitors mix well, folding in vinegar and nuts and anyone with the smallest degree of fore- sight can see that the mix-up will create something of a stir. The situation is practically bursting with fiendish possibilities. You ' ve always brought us up to be free about things, Simon declaims to his mother. And, later, Sorel remarks airily: We ' re an independent family we entertain our friends sort of separately. Yea, verily, and without cavil. On the week-end in ques- tion, one guest was expected. David Bliss expected Jackie Coryton. Judith Bliss expected Sandy Tyrell. Simon expected Myra Arundel. Sorel expected Richard Greatham. Certainly nobody expected all four of them. Thus, ominously, things begin. Saturday evening finds a parlor game in pro- gress the excruciating details of this malignant di- version cannot possibly be conveyed in writing. The evening soon degenerates, moreover, into a riot of dramatics, starring Judith Bliss. The family is used to being regaled with attitudinizing in fact, they all play up but this night must surely have topped all previous records. First, Judith happily convinces herself that Richard Greatham is in love with her. Next she finds her own guest, Sandy Tyrell, kissing her daughter; stunned, she nevertheless determines to sacrifice her own love for Sorel ' s happiness. Then, surprising her husband and Myra Arundel tete-a-tete-ing, she practically withers away before their eyes in an exhibition of self-sacrificing sorrow and pain. Simon and Jackie finally gallop in engaged followed MARCH 1939 187 closely by the bewildered Richard, who unwittingly gives the cue for the culminating catastrophe: an actual blood-and-thunder excerpt from some thriller-drama which ends in, He is your father! Chaos. Curtain. A calm, drizzling Sunday morn- ing sees four determined-looking guests tiptoeing out the door, over- dosed with a Blissful week-end. They are more or less unnoticed by the breakfasting family, conten- tedly united and loudly wrang- ling. The local performance of this compound of idiocies had a great many things to recommend it. The direction was wellpaced, with keen feeling for laugh-lines; parts of the stage-business represented distinct improvements on the script. The setting fitted the play admirably, without intruding itself upon the attention. The calculated clash of those colored formals in the second act was a helpful psychological touch. But above all things, Hay- Fever is a one- woman show. And the Dramatic Club production was really a personal triumph for Lucile Wagner. To say that she was Judith Bliss may be a doubt- ful compliment in this case, but she deserves many plaudits for be- ing able to project the bland vague- ness and complete self-conscious- ness well, unconsciousness, then that was Judith. Whoever conceived the idea of providing Miss Wagner with a scarf in Act II may be congratu- lated and the same goes for that long, painful, silent advance across the landing and down the steps toward David and Myra. Her poignant pantomine at the piano was a small masterpiece. Vocally she seemed to be acutely aware of all possibilities for satire. The sad- voice technique ( I just let things go on around me and they do ) predominated, but wasn ' t allowed to pall, as witness certain highly emphatic changes of tone ( There ' s such a thing as being too calm! ). All in all, it ' s difficult to see how Laura Hope Crews (who played the part in New York in 1925) could have been much more satisfactory. Husband David provided an- other field day for character- parody, and Marvin Moon (the man with the eyebrows) gave an outstandingly enjoyable interpre- tation of the absentminded, irrit- able psychologist-author. Without Lucille Gaynor, as Jackie, the play would have lacked much of its punch. She has the trick of comic hesitation down pat, and she can even be quiet expres- sively. That old favorite among critical comments actually applies to Miss Gaynor: she made the most of every line. Earl Porter ' s nervous hands (in the face of Judith ' s hysterics) and his shudders at being incarcerated in the boiler room were exceed- ingly well done, as was his reply to the maid ' s polite questions Comfortable? Oh, .... yes. This fellow knows what he ' s do- ing when he ' s on a stage .... Elmer McCarty played Sandy Tyrell with great care and sympa- thy; his tswther! still rings in our ears .... Roberta Cook struggled nobly with the vagaries of a typically Coward fill-in (Continued on page 231 ) Full of abortive love affairs as of family haggling was this comedy. Bob Rohde really got nowhere with Roberta Cook despite this scene. On the right the bewildered guests make good their escape while the Blisses blissfully fight along. 18 THE JAYHAWKKR Srirmtb ROM-.

THERE IS NO PLACE like home has been the theme of one of the closest, most unpredictable Big Six races on record so far. Only two teams have been able to win games away from home, and now with the teams getting ready for the final drive, there are three teams with would-be strangle holds on the pennant. Dr. F. C. Allen, who has piloted Kansas to seven championships during the ten years the Big Six has been in existence, now has his Jayhawkers in a second place tie with Missouri, just one game be- hind the pace setting Oklahoma Sooners. The three teams have three games left to play and any- thing can happen and probably will. Iowa State is in fourth place, Nebraska ' s erratic Huskers are fifth, with Kansas State ' s always dangerous club bringing up the rear. hawks off to shaky start Great things were expected of the Jayhawkers at the first of the season as usual with Golay, Kap- pelman, and Corlis, seniors; Ebling, Florell, Harp, and Reid, juniors; and Bob Allen, Engleman, Hog- ben, Kline, Messner, Sands, Voran, and Miller, sophomores; to carry the load.

Those on left, farthest from Dr. Allen are glumest, their playing chances being nil. ing trouble finding a combination that would click consistently. Kansas opened with Warrens- burg and managed to take a 25-20 decision. The starters were George Golay and Don Ebling, forwards; Les Kappelman, center; and Dick Harp and Lyman Corlis, guards. Of this combination only Corlis has managed to hold his position throughout the season. Then the Hawks dropped a couple of low scoring games to Oklahoma A. M., Missouri Valley kingpins, and Kansas stock hit a new low. Such a thing as winning only one out of the first three games was unheard of in Lawrence. A December trip through Texas saw the Allen men split a series with Texas, and win two high scoring games from Southern Methodist University. Ebling led the scoring on this jaunt with 39 points in the four games; followed closely by Golay with 36. Norton, Southern Methodist forward, tossed in 33 markers in the two games played in Dallas. Carleton College furnished plenty of com- petition here January 2, but the Jays managed to come through with a 39-33 decision. drop conference opener Most sports authorities had seen Allen teams perform too long and Kansas went to Oklahoma for the season ' s opener in the role of favor- ite. However, Bruce Drake, the Sooner ' s new coach, had different ideas, and the Oklahomans made away with an easy 43-3 1 triumph. Governor Ratner attended the Missouri game. WREN ' S i:rn - Pontius wore a worried look when he feared the failure of his broadcast equipment. Kansas had the satisfaction of seeing Howard Engleman, sopho- more flash from Ark City, come through with 1 7 points, but other- wise the Lawrence team was very, very cold. Garnett Corbin, Jimmy McNatt, Marvin Mesch, Herb Scheffler and a few more Sooners had too much power and the out- look didn ' t look so bright around Mount Oread. Kansas State ' s two man team was next on the program and the combination of Homer Wesche, center; and Ervin Reid, forward; was about all the Wildcats needed. A late rally saved a 33-29 decision for the Jayhawkers, but nobody did much crowing about it. Ralph Miller, injured footballer, got credit for pulling the game out of the fire in the closing minutes. Miller contributed six points and some very fancy passing in the ten minutes he was allowed to play. Engleman was good for 7 markers, and Harp and Corlis each made 6. Wesche with 14 and Reid with 10 led the Wildcats. (Continued on page 231 ) 192 THE JAYHAWKER RICHARD S. HOWEY RAY Q. BREWSTER W. W. DAVIS We ' ll Write-ups by Maurice Jackson LONG REMEMBERED by his students will be Ray Q. Brewster, professor of chemistry. A stiff course, organic chemistry, is made so intriguing by him that it seems easy. Presents and knows subject equally well, and his wit in the classes especially impresses students. Born in Oklahoma, he spent his early life at Sedan, Kansas. From Ottawa University he received his A.B., from the University his A.M., and from the University of Chicago in 1919 his Ph. D. Now a full rank Professor, he came to the University as assistant professor in 1919. In chemical research Professor Brewster has made several important developments. His family and hobby, fancy roses, require all of his time not spent at his duties. PROF. RICHARD HOWEY ' S undergraduate work consisted of two years at the University of South Dakota and two at Harvard. His masters came from the University of Southern California, and his first teaching position was at a boy ' s school in Hollywood. In 1929 he came to the University of Kansas and has been here since. While on leave next year, he plans to study at Chicago U. His courses consist mainly of economic theory and his knowledge of this subject can be vouched for by his students. He is a most precise lecturer and each word he speaks in the classroom is all important. Spends his summers in California and his winters in Kansas, and after this winter doubts whether this is wrong JOHN H. NELSON MARCH 1939 193 WILLIAM H. SHANNON CLIFFORD P. OSBORNE ' combination after all. One of the best dressed professors on the Hill. He is stamped in the memory of all as an unexcelled lecturer and natty dresser. AUTHORITY on the Orient and head of history department is W. W. Davis. More than that, he is a professor that students remember long after what they learned is forgotten. In letting students have and express an opinion of their own he shows his broadmindedness toward any question. A gentleman and scholar who has that rare pedagogic attribute of really enjoying life is Dr. Davis. Study in Alabama gives him a slight southern accent. Since coming to the University in 1910, Dr. Davis has traveled ex- tensively in Europe and Asia. As chairman of the Athletic Board, Dr. Davis may or may not have been largely responsible for the recent change in the coaching set-up. Perhaps the student body owes him more than it thinks. NO BETTER serious description of John Herbert Nelson, associate dean of the College, can be found than that often facetious and overworked phrase: a gentleman and a scholar. His English and American literature students find him brilliant and interesting, scholarly and human, with a profound interest in his subject. Problem children of the College find him a bit different, for to him falls the distasteful occupation of disciplinarian. His job is to crack down on class cutters and flunkers. Dean Nelson came to the University in 1925 as associate professor of English from Cornell where he received his doctor ' s degree and is now a full rank pro- fessor. European travel has claimed no little of his time. A sincerely interested member of the Jayhawker Advisory Board he is. Aside from the classroom his main interest lies in his 160-acro farm where he indulges in amateur cattle raising. INTERESTING, patient, and brilliant are the adjectives which best describe Prof. William Shannon. His Business School students will always remember him as a very explanatory lecturer and one who always makes sure that his students understand the present subject before starting a new one. Professor Shannon came to the University in 1930 from the University of Michigan where he received his A.B. and M.B.A. degrees. Last June he received his L.L.B. from the University of Kansas and passed the state bar exam. Accounting is his main field wherein he has developed his own system for which he has written an introductory textbook. He is now working on a textbook for Accounting II. He is a golf enthusiast and a worker whose diligence and consciousness know no end. THE PAINTING of a Kansas farm which recently attracted widespread interest and appeared in several newspapers was a pro- duct of Karl Mattern, assistant professor in the department of drawing and painting. As an artist Professor Mattern has achieved no little acclaim. At present he has pictures in Brooklyn and St. Louis art gallaries and was recently chosen on the committee for choosing the pictures for the New York World ' s Fair art exhibit. He has won numerous prizes in various contests throughout the United States. Students find his jovialty in and out of the classroom is unequaled among the University ' s professors. His patience, will- ingness and ability to show each student how combine to put him in the I ' ll remember class. A BRILLIANT addition was made to the University faculty when Prof. Clifford Osborne came to Lawrence in 1938. At Rutgers and Princeton he did most of his undergraduate and graduate work, and from Chicago U. in 1931 received his Ph.D. A World War veteran, he has studied in the Universities of Paris and Grenoble and has traveled over nearly all Europe having crossed the Atlantic ten times. Time honored subjects of philosophy, ethics, and logic are his courses, and he makes these so impressive that students literally flock to his classes. Possessed of an astounding store of knowledge and a master showman, the Osborne lectures are each a masterpiece. Few of them fail to contain a quotation from Plato or Aristotle. An impressive edifice by itself, Hoch Auditorium becomes doubly beautiful with the aid of the snow.

But some distant day may see the approach of these ideals. Then may the University of Kansas say: Men from our School of Engi- neering and Architecture contribu- ted to the building of these superb railroads, these mag- nificent buildings, these graceful bridges. Like Rome, the School of Engineer- ing and Architecture wasn ' t built in a day. Year upon year of careful planning and infinite energy have gone into the establishing of the school as one of the foremost in the nations. Third Row: Bloom, Nye, Sorenson, Carlson, Veatch.

Result: Isabel West was crowned queen of the Hobnail Hop by Lester Haug. A year which witnessed nu- merous radical changes, 1891, re- sulting in complete reorganization of the University, saw the official founding of the School of Engin- eering as a separate division. Pre- viously, engineering was a part of the academic branch of the Col- lege of Liberal Arts and Sciences, although a movement toward di- vorcing the department from the College was made in 1882. Two departments, civil and elec- trical, composed the curriculum of the newly-established school, with provision for technical courses in mechanical and chemical engineer- ing. All were housed on the third floor south of Fraser Hall. First dean, who gave his name to the building that now contains most of the departments of the school, was F. O. Marvin, who was transferred from college sciences to engineering. Under Dean Marvin ' s adminis- tration many important develop- ments resulted. Mechanical and chemical departments were or- ganized as separate courses of study. Erection of Blake Hall, named for Prof. Lucien Blake, who occupied a chair in physics and electrical engineering from 1887 to 1906, provided adequate room and equipment for physics and electrical engineering. Fowler shops were built for mechanical laboratories. After these first great improve- Photo by H. G. Herrmann, Jr. With really tough courses all the way, engine students burn the midnight oil constantly to keep up with assignments. ments others followed rapidly. Mining engineering, under direc- tion of Prof. Erasmus Haworth, be- came a department in 1900, enroll- ment in the school that year had increased to 197. Marvin Hall was completed in 1907 with offices, library, classrooms, and more lab- oratories. In 1913, when architec- tural engineering was added to the curriculum, Prof. P. F. Walker suc- ceeded F. O. Marvin as dean. Fourteen years Dean Walker reigned over the school and nursed it through a difficult period. Then, late one night in 1927, a night- watchman came upon his body in his office. Dean Walker was pro- nounced a suicide, for an unex- plainable reason. Dean George C. Shaad replaced Dean Walker and served until 1936, when he died in Pasadena during the summer. Then a man who had been dean of the College of Engineering at the University of Idaho and had served 18 months as major of engineers in the United States Army, Ivan C. Crawford, was selected for the position. Forced by competition and rapid technical strides increasingly to concentrate on mechanical specialization, generalized back- ground studies were gradually eliminated, leaving engineering and architectural courses nearly barren of cultural subjects. This condition, Robert M. Hutchins, president of the University of Chi- cago, and other eminent educators have denounced as teaching our Work with airplane motors achieves a new significance in view of the government ' s new aircraft program. Photo by Bert Brandt. future builders and designers how to make a living, but neglecting to teach them how to live. Opportunities in 1936 were so numerous that Dean Shaad estimated he could place three times the number of men who were graduated that year. But four short years prior to this prediction, the nearest many graduates came to construction work was as watchmen on a job. Many jobs are offered by large firms whose travel- ing representatives come each spring to view the annual engineering expositions featuring exhibits of student work. As fashion shows are to dress de- signers, these exhibitions are to the School of En- gineering and Architecture. First idea of a holiday for students was conceived in 1909 when an Engineer ' s Day was planned. Famous engineers spoke, there were parades, dances and baseball games. The exposition was added to the program in 1922; held annually except in 1933 when it was cancelled for lack of funds. Having evolved into an institution smacking of the atmosphere and camaraderie of a county fair, hundreds of persons annually anticipate the ex- position. Like every organization in a town has a booth at the county fair, each department in the school has its individual displays. Criers announce features of their exhibits over a public address system. To the tunes of popular and martial dances, groups gather like country bumpkins around the platform of a hula show. Countless exhibits on display run the gamut from the electric eye to the artificial lighting machine; from a miniature oil field to a wind tunnel. Exposition parades long ago were abandoned after all the floats built for the occasion had been destroyed by marauding law students. This incident is the earliest on record of the now traditional lawyer- engineer rivalry. Many and interesting were the conflicts between the future Goethals and Blackstones. Early in the spring of 1920, law students appointed themselves taskmasters over a group of drafted frosh engineers, forcing them to sweep their revered steps. All photos by Bert Brandt. Probably the most practical of all courses offered at the University is engineering. Mechanicals spend innumerable hours in labs working on engines. Architectural get round shoulders over drawing boards. And civils acquire that genuine squint peering through transits. Mid-way of the sweeping, a lone senior engineer happened upon the scene and in dictatorial terms ordered the persecution to halt. But his proclamation was physically contested and a one-round bout ensued. The bell was rung with the appearance of Dean Burdick, who chastised the group and delivered an impromptu open-air lecture on gentlemanly conduct. Football games, played under free-for-all rules, provided an outlet for pent-up controversy between the groups. And off the sporting field as well, snow- ball battles were classic occurrences, frequently in pitched battles of flying fists instead of snow. The statue of Uncle Jimmy Green not infrequently re- ceived a brilliant coating of engineer green. But not by any means is the lot of engineers all play. They must study hard, for one of the most difficult courses on the Hill is theirs. Their training is of the best, and many splendid technical minds are trained and graduated by the school. Quite accidental was the discovery that the school harbored an embryo Rembrandt. While working on a small painting, one student conscientiously used a paper towel with which to swab his brush. The towel somehow became mixed with some other sketches instead of finding its way to the wastebasket. With these designs it was put on exhibition, where it received favorable comment. And with the best of the exhibits it was sent off to a national competition. Great was the surprise of the bewildered brush- swabber when notified that his work had received honorable mention for its superb impressionistic qualities. They work hard; they play hard. They join engineering fraternities, and hope to become mem- bers of honorary societies. They sponsor the Hob- nail Hop. They publish the Kansas Engineer, a magazine of national renown for its articles and, hardly secondarily, for its jokes. Thus engineers are trained to be sent out to do great things. They will need great inspiration, so let them follow Steffens: Everything remains to be done or done over. Photos by Bert Brandt and H. G. Herrmann, Jr. No little part of the architectural ' s time is spent in building models. At the top is a finished product. Radios help the hours pass more quickly in a design class. Quizes are tough and this one from Prof. Kellogg is no exception. Welders learn by welding, and that ' s the best way. 200 THE JAYHAWKER Fifth Rou : Lorenz. Krauss. Robinson, Ritchie. Morse.

In the field of Campus publications, it is outstanding in its make-up, freshness, special features, and punctuality. The Kansas Engineer Gcutie PERHAPS IT WASN ' T THE VES- PERS RUT ONLY THE K A s A V s SHARP-WITTED REVIEW By Tom Higgins A FUROR is just what the annual Christmas Vespers presented by the School of Fine Arts this year caused. Not that the Vespers were in themselves capable of ferocity. As in years past, Hoch Auditorium was filled both Sunday afternoon and evening by students, townsfolk, and people who had driven many miles. Most went away feeling the time spent in listening to organ music, vocalists, instrumental groups, and watching tableaux had been well spent. Perhaps the Vespers weren ' t up to par; perhaps they were. Some say yes; others, no. But whatever the truth, the Daily Kansan critic sharpened up his G. B. Shawvian wit and let go with both barrels. Result was that Tuesday morning ' s review was the most-read part of the paper and those in charge of the paper early received a barrage of telephone calls from the Fine Arts office and even from the Chancel- lor ' s office. Basis for the journalistic panning lay in the critic ' s dislike for: ( 1 ) the omission of the lighting of a candle by an acolyte; ( 2 ) the inability of the organist to bat over .300 which is not so good for a ball If the choir ' s recessional had really looked like this time exposure of it, it would not have caused more furor than did the whole Vespers. But despite critical harpings, the tableaux were pleasing as usual. player, let alone an organist; (3) too (two) many sopranos who should have made plans to go to Europe with Professor Geltch and his violin; (4) the muted playing of the best trumpeters in school; and ( 5 ) statues who were a wee bit nervous in the tableau scenes and moved. Regardless of the soundness of his criticism, the Kansan reviewer must be given credit for an admir- able piece of sarcastic writing. If he had pulled his punches and merely said that some of the performers acted as if they would rather have been outside or at a picture show, he might have hit nearer the truth. For most people went away glad that they came. The tableaux were as beautiful as ever, the music still capable of putting them in the Christmas mood. That they might spend a pleasant hour was what they asked and received. In filling that bill, Dean Donald M. Swarthout ' s Vespers filled their purpose. That next year ' s Vespers will be of about the same caliber is probable. That they will cause an equal furor is not probable. 206 THE JAYHAWKER in i om: A WOEFULLY SMALL GROUP WILL DURANT SAID WHAT DESERVED I - I IM I0 FROM All By Richard MacCann ' Because Will Durant is so famous a man, such a great personality and because what be said made so great an imprint on the minds of his few hearers, the Jeybau ' ker believes his visit here one stormy, pre-finals night should not go unmentioned. Those who heard him received unlimited aid in their search for a philosophy of life, those who didn ' t suffered an un- known loss. Editor ' s note. THE LECTURE committee had been trying for several seasons to get Will Durant on Hoch Audi- torium stage again, and when he finally arrived, it would have to be the week before finals, with a storm to boot. Those who heard his lecture were keenly enthusiastic but few were there to hear it. All the more fitting, then, that some- thing more of this distinguished American personality should be recorded here. He is a small, slight man, nearly white-haired. Offstage he doesn ' t at once appear to be the Doctor of Philosophy, the omnivorous reader, the keen writer indeed the intel- lectual giant that the contempo- rary world deems him. But, even as he talks informally, something of that enormous back- ground of accumulated knowledge can soon be sensed. Not at once he ' s too genial for that. Will Du- rant seems thoroughly interested in you yourself, and hardly would he inflict any learning on you. But it ' s there, and you can feel it. Keen and clearheaded and avid for knowledge, he is the kind of man that can spend his life collecting all sorts of advanced knowledge and ideas and yet remain simply human and conversational and kind. A five-part Story of Civili- zation is the object of his col- lections right at present. Volume II, dealing with the histories of Greece and Rome, appears in 1940. A monumental Story, this, an arduous twenty-five-year task. But it is what he wants to do, above all other things: reading is still hobby as well as job for Will Durant. He ' s a staunch lover of his work even grudges the time for three hours a week of golf, calling it merely a physical obli- gation. But it was only a stroke of for- tune or at least he has it so that brought William James Du- rant to the forefront as an author. Undergraduate days at St. Peter ' s College found him with a large, strangely prophetic ambition to be a world-famous writer. ( In fact, he wrote six or seven unsuccessful books, including a history of Eng- lish literature. ) But this dream lost precedence as he progressed through years of travel years of study and lecturing in Columbia University ' s philosophy depart- ment, in public, in the Labor Temple School for adults. It was E. Haldeman-Julius, a Kansan, who chanced to hear one of his talks on philosophy and asked him to write it out as a little blue book. Thus did the Durant pen start to move, and it has been moving steadily, interestingly, instructively, ever since. The Story of Philoso- phy, for instance, has irked philo- sophers and pleased laymen throughout the world. For half a (Continued on page 242) To give some beauty easier entree into Hill masculine circles is not the purpose of glamor girl photos. Nor is it the Jayhau-ker ' s aim to seek out reigning Hill beauties. It conducts a beauty queen contest in the fifth issue for that. What the Jayhawker does seek is a picture that will attract attention regardless of whom it may be. The picture is first, the girl secondary.

Velnta, NO FEATHERED HATS, IM) VV HAIR, RAPID READER BRISK EXECUTIVE of variegated Hill activities is Velma Wilson, University junior, who is blest with the ability to keep innumerable irons in the fire with- out allowing any to overheat. Successfully majoring in psychology, Velma is a member of honorary Phi Chi. In spare time presides over the growing young Student Correspondents ' Bureau and keeps the ex- chequer for WSGA. Keynoting this Pi Phi ' s personality is a keen dis- crimination result of judgment and good taste and in the dictates of her discernment candidly admits that the tall feather-topped hats now in vogue are beyond the pale of her appreciation. Is likewise pleased to note that up hair is coming down again. Hopes to become councillor of a girls ' school but, with plans still flexible, might return after graduation to prime for a topnotch staff position in a law firm. Practical experience with legality comes during the summers with work among the tomes in her father ' s law office at Meade, Kansas. Spends most leisure time reading enjoys all sub- jects, neglects none. Ofttimes passes an hour with Gevene Landrith, WSGA prexy, at the Union Fountain mulling over metaphysical viewpoints and the future of women ' s self government, also Pi Phi versus Theta. Though paradoxical that a girl so active should never miss the Dean ' s Honor Roll, the ability is not lacking in one who read Gone With the Wind in eight ( 8 ) hours. MARCH 1939 209 Women By Jane Montgomery WHILE THE varsity was show- ing its skill to large crowds in Hoch Auditorium, members of the various intramural basketball teams were displaying some fine ability on the floor of Robinson gym. These teams are divided up into several divisions, composed of fraternity and non-fraternity men. At the end of the season, champions of the fraternity di- vision play the winner of the in- dependent group in a three game play-off series. The race this year is said to be one of the closest since intramural basketball was started at Kansas. Phi Delta Theta is leading Di- vision I, which consists of fra- ternity teams only. This aggre- gation of five fine players played seven games before dropping a close one to Delta Chi. Closely following on the heels of the Phi Delt quintet were the Delta Chi ' s with six straight victories and one loss. Tied for third place were Kappa Sigma and Sigma Chi. Galloping Ghosts, defending champions, are again leading the non-fraternity Division with eight straight wins and no defeats. The Ghosts are favored to repeat again this year. Theta Tau and the Comets are staying fairly close to the Ghosts with six victories and one defeat each. In a tie for third place are the Hillside Club and Galloping Dominoes. (Continued on page 241 ) Men By Larry Winn With the season for the winter sports drawing to a close and with the termination of the intramural program for the past semester, highest honors in the battle for the championship goes to T.N.T. whose teams have rightfully won all claims to the laurals while Pi Beta Phi is running a close second and Kappa Gamma is not far behind. The major team sport during this period has been basketball which has created a thrilling phase of intramural activity. Those teams which led in their respective di- visions were Corbin Hall, T.N.T., Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Pi Beta Phi. After having defeated the Pi Phi ' s in the elimination finals, T.N.T. came forth as winner of the tournament. Some of the high point scorers were McAdoo for Corbin Hall, Detler, Bitter and Smith for T.N. T., Lemoine and Anderson for Pi Beta Phi, Bridges for Alpha Chi Omega, Geis for Kappa Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Willcuts for Alpha Delta Pi. The girls chosen for the class teams are judged by the ability they show in the intramural games. These teams are comprised of the following girls: Freshman team: Bitter, Smith, Stapaules, Tuley, Lundy, Ledyard, Harriman, Carey, Darby, Shupe, Barber, and Doebele. Sophomore team: E.

One fine day not so long ago, a girl, heavily laden with pictures, trudged up to the jay hawker office and deposited her sorority ' s entries in the beauty queen contest. Now this girl belongs to a house that, even other sororities admit, really has the beauties. When she left, we rummaged through the lot and noticed her picture was missing. The next afternoon the same girl came up with her photo and the inarticu- lately given explanation, I had to enter or be fined. Were it not for one fact, we could get all wrought up and write a tirade against the soulless machine ' s forcing a poor little girl to bandy about her picture against her will. That one fact is that she possesses the characteristics that put her in our category of beauty. bull sessions We cannot escape the conclusion that we spend too much time in bull sessions. Yet we learn a lot in them. Our freshman and sophomore years were spent in a junior college, which we don ' t regret. But during those years most of our education came out of a book. For the last two years our education has come principally from bull sessions gabfests that cover myriads of topics. Perhaps that ' s what is wrong with us, but it ' s fun. Of course, we ' ve learned a little in the Jay hawker office. if had to be this Kansas, proud possessor of seven Big Six basketball championships in ten years, has been toppled from the throne for the first time since 1935. There were a number of excellent reasons why it should have happened, notable the inexperience of the squad and the fact that it had only one leg to stand on Ralph Miller ' s left one. So everybody admits that Kansas had a drop (to second place) coming. But why? everybody wails. Why did it have to happen this year? a ease lor quibbling It ' s only because we like to quibble that we even mention the subject, but inveterate quibbler that we are, we can ' t pass it up. From all reports, the Craftonian masterpiece, Cum Laude, was just that, a masterpiece of the first order. But we have to take it on hearsay, because we were one of the many who only got to read the review in the Kansan. That irked us no little; hence, the quibbling. Four years ago, a law barn habitant, disgruntled at having to pay a dime stag fee at midweeks, sued the Memorial Union for $5.10. The gist of his case was that his activity fee entitled him to admittance and no reservations were given in the contract (the activity book). He later agreed to drop the case if the Union paid all costs and removed the fee. Forth- with the Union complied. For some reason or other, into which we don ' t have the energy to inquire, the dime fee is again with us. But we wonder if we and the other 2000 who couldn ' t see Cum Laude don ' t have cause for action. Now we realize very well that Professor Crafton and the cast had excellent reasons for not presenting the play more than four nights. Still, every student in the University pays an activity fee, of which the dramatics department gets a cut. For that cut, we are supposed to be entitled to attend every presentation. Yet, if Fraser Theatre were filled for every per- formance, there would still be about 2000 cash customers paying something for nothing. Somebody has to be left out every time something good is given. This time we were among the outs. Were we of a quarrelsome rather than a quibbling nature, we should become a martyr and start a test case for a refund. But it really doesn ' t make much difference, so we just hope that the next good play won ' t try to buck a Nebraska basketball game for which Professor Crafton, no doubt, also had a good reason.

B Theta Nancy Kesler the other day had Sigma Kappa Betty Lou Mechem over for a meal. It is still a matter of speculation whether it was just part of a woman ' s craft or the meeting had as its purpose an amicable agreement over Art Wolf. H Came a sorority alumna back to the Hill on a recent weekend bursting with the news that a notorious Beta had a pin out on a little gal back in Ogden, Utah. How many pins do you have, Hamil- ton, and what ' s the score, and how about it, and what were you doing in Ogden, Utah, and is it really love this time? B Clem Fairchild, Sigma Nu dream boy, is still drawing diagrams trying to decide whether or not an insult has been delivered to his charm. On the night of a recent Governor ' s Mansion party his date, Gail Little, Gamma Phi frosh, came trotting downstairs with a notebook and book under her arm. In case the party goes dull, I can do a little studying, she explained significantly. Artie snows have driven men crazy. But until the recent blizzard ' twas an unheard of thing in Kansas. That was the way it temporarily affected Phi Psi William Hackett Hines. Drawing inspiration of Jayhawker Humorist of not so long ago Bob Lamar, who liked nothing better than to shoot at freshmen and shoot the lights out of the Theta dorm, Hackett grabbed his trusty shotgun. Thinking it would be fun to watch the snow spout, he fired it three times into the snow outside his window. Then he desired something more substantial, so turned and discharged a load of buckshot through his closet door and most of the wall. Larry Winn was on top a nearby day- bed at the beginning of the performance and under it at the finish. Hackett Hines craftily contrived to eat dinner away from the house that night. Speaking of snow? Sig Alphs are telling about how Jack Spanky Turner came through. Spanky was playing handball against the journalism shack with much-packed snow wads. A ball was seen headed toward a window in one direction. Spanky was seen high-tailing it in the other di- rection. When the crash came, Spanky was seen studying in the library. Authorities may see Mr. Turner for remuneration. At last we have proof that the Fiji ' s self- appointed most eligible bachelor, Harry Linn, is the understanding type. After dating Shirley Maupin almost steady for three weeks he wondered why an invitation to the Pi Phi party didn ' t appear to be in the offing. Then one day Shirley explained with the traditional alibi used by the Arrow girls, I ' d rather have you, but I asked some one else a long time ago. Gullible Harry hurried home to tell skeptical Elmer Humphrey how sweet it was of Shirley to tell him. ....

Announcement of the personnel is made by the Chancellor at the annual Honors Convocation, and the initiation ceremony and banquet (plus payment of fees ) take place soon after. From fifteen to thirty-five sopho- mores may be chosen, but the number averages about twenty-four. Chief voice in selecting the men is given to the current members, and bases of choice are outstanding leadership, scholarship, and strength of character.

Vice-President Lane Davis Secretary Robert Hedges Treasurer Russell Chitwood Chaplain Jl J CHARLES McCREIGHT master of mathe- matics, farming, and accounting. A queer com- bination at the best. He now is the man who handles all student activity and organization ac- counts. History: farmed his way through Vilsey Rural High School while excelling in math. Refused scholarship to go to K. State. Spent time during World War in student army training corps, but never reached France. Re- turned to school and graduated only to return to farming. Attended Lawrence Business College; stepped into job with K.U. business office in 1925 now can be seen at a front desk always busy over figures. Some $ 1 50,000 goes through his hands every year all student and organi- zation plans and acts must be registered with him. Now roots for K.U. when they play K. State. Those unacquainted with Mac at the business office see him in charge of ticket sales at varsities. Haggling with students over bloated expense accounts is one of his big problems. RAYMOND NICHOLS performs nearly every function from front man to efficiency ex- pert about the school. No matter what the job, he ' s just the man to do it. His official post is executive secretary to the Chancellor, but that is an all inclusive term. Born on a farm an old K.U. grad he hung up quite an impressive record in student days. Member Owl Society, Sachem, and Phi Beta Kappa; editor Kan san and ] ay hawker both; Honor Man for 1927. After two years grad work, jumped to job on Larned Tiller and Toiler. Still going strong, switched to writing editorials and re- porting for K. C. Kansati. Then quit exciting life of newspaper to take fascinating job of chancellor ' s secretary because he likes college life. Now continues interest in journalism by extensive and critical reading relaxes by read- ing funny papers. A golfer often on the Uni- versity course. Looks back on thrilling summer of six weeks spent in a model T touring the East. Says he will greatly miss Chancellor Lindley, but will try to aid the new Chancellor all he can.

Says that even the dogs wander into his office. Born in a log cabin, he came from Centralia. A self-made man worked up from a clerk to Chancellor Snow in his student days to the job of first full-time registrar upon graduation. In forty years has watched K.U. grow from 400 students, and has kept a close record of the progress year by year. Now has seven assistants. A strong church man to the point of teaching Sunday School and very proud of Kansas. Likes to meet the students and get to know them before they pass on into the world declares students have changed very little. Wants to see K.U. continue to grow in the future. Those who have tested the come in sign say it ' s well worth the trouble of giving it a try. KARL KLOOZ is the man that is in the money. The bursar is his title. Is from Guymon, Oklahoma another ex farm boy then worked his way through school. Finished at Lawrence Business College, worked in town, then was snapped up by the K. U. office. Has set quite a record for length of service twenty-two years to be exact. All money taken in or spent by the University goes through his hands even has to serve as treasurer on most com- mittees. Looks forward to Thanksgiving more than any other day. It is his wedding anniversary and the day of the annual M.U. game his attention in the game is because of both interest and pecuniary motives, for he is sec-treasurer of the pay-for-the-stadium committee.

This red-faced overseer with the twinkle in his eyes is Hallie Harris, for fourteen years chief janitor at K. U. For a year and a half before being promoted to his present position, Hallie was the janitor of East Strong Hall, and before coming to K.U. in 1923, occupied himself on his farm near Weston, Missouri. Mr. Harris ' main task is going around to the several buildings and seeing that affairs are running smoothly in each. He arranges all meetings, and gives visitors information re- garding the location of the buildings. My busiest time of the year, says Mr. Harris, is during the basketball season when the audi- torium chairs must be removed about twenty times a season, and stored underneath the stage. Is most disgusted when gotten out of bed by someone wanting in a building. K.U. The voice coming to you over the telephone wires is that of Mrs. Mary Neustifter, busiest woman on the Campus. She has been a switchboard operator for twenty-five years, serving in that capacity in Ottawa and Kansas City, before coming to K.U. She has spent the last ten years as chief operator here, making the proper connections and answering foolish questions, such as why the whistle doesn ' t blow on time, whether classes will be cut short, and helping students find rides home on week-ends. Of all the de- partments, Mrs. Neustifter says, the athletic office averages the most daily calls, around sixty-nine per day during the fall and spring seasons. The total number of calls averages about thirteen hundred a day, which is enough to keep anyone busy. It is only rarely that she ever has to say, I ' m sorry but I have no city line open. IN EDITING tests most journalism students say that George Snyder is the University mar- shal. Wrongly do they say so, for George is just the Campus Cop. But as such he becomes more a part of every student ' s life than he could in the stuffed-shirt position of marshal. Every morning, every afternoon, in bad weather and in good, he has the same cheery greeting for all. When asked, says he enjoys the work very much, and then has a sly chuckle on recalling humorous incidents that have arisen in line of duty. Says he would like to thank the driving student body for cooperating to minimize traffic violations of which illegal parking and fast driving are the major offenses. ,|0 224 THE JAYHAWKER Social Either a bad night or bid-policy or both cut down the stag line and enabled the Theta ' s to reach a new high in sorority parties. Wheel HO-HUM; LACK-A-DAY it ' s high time I roused myself and caught up with that fast spinning wheel of social events. I hear tell there ' s been plenty doin ' in these parts of late. Lest We Forget! First semester is over; the new one is underway, but the society of Mount Oread should not too soon forget those merry times spent in revelry during the weeks before finals came due. Though winter weather did not come in with the official season, society could never have waited for this present cold spell for atmosphere. With December came the formal season. December 2 the boys we see in uniform every Wednesday shouldering guns, loosened their sabers and danced out a wicked evening in Ye Old Union Ballroom to Louie Kuhn ' s exhilerating music. Though yours truly is not of the select group, he can assure you, at second hand value, that it was a grand spectacle uniforms, pretty coeds, medals, pretty coeds, shining sabers, and of course pretty coeds. Next night the whole Hill was alive and dancing. Organizations were giving an official opening to the season of winter formals dinners and dances. At the Eldridge, Alpha Tau Omega fraternity held its annual Christmas formal, while at the chapter house on Indiana, the Triangle engineers doffed their slip- Disgruotled because of the continued absence of a name band, Hill swing sters came to sneer.

Ricker Hall attracted a select group at the hall, as did Alpha Delta Pi at their house all in the spirit and fever of a pre-Christmas party season. Up in the ballroom of the Union Building, Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority in their finest style helped open the sea- son with their winter formal. From all quarters those in attendance say that the exhuberance of each was a great send-off for the opening night. Next week-end, December 9, the business school boys of Alpha Kappa Psi held their annual winter party with a dinner-dance at the chapter house. And out in West Hills, Delta Upsilon fraternity entertained. Lights dimmed, deco- rations finally up, and, as usual, streamers made an excellent cli- max to the evening. The Indepen- dent Students ' Association occu- pied the Union ballroom the same night with a semi-formal affair. Miller Hall, brave and alone, bucked these parties of the men students, and at the hall held its own winter formal. Yes, a popular night! Phi Delta Theta and Phi Kappa Psi held their own formal dinner-dances at their respective houses. On second thought this word formal is too misleading. Tis true only in dress. Intermis- sion at all the so-called formal dances is a cue for pandemonium 226 THE JAYHA k 1 K At the Eldridge the boys of beef and brawn gleefully tripped the light fantastic; in short the football boys had a dance. to break loose. Streamers, confetti, hot swing, mingled with the shouts and the screams of the dancers was ever this formality? December 10, Sigma Phi Epsi- lon fraternity made their bid, a riotus affair at their chap- ter house. The same night the Owl Society sponsored their an- nual Owl Screech Var- sity. A goodly num- ber were present for the selection of an intelligence queen. Probably as an outcome of the growing popularity of Kay Kyser ' s musical school sponsored over the radio. The society took it upon themselves to select such a queen. From among those present six coeds were chosen the old story: the judges and their decision after numerous questions. For the re- mainder of the evening Jeanne Wedell reigned as intelligence petition and a close second. December 16 the boys of the Tennessee street mansion; aye, Beta Theta Pi, loosed the bolts, opened the doors and admitted a few coeds to view the sacred halls the oc- casion, their annual winter formal.

THE UNIVERSITY of Kansas School of Business is noticeably different from any in the Missouri Valley, and as a consequence is in the front rank of such schools. Probably no state supported school of business outranks the one at Kansas. Its graduates compete favorably with graduates of the richly endowed universities. This high place is attained by a combi- nation of progressive adminis- tration, faculty preeminence, and the resulting quality of the presen- tation of the courses of study. The progressive treatment of the subject matter of the various courses is similar to that employed by Chicago U. and Harvard. In economic theory, accounting, or statistics the basic principles, the organizing points are stressed while the acquisition of mere routine de- tails is relegated to a minor po- sition. This type of presentation facilitates both the comprehension and the retention of the substance of the courses. A student of busi- ness or economics learns the funda- mentals of his particular field and has the opportunity to grasp the principles of this whole field. This type of subject treatment is that of DEAN FRANK T. STOCKTON the leading business schools. Its success at the University is best demonstrated by the meteoric rise of the School of Business among other such schools and the rapid increase in its enrollment. The administrator who has de- veloped this program is Dean Frank T. Stockton. He became dean of the school when it was formed some fourteen years ago and has been its leader through its rapid advance. He has his own dis- tinctive way of doing things and they are successful four of his former men are now teaching in the Harvard Graduate School of Business.

I 230 THE JAYHAWKER AS V O FODDER FOR THE VARSITY THEY LEARN TO TAKE IT. NEXT FALL THEY ' LL SHOW THEIR STUFF UNSEEN AND unsung heroes of the football season are the members of the freshman squad. Their exploits do not make them heroic, rather it is their fortitude and patience. Who can say that it is easy to run daily through tackling and blocking practice, dummy and real scrimmage, and then be chased from the north practice field to the south to be offered up as a sacrifice to the varsity? Daily to be romped and stomped on, leered at and smeared by fellows both bigger and older is a chore even for those who have what it takes. And the frosh gain for their martyrdom only a numeral and experience. They had not even a game in which to get a fleeting grasp on glory. But from the freshman squad will come the men that can make or break next year ' s varsity. If some of them can plug the glar- ingly weak spots in this year ' s team, the Kansas season may be suc- cessful. In spring practice, which has already started, they will be given the chance to show their wares on an equal footing with the veterans. Not particularly outstanding was this year ' s squad. Yet it boasted several men that should be of value in the future. Stand- outs were: Gidge Cierny at center, Jay Kern at guard, Jim Holloway and Hubert Ulrich at tackle, Bill Hahn and Jake Fry in the back- field. Out of their associations on the practice field there grew an or- ganization unique at Kansas. The freshmen decided that there was no reason why they shouldn ' t be permitted a bit of social life. So under the leadership of Gidge Cierny and Bob White they or- ganized. Later including the var- sity, the group had two dances and sponsored several showings of football movies. fifth Row: Lyle Sturdy, Hubert L ' lrich, Albert Spence, Bill Kern, George Darrow, George Arnold, Ralph Conger (coach), Huber Farney, Dan LaShelle, Gidge Cierny, Miller Cameron, Ramie Beims.

MARCH 1939 231 A Year lor the Homers (Continued from page 191) nebraska upsets cart Experts were still very much on the Kansas bandwagon when it pulled out for Lincoln for a game with Nebraska ' s fast Cornhuskers. Miller ' s injured knee apparently was healing, and Miller, even with an injured knee, put confi- dence in the team. Nebraska appar- ently didn ' t have much faith in expert opinion as Kovanda, Werner, and Fitz slapped in points so fast that Kansas didn ' t have time to do much scoring. The final score was 48-37 with Allen and Engleman leading an unsuccessful attack. At this stage of the race Missouri was leading the conference, having bumped Oklahoma and Iowa State, and the Tigers came to Lawrence in an unusual capacity. (That is, in basket- ball.) They were the favorites, and that pleased Doctor Allen immensely. After a rip roa ring 40 minutes, Mis- souri had lost its first Big Six battle of the season 37-32; and Kansas again had a .500 rating. Engleman and Cap- tain Lyman Corlis were the Kansas sparkplugs, but a highlight was the playing of John Kline, sophomore guard, starting his first game. Kline was good for 5 points and he did a splendid job of guarding. Dick Harp, who was replaced by Kline in the starting lineup, did his bit after Kline went out on fouls, and scored 6 points to ice the game. Towering Haskell Tison, Missouri center, and John Lob- siger, Missouri captain, were the Tiger offensive guns and they were almost too offensive. cyclones breeze through Kansas State, apparently didn ' t care for the first game it turned in here, and seemed to be away to an easy triumph at Manhattan. With only ten minutes to go the Wildcats led by 12 points, but they had forgotten about Miller, Corlis and Ebling. Miller took over the game and began firing in points, and passes which enabled his teammates to score. Ervin Reid and Wesche counted 28 of the Wildcats points, but Corlis with 12, Miller with 10, and Ebling with 8 gave the Manhattan supporters heart failure as they closed up the 12 point gap and came through with a 40-38 decision. Three days later at Ames this score was almost duplicated but this time Kansas was the underdog in a 40-37 battle. The game was ballyhooed as a duel between Bob Allen, son of the Kansas coach, and Bob Menze, son of the Cyclone mentor. The ballyhoo wasn ' t far wrong, but young Menze came through with flying colors and 13 points. Allen starred for Kansas. corlis., werner in duel Kansas again had a .500 rating with three won and three lost when Nebraska invaded Lawrence February 15. The game turned out to be one of the wildest and most exciting ever played in Hoch Auditorium. Interesting was the fact that while Nebraska was never in the lead the Huskers never dropped more than four points behind. Kansas had a 29-26 halftime lead, and each team scored 20 points in the last 20 minutes to give the Hawks a 49-46 decision. Sparkplug Lyman Corlis, Kansas captain, and Alton Werner, Nebraska hotshot guard from Frankfort, Kansas, balanced each other with 19 points apiece. Engleman and Kovanda, Nebraska forward, also cancelled each other with 10 points each, but the points made by Miller, Kline, and Bob Allen offset the points contributed by Fitz, Randall, Thomas et al. outlook not too dark Now with three games remaining the picture could be much worse. Two of the games are home affairs with Iowa State and the league leading Sooners, and Missouri will have to be met at Columbia. Standouts for the season include Cor- lis, Kansas ' best bet for all-conference honors; Ralph Miller, Howard Engle- man, Bob Allen, Bruce Voran and Johnny Kline, the sophomore quintet; Don Ebling, a rebounding artist for his size and a good shot; and Dick Harp, Fred Pralle ' s running mate of last year, who hasn ' t hit the stride expected of him this year but who has the habit of coming through with points when needed. Disappointments might be listed as the failure of Miller ' s knee to respond to treatment as quickly as expected; and the training infractions which caused Dr. Allen to drop George Golay, potentially a great basketball player; and Bruce Reid, smooth passing junior; from further competition on this year ' s team. Hay Fever (Continued from page 187) character; she so far succeeded as to translate Myra from a mouthpiece for dialogue almost into a human being .... Betty Bradley took the trouble to make a distinct individual out of the funny woman that opened the door. On the other hand, Mary Noel, of whom some rash things were predicted in a previous article, showed evidence, first, of miscasting, and second, of a sublime indifference to the need for occasional subtleness and variety in the character of Sorel. Bob Rohde, who surely knows better, turned in a per- formance as Simon that seemed to pos- sess neither variety nor interest. Part of this last may be the director ' s fault. Certainly both these persons were saddled with straight parts which al- most defy any attempts at interpre- tation, and perhaps it is unfair to blame the actors. It can ' t be denied that Noel Coward is something less than clear, at times, especially for the actors, poor things. He is all too likely to put the characters at the mercy of their own dialogue. If Molnar ' s realism-versus- fantasy is baffling, Coward ' s farce-plus- realism is at least enough to send the hardworking thespian into fits yes, fits. Such a state may be a trifle uncom- fortable for the actor, but it should serve as an instructive introduction to the difficulties and intricacies of comedy and it should, after all, put him into just the right mood. Certainly this play this cerebral concussion is completely and un- equivocally mad. If you don ' t go at it with that in mind, you ' ll miss the point. Or, rather, you may catch it which would be most embarrassing, since there isn ' t any.

On the other hand if you are going to buy a new model take a look at the new herringbones for spring in the new light shades. They come in plains and over plaids and some nifty bright gab- erdines, the traditional light weight suit.

The buyer may choose any of a number of worsteds in all colors and models with three buttons the prerequsite. Long coats are the most popular and please the eye of the most critical buyer.

This the most com- fortable combination and also the most popular. Wear a soft collar attached tux shirt and a mid-nite blue or black tie, a carnation, black calf or patent leather shoes and enjoy the party.

Prints have become prim; at the mid- winter season, prints were riotously wild, oriental paisley scrolls in multi-colors predominating. But now the prints have been chas- tened and made most sedate. Even flower prints are growing orderly. Trim these most proper prints with tidy white pique. Speaking of primness, the back- to-childhood trend in dresses is gathering greater momentum. Many of the newest Paris models look like they had been taken off a little girl of the Victorian story- books: the full-skirted day dress, the petticoat dress, and the funny guimpes with cute touches of white at neck and cuffs.

Rusiness School Ranks High (Continued from page 228) The teaching staff has a number of characters whose scholarship and per- sonalities make their courses both valuable and long remembered. Ise, Gagliardo, Jensen, Taggart, and Howey come to mind immediately. Iss and Jensen have written books that are classics in their particular field. Each of these men have made a real con- tribution to their sphere of study. Each has a distinctive manner of lecturing which is famous among the students. An important aspect of the School which a prospective student should value is the Placement Bureau. This bureau, under the direction of Dean Stockton attempts to secure employ- ment for all graduates. It has been re- markably successful as over a period of depression years it has placed about fifty per cent of the seniors before graduation and has aided most of the others to secure employment. This is surely a valuable service. The bureau and the professors of the School have developed numerous contacts which aid in placement. Representatives from various large concerns come to the Campus to interview prospective em- ployees; and there are numerous in- quiries by mail. There are several organizations con- nected with the School of Business among which is Beta Gamma Sigma, national honorary commerce fraternity. Its membership is selected on a basis of scholarship and character. Each year the honor student for the School is chosen last year ' s choice being Loren McCormack. Two national professional fraternities, Delta Sigma Pi and Alpha Kappa Psi, are connected. One need not be a prophet to visu- alize a large and more famous School of Business housed in a fine building of its own, for this is surely the hand writing on the wall.

The Sophomore Hop. Perhaps it was the psychology of the thing, per- haps it was because we had expected something quite different, or perhaps the dance was really good; never-the- less, the hop was superior to any all- school party since Bob Crosby was here in the spring of ' 37. Jimmy Joy ' s smooth danceable style was a relief after the hot swing that usually echoes in the hall. Then his numerous novel- ties and his floor-show were variety a heretofore unknown quality at Uni- versity dances. Of course, there are those that disagree, and are still dis- satisfied. To Don Woods again go our thanks for a change, an entirely en- joyable all-school dance. Next evening, January 7, Alpha Chi Omega virtually tore up the Union ballroom with their formal.

COUNTRY CLUB PLAZA Neighborhood West of 47th Main season. The Acacia boys dined and danced at their house on the same night. January 13 was another big night. Chi Omega and Corbin Hall entered into the spirit of the season with their winter formals at their respective houses. The Union Building saw two big affairs, one for the boys of 1225 Oread Street, and the other for the gayly clad members of the University band. They had their hey-day, dis- carding instruments for dancing pumps. January 14 Kappa Alpha Theta gave a dance that was an exception to the rule. Some factor prevented the usual surplus of boys from attending, per- haps as the Theta ' s have a new and im- proved policy. At any rate, they cer- tainly rang the bell with this one. Louie Kuhn played. Continuing the custom renewed last year, Phi Kappa Psi and Phi Gamma Delta held the Jeffersonian Duo January 20 at the Union ballroom. The boys of the two organizations have made a definite con- tribution to the annual list of Hill parties. Next night, the gridiron boys were entertained by the K.U. Relay Club at the Eldridge Hotel. A dance for those fleet and heavy boys that we often never picture other than as on the battle grounds. Up in the Union Building, Pi Beta Phi decorated for their winter blow-out a good wintry, sorority swing fest. Thus ended the first semester ' s social events, but semester exams contained an as- sociation in themselves though of an entirely different nature than that familiar to most of the students. February 2 you all should know the date led to the usual after-math celebrations, at Hill hangouts, and but that ' s another story.

Roger Ludeman, Kappa Sig aspirant for the affections of Helen Johnson, reports that she ' s invented a new excuse for date breaking, date refusing, or anything else that ' s convenient. A January afternoon found Rog think- ing he had a date with Helen but she informed him that she simply must get back to the Kappa house to count her laundry of all things. Kappa ' s say that Helen was sincere except that there wasn ' t any laundry to count and so-o-o the two blondes spent the after- noon alone, but separated. (P.S. We don ' t get it either but all the better guys and gals laughed when they told it to us. ) 9:15 on January 13 found a Sig Ep calling for a date with almost anybody he could get at the Alpha Chi house. Asking for several different gals in order of preference, he was politely but firmly told that every girl in the house was out. Plenty popular, he thought, and working from Bricks to the Jayhawk he told the story around until he reached the Blue Mill where at last he discovered that it was the night of the Alpha Chi party. Over his fourth beer, he morbidly remarked, Well, I guess I don ' t have a date with an Alpha Chi or she ' d come by for me. MARCH 1939 237 . Editorial (Continued from page 177) On the other hand, we have in mind a fellow who didn ' t try to teach us a whole lot. But he was human to the nth degree. He took an interest in all our activities, even giving us some good advice about them that sometimes we fortunately followed. What he taught us is sticking and will continue to stick long after we have forgotten the mass of information beaten into us by some of the automatons. Next gripe on our list is directed at the intramurals program. With the theory we have no quarrel. In fact, we think that everyone should get into some form of them. Walking to and from classes and bull sessioning does not furnish sufficient exercise. But under the present set-up they are over- done. At the end of every season a top speed schedule is arranged in order to get things run off and playoffs started. In one respect that is fine as the spec- tators are given plenty of exciting games. But the competitors fare not so well. In the organized houses the same in- dividuals have to bear the brunt of competition in all sports. And when the speed-up comes, such as was recently done in basketball and volley- ball, the boys literally take a beating. Many fellows have had to play four consecutive days, some more. Few are the men who can afford to take two hours a day for intramurals. That is not taking into account the drain of energy from bodies that are far from being in condition for strenuous exercise. The result is everybody ends up tired and with a cold . The winners have a little salve for their wounds. The losers don ' t get any fun out of it. Only organization loyalty makes them trudge through their paces. Next year, Mr. Elbel, shorten your schedule so playing will be play, not unpaid work. Lastly comes our gripe at student politics. Most students are either so disgusted or apathetic that they do not bother with them. Both are unhealthy conditions needing a remedy. The spring campaign is almost upon us with all its palaver and folderol, so we won ' t say much for fear of falling off the fence that we must straddle. But we shall stick out our necks far enough to say that the present set-up in both men ' s and women ' s politics and in all parties is rotten to the core. We belong definitely to the disgusted class. The training that is being given here will do nothing to raise the level of real politics twenty years hence. Next issue we promise you a really analytical, and we hope interesting, article on student politics. The election will be over by then, but it will have been written before the election. So neither will influence or color the other. No punches need be pulled, and there can be no sour grapes. Watch for it, it should be good.

Ten minutes later everybody was tired of reviewing notes and wishing that the dean would arrive and start the test. By then the braver souls were suggesting a walk- out. Fifteen more jittery minutes later one conscientious lass called the Nel- son home by phone. A few minutes more and a blushing and flustered Dean Nelson walked in stammering that he was positive the exam was scheduled for Wednesday. roopcrafion Tis rumored that recently one of the stronger fraternities on the Hill had a very stormy chapter meeting. Trouble was that a certain up-and- coming fraternity was giving the former a bit of trouble in grabbing off Hill honors. Question was what to do about it? The brothers finally an- alyzed u.-a.-c. fraternity ' s secret of suc- cess as cooperation between freshmen and actives. To show that they really wanted success and were willing to cooperate to attain it, the brothers de- cided that they should pitch in and help the freshmen work on Saturday mornings. It ' s our guess that by this time they have decided that either cooperation is not essential to success or success is not essential to the fra- ternity. Rivalling each other in numerical strength of male suitors are Theta ' s Betty Martin and Jean Eichenberger. Martin has to run approximately three shifts a night to satisfy Don Thomas and Harry Lewis, both of the Beta lodge, and Bob Rowlands, Phi Gam flash of yesteryear. Fortunately, Bob works at night so his free hours are few and he is less demanding. Eichen- berger, perennial Jayhawker beauty queen, has difficulty finding time for the veteran Steve Houston, John Gay, and Maestro Clyde Smith of swing band fame. Perhaps Smith ' s newly found affinity for Pi Phi Martha Jane Starr will make more easy the award- ing of Eichenberger ' s party bid.

A young prof recently called up a beauteous coed and asked her if she wouldn ' t come over to his apartment and keep him company so he wouldn ' t get lonely while his wife was away. There ' s no use asking us either because we don ' t want any slander suits on our hands. THE Preferred Fire Insurance Company A Kansas Company Writing all Fire and Allied Lines of Insurance CLYDE W.

The Buccaneer ' s are in second place followed closely by the Tennessee Tro- jans. The Alpha Kappa Psi ' s do not meet the Hellhounds until the last round so the result of this division will probably be decided when these two teams meet. The B teams of Delta Chi and Phi Delta Theta are tied for first place in Division IV which consists of fraternity B teams. The pace-setters have won five games with no defeats. Close on their heels is a fine Phi Kappa Psi quin- tet with five victories but one defeat against their record. Following the Psi ' s are the Phi Gam ' s with one de- feat and only four victories. In Division V, we find the Beta Theta Pi C team leading with four wins and no set backs. The Phi Delta Theta C team and the Sigma Chi D team are tied for second place having three victories and one loss each. With two losses and two wins, is the Phi Kappa Psi C team in fourth place. Volleyball also has its fling during the basketball season and the Phi Gamma Delta sextet are leading this Division with five victories. The Gams are fol- lowed closely by the Kappa Sigs who have won six games but dropped one. In a three-place tie for third honors are Phi Kappa Psi, Delta Upsilon, and Sigma Nu.

Senior team: Willcuts, Detlor, Van Cleave, Woods, Lattner, Mary Learnard, Busenbark, Bigelow, Allen, Heitmann, Paden, and Montgomery. The individual sports in which there has been widespread participation were handball, ping pong doubles, darts, and basketball free throw. The handball tournament was won by Lois Wisler who defeated Virginia Anderson in the finals. T.N.T., Pi Beta Phi, and Kappa Kappa Gamma were the organizations having the highest number of points for individual activity in handball. There was some fast playing ex- hibited in the ping pong doubles matches which resulted in T.N.T., Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Pi Beta Phi leading in their divisions. T.N.T. won an exciting play-off match with the Pi Phis. Three of the teams which brought T.N.T. into first ranking were comprised of McDermond and Hawkey, Detlor and Koelzer, Ulm and Learnard. Other outstanding teams were Lemoine and Anderson, Sloan and Smythe, Lewis and Barclay playing for Pi Beta Phi and Johnson and Waring, Jane and Ellen Irwin, McCoy and Geis playing for Kappa Kappa Gamma. While the darts contest is not yet completed, those competing in the semifinals were Lemoine, Anderson, Willcuts and Montgomery. Next major event scheduled is the women ' s swimming meet. Pi Beta Phi again is the defending champion and is favored to repeat. Kappa Kappa Gamma should furnish the stiffest com- petition. What We Learn. And How!

While eating luncheon at the MGM lunch stand, they saw Heddy LaMarr and Spencer Tracy, not to mention several lesser lights. Miss Willcuts was highly unimpressed by the stars as a whole, concluding that they are a superficial and artificial race of people. Upon observing the footprints in the cement at Grauman ' s Chinese theater, she was astonished by the dimunitive foot size of the female stars. Her conclusion was that they do not walk on dates. Other visits were made to the Rose Bowl and Santa Anita race track. On the return trip the lucky couple passed through Albuquerque, New Mexico, and D.

He has definite ideas about edu- cation, declaring that it should teach forcefully and interestingly control of life, enjoyment of life, and undertsand- ing of life. Therefore, he voiced his most earnest approval when the Chan- cellor told of his plan to teach a sopho- more course in Conduct of Life. Turning to him, Mr. Durant exclaimed: No matter what is may be called, you wouldn ' t teach an elementary course! Touring for lectures destroys the health, he avers. But, he adds, with that quick little smile, it affords some of the applause a writer never gets. As a speaker, the man is almost ideal: humor, clarity, power, and a phenome- nal command over words, are his; and he dares, besides, to offer a speech literally packed full of facts and ideas. In his lecture here he pleaded (a la H. G. Wells ) for a scientific attack up- on national problems. With his left hand he kept the audience thoroughly awake by making wry references to the St. Vilification of the dance and the million-dollar morons that infest the colleges. But with his right hand, he drove home, one by one, the five es- sential respects wherein America needs invigorating: its soil, its eco- nomic life, its political consciousness, its biological stamina, and, above all, its moral fiber. Listeners agreed; listeners disagreed. But more im- portant listeners thought it over. For himself, Will Durant shakes his head at the designation philosopher hopes only to be known as a his- torian. But he can lay claim to a notable achievement: he has brought to many preoccupied minds all over the world a new conviction that the de- batable things in life are eminently worth discussing. , Jiofet lanharofe 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.

It ' s the best of the good work he ' s done for the Jaybawker. Then go to page 302 and peruse carefully John Randolph Tye ' s masterpiece. Both are fine pieces of writing. A third member of the journalism clan to make a contribution is Harry Hill. On page 296 he tersely tells the story of that movement that has taken the Hill by storm the I.S.A. And Harry ' s story will take you by storm. Dick MacCann bids farewell to ye dramatique criticisme ( those were his own words) this issue. And he really makes it a big send-off. His reviews of Cum Laude and Outward Bound on pages 276 and 299 are worth your at- tention. Bert Brandt achieves his greatest triumphs in this issue. His work is everywhere. Bert took these pictures under the double handicap of a new camera to which he was unaccustomed and perpetually nasty weather. The glamor girl picture of Betty Bell is his masterpiece in that line. For it, rest your eyes on page 291. For other finished products of his look on pages 278, 296, 304, 309, and 315. As usual he turned in his good work on the personality photos. And when speaking of personalities, don ' t overlook Stew Jones ' write-ups. Everyone of them is a gem.

Any advertising man will tell you that there ' s plenty in a good name properly publicized. Fortunes have been made by men who hit upon the proper name for a product and then saw to it that the public was properly introduced. But what ' s that got to do with K.U.? you ask. Well, it has this much: right here on the Hill there are examples of the worth of a good name. Three years ago there occurred a concrete example of what a name can help do. A violin-playing, smart politician was elected presi- dent of the M.S.C. His opponent was smart, too so smart that he is now on the University faculty. We doubt very much that John Phillips could have beaten Ross Robertson. But the fact remains that plain Ross Robertson couldn ' t beat John Milton Phillips. That Milton made him really stand out from the mob. And you ' ll never convince us that Kenny Lewis Till COVER If you don ' t agree that this cover is the best that the Jayhawker Magazine has ever carried, we ' ll be bullheaded and still say that it is.

Ask yourself if Hugh T. Jones would mean quite so much without the T ? A bit of advice that will no doubt go unheeded is to Shinster Robertson. That Jimmy stuff just doesn ' t seem to fit. It sounds about like Walt Winchell or Westy Pegler. John Randolph Tye, we hope, will clinch our argu- ment. His column would be just as good were it written by plain John Tye. But that Randolph gives his pungent comments distinction. A year ago John Tye appeared on the masthead of the Kansan and nobody noticed. Now everybody knows what John Randolph Tye stands for even if they don ' t know just who the possessor is. So we offer this little piece of advice to those who (Continued on page 325 ) NEXT ISSUE Uncle Walt told the doubting Skeezix that he wouldn ' t take anything for his annual picture he had twenty years before.

THEIR VALUE OFT QUESTIONED OF LATE I 1 1 I GREEKS REALLY 4 n VI Klltl I i: SOMETHING By Fred Littooy Fraternity meals are not so formal that they exclude badinage, but the development of good manners is always foremost. AS AN ELEMENT is to a chemical compound, so is a fraternity to a school; in short, it is one of the integral parts of a school. It is NOT the compound itself, as some have been erroneously led to believe. Therefore, it is fundamentally important to remember that the fraternities exist BECAUSE of the school, and not the school for the fraternities. But fraternities constitute an essential benefit to a school, and have been throughout scores of years. Their advantages, which have been both carelessly and purposely overlooked so often, vastly outweigh any disadvantages incurred. So let ' s lift the curtain and peek into the true worth and meaning of fra- ternities on a college campus, viewing the situation fairly and without predilections in an effort to bring to light the Greek world as it actually exists, and not merely as depicted in cinema and fiction. Before launching into a general consideration of fraternities, a word should be said about their function on this Campus. Many schools exist very well without Greek organizations. But investigation will reveal that these schools all have an extensive dormitory system. These dorms, often called clubs, in effect are fraternities minus the name. No such system exists here, and it is left to the fraternities to supply housing and the functions that will now be enumerated. treshmen need guidance To the newly recruited freshman, fraternity life is a novel and unique experience, viewed with some trepidation, but mainly with delight. Whether the newcomer is to be ambitious or indolent, cultured or barbarous, successful or unsuccessful, is a story to be related within the next four years. The freshman has entered a progressive, competitive, yet sympa- thetic world, and must adjust himself to it. It is here that willing hands eagerly help him shoulder the burden, and ease the young man into his new en- vironment. The freshman year is probably the most radically different, and at the same time the most important year of a college student ' s life. He learns the funda- mental concepts of his fraternity, what he is expected to do; and what is most important, he learns how to get along with people of varied intere sts. He breaks first ground for a cultural life, gradually digging deeper with the years. He learns to associate easily with the opposite sex, to be the master of etiquette and the social graces, to appreciate good books, good music, and fine art. As the years pass, his outlook broadens until it encompasses a great variety of fields and makes him the good citizen that he is expected to be. The fraternity system is at the root of this de- velopment. Far too much ill-aimed and fallacious publicity has been directed at fraternities in general by individuals totally ignorant of their fundamental principles. These individuals regard fraternities as glorified play- houses for reckless, frolicsome college men, the result being that the mere mention of a fraternity gives rise to sneers and vitriolic comment from the more gulli- ble portion of the populace. Call it propaganda if you will, but I feel that it is high time some positive words were placed in print for the promulgation of a defense program for the system. school needs fraternities Almost every week-end of the year fraternities pro- vide invaluable assistance to their school. When band festivities, debate tournaments, high school athletic contest, or any of several conventions occur, it is the Waiter jobs are given those who are forced to earn part of their way. Greeks are not all rich men ' s sons. Poor boys believe the bene- fits are worth the effort. Although his duties require little time or effort, the fresh- man learns the meaning of dis- cipline. If he was spoiled at home, he becomes unspoiled at college. Through supervised study under adequate conditions freshmen are guided through the high school-college transitional period with no academic loss. Fraternities offer suitable housing facilities better than can be secured in rooming houses, although nothing is palatial. Fraternity men learn neatness in dress. Parties give practice in putting on formal wear although a lost collar button always gives trouble. In intra- murals close interfraternity rivalry is of great value in developing a united group front. The results of group cooperation can be seen in every fraternity ' s trophy case. Men learn to work for something besides individual glory. invariable procedure of the administration to turn to fraternities for housing accommodations. And the fraternities equally as invariably comply with such requests. This cooperation not only makes such activi- ties possible, but gives the University an opportunity to show its wares to many people. And great profits are reaped through increased enrollment. Continuing the same trend of thought, the fra- ternity rush week is more than a dissemination of new students to various houses it is in reality a free service to the University to boost enrollment. Many high school students who would not otherwise be interested in attending this school are invited up for week-ends by organized houses and gradually con- vinced that Kansas is the school for them. Without the urging and exhortations of the fraternities, these men, later valuable to our school, might well have deposited their belongings elsewhere. yraili ' art ' higher In rebuttal to the accusation that fraternities tend to discourage scholarship and veer toward high jinks, records for the past four years can be proudly dis- played. In each of these years the fraternity grade average has exceeded that of non-fraternity men, thus proving conclusively that fraternities do give serious attention to the intellectual side of college life. In every fraternity, men are eager to give assistance to others, and explain intricate subjects to the less apt. There exists a keen competition between houses in Housemothers serve as substitute mothers during a boy ' s college career, even to the extent of sewing on buttons. This picture increased in value so much that the Associated Press bought it after the chief character, Mrs. F. B. Kincaid, Sigma Ep housemother, announced her engagement to Dr. James Naismith, the inventor of basketball. Because of no gambling rule;, men learn to play bridge instead of poker. This shot was unposed, although most bridge games are in more conventional surroundings. the matter of scholarship, each essaying to outdo the other. It is because of this that they can take justifiable pride in the scholastic achievements. This spirit of competition is predominant in other fields as well, being especially noteworthy in intra- mural athletics and other extra-curricular activities. The individuals within an organization are materially benefitted personally by such rivalry, inasmuch as they are spurred on to shoulder their share of the responsibility. Intramurals offer development of the body, activities offer development of character and leadership. And so the man becomes well rounded. Were any disinterested person to peruse the princi- ples and obligations upon which any fraternity is founded, he could not help but be converted to the cause. These basic foundations of a fraternity are of the highest type; and although perhaps too idealistic, at the same time offer a goal to which every organi- zation strives with concerted effort and incentive. The very constitution of our country is no finer in its meaning, no stronger in its thought than are these backbones of the fraternity system. molds gentlemen Above all, a fraternity teaches a man to be a gentleman. The college man is at an extremely for- mative stage in life, about to develop habits and ways of living that will remain with him permanently. If he puts the wrong foot forward, his whole life may well be ruined. Fraternities not only tend to, but actually avert such disaster. With approximately fifty men living in a house, ready to approve or dis- approve of one ' s behavior, it is not a facile task to stray from the proper path. These men have in- grained within them a feeling of fellowship and camaraderie, and are desirous of presenting a united front to the Campus. Any break in this front is viewed with alarm and quickly corrected. And so it is that each man must be cognizant of the desires of others and must be sympathetic towards such desires, the happy result being that we are well disciplined in the matter of living congenially with our fellow men. And only a gentleman possesses this trait. Practically speaking, a fraternity is a mutual benefit (Continued on page 326) Fraternity concessions such as candy, pop, cleaning, laundry, greatly aid those who need it. The brothers always pitch in and help each other. House libraries and magazines offer a constant supply of good reading in comfortable sur- roundings, that is not available elsewhere. Spacious living rooms and sun rooms provide ample comfortable lounging space where gatherings to listen to the radio or phonograph or just to talk are frequent. So widespread and varied are the environments from which the men come that it is an education itself to hear their discussions. All that these pictures have been portraying adds up to one thing: Brotherhood as signified by the grip. Nil j TbirJ Rou:- Yankey. Ebling. Hamilton. Durand. Weltmer, Kane. Meek;, Watson.

Close to an all A student, this little Phi Delt is well known as an enthusiastic cheerleader, is a member of Owl Society, Dean ' s Honor Roll, and Delta Sigma Pi, and is interested in politics, athletics, and people all kinds of people. BETTY McVEY ' s position as Junior vice- president is a well-deserved reward for this vivacious Gamma Phi, who has worked long and hard on the W.S.G.A. Her pep finds an outlet in her work as a Jay Jane. It is typical of Betty that she loves to swim, dance, and play tennis. Her career ahead is not too distinct, but she is majoring in English. Betty was elected her first year on the Hill. ELEANOR CAVERT, Junior secretary hail- ing from Independence, and also a second year woman, also served well on the W.S.G.A. council. An interest in people led this popular Pi Phi to major in social sciences. However, she often turns to personal indulgence when she spends her spare time jellying, or riding horseback. ELDRETH CADWALADER is less known as a Junior dance manager than as a fullback on the football team. Only natural is it that he should be interested in sports, baseball, in which he plays the outfield or catches with equal adroitness, being a favorite. For quieter di- version, Cad turns to reading. He is in the School of Business and intends to make busi- ness his career. GEORGE ESCHBAUGH, other dance man- ager, gives vent to his aesthetic sense as a design major in the School of Fine Arts. Though engrossed in much outside work, this anti-jitterbug Pachacamac (all the male officers being of that political faith) finds a few spare moments to do sculpturing and see good movies.

THE JAY HAWKER CUM LAIDE IK RE- CEIVED WITH PRAISE. A HALO TO CRAF- t AND THE REST By Richard MacCann PROFESSOR ALLEN CRAF- TON is hereby authorized to make out a requisition to St. Peter ' s prop- manager for one medium-sized but very shiny halo. It is assumed that this will be worn on special occasions, or merely put under glass, as he prefers. But certainly he should have some kind of a re- ward for providing the University with four especially memorable nights of exhilarating entertain- ment unanimously enjoyed. The writing and direction of a humorous musico-historical revue is not, shall we say, what it ' s cracked up to be. (There really hasn ' t been any authoritative cracking up of the subject recently; indeed, there are few figures avail- The Hon. A. Crafton, however, was treading on firm ground when he essayed to write Cum Laude. This is the sort of thing he can do best. He has practically swept the shelf clean of dramatic tricks and boldly used them, one by one, to suit his own purposes. He can go right on using the tricks, as far as we ' re concerned, if he can combine with them so much of his own vigor and humor as Cum Laude displays. Chief among the director ' s indis- pensable helpers were Don Dixon, who aided him in fabricating the countless backdrops, and Mrs. Crafton, who personally made most of the costumes. The lady who could construct that fabulous Curtis Alloway and Pattye Wadley charmed wich their bicycle built for two scene. But Laffc-r and Crafton brought down the house with inter- national love. able even for pre-depression years. ) But it is unquestionably true that the thing does require steady nerves. And for such a delicate project to crack up, in the most literal sense, would not be surpris- ing at all. acre-broad farthingale thing de- serves a long round of applause, and to the co-author of that cli- matically beautiful University of the Future belongs equal recog- nition.

In summer, however, dons his overalls and rides the combines with fellow farmers to sell them insurance for his dad ' s insurance agency, of which he takes charge. His profits help put him through school. Last year graduated with a B.S. degree in finance, but continued into law. Made the Business School honor roll three times out of four and was named to Alpha Kappa Psi honorary fraternity. Since entering law has made Phi Delta Phi, legal fraternity, with equal ease.

Another pastime is politics: is the retiring treasurer of the M.S.C., and once headed a Business School party. Add note: the reason for his perpetual smile may be simply that he enjoys meeting people or it might also be because Alpha Chi alumna Dorothy Shearer is wearing his Delta Tau Delta pin. Could be! SELF-GOVERNMENT ON THIS Mill IS A SHAM. WITH IT TOMES CO1IKUP- TION: WHY NOT ELIMINATE THE POLITICS AND WITH IT THE VICES? Too much of Oread politics emanates from large houses like this Qn ad Article by Harold Addington Photos by Bert Brandt STRAINING THE midriff to contemplate it. politics on Mount Oread is like a dead clown in a choice state of decomposition. And needs either an embalmer and a decent, inexpensive burial or a combined vivisectionist-makeup artist to reassemble the farce. Outside of serving as excellent training for future ward heelers, the annual hocus pocus of pointing and viewing with respective pride and alarm, pumping up hopes, hunting ideals, petty platforms, and watery speeches descends into a comic inferno of bosh, blather, and buncombe. Why? At present, the political divisions are illogical. Not only are the girls forbidden to play on the boys ' side of the Hill ' s political playground, and vice versa, but barbs and Greeks, or independents and fraternity men if you prefer to be polite, are mixed indiscrim- inately. If the hash of last week ' s left-overs was stirred by an electric salad mixer, the final con- Editor ' s Note: The Jayhawker wishes to establish this extraordinary, but simple thesis: student politics on the Hill are rotten and illogical. The existence of a student council is the cause of politics which perniciously permeate other Hill activi- ties into which they should never enter. Therefore, the only way to clean up the mess is to abolish the cause that is, abolish the M.S.C. Perhaps the reading of this article, written before the disgraceful and muckerish events that characterized the election transpired, will make you a believer. glomeration could be no less puzzling. Greeks who admit such close allegiance with barbs, especially independent major domos, no doubt feel akin to the unmarried couple who publicly announce their first born. If the prestige factor of winning offices, of having a brother on the M.S.C., of belong- ing to the party in power were negligible, and every fraternity were guaranteed twenty upright, good and true neophytes each year, their political interest would sorrowfully wane. At least the man who votes would know that the candidate ' s name was on the ballot more because of an individual interest in personal achievement than in gaining prestige and a selling point for his lodge. and not enough from more humble houses like this.

But the torpid barb, who be- lieves this balance of power is a blank check for political plums, de- serves a rude shaking from his apathy. On closer scrutiny, he will find the check is written for a de- cidedly smaller amount. Each po- litical organization, being a fra- ternity party, offers the bare mini- mum of inducements that will swing the necessary unaffilliated votes. Wallowing in platitudes, planks of party platforms that could pos- sibly attract independents ' votes: proposed uniform wage scales; financial backing of what is now the I.S.A.; encouragement of un- affilliated students to participate in intramurals; a short-time, small fund lending agency; and to create additional jobs on the Hill.

But the joker spoils many a poker game. In Oread ' s political poker, it is more the absence of the odd card in the body of a vigorous, energetic leader that has caused the failure of the student-deck to be cut advantageously.

Even the threat of a boycott would clean up rest- aurants and rooming houses, or establish a really co-operative book store. And if a thousand K.U. students began asking throughout the state and of the legislature if Corbin hall piles up $40,000 in six- years, why aren ' t more dormitories built? something besides investi- gations would result. The hoots of a derogator fire the hearts of party workers about as much as an iceberg cheers the captain of a North Atlantic liner.

In addition to helping men students solve their problems and seeing that activities and organizations run smoothly, he carries on analytical work for the State Food Laboratory and teaches a class in food analysis. Mr. Werner came to the University by a rather round-about way. From his original home in Chester, England, he first went to British Columbia for his health. From there he went to Philadelphia and be- came interested in industrial chemical work. He first learned of Kansas when sent to Kansas City on business. His interests turned to teaching, and in 1920 he was appointed associate professor of chemistry here. A few years later he received his Master of Arts de- gree. As an undergraduate he studied at the Uni- versity of Liverpool, England, and the Physikalisher Verein in Frankfort, Germany. In 1929 the position of adviser to men was given to him. As chairman of the Memorial Union Operating Committee he keeps spare moments filled. A fisherman of no little repute, Mr. Werner, spends nearly every summer in Minnesota participating in his favorite pastime. He likes to make fishing flies, and recently one of his products, The Flat Foot Floogie, lured a four pound bass to the hook. In British Columbia he shot at some bear and deer, and here in Kansas he has continued his liking for hunting by indulging, usually in vain, in duck hunting. His ambition for a summer vacation is to float down the Sewanee River in a canoe with a small tent and movie camera. 282 THE JAY HAWK KR OKLAHOMA AND MISSOURI HAVE TOP PERI H IN BIU SIX BASKETBALL, BUT KANSAS SHOWS WELL AS USUAL By William Fitzgerald FEATURING THIS year ' s Big Six basketball race, was the absence of Dr. F. C. Allen ' s Kansas Jay- hawkers from the top rung. The Hawks weren ' t counted out until the last game, however, when Mis- souri took advantage of everything in sight to cop a 55-30 walk-away. The first seven conference games (discussed in last Jayhaii ' ker) saw Kansas get- ting off to a poor start, and then making a grand comeback to stay in the title picture. There was no let down in the next two en- counters as Iowa State and Okla- homa were beaten soundly. The Oklahoma game shoved the Hawks into a first place tie with Missouri at 6 won and 3 lost. The Sooners were just a jump be- hind with 5 won and 3 lost. Against Iowa State, Doctor Allen proved the power in numbers theory. Nicholas, towering Cyclone center, rang up 15 points with another of the league ' s leading scorers, Bob Har- ris, counting 10. Harris ' heavy scoring might be explained by the fact that he shot every time he got his hands on the ball. These two State scorers were more than offset by the work of Don Ebling who flipped in 13, Miller 12, Engleman 6, and Bob Allen 8. The final score was Kansas 46, Iowa State 37. Hophomorv t-omvit through Oklahoma came to Lawrence with one of the conference ' s classiest teams under the tutelage of CAPTAIN LYMAN CORLIS Bruce Drake, first year coach and former Sooner star. The Sooners were resting in first place and, led by Jimmy McNatt, who set a Big Six scoring mark of 29 the game before, the southerners jumped into an early lead. However, Phog Allen had an ace in the hole and it gave the full house a royal flush. Howard Engleman, sophomore flash, was the ace and the blond Ark Citian rang up 27 points to break the former Kansas mark of 26 set by Doctor Allen himself. Bruce Voran also came into his own against the Sooners, and Ralph Miller and Captain Lyman Cod is helped keep the hoop hot as Kansas crashed through with a 59-40 victory. A record crowd of more than 5,000 watched the game. The less said about Kansas in the Missouri game the wiser. The inspired Tigers took the lead in the early minutes and handed an Allen team its worst drubbing in years if not in history. But Oklahoma ' s Boy Scats were not ready to be counted out and with the pressure on, the Sooners won their last two games to tie Missouri for first place. Kansas finished third with Iowa State, Nebraska, and K-State following in that order. flyman corfirt outstanding Outstanding Jayhawker of the season was un- doubtedly Lyman Corlis, senior guard. Corlis, play- ing his first year as a regular was a consistent scorer and efficient guard, and captained the team in every MAY 939 283 game. He was also named hon- orary captain for the season and played with the Cut Rate Grocers from Wichita in the National A. A. U. tournament at Denver. Two former Kansans, Ray Ebling and Dick Wells, were selected on the all-tournament team, and Fred Pralle, last year ' s captain, was named on the second team. Corlis was named on every all- conference team. Other all-stars, nearly all unanimous choices were Jimmy McNatt, Oklahoma, and Gordon Nicholas, Iowa State, for- wards; Homer Wesche, K-State, center; and John Lobsiger, guard. Other Kansans given all star con- sideration were Ralph Miller, Howard Engelman, and Bob Allen, all sophomores. Oklahoma carried the Big Six standard through the Fifth District tournament beating Oklahoma A. M., Missouri Val- ley kingpins, 30-21. The Sooners weren ' t so successful in the West- ern Regional tourney however. After bumping Utah State 50-39, they dropped the title tilt to the (Continued on page 324) Third Rou:- Lester Kappelman, Bob Allen, Howard Engleman, Gus Nees. Second Rou: Max Replogle, Jack Sands.

DEFT STRING-PULLING A PACHACAMAC COUNCIL HAS ITS TROUBLES By John Thomas A SAFE Pachacamac majority ' s consistently lording it over a large and vociferous P.S.G.L. minority featured meetings of the Men ' s Student Council this year. Although the Pachacamacs scored a smashing victory last spring, electing Blaine Grimes president by the largest majority in eleven years, proportional repre- sentation voting gave the P.S.G.L. ' s a strong council roster, just as p.r. saved the Pachacamacs in the re- cent election. But the Rising Sun- ners always mustered their eleven men and outvoted the opposition ' s nine on controversial issues so that Prexy Grimes never had to vote. Taking careful aim, which proved to be quite accurate, at a comeback this year, the P.S.G.L. forces always raised protesting voices in an effort to make political capital for the spring campaign. Since the party possessed an elo- quent array of protestants, the luxurious Pine Room never took on its Ladies ' Aid Society aspects of the preceding year. But as far as actual results, Presi- dent Blaine Eagle Grimes kept things well in hand, letting the boys have their fun, but holding the trumps when voting time came. The Eagle was easily the star of the show, making a great contrast to the reserve of last year ' s Don Voor- hees. Mixing both the role of presi- dent and that of party boss, he was more like the greats of yesteryear the violin-playing John Milton Phillips and the flamboyant red- head Lyman Field. Not at all the silver tongued orator, Grimes was the man of action. However a body of nineteen men must necessarily boast more than one gleaming satellite, and this year ' s council was no ex- ception. C. H. Mullen showed all the finesse of an undeclared office seeker all year before announcing his later-to-be-successful candidacy for president. H-chy was a tire- less worker, especially on the jobs that did him the most good, a practice not at all reprehensible as somebody had to do them and do them well. And when it came to casting votes, his record was flaw- less from a political standpoint as he had his weather eye on the more- important spring vote. As an un- intentional humorist, he drew loud guffaws for making such firm de- mands that 1 4th Street be cindered MAY 1 9 3 9 285 on icy days after he had taken a fall. Stolid Clifford Willis, council secretary, had all the intellectual power of an engineer coupled with an engineer ' s literary inefficiency. Cuddles kept all concerned laughing with his valiant struggles to keep up his minutes. The brotherly-love pair was Andy Hibbard and Bob Marietta. The latter, about as sharp and caus- tic a minorityite as ever was, con- tinually used his abilities. And Lo- quacious Andy could not resist answering. Never did the boys quite come to blows, so after all, no harm was done. Councilman-at-large Jim Haug- hey was the nine old men rolled into one. On the council by virtue of being the defeated presidential candidate, he became the P.S.G.L. strategist. His bible was the con- stitution, and he believed in quot- ing it only to have all his ob- jections overruled. Bill Farmer and Bill House ably aided fellow barrister Haughey in keeping the general rumpus at a constant level. In sharp contrast to the profes- V ice-President LESTER KAPPELMAN Secretary CLIFFORD WILLIS Treasurer HARRY WILES sional politicians were the suave socialites Jim Harris and Fred Lit- tooy. Both on the council purely because of fraternity policy (rush- ing prestige to be more clear ) , they coolly set apart from the rough and tumble. Harris became famous for his inevitable adjournment motions. Littooy gloried in irking the more enthusiastic with his cool stand-offishness. With its hands silently and in- visibly but securely tied by the ad- ministration, the council can do nothing radical. But this year ' s group probably exceeded the aver- age in accomplishment. First on the list was a change in representation. The engineering district was awarded one more re- presentative as was the district in which the School of Business is lo- cated. The latter did not warrant the long-hoped-for district of its own because of a drop in enroll- ment. Over vigorous P.S.G.L. protests, $700 was appropriated to the Engineering Exposition in the next two years. One hundred dollars was again granted Wilbur Leon- ard ' s housing inspection commit- tee. Other appropriations bringing the total for the year to $1300 were made. Notable is the fact that this year ' s council, despite increased re- quests and the aid it gave for the band ' s Washington trip, operated $200 ' s worth more efficiently than did the preceding one.

B Some people have the darnedest faculty for saying the right thing at the wrong time. For instance out of a clear blue sky in Home Decoration class, Ruth Hudson, Theta, remarked innocently: These double- deck beds are just like those in the dorms in the Sigma Chi house. There ' s nothing like sheer neighborliness and stuff. Jim Morris must have quite a bit of control over the actions of Ann Cota, Kappa freshman. When he asked her to cut her carefully cherished 2- inch fingernails, she did . . . just for Jim. B If Jack Stone, Sigma Nu pledge, would worry more about his books and less about women he might get somewhere with both. His main problem is that he can ' t find his ideal woman. His standard is no drinking, moderate smoking, congeniality, fun- girl, and of course, beauty. They just don ' t come that way, says Jack. Bob Patterson also has a little trouble along the female lines ... he is president of the Fiji lead balloon club at present because, accord- ing to Bob: All girls have the wrong attitude. It is rumored that Jean McFarland of the Pi Phi McFarlands had a rough session on a recent Sigma Chi steak fry . . . your correspondent cannot give a play by play description of the struggle, but the curious may obtain further information by calling Bob Sutherland at 721.

Eds and Co-eds is the Board of Regents composed of nine men who pull the jurisdictional strings of the University. To add to student confusion, the situation has been further complicated by the passing of a legislative act re- organizing the Board and demanding that new ap- pointments be made by Governor Payne Ratner prior to May 26. The work of ex-Governor Huxman when he ap- pointed Leslie Wallace of Larned, Maurice Breiden- thal of Kansas City, Kansas, Dr. L. J. Beyer of Lyons, Clarence Nevins of Dodge City, and Howard Payne of Olathe last fall must be undone, although some of the present group may be retained. The act requires that not more than five members of the Board shall be of the same political party and that nine appointments shall be made three for one year expiring Dec. 31, 1939; two for two years ex- piring Dec. 31, 1940; and three for three years ex- piring Dec. 31, 1941. Contrary to common student belief, the function of the present Board as well as that of the Board-to-be is not merely to conduct Red investigations. Thank- lessly, with little advantage of favorable publicity, they must manage the University, endeavor to stretch frugal state appropriations to meet Hill needs, make executive appointments, and oversee four other state schools, and the Kansas institutions for the deaf and dumb, the blind, and the colored. By Betty Coulson Present chairman of the Board, Ralph T. O ' Neil, Topeka lawyer, won college athletic honors at Baker, as a captain was cited for gallantry in World War action, and was one year National Commander of the American Legion. Former member of the Board from 1931 to 1935, Leslie Wallace was pri- vate secretary to Governor Harry Woodring and to Governor Walter Huxman. Three years Sunday editor of the Kansas City Star, he also is noted for his editorship of the Larned Tiller and Toiler and his reporting for the Topeka Daily Capital. Civic leader in Kansas City, Kansas, where he is president of the Security National Bank is Maurice Breidenthal, ' 10. In connection with the University he has been a member of the Athletic Board and vice-president of the Me- morial Corporation. Finally settling down to managing an automobile agency in Garden City, Lester McCoy received his degree from the Wichita Business College and his general education from various Kansas Schools, and training at the World War front. First K. U. Medical School graduate to serve on the Board is Dr. L. J. Beyer, m ' 10. President of his class here, he carried his executive ability with him to become president of the Rice County Medical Society two times. Instrumental in securing Deane Ma- lott as K. U. ' s new Chancellor, Dr. H. L. Snyder bears the distinction of being Winfield ' s first mayor under the city manager form of government. His fame extends all over the United States as the surgeon-head of a Winfield clinic. Mayor of Colby twice, World War service, and action as attorney of Gove County, is the record of E. F. Beckner serving his second year on the Board. Clarence Nevins, first Kansas State alumnus to serve a term as Regent is, in addition, state WPA director. Con- sistent in business, he has owned a re- tail hardware store in Dodge City since 1908. Youngest of the Regent Board mem- bers, Howard Payne, Olathe lawyer, graduated from the School of Law in 1926. Today he likes and dabbles in politics, having served as Johnson County Attorney and as a nominee for Congressional representative and for state attorney general. MAY 1939 293 CdJU e, TWICE PRESIDENT AND DOER PERT LITTLE president of the YWCA is Eddie Parks, a junior recently elected to her second term of office, whose interests extend from entomology to Setse Pooc, and from Vancouver to the Ozarks. In summer goes to Estes Park with the co-op, and this year returned with a regional co-chairmanship of their Economics and Labor com- mission. Her executiveship has likewise placed her on: the Sociology Club committee; Phi Chi Delta, Presby- terian so rority, governing board; Westminster Forum cabinet; and even the Math Club committee before she forsook mathematics for a major in sociology. Plans about the future are for further study in sociology or continuation of her work in the YWCA. But then, steady-date Paul Moritz might take a hand in Destiny one never knows. Eddie testifies that the greatest feat of her career was a hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and up again happened on a trip to the Northwest Coast last summer, and took 16 hours to do it. An enthusiast of the out-of-doors, she hopes to return to Estes this sum- mer as a camp assistant. With her dad, a Kansas City Board of Tradesman, takes week-ends off for jaunts into the Ozarks. Thinks the Gasconade River looks as pretty as the name sounds and delights in telling her Corbin Hall roomies about the time she got hung up on a barbed hook when after a finny catch.

SPRING IS HERE, undoubt- edly, but before the fever catches us, we ' d better make note of the events that keep the wheel spin- ning, and there are many. February 10, everyone was set- tled into the routine of second semester studies, and everything was back in line. The I.S.A. held an open house in the lounge of the Union building early in the eve- ning, the start of a series of dances especially for the independent stu- dents. Later in the evening, the Negro students took over the Union building for their annual Varsity. The same evening, Ricker Hall held their winter formal at the Hall, and Pi Kappa Alpha frater- nity held their annual Valentine Pet. ' te anj redheaded Julie Henry was elected basket ball queen. The Sig Alph ' s opened (he spring season with a skirt-and-sweater deal and Kansas City band. octa party at the house while Louie Kuhn played the music. It was a gala affair with large valentines aplenty for every sorority on the Hill. February 11, Kappa Sigma and Clyde Smith ' s music gave their an- nual Black and White formal. It was a dinner-dance, and the house was decorated in the traditional black and white, ceiling covered with icicles, stars, hearts, and musi- cal notes. In the Union ballroom the rest of the socialites jammed in for the first all-school varsity of the semester. February 17, the I.S.A. held their second dance to nationally known bands via the phonograph, and all had fun in the Union (Continued on page 318) Probably most intriguing party of the year was the Sigma Chi sarong affair.

And in it the girls of Pi Beta Phi won their fourth straight title in a walk-a-way. Two qualifying preliminary meets were held, one of which was won by the Theta ' s, because of the disqualification of the Kappa ' s. The second was easily taken by the Pi Phi ' s. In the finals no one could touch the Pi Phi ' s as they easily out- distanced the field in almost every- thing. Starring for them as blue ribbon swimmers were Virginia Anderson, Mary Lewis, Delos Woods, and Mary Ann Edgerton. Among them they won first place in every event which included breast stroke and crawl for form, diving, 2-length side stroke, 2- length backstroke, 2-length and 50 yds. breast stroke, 2-length and 50 yds. free style, and relay.

Winning of the title was a fitting climax for Floyd Kelly ' s Ghosts as they topped off an undefeated season. To reach the finals, the Kappa Sig ' s barely edged out the Alpha Kappa Psi ' s, undefeated winners of Division III. The Ghosts had their closest scare of the year in their one-point semifinal victory over the Delta Chi ' s, winners of the so- cial fraternity division.

Bert Brandt was behind the camera. SCIENTISTS have shown, among other things, that a wheel if it is round and its bearings well- oiled will roll down hill. But if you happen to be of that skeptical group which doubts even con- clusive scientific evidence, perhaps the case of K. U. ' s unaffiliated stu- dents will convince you. The wheel in this instance was just like any other wheel, except that some choose to call it a social wheel. For years the unaffiliated students pushed and tugged on the wheel. They oiled it and they aimed it down hill. But it wouldn ' t budge. About a year and a half ago, the students discovered that some of their number were push- ing while others were pulling. They found out they had been us- ing glue for grease. And what had appeared to be a gentle downhill path turned out to be a steep in- cline. So it was decided an organi- zation was needed to see that all the students pushed in the same di- rection; that officers who could pro- vide plenty of grease were neces- sary; and that a program was es- sential to level off the uphill road. It fell to Susan Maloney, most interested of the few students who believed the wheel could be made to run, to foster the organization, supply the official grease, and in- stitute the original program. Largely as the result of her efforts, the social wheel of Mount Oread ' s unaffiliated hundreds today is mov- ing along with ever-increasing sureness and acceleration. The story of how this all came about may appear so impossible as to drive you back to science, but it is no less spectacular for all its Horatio Alger aspects. During the fall of 1937, a small group of students, many of whom attended the same church, began holding informal parties in their own homes on week-end nights. It was their desire to persuade the church to organize a social group with their own little band as a nucleus. When this was found to be impossible, the students looked in other directions for support for their idea. It was then that they learned an organization had been started at Kansas State College with a program designed to extend social opportunities for students who were not members of sorori- ties and fraternities.

Miss Meguiar approved the pro- posed independent organization and offered her cooperation. Simi- lar support was gained from Men ' s Student Adviser Henry Werner. On the night of Nov. 9, 1937, the group called together all students interested in their idea. The Daily Kansan account of this first session follows: A meeting was held last night of students interested in the formation of a social or- ganization for independent students. The purposes of the organization, which has not yet been fully organized, are to give the independent students social contacts and an oppor- tunity to attend social func- tions along the lines of those given by the o r ga n i z e d houses. ... Susan Maloney was chosen tem- porary chairman of the group at that preliminary meeting, and at a second session a week later. Leon Prexy Fockele wore worried looks that not even his harrassed cohorts could equal for days be- fore the convention. IIO I. COIVENTI01V But when things began to run off so smoothly as did this luncheon, he began to smile, al- though complete relaxation did not come until completion of the successful convention. Reynolds was named to a similar executive post representing the men. One of the first functions of the embryo-organization, even be- fore permanent executive plans had been definitely completed was to sponsor an hour dance in the Memorial Union lounge. About three hundred men and women at- tended the affair and heard the an- nouncement of a meeting at which executive organization would be completed. Originally conceived on the idea that men and women students should be given joint represent- atives in executive positions, the first slate of officers named a few days later had Maloney and Rey- nolds as co-presidents and included co-vice-presidents, co- secretaries and co-treasurers. The group laid plans to enter a float in the Home- coming parade and nominated Lor- raine Long to represent them in the contest for Homecoming Queen. Throughout the waning weeks of the first semester in 1937-38, the youthful organization which had taken the name Independe nt Student Union sponsored a series of hour dances.

' ER, JOURNALIST TO DESCRIBE it in his own terms, Lou Fockele has been interested in journalism ever since he was high enough to see over a composing stone. Used to work in his dad ' s newspaper shop in LeRoy and that may be one reason why he became such a resourceful managing editor of the Daily Kansan last fall. An advertising major, Lou would like to continue his studies to get an M.A. in marketing, but hopes to get a job on a metropolitan paper sooner or later. Vows that after experience in the big time he ' ll return to small town personal journalism preferably at the head of a Back to Kansas movement. Most memorable occasion came this summer past when he and Josephine, his round-about, banged- about Model T, rattled through Mexico with Shinster Robertson. They purposely avoided highways and resort places in order to see what the heart of the country was like. Coyly admits he tried to charm the senoritas with his off-key bass the voice which has merited him membership in the glee club for four years. At home in LeRoy finds most sport in hunting, with both gun and camera. At school takes most interest in his I.S.A. presidency, and believes the recent national convention which he was foremost in preparing is his most worthwhile undertaking at the University. Great was the contrast between Bill Shipley ' s splendid blustering and the impressive, pin- drop silence that reigned during Gordon Brigham ' s prayer. THE SEASON ' S FINAL FINDS DEAD PEOPLE GIVING A LIVE PLAY By Richard MacCann THE KANSAS Players ' final presentation of the year turned out to be a sincere and creditable per- formance of a highly provocative play. It was not an earthshaking per- formance. Why people expect such a thing is beyond this reviewer ' s comprehension. The play ' s total possibilities were not explored, but the cast managed to project across the footlights a surprising percent of Sutton Vane ' s pleasant mysti- cism and character-study. Aside from its philosophical im- plications, the action of the drama is quite simple. Seven very lively dead persons are being carried to the next plane of existence by a small ocean liner a somewhat down-to-earth conveyance, to be sure. Five of them are unaware of their status; the two lovers are half-ways that is, suicides. Mr. Prior takes the whole of the first act to find out about things; it takes the whole of the second act to convince the other four. The third act finds them at their desti- nation, where an all-knowing deputy Examiner disposes of their futures; and the lovers are finally shifted back to life in a rather unsatisfying conclusion. The plot lies solely in the situ- ation. But that situation -the con- cept of a gentle, natural type of progressive state beyond the grave is a highly interesting one and a welcome addition to the college student ' s pitifully limited fund of theological ideas. And Sutton Vane ' s consummate skill in drama- tization has made the play itself an entertaining whole: laughs appear at happy junctures, the characters are keenly real. It is no wonder that the 1924 play has been suc- cesssfully revived in New York this year. As for criticism of the March 27-30 production and ranking of individual actors well, it is a task to shrink from. Each character part is difficult enough to challenge the most experienced professional, and a full gallery of brilliant portrayals is too much to ask from a group of amateur players. The outstanding work, of course, was Mrs. Crafton ' s. Too much praise could hardly be expended on the finesse of her performance. Her Mrs. Midget was a miracle of tired earnestness, showing heights of fire and depths of despair a beautifully credible human being. Mr. Calderwood, too, contributed a deftly-handled character as Scrubby the steward. It ' s not that the other actors were bad not at all. They just weren ' t on the same plane with Mrs. Craf- ton. Elmer McCarty, though his opening lines seemed unnecessarily awkward, brought to bear on the part of the Examiner just the right amount of affable impressiveness.

PRODUCTIONS Write-ups by Gordon Brigham Jovial, versatile Allen Crafton, head of the de- partment of speech and dramatic art, can well lay claim to being one of the most interesting personali- ties on the Campus. Born in Illinois, he spent the first twenty years of his life in that state, but this doesn ' t mean that Prof, as students like to call him, hasn ' t had his share of traveling. Quite to the contrary. From 1911 to 1923, he estimates that he wandered about some sixteen states and two foreign countries. His principle undergraduate achievements were honors in philosophy and the breaking of two track records. Of unlimited versatility, he has taught in Vermont, been a streetcar conductor, and preached in Illinois, as well as having hummed his way over several states. Professor Crafton spent two years in the famous Workshop 47 at Harvard, receiving his M.A. from there in 1914. With Mark Reed, author of the cur- ( Continued on Page 322) Jessica Crafton, wife of Professor Crafton, has led a life equally as versatile as her husband ' s. Born in Iowa, she, too, has lived in many states Cali- fornia, Wisconsin, Arizona, Vermont and for short periods in some fourteen others. Her advanced edu- cation was obtained at the University of Minnesota and Columbia School of Oratory and Drama. Notable is the fact that she has taught in or at- tended every type school but a boys ' school and theological seminary, and taught grade from kinder- garten to university. At Carthage College in Illinois she even taught speech to the president of the college. On the dramatic side, Mrs. Crafton played in Walter Hampden ' s company in 1918 and also with several stock companies at various times. During the war, she wrote publicity for Stage Women ' s War Relief, which set up a theatre in the debarkation hos- pital and furnished each returning soldier with his (Continued on Page 323) MAY 1939 Yearly Jayhawkers throng to Fraser Theater, yearly they come away singing the praises of the Kansas Players.

But when they stop to con- sider the difficulty of the parts and the short time for rehearsal, they realize that it is fortunate that they are filled by actors of professional ability.

Rolla Nuckles reached directorial heights never excelled in all hamdom with his K-Club hit, The Drunk- ard. Believing you want to know something about these people, we present them. Associate Professor of Dramatics Robert Calder- wood was born in Ohio. At nearby Oxford he at- tended Miami University, being a Sigma Chi. So outstanding was his undergraduate work that he was invited to join the faculty, and for seven years taught English and speech. Next came another seven year teaching term, this time at Carlton College, North- field, Minnesota. Summers he lectured at Ohio State University, finally landing at Lawrence in 1926. Few know or would ever guess that Bob, as his students call him, managed to study medicine simul- taneously with his teaching and lacked only one hour of becoming an M.D. (Continued on Page 323) Youngest member of the dramatics department is Rolla Nuckles. Born a Missourian, he attended junior college in Kansas City before leaving school to take to the road with a stock company. After a spell at that, he became a barker for a carnival touring Nebraska. His first stop for any length of time was K.U., from which he was graduated in 1933. Dur- ing his attendance here he was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and quite active in dramatics. For three years after graduation he covered a great deal of territory, laying a foundation for his later teaching of speech art. For a while he was with Eva LeGallienne ' s com- ( Continued on Page 323) 302 THE JAYHAWKER Ute, M. .G. JOHN RANDOLPH TYE SCATHINGLY AND SKILLFULLY ARRAIGNS STUDENT GOVERNMENT ON THE HILL By John Randolph Tyc ONE MORNING this winter I read in the University Daily Kansan that the German exchange scholar would attend that night ' s weekly session of the Men ' s Student Council to view at first hand the workings of student government. All that day I thought of that small item in the Kansan. I wondered what this young student from a foreign land would think of democracy when he saw it at first hand. And I had fears that what he might see would not conform with what he had been told since his arrival. For I am a senior and have watched the Men ' s Student Council at work and at play for four years. I thought of the beautiful, pannelled Pine Room, with the President at the head and the council mem- bers ranged along the council table. In my mind I saw the Political Reporter of the Kansan, clutching a pencil in one hand, hoping against hope that some- thing worthwhile might take place for a change. And for the first time in my life I was ashamed of student government as practiced on this Campus. Ashamed that such a condition had to be pawned oft to a student from a totalitarian state as democracy. My misgivings were correct for the next morning I read that the entire session had been devoted to squabbles over minor issues, to horse-play, to heming on this subject and hawing on that much ado about nothing at all. The council meeting compared to genuine student government as a presentation of The Drunkard with a K-club cast does to a Noel Coward play starring the Lunts. i-lf -iiiui on no higher plane Then the next two months I witnessed the annual election campaign for seats on this same council. I saw each party resorting to every device to line up votes. I heard tales of slush funds, I watched party bickering, and I dodged the mud that was slung. I wondered what it all had to do with student govern- ment. I went to the polls election day and watched Freshmen being herded to the polls by both parties. That might have been excused. But when I saw Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors, being herded in the same way wearing their party tags as if they were Phi Beta Kappa keys I asked myself what it all had to do with student government. I went up to watch the ballots being counted. The front door was harder to enter than a Papal conclave; the back door was open. I saw distrust and suspicion on every side. I saw 67 ballots turn up in the School of Pharmacy with only 54 listed voters. I noticed the apathy with which members of both parties viewed the matter. I was told it happened every year. And I wondered why they called it student government. campaign prnmiHPH equal bum-inn ln I heard a leader of the party in power say that his party had enacted every campaign measure promised last year. He enumerated the measures for my satis- faction. Not one had any bearing to the average student. MAY 939 303 A leader of the victorious party promised his party would enact every plank in the platform. I got out the platform and read it carefully. Not one of them had any direct bearing to the average student. When the votes were counted, I saw the School of Fine Arts, the School of Pharmacy, and the School of Education with no representatives on the council. I saw a council split evenly with the balance of power in the President ' s hand. I heard one party threatening to make it hot for the new President, to put him on the spot, to tie his hands ten minutes after the re- sults were known. Then I knew that this was student government. And that I for one had had enough. so ii-lnii and why? So what, you say. Well, why? Why continue the burlesque. Why continue to play farce? Why attempt to remedy the situation with amendments or pledges which mean nothing? Why not do away with the entire M.S.C. and teach political government as a theory and not as an ex- periment. For obviously, at college age, students are unfit to conduct student government as they do not even appreciate its value. remedies A remedy? All right, here ' s one! Let the faculty of each school appoint the representatives to serve on a council which will meet with members of the faculty. Let the student members be selected from among those who have earned the honor. Perhaps in this way something worthwhile might be accomp- lished a co-operative book-store, the badly needed dormitories for men, suitable housing for independent students. The bickering will continue, you think? I doubt it. The faculty at least values its time. Failing this, why not reorganize the Hill voters into Young Democratic and Young Republican Clubs? Let the campaign be fought on straight po- litical issues. Be the issue the packing of a supreme court or the need for a new sales tax, it would at least transcend a campaign based on who promises the most to the I.S.A. or whether Fourteenth Street should be paved with cinders on snowy days. ii the communists a chance For those who chaff at party lines there might be a Young Socialist Club. Or even a Young Communist Club (Oh, monstrous thought to harbor such a thought) for the protestors. And let the women stu- dents join with the men in the elections; I am not aware that co-education extends into state and national campaigns. In an after-election talk to a group of politicians, Dean Henry Werner intimated that the political situation on the Hill in its present set-up is capable of breeding nothing but ward-heelers. I would go a step further and say that in its present state it breeds something far worse a distrust not only of student government but of the entire theory of democracy. speaking shades The shadows lengthen. The room grows dark. Before me I see two shades. They are arguing and the voices are alternately harsh and pleading. One of them is the shade of the average student. Its voice is pleading. It says: If you continue this present farce, if you insist on playing this cruel satire, you will wreck the hopes of all who believe in student government. But the voice of the other shade drowns out the pleader. The voice is loud, boisterous, and defiant. It is a voice which will be heard time and time again whether in Maple Center or Chicago the voice of the two-by-four political boss. What of it? it growls softly (for after all it is only a shade,) What if our tactics do wreck student government? At least we ' ll control the wreck. 11 l A - - Not even when the first balmy breezes sweep Mount Oread do girls ordinarily lock arms and go bouncing over hilltops like this.

WHITE I It ll SIIA4K By Grant Hamilton WHEN SHOWING visitors around our Campus, I have always pointed rather apologetically to the yellow frame structure com- monly referred to as the Shack and mumbled, and that ' s our medical school. It was a kind of academic inferiority complex that I felt for the school as a whole until my visit a short time ago to the University of Kansas Hospitals in Kansas City. Before this, I had heard vaguely of some such insti- tution that was purported to have some connection with the Uni- versity, but the whole thing was just a little obscure to me. The other day, however, I saw it all with my own eyes. Escorted by smiling Dr. Harry R. Wahl, Dean of the School of Medicine, I walked the miles of corridors of Bell Memorial Hospital. 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 omninous odor of strange medicines in the treating rooms and the cherry tang of fresh paint in the children ' s wing. And I glimpsed the scores of dirty, bewildered human beings waiting in long lines for medical care; infected hands and diseased eyes, a child twisted with arthritis and a woman about to have a baby. All this! I exclaimed. Is all this a part of the University? Doctor 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, doctors, 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 stu- dents of the University as are the engineers or the law boys. K. U. is simply unique in that a very im- pressive part of its campus lies forty miles away, at Fortieth and Rain- bow 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 be- came 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 German, but once they are mastered they do not rear their ugly heads again. Biology and chemistry, however, are a different matter. After three years, when the aspiring student enters the medical school at Law- rence, he begins to specialize and apply these two basic sciences. In the field of biology he concentrates on bacteriology and anatomy, in chemistry, on biochemistry. Lab- oratory, the real practice in these sciences becomes increasingly im- portant. Then, at the end of an- other three years, the student enters the final lap, the University of Kansas Hospitals. There the same basic sciences are further special- ized and further applied, but with real human beings taking the place of test-tubes and dumb animals.

MAY 1939 317 IN THE LATEST issue of Mademoiselle new college fads are given as seen by that magazine. Many have already swept our Hill, a few are yet to be inaugurated on Mount Oread. May I list several: ( 1 ) Loud plaid wool skirts, shirt tails out, over an old pair of bluejeans (rolled up this year) . (2) Cablestitch knee length socks. (3) Old saddle shoes being painted school colors. (4) Washington peruke hair- dresses. ( 5 ) Also bows tied on top of the hair with ends streaming right down the back. ( 6 ) Wooden shoes are news no longer, but the newest fad is to have your name burnt on the heavy heels. ( 7 ) Hair braided into two pig- tails and tied with big ribbons. ( 8 ) Bright feathers in the hair even with sport clothes. Showing that we are impartial to any of the ultra fashion maga- zines, we also quote the latest tips from Harper ' s Bazaar. IT ' S NEWS, says Harper ' s. ( 1 ) To wear a blouse so thin that your lingerie shows through. ( 2 ) To carry an umbrella like an Englishman, even on sunny days. ( 3 ) To carry a mustard colored bag with your white and black print. (4) To attach two false curls to your brown hair ribbon bow. ( 5 ) To stick a black beauty patch on the psychological spot. Take these hints, and you won ' t be un-stylish. A JOYOUS SPRING Gifts by Lucien Lelong Les Plumes. Three modish glass plumes filled with per- fumes.

Betty Burch must have had a good time playing Mrs. Cliveden-Banks, for the outcome was a very good type of a comic hypocrite though a little too comic, perhaps. In a play already difficult for its fan- tasy, Rollfi Nuckles and Roberta Cook wrestled with two especially insub- stantial parts called Henry and Ann, and in this critic ' s opinion, they are to be congratulated for a rather notable victory: they made the least believable part of the play, if not believable, at least human.

( Continued from Page 284 ) In order to prevent pressure groups from stampeding the council into an appropriation, a definite procedure was set up. A complete budget must be filed by the requesting organization with the finance committee twenty-four hours before a meeting. At the meeting the committee must give either a favorable or unfavorable report. Crowning achievement of the coun- cil was in making the Campus men ' s dormitory conscious. Bob McKay headed a committee that did yeoman work for this. MAY 1939 319 President Grimes on his own in- itiative evolved a plan for the financing of a dorm. Tentative approval of Kansas City capitalists has been secured and an opinion from the attorney general ' s office is now being awaited. If the plan is constitutional, the dormi- tory may be a reality in the near future. If not, consent will have to be obtained from the next legislature. Next year ' s council promises to be a stormy one. With the P.S.G.L. ' s having eleven men to the opposition ' s ten, President Mullen will have to vote on every partisan issue. And should the Pachacamacs capture both freshman re- presentatives next fall, the balance of power would fall the other way, making things even hotter. Cum Laude (Continued from Page 276) laurel over here, please. And another one for Lucile Wagner, who arranged most of the music. Next in line for the laurel-sections are Elmer McCarty and Jack Laffer. Without the redoubtable Mr. Laffer, and his perfection of histrionic detail, the International Love scene would probably have been very strained in- deed. As it was, the swift racial satire, with its highly difficult physical lingual gymnastics, was a true delight to both eye and ear. His spirited singing, heard often during the first half, was also consistently pleasing. As for Mr. McCarty well, it would have been a sad loss to the whole production if someone else had been the Official Guide. Plastered with identifying rib- bons and placed against an impres- sionistic jumble of Mount Oread build- ings which served as a cheery mask for scenery changes, the Guide had some of the best lines of the play. And the gentleman in question delivered those lines with the utmost skill, plus a de- tached calmness that fitted perfectly. If we must have guides and announcers and similar objects please let them be like this! Prof. Robert Calderwood was the vaguely bewildered Citizen who is left asleep by his family on Massachusetts Avenue, and who pops up irregularly throughout the show, for no particular reason as undertaker, professor, or- derly, halberdier. He was, as always, very, very good he even came close to making his lines seem unhackneyed in that first scene probably the worst scene from the standpoint of playwrit- ing. You can ' t define, describe, or classify this show. It is a terrifying mixture: farce, satire, poetry, hyperbole, puns, songs, dance, horseplay, countless cos- tumes, bewildering beauty. No resume can give an adequate picture of this heterogeneous mass of good things, and any criticism labors under the double trouble of having to appraise both play and presentation at the same time. But an attempt must be made, at least, to register one contemporary opinion for the sake of posterity. So on with the show. To begin the historical first half, Scene 2 depicted a somnambulist cow blinking at an uproarious octet of border ruffians. . . . Scene 3, entitled Days of Romance, provided bright contrast, as a half dozen young couples danced in proper array in a Lawrence garden of long ago One of the pleasantest bits of the whole show was the third scene ' s metrical, illustrated description of the time when serious men wore serious beards. . . . Scene 5 has already become famous. The Theatre Guild told the story, a la old-time theayter, of how the saw came nearer and nearer ( repeat nearer five times.) The cruel saw-mill proprietor ties the maid (Gretchen Speelman) to the bench and sets the saw to whirling; the latter obligingly stops and starts in accordance with the words of the Singer (Mr. Crafton) who stands placidly by.

Yet those in the know, who roared with laughter like the rest of us, say that this reproduction of a stage company of the nineties is drawn with strictest accuracy. . . .

Emmet Park struggled fairly well with an uncom- fortable part which existed, again, only for a final gag-line But Scene 1 1 was where most of us wanted to get out and stomp in the aisles. Entitled Progress, it drew in sweetly exaggerated detail the hazards of graduation. The college student stands helpless before a secretary who quotes him outlandish rules and regu- lations until he goes wild and shoots himself. For seniors who have yet found no way out, this solution may come as a ray of hope. The scene itself should be recorded and dinned into the ears of all administrative departments every day at 10, 2, and 4. ... The finale of the first half introduced a number of short-gowned mademo- iselles carrying items symbolic of de- partmental work: keen comment on modern times was the Education School representative, who carried nothing. But the dramatic introduction of On- ward Kansas, the anniversary song, cut laughter short and called forth a wave of enthusiastic approval. Messrs. Laffer and Crafton are to be congratu- lated: Onward, Spirit of Kansas must surely be part of Bandmaster Wiley ' s repertoire next fall The second part of the show A Tour of the University showed strong sagging tendencies at first. The Elizabethan horseplay (history) was somewhat exhausting The lecture on music was a pair of notches higher: under Rolla Nuckles ' excellent hand- ling a group of well-calculated puns were shown to good advantage. And that Ruble-Wadley-Nash trio was definitely worthy of an encore. . . . A Shave in the Seventh District or, Socialism in the Raw (political science), introduced a community- operated barber-shop, with rules and regulations again the object of hi- larious exaggeration. Good direction obviously made this piece what it was; honorable mention goes to Commis- sioner Bill Shipley The fashion show ' s introductory re- marks tried hard to border on the risque and they bordered but it wasn ' t worth all that strenuous effort; surprisingly enough, the comparison of period costumes with modern adap- tations was quite seriously instructive (here Gretchen Speelman shone again MAY 1939 321 OBJ ata- ' A 0 1 W nog Ad , . as the teacher ) . . . . And the spirited dance demonstration did much to pro- mote student understanding of the terpsichorean art: conflict between jazz and conventional music was depicted. But the piece de resistance of the last half was International Love, a riotous exposition of the wife-husband-lover tangle presented, because of irate de- mands from the audience, in four languages besides English. And so, given the same triangle in each case: in England all the lives are ruined, in Russia the accepted style is to share- the-wife, in Germany a gesticulating mann with a mustache delivers the in- truder to the Gestapo, in France the huband backs out of the room with a pardon! ( and here Monsieur Crafton was, Frenchly speaking, delicious), in Spain everybody passionately stabs everybody else. But the thing is in- describable and must be seen to be believed. Again thanks to Jack Laffer. A pleasant breathing-spell was pro- vided by The Unofficial Course wherein a song called Beautiful Eve- ning in Spring was sung in a highly satisfying manner by J. D. Ramsey. . . . A transition scene, in which the science department ' s atom blows up, serves to arouse The Citizen, who, if you will remember, was supposed to be dream- ing all this. He is summarily disposed of decides to send his boy to K.U. or something but we weren ' t interested in him anyway. . . . Somehow, all too suddenly, the finale was reached, and, singing the anniversary song, the entire cast faced with outstretched arms an idealized picture of the university of the future a picture of truly breath- taking beauty, as each building was touched by slowly dawning light. Greasing the I.S.A. ( Continued from Page 296 ) the I.S.U. met on Nov. 30 to nominate a slate of ten candidates for representa- tives on the Independent Student Coun- cil. This council, ratified at a business meeting of the Independents three nights later, included representatives from each of the University schools. Concerning the first few dances, the Daily Kansan states: Dances in the past have been well attended and marked by an unusual spirit of informality. A regular feature has been the danc- ing of the Big Apple. Early in the second semester of 1937- 38, the University I.S.U. received a letter from students at Oklahoma Uni- versity, announcing a national con- vention of independent student organi- zations at Norman, Okla., April 22-23. Efforts of the local officers then were directed toward sending representatives to this conference. A delegation composed of Miss Maloney, Tom Reames, Katherine Sunja, Bill Vickers, Martin Maloney, Agnes Mumert, Max Sims, and Charles Alexander attended the convention, first of its kind in the nation. They brought back ideas and the announce- ment that Lawrence had been awarded the 1939 convention of the newly- formed national body. Alexander ap- parently played an important part in bringing the meeting to the University, for he was chosen chairman of the national executive board.

A request for $300 from the Student Activity reserve fund was approved by both M.S.C. and W.S.G.A. When classes reopened last fall after the summer vacation, the organization, which had taken the name Independent Student Association, started a series of hour dances and began to plan for the coming convention. Miss Maloney still was president of the group, but new faces including that of Alexander, had been added to the local I.S.A. council. Near the end of the first semester, the council became dissatisfied with Miss Maloney ' s services, told her bluntly one January afternoon she had been removed. Susan protested the re- quested resignation and the affair de- veloped into a personal fight between her and Alexander, with the latter play- ing the role of Ethiopian in the wood pile. As the result, a mass meeting at- tended by nearly 500 unaffiliated stu- dents chose a new president, Louis Fockele, and selected a new council. Many of the new officers were new also to the I.S.A. They were faced with planning in two months a national con- vention for an expected total of 300 delegates. But the new executives dug in, worked out a membership system whereby Campus independents could attend three big dances and become paid up members of the I.S.A. for $1. On this plan, a membership drive was launched. By convention time, about 500 had joined up, testifying to the persistent efforts of the new officers. The convention was carried out suc- cessfully and K.U. ' s independents found themselves with a large, growing or- ganization whose membership had jumped from a mere 20 to more than 500 in less than 5 school months. There, then, is the story of the wheel. It moved slowly at first, found a bumpy road ahead. But when a unified organi- zation gave it power, competent officers gave it grease and a workable program of social expansion gave it a path, it began to move. And there is every indication today, that the I.S.A. ' s wheel has acquired the next thing to perpetual motion permanent progress. Too many bouquets cannot be thrown to President Louis Fockele and Business Manager John Oakson. Other council members doing yeomen work are: Susan Maloney, Agnes Mumert, Bill Vickers, Ruth Warren, Maurine Mong, Bert Brandt, Lloyd Estes, Dave Whitney, and Dave Oberlin.

The Peterboro Players in New Hampshire claimed his services that summer, and returning once more to New York, he wrote and directed a weekly radio program.

Likewise, the ultimate values of judgment are warped by independent and fraternity alignments as often occurs even in recognized parties, as well as by the party affiliation. What has politics accomplished? During the past two years, the M.S.C. has changed the voting system, appro- priated $350 to the Engineering Ex- position, provided loan scholarships, investigated dormitories, and made ap- pointments.

Set up a fair and uniform wage scale for working students will a committee of the Men ' s Student Coun- cil establish a local N.R.A.? No doubt, Lawrence business men would gladly add ten cents an hour to student - employees ' wages if someone would suggest it. 2. Place the Engineering Exposition on the University budget at present, it ' s on the budget of the Student Activity Fee, which is contributed by ALL University students. 3. Set-up a small fund, short-time loan agency for students whose money? 4. Current efforts to improve hous- ing conditions have been sufficient they still are. Other planks of the past few years read more like endorsements of cigar- ette ads. For instance they include: open library Sunday nights, library re- form, better athletic and University publicity, increased ticket facilities at mid-weeks, open M.S.C meetings to criticism twice a year, have better pep rallies. In most of the platforms, the ma- jority of the planks reek with banali- ties and verbosities that mean noth- ing. A half hour isn ' t spent over the psychological effect of a word by the platform carpenters to increase the efficiency of the M.S.C., but to snare winning votes.

Since the M.S.C. accomplishes little that is im- portant and does nothing which couldn ' t be done by the administration itself with more efficiency and more fairness to all involved, without the characteristic delay, verbiage, and asininity, ' twould be better to elimin- ate student self-governing bodies, in- cluding the W.S.G.A. The administration is continuous, it knows what needs to be done and when, and avoids the enmities that ballot stuffing and destroying gives birth to. Likewise, such an unheralded procedure would remove the reasons for politics, eliminate any future in- dependent-fraternity schism, and place elections in other organizations more on a personal merit basis. An interne in the hospital of Oread politics can do little except to be satis- fied with an occasional run in the ambulance or an occasional appendix to cut out. If a diagnostician were consulted he would probably advise surgery or the lethal chamber.

If you have a good one, don ' t let squeemishness prevent you from capitalising upon it. C. H. Mul- len is a bit unusual, and today C. H. is in an unusual position president- elect of the M.S.C. A good name won ' t carry the load, but it will ease the burden. And while we are speaking of John Randolph Tye, we think of politics. John Randolph and Harold Addington have said some mighty uncomplimen- tary things about Hill politics and the M.S.C. To ninety-nine per cent of them we subscribe heartily; to the one per cent, a little bit more than luke warmly. We were convinced something was very rotten, and since an especially juicy example of muckerism last elec- tion night, we are thoroughly of that opinion. Further, if it is true, as is re- liably reported, that only through the inducement of dance passes can men be persuaded to run for the M.S.C., drastic steps are long past due, and we hope that all our blather and harping may hasten reform. Although we actually believe the M.S.C. and W.S.G.A. should be abol- ished, we shall say one thing in its defense. Throughout the endless name band discussions of late, varsity dance passes have been roundly scored. After all, some of the council mem- bers do work hard for no remuneration.

But they, too, believe they should share in the profits. So it is with the council. For them there are no rewards but dance passes. Were they but one-year passes and not lifetime free ducats, we should not be among those criticising them for being loath to surrender their perquisites. There are plenty of other things against which to wield our feeble pen. Every word of this carries the sig- nificance of just so much tripe. But so what? We ' re a college senior on the graduation eve looking forward, not backwards, except in a sentimental way. And we don ' t give a damn! ! ! ! Why Fraternities? (Continue from page 257) association. It is a well-known axiom that we learn from others, and this is a vital principle in any fraternity house. Did you ever live with a doctor, lawyer, engineer, farmer, banker, actor, and scientist simultaneously? A fraternity man has and gleaned a wealth of knowledge from such an opportunity. He sees every aspect of the world around him; and in prolonged bull sessions concerning these interests and important subjects of the day, he has gained a LIBERAL education in every sense of the word. Imagine having a forum on any subject at your disposal at any hour of the day! What could be finer, what could be more valuable? The inner workings of a fraternity provide ample proving grounds for every member in the organization. The great abundance and variety of offices gives one a feeling of responsibility to fulfill his obligations to the other mem- bers and to extend his every effort to- ward an effective retirement of his duties. Then again, in chapter meetings, every individual is given an equal voice and chance to express his particular sentiments, thus creating within a per- son a presence of mind and assurance while on his feet. And many are the occasions upon which this training is beneficial, even imperative, in later life. My opinion is not so bigoted as to completely disregard the disadvantages connected with fraternities. Perfection has certainly not been attained. Some individuals are possessed of an inherent nature that will not be dented by any influences wielded by a fraternity, how- ever mighty they may be. Such men provide the exception to the rule that a fraternity man is a desirable citizen, and such men have provided the bases for the present stigma attached to fra- ternities by some people. These men are not the RESULT of the fraternity system, but rather the CONTRAST to it. And it is here that the fraternities are at fault, since it is my sincere belief that a fraternity should be able to ob- literate undesirable qualities in a man. Until the Greeks are able to CREATE a gentleman and a respected man from the material won during rush week, they are not, in my opinion, entirely successful. In closing, I again reiterate my belief that a fraternity is an integral and beneficial part of any school, capable of rendering yeoman service both to the school and student body. The fra- ternity makes the making of a man easier than the making of a self-made man. S cstf r r ! [ L i ' li jHgK i tttt t Hi, 1), CI CEi I in, tfaii .

COUNTRY CLUB PLAZA WEST OF 47TH AND MAIN TO THE AVERAGE under- graduate the study of philosophy seems as far off as the millennium. Yet such practical minded souls, or ghouls, as Adolph Hitler and Be- nito Mussolini are searching for the apologist who can find an air- tight philosophical justification for their systems. Likewise we seek a philosophi- cal basis for that engrossing, in triguing, unancient but honorable diversion termed jellying. Our hunt need not be a long one. It is not necessary to delve into the impenetrable abstractions of Hobbes ' Ethical Hedonism, nor Bentham ' s Egoistical Hedonism. In fact, let us be done with English empiricists; they knew nothing of collegiate coking. A short cut takes us to the ele- mentary ethics text where is pro- pounded and criticised a phil- osophy extolled by some Greek named Hedon (or maybe, and most likely, his name wasn ' t He- don ) .

In those showing an excess of debits, changes must be made. Individuals, like businesses, cannot forever show losses. Those showing a profit must hit upon some method of increasing next year ' s balance. It is not of monetary profits we speak, but of a more lasting increment. We might say culture, we might say ability or skill in performing a task. How- ever intangible it may be, it is more important than money for it is that undefinable someth ing that is personality. Every undergraduate, be he playboy or grind, should apply a measuring stick with merciless can- dor. A red balance sheet means a year wasted; and unless he can devise a more efficient program, his college career should be terminated. The expense just isn ' t justifiable. To be more specific, he must determine how much his personality has grown has it broadened or nar- rowed? Has his range of worthwhile friendships in- creased? Secondly, what has he learned that will really enable him to support himself once on his own? What courses have contributed something and what can best be studied next year? Thirdly, in what ways has he increased his capacity to enjoy life? Have the repeated exposures to culture offered by university life scratched the surface? Ruthlessly applied, these tests will show the value of a college education. Many cannot justify this year ' s attendance in face of them. If they are honest, they will mend their ways or quit. It ' s a harsh ulti- matum, but a necessary one. Because they now become earners and thereby taxpayers, seniors have additional tests. They now begin to pay for universities that others use or abuse. It behooves them, out of duty to their own pocketbook and to future collegians, to rigorously determine the value of a degree. If they find college has been a waste of time and money, or if they find it a worthwhile enterprise, it is their sacred obligation to do something about it. Facing the problem honestly, the Class of 1939, because of its first hand knowledge, can do much for the advancement of higher learning. By doing less than their potentialities, they will be in default of their debt to the society that educated them. THE COVER With this cover Bert Brandt delved into the realm of symbolism. And if you can think of a better one for a Commencement issue, we wish you had come around and told us three weeks ago, but we doubt if you can. It is the beginning of a new life and the end of the old for Chancellor Lindley as well as Bob Morton and Jane Mont- gomery. FINIS No more shall we write these little squibs for the Jayhait ' ker. Already there is nothing more to predict. But if there was money aplenty in the till, we should like nothing better than to put out a summer issue. It would be the best of all, lots of pictures and articles on what you and you and you are doing this summer that is fun and worthwhile. Good luck and so long. r 338 THE JAYHAWKER in a receptive mood at a reception. COMMENCEMENT NUMBER 939 339 ? THE BALANCED VIEW FINDS A STAUNCH SUP- PORTER IN CHANCEL- LOR I IMtl 9 V AND K. U. PROFITS BY IT By Richard MacCann THERE ARE Chancellors and Chancellors. A simple sort of fact, but some- times hard for us, as students, to appreciate. And when the search for Chancellor Lindley ' s successor began, it was a life-size object- lesson. For we were startled into the realization that the year-to-year development of any educational institution depends in the first instance on the personality of its chief executive. For those who can look back through the nineteen years of Chancellor Lindley ' s administra- tion, this fact is doubly clear. The story of the last pair of decades is inextricably bound up with the in- dividuality of the man who has been at the top. It is no accident that recent letters from alumni and friends emphasized, almost with- out exception, the personal quali- ties of the retiring Chancellor. And then, as if following the order of cause and effect, these same letters go on to speak of the closing administration as one of remarkable progress, which will be remembered long in the annals of Kansas, and one which brought the greatest revival the University has ever had. choosing the man In 1919 Chancellor Strong ' s resignation placed Kansas Uni- versity in company with some dozen other universities, all searching for new presidents. The field was full of inquiring boards working in competition with the three-man Board of Adminis- tration from Kansas. Nor was there any oversupply of qualified men. Further, there came scattered heckling from the rear with the appearance of faculty theorists, who claimed there was really little need for a chief executive any- way, since each school could govern its own affairs adequately enough without the interference of central authorities. If the Uni- versity was not to fall apart, a man of unusual balance and wis- dom was evidently needed. Finally, after long searching, the Board members fastened their gaze on a man fro m Idaho. No- body knew a great deal about this Lindley fellow. But as news trickled in, it began to appear that he was the kind of person that K.U. needed. Enthusiastic reports came in from Kansas alumni in Idaho. William Allen White, who had known him as a psychology professor at Indiana University, endorsed his name. His record as president of Idaho University- located by the way, in a town called Moscow spoke well for a short three years: politics had been di- vorced from university affairs, en- rollment had increased sixty per cent, a school of forestry had been established, state agriculture had profited by the University ' s guid- ance. The man ' s whole background seemed to mark him as fitted for university administration. After a three-year interruption of his education when he worked in his father ' s drug store he had moved steadily through Indiana Univer- 340 THE } A Y H A K E R Photo by Bert Brandt. Education does not end with the acquiring of a degree. The large Lindlcy library demonstrates that the Chancellor still considers his mind virgin territory. sity, an instructorship in psy- chology there (1893), and the headship of the latter department (1902). His academic training had been rounded out by study under Stanley Hall and William James and by travel in Germany, where he came in contact with some of the outstanding men of that golden pre-war era contacts which left him with a profound respect for the necessity of in- struction through men, not through books alone. But more than this, Dr. Lindley had put his psychology into prac- tice by reorganizing personnel for the Indianapolis Ford plant and later for the National Cash Regis- ter Company. In 1916, immedi- ately preceding his Idaho appoint- ment, he had made a lecture tour in the Northwest which attracted huge crowds. His ideas about psychology and its relation to hu- man life were not only acceptable and practical, but capable of inspir- ing popular enthusiasm. So they asked him, and he ac- cepted. Faculty, alumni, and stu- dents waited, with some trepi- dation, to see how this new man would fit in with the University of Kansas how he would fill Mount Oread ' s need. debnt He fitted in perfectly. Ernest H. Lindley is a tall man, and at that time his hair was almost as white as now, albeit with something more of a curl to it. There has al- ways been something of a curl to his voice, too, prodded by a steady enthusiasm that comes from deep down within. But the command- ing height of him, the dignity of his bearing and of his speech, the fervor of his idealism these com- bined to make him a sort of an epitome of Kansas ' high hopes for the future of her educational ef- forts. After his arrival an endless round of meetings, dinners, speeches, began. Kansans wanted to see him parents, alumni, faculty, students. And they not only saw him they heard him. They heard him talk about build- ings and salaries. They heard him talk about the investment of edu- cation and the state ' s obligation to the coming generation. They were impressed by his plea: redis- cover your University! In that year and the years following Chancellor Lindley brought the people of Kansas closer than ever before to their own educational system Lindley the fisherman COMMENCEMENT NUMBER 1939 and Lindley with the catch. made them realize its dignity and its worth. The autumn of 1920 saw the beginning of the ambitious Me- morial building campaign. The students began it during the week following a memorable Nebraska football game a 20-20 tie after Nebraska had led, 20-0, at the half. They pledged $225,000 to- ward a new stadium. Lawrence citizens followed with $150,000 and Kansas City alumni gave $200,000 more, until a total of $965,000 was finally reached. Re- sults: a Memorial Stadium (though minus a horse-shoe curve ) , in 1926 a Memorial Union Building, and an Uncle Jimmy Green statue. The year 1921 saw the voting of a larger legislative appropriation than the University had ever seen before. During the course of the budget discussions, Governor Henry J. Allen took a personal interest in Chancellor Lindley ' s plans. Time after time he called the Ways and Means Committee chairman down to his office for consultations: Senate chairman C. E. Snyder of Leavenworth, and House chairman D. E. Lamb of Herington. More than three and a half million dollars were finally forthcoming, and much long- needed building began. tlflllf! t-IIH ' lll A temporary cafeteria the Commons was built. The power plant and the electrical engineering laboratory were erec- ted. A women ' s domitory Cor- bin Hall was begun, the ad- ministration building completed, and Watson Library built. Most important of all, land was bought and the first section of the new Bell Memorial Hospital, at Kansas City, was begun the foundation of a medical school which now ranks among the top half-dozen of the nation. Salaries were raised, too: a substantial increase in 1921 and a little more in 1923. Short- lived, however, that victory lasted only until depression years. Since that early time, Chancellor Lindley ' s constructive activities have been launched in many di- rections. After the first year or two, the great agricultural depres- sion dominated the scene, but, somehow, Hoch Auditorium was built in 1927, Snow Hall was re- placed in 1929, and constant ad- ditions were made to the medical school plant in Kansas City. The latter was the recipient of several large gifts, besides. It is hard to tell just what influence a Chancellor has on the encouragement of gifts, but suffice it to say that the gifts came such gifts as the Summer- field Scholarships and the Watkins Hospital and halls. He encouraged the exploration of the resources of the state: geo- logical, sociological, and industrial surveys were begun. He estab- lished a new degree, called Bache- lor of Science in Business, and set up business as a learned profes- sion with Prof. Frank Stockton of South Dakota University, in charge (this in 1924).

No exception is the editorship of the Jayhawker. Every smidge of copy for 412 pages of yearbook is in but this. And I ' m not a bit glad. Sure I ' m sentimental to the extent of wishing there was a summer issue. There ' s not a boy in school whom I envy more than the new editor, not even the Rhodes Scholar. Dick MacCann is not taking the cocksure attitude I had a year ago, but he doesn ' t fully realize that he has begun the greatest and most difficult experience of his college career. By the first of October his brain will be wracked with fever from trying to hit upon workable ideas. Then he ' ll curse the gods for creating writers and photographers who can so utterly fail to capture those ideas. He ' ll stew for hours trying to get every- thing assigned and in desperation turn to illiterates whose copy cannot be edited; rewriting is the only solution. In the same breath he ' ll praise Allah for the willing spirit of the illiterates. (Continued on page 344) COMMENCEMENT NUMBER 1939 343 Rarely did Editor Tom Yoe ever look so cool as this. The messy desk is the only thing typical. Wan and be- draggled he slouched over his desk, made assignments to workers, bulled with loafers, cropped pictures with the aid of a ruler and pee-wee slipstick. made layouts, blue- penciled copy, struggled to put out a magazine. To Business Manager Fred Littooy fell the task of financing a S12,000-a-year business. His was the job of securing advertising from hardboiled merchants, selling apathetic organizations, laboring over ad copy, coaxing work from disinterested assistants, wheedling the editor into putting out a good magazine for an inextravagant sum. Secretary Marion Springer was the indispensable jack- of -all-trades. With equal facility she had to take letters, keep books, handle office loafers, send out bills, pass out Jayhawkers, tell the editor what to do, make numerous phone calls for her harrassed superiors. To be more explicit, she had to keep things moving.

' Then he ' ll find that the heavenly layout in his mind can ' t be made with earthly pictures. And when deadlines swirl past him like a torrential downpour, he ' ll rue the day he first walked into the Jayhawker office. He ' ll find that trips to Kansas City and Topeka are bowls of seeds without the cherries. But when each issue comes out, he will burst with pride when some competent critic congratulates him and only shrug his shoulders when some cynic mut- ters, same old stuff.

BASEBALL AND TENNIS TEAMS HAVE THEIR BALLOONS RUDELY DEFLATED BEFORE SEASON ' S END By Clavelle Holden Photo by Bert Brandt. UNSUNG HEROES of Kansas athletics are those who give their efforts in the spring. Crowds roar at football and basketball games. Hardly handfuls silently and cas- ually peruse spring sports contests. These martyrs get just as big a K as the others, take trips, but miss that soul -satisfying approval of the crowd. Although they brought Kansas her one and only Big Six cham- pionship this year, the golfers got little attention. Two and three inch stories rewarded their efforts in the Kansan. The Jayhawker doesn ' t even run their picture. Yet they did as much and more than any of the other athletes they proved themselves the best in the University and then proved them- selves better than any others in the Big Six. So the athletic posies must go to Coach Glen Oatman and his golfers. At the Big Six meet at Ames the Kansas linksmen were trailing by nine strokes at noon time. But with Captain Bob Busier and Mort Jones setting the win- ning pace by shooting par on the final nine, the Jayhawkers ended with one less stroke than Okla- homa, defending champions and reigning favorites. Jones was Kansas medalist with 157 al- though he was two behind the in- dividual champion, Bill Craig of Oklahoma. Busier, K.U. ' s number one man, was third with 158. Dean Ritchie and Bill Udell completed the Kansas team. Jack Nessly, let- teman from last year, and Rod Wakeland were the other men on the squad. Playing well over ten matches during the season, the Kansas golfers lost only two, both to Mis- souri. Captain Busier lost only one individual match the entire season. Against Missouri he tied the Law- rence course record. Last year he did not lose a match. Busier, Jones and Nessly will be lost by gradu- ation. Coach Ralph Conger ' s baseball crew seemed destined to go places this spring. But somehow the bat- ting failed to click when the pitch- ing did, and vice versa, and only five victories in 14 starts were turned in. However, eight games were decided by one run margins, and in five of these the Jayhawkers were the victims. Had the breaks gone the other way, a poor season might have been transformed into a successful one. But the nine will almost be in- tact next year. And whoever takes over Coach Conger ' s position, who recently accepted the job of head football coach at Wentworth Mili- tary Academy, should have a po- tential champion. In the infield, Jack Sands, Ed Paris, and Frank Bukaty will be back, the only loss ( Continued on page 407 ) THE .IAYIIAWKER III l I II s | THE FLESH 410ltlHM. TO KAY KYSER M MESSRS. IMMll III so Ml BI ' SBY By the Editor BECAUSE THERE is so much to tell about the judging of the beauties, we had better say now before we forget that all these bang-up photos were made by Lawrence ' s own Orville Hixon. This is the way it happened. Maybe it was just a coincidence that the time the pictures were ready and the time of Kay Kyser ' s College of Musical Knowl- edge ' s visit were the same. Not being able to get a national celebrity in person just any day, we lost little time in phoning Kyser ' s manager, Mr. Mern Bogue, better known as Ish Kabibble. So it was that at the Cakewalk intermission we and the pictures were waiting expectantly backstage. Now we supposed that Kay would do as most celebs under the same circumstances pick the queens in five minutes and then tell us to rearrange them if necessary. That is precisely what did not happen, and what did makes a tale. There probably wouldn ' t be any tale had not one of the contestants and her date unknowingly played the role of Ethiopian in the woodpile. She and the escort were also backstage for perfectly legitimate reasons. But when Mr. Kyser came off, he could not help getting a good look at her. It suffices to say that he also could not help looking twice and thrice. After a few preliminaries he set about his task with a manly gusto. Within a minute we knew he was taking his responsibility seriously. Off he went to a secluded spot, spread the beauties on the floor, braced himself, and became lost in aesthetic con- templation. Soon he was back to query if so-and-so was not the young lady he saw a minute before. Receiving our affirmative reply, he ejaculated, Why that picture doesn ' t do the girl justice! She ' s a lot prettier than that. We agreed. Also backstage in attempt to ferret out the secret. Snoops Robertson and Busby of the local journals overheard the remark and put their noses to the trail. That lead plus their premature pumping of Ginny Simms, Kyser ' s singer, led them to report the next day that Lois Hays was Queen No. 1, or else it was a steal. But the press left too soon. Intermission passed, the band began playing, and Kyser was still worriedly conferring with Miss Simms and Harry Babbit. ( Continued on page 407 ) v I 1 1 y| ,.

From near and far, ardent sports fans came to witness this premier outdoor spectacle of the Mid west. Many came to see the feature mile race between Glenn Cunningham, the Kansas flier, and Charles Fenske, a former Wisconsin star. For the first time in three years, the Kansas product came in first before the home crowd. Cunningham kept a stride behind and sprinted ahead at the finish. The time was slow, but it must be remembered that it was the first outdoor meet of the year for both runners. Six records were broken or set this year. Burly Beef us Bryan, Texas vaulting star, soared 14 feet 2 inches to crack his own vault record of 1 3 feet 1 1 % inches set last year. Don Bird, Kansas ace, was second in this event, keeping pace until the bar was raised to record height. ( Continued on page 403 ) COMMENCEMENT NUMBER 1939 353 Photo by Bert Brandt.

BOYS WILL III OFFICERING US IN THE NEXT WAR By Will Mansfield WITH THE nation ' s attention being turned em- phatically toward threats of war, the R.O.T.C. this year set a new all-time high for enrollment. Perhaps the many new students have suddenly become militaristic because of the growing wave of patriotism; perhaps they are thinking of leading others in the next war rather than being used for cannon-fodder themselves; or perhaps they are thinking of the nice government checks that go to advanced students. At any rate the United States this year has trained some 370 men at the Uni- versity so that they will be capable of serving as officers in the event of war. The University of Kansas is not a land-grant school. Therefore, military training is not compul- sory as it is in most of the surrounding state colleges. As a result the University military unit is smaller than that of many of the schools with whom it com- petes. However, K.U. can well be proud of its R.O.T.C. and its commander, Col. Karl F. Baldwin. This year, as has been true for the past several years, it was given a rating of excellent, the highest rank given, after the annual government inspection. It has been a banner period for the organization during the last two semesters. The rifle team, which has occupied a cellar position for a long time, finally advanced to a rating just half way up the ladder at the annual contest at Booneville, Mo. The girls ' rifle team did even better, receiving high honors. Both semesters have set new records for the number of students enrolled in military. Also the year has been filled with activities. f The highlights of the year socially were the two military balls at which the soldiers impressed their ladies with parade uniforms glittering with medals. Entertainment in a less formal manner was provided by a barbecue in the fall, and one this spring at which the awards for the year were made. The annual government inspection accompanied by its two days of parades was held April 28-29- But to climax the year was one of the most military displays Lawrence has seen in many years. On May 8 the 6 1st Coast Artillery of Fort Sheri- dan, 111., arrived in town. That evening before some 15,000 people jamming Haskell Stadium and the surrounding roads they gave a very convincing demonstration of a defense against an air raid. Power- ful 500,000,000 candle power search lights picked up planes streaking through the black sky, while the large anti-aircraft guns trained on them in mock drill. There are two divisions of military work a student may enter at K.U. : the infantry and the coast artillery. Every summer the infantry has a summer camp at Fort Leavenworth, and the coast artillery maintains one at Fort Sheridan. In these, six weeks of ad- ditional training and field practice are given to those prospective seniors desiring it. Upon graduation from the four year military course, a student receives a commission of second lieutenant in the organized reserve, with the oppor- tunity to have one year ' s provisional regular service. Cadet Major Wray A. Shockley is now in command of the Infantry Battalion. He succeeds Cadet Major Norman F. Koenig, who held the position the first semester. Cadet Major Richard Kane is in command of the Coast Artillery. Colonel Karl Baldwin is in charge of the R.O.T.C. at the University of Kansas. He has served all over the world, yet he says he prefers K. U. to any place at which he has been stationed, and plans to settle here upon his retirement. Scabbard and Blade is a professional military fraternity for outstanding seniors of the Reserve Officers Training Corps. Founded in 1905, there are now chapters located all over the United States. The Kansas Chapter was founded in 1923. Donald De- Ford is now president. 2ND BATTALION INFANTRY CADETS Second Row: Ward, CahiLl, Hedges, Grogan, Shockley, Coldwell.

Such conversations oc- casionally take the form of an inter- view, and when the subject is a play. the interview serves in a crude sort of way as a review. Q. The last time you interviewed yourself it was about a play called Outward Bound. Do you re- member what happened the next day? A. Shhh! As far as most people know, it was purely a coincidence that I dropped in to chat with Mr. Werner. Q. Where were you on the night of April 17, 1939? A. At a play entitled The Drunkard, or The Fallen Saved. It was produced by the K-Club for the benefit of the K-Club. All parts were played by members of the K-Club. Q. Was the play good? A. All members of the K-Club are very big and very sturdy athletes. Q. What was the play about? A. About a drunkard. You see Mrs. Wilson, a widow, has a beautiful daughter, Mary. Lawyer Cribbs, an old meany, tries to get his fingers on the Wilson cottage and a first mortgage on Mary. But Mary marries and everybody is merry. That is, all 6 , the, Saved. IlitI I II I KIN(.

Not without the aid of a couple of blood- hounds. Do you mind proceeding? A. Well Mary ' s husband keeps right on drinking, and Lawyer Cribbs keeps hanging around like stags at a mid-week, and the audience keeps laughing, and Bill Dowton and his half-witted sister, Agnes, keep running in and out, and the audience keeps laughing. Q. That sounds like they were playing for keeps. Then what happens? A. Oh, I can ' t tell you that. It might spoil the play for you. Q. Just what was the purpose of the play? A. If it hadn ' t been written back in the days when author ' s wrote plays to amuse people, I ' d say it had a lot of moral and social significance. ( Continued on page 404 ) Photo by Bert Brandt.

Mcltey HISTORY-MAKER at the University is pianist Lucile McVey, first girl in Fine Arts ever to be president of Women ' s Glee Club ( sings second soprano ) , president of Mu Phi Epsilon, music honorary, and Fine Arts repre- sentative on W.S.G.A. Lucy qualified for Mortar Board, of course, and, on the side, has taken enough courses in Edu- cation to become honorary Pi Lambda Theta. Interested in stage productions, she joined the Dramatics Club and tended properties in last year ' s Elizabeth the Queen. Her main aversion is being called intellectual. Posi- tively denies being a bookworm may be found a major part of the time coking at the Hillside with Gamma Phi sister Greta Gibson, and ' tis not with a textbook in her lap. Hails from Herington, says her ambition is to invent a noise-preventive muzzle for Hill tipsies who insist on going serenading. Eight-thirty classes were supposedly the worst the Uni- versity had to offer but she was horrified to learn at last summer school that they had 7:30 ' s too. This summer tentative plans are to drive to California in her coupe. Object of the 2,000-mile trip is to ride in the new, cream- colored V-8 belonging to A. K. Brose Law, whose Beta pin she wears argues that the sunny clime would do her good. JIMMY ROBERTSON is president of the K.U. Press Club. He ' s a Phi Delt, a journalism major, and belongs to honorary Sigma Delta Chi. As he puts it, he sings bass (flat) in the Men ' s Glee Club, and bass (sharp) in the Modern Choir. But 4,752 Jayhawkers know him because he is jimmy robertson of On the Shin. Some gnash their teeth at the kinky-haired six-footer, but if they have a short memory or can take a joke, they ' re glad to say they know the lad. Reminiscing, he recalls his earliest ambition to be a columnist when he wrote things about people on sidewalks then he was Jimmy the Skunk. Underwent a short schooling period and came to college, where he got the cognomen Robertson the Rat. For five years was projection operator in a movie theater. Watching the flickers, he got ideas which, blended with newspaper experience, he hopes will make him a top-flight playwright or scenarist. Occasional sallies out of Marysville, home town, take him far away like his Model T trip to Mexico last year, or his planned excursion to French Canadian country. Main hobby is snapshooting with his f.2, 1 500 minicam, but still has a hankering for short wave and P.A. systems. Proudest possessions are Sister Jean and Brother Ross both swell kids.

II I H.II I x REVEALS A FERTILE FIELD FOR ll ' l s IEWSHAW 7 KS By Louis Fockele LIKE AUTUMN leaves that gather up their skirts and flee be- fore the first chill blasts of winter, so the pages of a school-year calendar whisk away into nothing- ness as the end of the term draws nigh. A moment ago all the events of the year humorous, pathetic, exciting, tragic lay clearly visible at our feet. Now all distinction is gone. Only a kaleidoscopic blur of things gone by remains, except for those few events that will be remembered even into senility. Welcome to the University at the beginning of what promises to be an auspicious year was part of Chancellor E. H. Lindley ' s stand- ard greeting to students new and old as they trouped into Lawrence last fall. But three short months later these students and scores of Uni- versity supporters were violently surprised by the announcement that it was his intention to retire from the Chancellorship this spring. Chancellor Lindlley - - Ernest Hiram completes the name has been commodore of the University barge for 19 years, longer than any other person. He has been alter- nately popular and unpopular; praised and criticised. But even the wildest typhoon never seemed to shake his seasoned sea legs. Following the decision to resign came a four-month search for a man to replace him. Result was that July 1 a native son will assume the Chancellorship. Deane Waldo Malott, 41 -year-old grad- uate of the University, returns to Kansas from his position as assist- ant dean of Harvard ' s School of Business to become the ninth Chancellor of the University of Kansas. He is an individual in whom high hopes are vested. This has been an eventful year, possibly more so than any other for some time. It began inauspi- ciously Greeks pledged 328 men, classes began for the seventy-third time with nearly 5,000 students registered, approximately 1200 took the oath at the New Student Induction. In the first football game of the season, K.U. trimmed Texas Uni- versity and built hopes to sky- scraper heights. Then came the Notre Dame fiasco and the Jay- hawkers went down 52-0, the largest score ever amassed against a Kansas team. Hopes were dashed. Once again visions of that mythical successful season fled. Came the morning when the Daily Kansan carried the most con- troversial editorial of the year, Why are Jayhawkers Something of a Breather? The Associated Press had carried a story predict- ing that Kansas would be a breather in the forthcoming Kan- sas State game. Not a few students choked on their toast when they read this evident denunciation of coaching. It was the topic of dis- cussion for days. Game day arrived and that team which was to be a breather turned out to be a hurricane. The Jay- hawk trampled the Wildcat into the turf and the Kansan looked a bit silly for some time. Conclusion, however, was that howls of the wolves shattered neither team nor student morale. Upshot of the whole thing was that another coach became an in- surance salesman and the director of athletics acquired also the head coach position. Despite the confusion, in Rob- inson Gymnasium murals depict- ing a peaceful tropical scene appeared on the walls of the Uni- versity swimming pool, federal agents combed Lawrence in search (Continued on page 408) v Photo by Bert Brandt Kay Kyser with his cut-up antics put on a never-to-be-forgotten show for a record crowd of Senior Cakewalkers.

We go back to February, when blizzards were sweeping the Campus, ice covered the hills, and steak fries were out of the question. February 18, the Y.W. and the Y.M. held another barn dance at Robinson Gymnasium. At the Delta Chi House the Barbary Coast gang (for an eve- ning) gave forth to the music of the Esquires of Rhythm from Kansas City. Their neighbors, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, were also holding a semiformal at the house with the music of Clyde Smith. The Hili was wid e open and going that night, for on the other side of the Campus Phi Gamma Delta held their ( Continued on page 400 ) Hoch Auditorium floor was jammed with dancers who were deluded into thinking they had more floor space than the Union ballroom afforded.

That ' s just what Bert Brandt did one day last I winter. It was a mild day, so when he went up on the Hill to his classes, he wore no coat, but just his numeral sweater. About ten-thirty, the blow- struck. Someone told him that his basement room in a West Campus boarding house had burned burned out from floor to ceiling, wall to wall. And they weren ' t fooling. Everything was gone, clothes, books, keepsakes, type- writer, two cameras reduced to dirty, damp ashes. For some, that would have meant only a wire home for money and a few shopping trips down- town. But for a fellow who was earning his entire way through school, it was stark calamity. A more timid soul would have quit and gone home. Not Bert. He buckled in, salvaged what little there was, and swore to sitck it out. And stick it out he somehow did. Within a fortnight, friends had come to his aid with clothes and loans. Fritz Werner passed the hat among the faculty and soon Bert had a news-camera outfit better than which no one could wish especially Bert, for it was much better than he had ever had before. In all the University, there was no happier boy. But that is just one incident in the eventful life of one of the Hill ' s real personalities. There may be men on the Campus who have led lives more interesting than Bert Brandt ' s, but we haven ' t made I- 1 III- PHASED HIM BUT DIDN ' T .!: r HIM DOWN, AND THAT ' S WHAT MARKS A MAN By the Editor their acquaintance.

He has done professional work for amateur pay. He isn ' t very distinguished in appearance. The caption he him- self suggests for his identification card is Marijuana. A coach would note his barrel chest, but otherwise well, he ' s no matinee idol. But you are quick to note his high-pitched voice, and to sense a mercurial spirit that alternates be- tween enthusiastic intensity and the abandonment of all hope. After a Wichita high school, his first stop was Friends University in that city. As he puts it, he was quite a large frog in a little pond, ( Continued on page 400 ) COMMENCEMENT NUMBER 1939 367 WHAT IS a semi-organized house? It ' s a sociological sport. We bred the frat to the boarding house and got the best hybrid since the mule, pridefully spoke one of the fifty-odd boys who have found both the fraternity and the board- ing house unsuited to their means and needs. The semi-organized house be- gan its existence seven years ago when four boys became dissatisfied with their living conditions and sought an improvement. The boarding house offered them in- expensive rooms, but it also de- manded that their companions be such strangers as their landlady should see fit to let soil her linen. The fraternity offered them select associations, but it demanded exor- bitant interest charges on the fine leather furniture in the living room. Faced with this dilemma, the four boys called an extended bull session and emerged with a brain child. After a diligent search they found a landlady and drew up an informal contract. The landlady agreed to provide the boys with a true home. In return the boys were to guarantee filling the house with more boys for the landlady and the semi - organized house was born. The inspiration proved increas- ingly reproductive, if not prolific. From a start of four in one house there are now more than fifty in three houses, located at 1011 In- diana, 1409 Tennessee, and 1231 Louisiana. The popularity and success of the semi-organized houses is not due alone to the happy combina- tion of the fraternity and the boarding house. As it takes quality to make a Buick, so it takes quality to make a semi-organized house. Rich or poor, a semi-organized house ' s prospectus pledge is first asked whether he came to school to study. Determinations are pre- ferred to past records, and it works. The composite grade point aver- ages of the semi-organized houses never stray below 2.2, and occa- sionally reach 2.7. Book worms? No, they ' re just not lazy. They play as hard as they work. The Friday evening house at the Varsity Theater is regularly brought down by a wise-cracking squad of show-goers from 1011. Ox-tossing sessions may get louder elsewhere on the Hill, but they are nowhere more frequent than in the semi-organized houses. The con- tract game starting on Monday at noon finally gives way to the small stake poker game on the following Saturday night provided there isn ' t a varsity.

Their cur- ricular activities are for the most part contained in venerable Green Hall and they seem to be more or less apart from the general student body. They are, however, unique in their own sphere. In the Law School traditions have developed unlike any other place on the Campus. To the court justices, a chancellor of the University, several U.

Kappa Kappa Gam- ma in giving them a tough fight for the championship cup. In this last lap of the year ' s competition Softball has been the major sport which has tested the skill and strength of the various teams and dollies. After having beaten the Pi Phi ' s by a wide margin, the Kappa ' s emerged as the winners of the sorority division and prepared to play the I.W.W. team who had trounced the other teams in their group. The final game between these two was a rousing one result- ing in a victory for the I.W.W. ' s by a score of 17 to 5. This spring the tennis tourna- ment was managed in a new way instead of having individuals sign up and play whomever they drew, it was arranged so that or- ganizations played one another as in baseball and ping pong. Matches consisted of two doubles and one singles contest. The Kappa ' s and Pi Phi ' s must battle for the sorority title. The Kappa ' s are vigorously supporting their team composed of Magill, Jane and Ellen Irwin, Dodge, and Led- yard while the Pi Phi girls, Ander- son, Van Arsdale, Barclay, Brown- ing and Smyth are just as anxious for a win. In the horseshoe tournament the semifinals will be played off be- ( Continued on page 397 ) THE By Gordon Brigham AS POINT totals begin to loom large and important in the sweep- stakes race, men ' s intramurals con- tests become more a matter of life and death. The Galloping Domi- noes, a hardy crew of Indepen- dents, went into the spring season with a commanding lead and bid fair to dethrone Beta Theta Pi, three-time champion. But as the close draws near, it appears that the Beta ' s may put on a closing drive that will once more anchor the cup on Tennessee Street. Earle Radford and Ed Wien- ecke, perennial Beta handball threats, had things their own way while the Beta tennis team scored heavily, emerging runner-up to the Kappa Sig ' s. To balance things, the Dominoes counted strongly in horseshoes, their forte. The big difference came in soft- ball. Defending champs, the Beta ' s were not expected to cause much trouble, but came through to reach the play-off semifinals. After reigning as pre-season favo- rites, the Dominoes did a tailspin after losing their star pitcher, Frank Wiegel, because of ineligi- bility. Phi Kappa Psi seems firmly rooted in third place, amassing points in horseshoes although its highly touted Softball team never got going.

To whom? The commencement speaker. And what is he saying? Words of wisdom, speaking of an entrancing idea, advising with the authority of experience and training, Or blase generalities, that the world is a mess, his generation is responsible for it, and we, the youth, must set the house to order. But who, among this chosen few, is worried about the world? More than likely, it is our own futures of which we boast or have night- mares. As, the Best Looking or the Best Dressed is worried that ulti- mately he ' ll evolve into a bundle stiff, his diploma in his pack, and his motto summa cum lousy. Or the undergraduate voted Most Likely to Succeed wakes in a cold sweat that his success will be in snitching pies from kitchen windows. He ' s probably sweating because the irate housewife caught him at his pilfering activities. Or the Most Scholarly remarks that: Indubitably, one cannot accomplish illegal entry of a hen house with a Phi Beta Kappa key. And the Best All Round Athlete with wilted white collar sleeps on his breef-case in the park. While the Most Talented sings: Fraternity brother, can you spare a dime. Probably, the commencement speaker, if he says so, is convinced that the world has gone to the bow-wows, that it is up to youth to build gilded ivory towers. For eight years the present college graduate, since he entered high school, has live a charmed and somewhat unreal existence. Now, after four years of one-armed chairs in the ivied halls of college campuses, his alma mater spews him forth, and as the ceremony goes, for better or for worse.

GRADUATION COMMITTEES Write-ups by Louise Webster CLYDE SMITH is unofficially known to everyone on the Hill as leader of his dance band. Officially, and known thus to fewer, he is president of the senior class. Hailing from far-off Dodge City, Smitty pledged Kappa Sig four years ago. Since, he has been president of the band (trumpet) and in the Modern Choir (tenor). In a few days he will receive his sheepskin from the School of Business in which he was a Delta Sigma Pi. Business attracts him more than music, because the latter is too hard a life. JOYCE VETTER, senior vice-presi- dent, is the only woman to have in two years appeared in the Jayhawker as vice- president of the sophomore, junior, and senior classes (through mistake, of course ) . Otherwise her many activities keep her from golf, her pet hobby. As 3 piano major, she practices much. Member of Mortar Board, an active Theta, Jay Jane, W.S.G.A. council- woman, Mu Phi Epsilon and Pi Kappa Lambda member, she keeps busy. GENE GOSNEY, senior treasurer, spent two years in K. C, Kan., Junior College before coming here. Active enough in politics to defeat his fellow townsman, Freddie Bosilevac, Gene was elected last spring on the Pachacamac ticket with Smith. Academically he is majoring in business administration. Although work in the library keeps him busy, he finds time to play Softball and badminton, and be a model husband. MARY VIRGINIA STAUFFER, senior secretary, left her hometown col- lege of Bethel in Newton to come to the University. This redhead is a music major in the School of Education, a hardworking Jay Jane, and member of the W.S.G.A. council.

BooJz 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 the W.S.G.A. book exchange io the basement of the Union Building are not so humorous. Rather, it is quite businesslike, being a $5,000 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 ex- change is entrusted to the Advisory Committee of the W.S.G.A., composed of Dean Elizabeth Meguiar, Prof. Beulah Morrison, and Prof. Elise 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. Next year the manager will be Helen Pierce. 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. Popular student practice is that of marking up the price in back of the book in hopes that a larger price might be obtained. However, it is a rare occasion when that trick works. 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 for the exchange to open several days before classes start. Students may obtain books ahead of time and thus avoid the rush. Recently a new service has been offered customers, that of lending money on books. Books are bought only at the end of each semester. This procedure lessens the possibility of buying stolen books. Handling 5,000 books a semester, the exchange is a regular business even if students in quest of Nelson ' s College Caravan ask for Elks in Fairyland.

But the interest of the boys in semi-organized houses are not con- fined to the books and to play among themselves. Not less than seven of the University ' s debate squad either have lived in, or do live in, or are intimately connected with semi-organized houses. Six of seven non-fraternity men elected to Sachem this year may be claimed by a single semi-organized house. So in these houses fifty boys live and thrive. Their rules are simple. Each house elects an official representative who serves to introduce the professors who come to dinner and to make ar- rangements for new members. A treas- urer is elected to collect the costs of newspapers, telephone, modest parties, and intramural teams. If the house bill runs to more than six bits a month, the treasurer is profanely asked to resign. The run of the house is the boys ' and the housemother asks only that the wallpaper be left on the walls.

That he took education seriously, spent eve- nings in the library instead of the nearest coke joint, and who sacrificed at least one meal a day to attend school. Which may be. Some feel they ' ve been sold short and must make something of nothing. They would supplant psychology with a course in hitch-hiking, prescribe the want-ad section as a text, and for the grad with a job, endow a chair in the corner lunch room. Nevertheless, most grads will look hopefully for jobs, and the most ener- getic or those with the best pull will find employment. And soon the cynicism will disappear and they will make speeches at reunions about ini- tiative and pluck. Others, the more studious, will pursue the bubble of education still farther, which no doubt, is the sanest thing to do to fill the stop-gap.

Yes, and I mean YES, you can bet that Fred Littooy hates to vacate his office. And I hope the new editor has as good a business manager. Staffs come and go, but Secretary Marion Springer stays on a phenome- non that will be greatly appreciated by the new staff. Springtime is the girl that knows just how and what should be done and has the answer when the editor screams, What do I do? To Bert Brandt goes the orchard cor- sage for the most efficient work of all, the best ideas, and general meritorious service. What ' s more he did it all for love, not money. Dick MacCann worked hard on his feature articles all year and received no more than his just deserts with the editorship. Dick is still green at the mechanics but has a grim determi- nation to learn. Mark my words, Dick MacCann will put out a Jayhawker different from any other. You ' ll like it. Stew Jones gets my undying grati- tude for his handling of personalities and anything foisted off on him. He is a fellow who would make a fine editor. Maurice Jackson was un- doubtedly the hardest working as- sistant I had. The new business manager, Chad Case, displayed a fixity of purpose and a remarkable sagacity that clinched the job for him, but only after Frank Bolin gave him strong competition. Had Groves Lucas started working before the last two weeks, undoubtedly he would have won the office as the speed and thoroughness with which he worked was an eye-opener. Stan Stauf- fer, although only a freshman, showed much promise. Of the office assistants Kenneth Maricle, Bob Woodward, Bob Eidson, and Sonny Jones were rays of light in an otherwise dark sky. It warms the cockles of an editor ' s heart when there is scads of work to be done and someone like Jane Mont- gomery and her Theta cohorts, Betty Denious and Marge Trembly, unbe- knownst to me, pitch in and do it with utmost celerity. There are several writers who live in anonymity, so hereby we recognize: Margaret Wilson, whose women ' s fashions even surpassed those of the late-great Molly DeMotte; Frances Franklin, men ' s fashions; Tommy Hig- gins, Hill hangouts; Bill Hathaway, Course of Events; and Bill Gray, whose Social Wheel had so often to be butchered because of space limitations. I ' ll be brief is this euconium, be- cause he wouldn ' t appreciate more than a word, but Bob Maplesden of the Burger-Baird Engraving Company is the fellow who made the Jayhawker what it is. And Dos Merillat and his printers over at Capper ' s were not only indis- pensable, as anyone can see, but were princes of fellows to work with. - THE JAY HAWKER KANSAS UNIVERSITY IS SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD .

For light clothes it is hard to beat Palm Beaches and light-weight worsteds. It is very much in order to wear a Palm Beach suit in almost any color with the most popular being the traditional white. Drop in The Palace and Ober ' s and try on one of their many models of Palm Beaches and if you don ' t find one that is just what you are looking for, you just aren ' t in the seventy- five per cent of American men. Light weight worsteds are very popular and also what is very much more important they are very cool. Worsteds in light and dark colors with stripes and plaids in single and double breasted models. They wear like iron and hold a press fine and look like a million. Ober ' s have a good stock of worsteds in 7 full drape and plain models. For just plain around the Hill wear the best for any young man are sport shirts and light slacks. Shirts in all models with double pockets and short and long sleeves and open necks and the popular in-or-out bottom brought over from the old country. Suits with shirt and trouser to match in bright colors and light weaves. There are almost as many styles of footwear this season as there are different pedics to put them on. Shoes in the ever-popular buck in white and with brown and black trim. See The Palace ' s line of these with the popular wing tip.

But Friends was too small for his ambition, and he hied himself off to the University of Southern Cali- fornia. And that was too big. So he settled on Kansas as a school of just the right size, and two years ago he made his appearance on Mount Oread. Self-supporting, he took a job in the cafeteria. By diligent work he was ad- vanced to keeping books. But Ben made the mistake of acting as mouth- piece for a workers ' protest committee and was soon back laundering dishes. Whereupon the manager pushed off the bookkeeping job on Jack Town- send, then student manager, and Jack promptly hired Bert to do the work. So Bert then had two jobs instead of one. In all the history of photography, there have been very few who have done more with less equipment than Bert Brandt. Take his glamor girls, for instance. Of course they ' re patterned after Hurrell ' s, in Esquire; and we ' re not saying Bert ' s are quite up to the Hurrell standard. But they are good, arent ' they? Well, Hurrell uses thous- ands of dollars ' worth of equipment and has very little else to do, and gets hundreds of dollars for one picture. Bert has made most of his with a bat- tered little antique worth maybe $7.50, a dollar ' s worth of lamps, and gets paid off mostly in thanks. For a long time, he didn ' t even have that much camera. He had none at all, in fact. But he had a burning interest and great natural ability. Every month out of his meager earnings, he used a dollar for films, begged, borrowed, or stole a camera, and took pictures for last year ' s Jayhawker. This summer he acquired the $7.50 item, a battered hulk that might soon have become more valuable as an an- tique, for it looked like about the third camera ever made. But with it he had been taking some of the best pic- tures that have been printed in any college publications anywhere. Not content to half-starve in passive fashion, Bert determined to do it actively. So he has been reporting for track all this semester, and his work as a quaner-miler will probably earn him a letter. One of his many interesting aspects is the work he did for two years in Wichita as the dog-census-taker. And the city dads will give him that job whenever he wants it, for the simple reason that he can find more dogs than anybody else. Ask him about it some- time. Such methods as hunting trampled flower beds, finding gnawed bones, catching someone with a dog and getting him to squeal on the neigh- bors, bring up the official canine popu- lation and revenue for Bert and the City. Probably no one has ever made more friends on this Hill in two short years than Bert. Somehow, he found time to do yeoman work on the I.S.A. Council. Although he couldn ' t be bothered run- ning for an office in Hill politics, by sheer force of personality he has cre- ated such a following that during the last campaign Boss Dan Hamilton was heard to query worriedly, I wonder if Bert is with us? That ' s Bert Brandt and a swell fel- low. Tab him strong in your recol- lections. Keep your eye on Life and Hollywood: you ' re likely to hear from him in either or both. The Social Wheel ( Continued from page 363 ) annual Pig Dinner, steeped in tradi- dition, and the house was decorated with the purple and white of the fra- ternity. The next week, February 24, Delta Tau Delta had their winter formal dinner-dance at the house, Clyde Smith Paying. February 25, the I.S.A. took over the lounge for another Jitterbug Jamboree, while at the Eldridge Hotel Sigma Nu held their annual Hi-Rickety. Next week the junior class held their Prom. There ' s a long story behind the scenes, but since you all know it, we need say no more. However, Count Basic didn ' t draw enough dancers, and the red ink was flowing for the class. March 10, the Men ' s Pan-Hellenic Council held their annual dance at the Union Building. March 11, Delta Upsilon fraternity held open their house for the annual winter formal. In the Union Ballroom the engineers, Triangle-Theta Tau- Kappa Eta Kappa, held a cooperative dance, while below in the lounge, The K-Club held forth. March 17, another all-school varsity; the next night, the Alpha Delta Pi sorority party, and another I.S.A. dance. It ' s a good thing that the Independent students have been doing. They ' re hav- ing just as much fun with economical parties as are the Greeks at their expensive ones. March 18, Sigma Chi gave their annual Masket. This year it was a South Sea Island dance. Dates taken to the court house, sentenced for not wearing sufficient clothes, and jailed at Erickson Hall. The Sig ' s as South Sea Islanders, released them and took them to the Country Club. March 24, I.S.A. dance in the lounge, and Ricker Hall dance at the hall. Sigma Alpha Epsilon gave an informal sweater-skirt party to usher in the spring season, bringing a colored band over from the City. At the Union, to share honors in being first of the season, Sigma Phi Epsilon held their annual spring formal. Next week, March 31, the R.O.T.C boys held the second of their two an- nual dances, following the initiation of pledges to Scabbard and Blade. April 1, I.S.A. held a semi formal for their national convention, in the Union ballroom in full swing style. The K-Club entertained the high school boys from over the state with a dance at the Country Club. This was the concluding event for the week-end and field-day. Acacia had a dance at the house, and out at Holcomb ' s grove, we hear that the Delt ' s had a steak-fry. (I think it almost necessary to change the procedure for time, space, and energy saving.) The other sixty parties and social gatherings of the hill were in brief held by every con- ceivable social organization on the Hill fraternities, sororities, church organizations. But we ' ll have to skip to the event of the year. Tuesday night, May 16, was the night of nights; good reason for all students to cast aside books, and cut loose in a whirl.

Yarj of lro| r ' M ( Continued from page 34 1 ) When the problem of depres- sion becomes acute, he started a ten- cent meal plan which spread all over the United States. He traveled to Washington to buttonhole President Roosevelt with a plan to aid jobless youth. The College Student Employ- ment Project was the result, and the later appearance of the broader Nation- al Youth Administration can be directly traced to that first buttonholing act. Fifteen years ago I was dismissed from the University and as he says it, something of the fire of that fight glints again in his eyes. For the year 1925 marked a turning-point in Kansas educational hitsory. Governor Jonathan Davis had in- tervened several times in University appointments, with the cooperation of his politically appointed Board of Ad- ministration. Chancellor Lindley saw that intervention as an unwarranted infraction of academic freedom. He fought it. Open warfare came with the Governor ' s abrupt announcement that the Chancellor was dismissed. The Chancellor kept on fighting: he wanted to find out if Kansas education couldn ' t, after all, be jrte from politics. When he carried his appeal to the State Supreme Court, he was told that the Governor ' s action was constitutional. But he didn ' t have to take any appeal to the people of Kansas. The new Governor-elect, Ben Paulen, began to receive letters. Three thousand students and ninety per cent of the faculty signed a petition of pro- test and sent it to him. The Paulen mail soon had to be brought to him in bushel-baskets mail from every corner of the state and from alumni all across the nation. There was simply no balking the tide. It was a grand testimonial to the character and ideals of one man. For two or three days Chancellor Lindley was out of office, but immedi- ately after the new Governor ' s in- K. U.

The next session of the legislature passed a bill, at Governor Paulen ' s re- quest, which abolished the three-man board of political appointees and es- tablished an unpaid Board of Regents. ii attitude That single change is certainly one of the major accomplishments for which the Lindley Administration will be remembered. The outstanding characteristic of this man this Ernest Hiram Lindley of Indiana, Germany, Idaho, and points between, and now emphatically of Kansas is his breadth and balance of viewpoint. His is the long-time view, unruffled by the urgency of the moment. And it is both in broad policy and in personal relationships that this healthy attitude has been felt. Again, in his ideal of student free- dom of expression, he has permitted few exceptions. His advisers have sometimes pressed him hard for a certain degree of censorship. The University is getting a ' black eye, ' they would tell him, and the blame will fall upon you. That is just where it should jail, was his usual reply. The same goes for the faculty. Aca- demic freedom is no abstract phrase at K. U. Professors that stimulate, pro- fessors that have the personal as well as the scholastic qualifications these are the kind the Chancellor has looked for. And once appointed, new men find the reins in their own hands both the privileges and responsibilities of free- dom theirs. That is the reascn a number of outstanding professors have been willing to remain at the University in spite of larger salary offers at other institutions. They like it here. Favor of one department or one school over another has been un- known. The Chancellor has worked for the progress of each one the deans will tell you that. The medical school received more money than any other during his term, but this was the legislature ' s choice, for in his very earliest budget recommendations, he was already asking, for instance, for a fine arts building as well. Each dean and each professor has known that Dr. Lindley would take the trouble to stand behind him, ready to encourage and defend, impartially. The result? An almost total absence of faculty bickering and jealousies a general at- mosphere of pulling together, based upon the personal leadership of a generous chief executive who under- stands his fellow-workers, understands their problems, and is willing to take their criticism in good part. Here is the balanced view in action. In ' interests He ' s interested in everybody. He follows his own rule, and treats persons as persons, not as things. He ' s interested in the man who sits down next to him on the train likes to hear his ideas and guess at his background. He ' s interested in Kansas ' farmers hopes to meet with groups of them in years to come and talk about education. He ' s interested in children knows the first names of nearly all his faculty members ' offspring. Above all, he ' s interested in students has often called into his office someone he doesn ' t know, just for a talk. He thinks he ' ll call his sophomore course in ethics Design for Living first edition, 1940-41 and later he plans to sit back and listen to a seminar group of phil- osophy students. He ' s the kind of man who can get equal enjoyment out of landing a yard- long tarpon which he has done many times or plunging into a discussion of an involved passage in Hegel. His interests seem unlimited. Now add to this dominant motif his fundamental interest in the ethical emphasis of things. Add, finally, his many years of study, of travel, of con- tact with advanced thinkers. The re- sult is something close to that finest fruit of any educational system a practical idealist. He has plowed his talents back into the educational system, and education is better for it. For the University, it has been a time of coordination and growth says William Allen White. He has given the University purpose and direction. His influence will long live far be- yond the age-limit of mere grateful words. It will live in the thoughts and lives that have been changed because he is the sort of man he is.

The North Texas State Teachers ' College distance medley relay team, anchored by Elaine and Wayne Ride- out, ran the event in 10:06.9 seconds to crack the old mark by 17 seconds. The Rideout twins were two of the stars of the afternoon when both ran a mile under 4:15. Later they demon- strated that they could step off the dashes as they proved the winning factors in the mile relay. Another record that was smashed was the special half-mile relay for the Kansas City, Mo., high schools. Four runners from Southwest High ran the distance in 1:31.9 to clip more than two seconds from the old mark made by Northeast in 1937. A new race was instituted this year, the special invitational sprint medley relay. Since it was the first time that the race was held, the new Phi Kappa Psi challenge trophy was given to Baker University for winning the event in 3:39.2. Other features of the seventeenth annual Kansas Relays were the per- formances of Fred Wolcott and Mozel Ellerbee. Wolcott, the Rice Institute star, ran the high hurdles in 14.3 seconds to miss his own record of last year by .1 second. The Rice star has never been beaten outdoors. A pulled muscle greatly handicapped his efforts here. Ellerbee, Negro sprinter from Tuckeegee Institute, ran the 100-yard dash in 9.5 seconds to miss the relays record by .1 second. The world record in this race is also 9-4 seconds. The ebony speedster defeated Wilbur Greer, Michigan State dash champion, by six inches. Greer had run the dis- tance in the same time as Ellerbee ' s performance two weeks earlier in the Texas Relays at Austin. Bob Stoland, Kansas high jumper placed second behind Dick Schnacke, Iowa State, in the high jump. Fen Durand was second in the javelin throw behind Bob Waldram, Missouri. The University distance medley relay team of Bill Greene, Chet Cox, Ernie Klann, and Ray Harris finished second to Missouri in the long race. We have already mentioned that Don Bird was second to Bryan in the pole vault. Chet Friedland ' s fourth in the shot concluded the Kansas scoring. or Fallen Saved (Continued from page 356) Q. Pardon me for butting in like this, but do you enjoy writing reviews? A. You don ' t think I write stuff for other people to enjoy, do you? Q. Space is a wastin ' . Tell us about the scenery. A. What scenery? Q. The tree, for example. It was labeled tree. Couldn ' t you read? A. Most of the scenery was pretty well labeled. The signs that were thrust out in front of the curtain before each scene were, for the most part, good clues. Q. And what about the directing? A. Superb. Surprisingly superb. But since Rolla Nuckles charged the K-Club boys $90 for his services, I feel that he has been sufficiently re- warded. I take back that second superb.

KANSAS CITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY Home Office Kansas City, Missouri. COMMENCEMENT NUMBER 1939 405 Q. Isn ' t it high time you mentioned the cast? A. Well, it seemed to me that Fred Bosilevac, as the villian, was re- sponsible for most of the audience reaction. Everybody booed and hissed and threw beans at him. He slithered around in a wig, black suit, and cape, arousing all sorts of hatred. Q. And Bob Allen? A. He was the drunkard. He wasn ' t really drunk just play-actin ' . The audience booed and cheered him al- ternately. Q. And Ralph Miller as Mrs. Wil- son? A. Gripping, simply gripping. He didn ' t leave a dry eye in the whole audience. Q. Mary Wilson was Howard Engleman. Do you care to comment? A. That boy Engleman performs as smoothly on a stage as he does on a basketball court. Q. Do you recall John Naramore as Bill Dowton? A. And his tricky eye expression? The memory of it is still a tonic on dull days. Q. Or Jack Richardson as Bill ' s half-wit sister? A. His hysterics have become his- toric. Q. Didn ' t you notice the work of Bob Hunt? A. Lousy, terrible, awful!!! Q. Good heavens! Why did you say a thing like that? A. Because Bob is a friend of mine, and because he was the only guy in the cast who weighs 135 pounds. Q. You rat. Everybody else thought he was swell. Now how about the others. A. Chet Friedland, who puts a shot practically out of sight, was magnifi- cent as the bartender. And Max Rep- logic, a half-back, did excellently. Come to think of it, Bill Lenhart, an- other football player, was more than merely amusing. Q. Steve Renko is good natured. Do you mind telling the truth about him. A. He was the minister, and if he had learned his part or been able to find his place on the script he wouldn ' t have been nearly so funny. Q. This is a stinking way to write a review. What will the editor say when he sees it? A. If Tom Yoe could read, this would never get into print. Q. Lucile Wagner was the pianist. How did she do? A. Her darndest, so nobody shot her. It was sure a good thing that every- body was searched at the door. Q. And that quartet composed of George Murphy, Fen Durand, Ross Robertson, and Kirk Owen? A. It was sure a good thing that everybody was searched at the door. Q. You ' re a lousy reporter. Where was the play given? A. The first four nights, the boys trod the boards in the Little Theater.

Bnjiirv Jinx Hit Tra-k ( Continued from page 360 ) spots, however, were the brilliant per- formances of Kansas ' three of a kind, all aces, Bob Stoland, Don Bird, and Ray Harris. Stoland came through with two more fine competitive perform- ances to tie for first in the high jump at 6 feet 334 inches, and to win the broad jump with the excellent distance of 23 feet lOVi inches, a foot farther than he had ever jumped before. Bird successfully defended his in- door and outdoor championships with a vault of 13 feet 634 inches. Harris presented two exhibitions that gave weight to all the Kansan ' s rave copy that had been written about him. He turned in a convincing mile that Mis- souri ' s great Munski could better only by a yard, and returned later to out- stride Mitchell of Kansas State in the two-mile run with a time of 9 minutes and 29-9 seconds, tying the conference record set last year by Mitchell. However indication of the results of Coach Bill Hargiss ' patient tutoring came in the Big Six indoor meet at Columbia on March 4. Relegated to fight it out for last place, the Jayhawk- ers crossed up dopesters by placing second to Missouri. It seemed likely that with Foy and other injured men in shape Kansas would have come out on top. Biggest surprise of the meet, even to Coach Hargiss, was the per- formance of Bob Stoland, who, in his first varsity competition and after only two days of practice, set a new Big Six . indoor record in the high jump with a leap of 6 feet 3H inches. Bird made his best vault of the year in this meet, hoisting his lanky frame over a height of 13 feet 7 ' 2 inches. The final indoor competition was at the Butler Relays. Masoner turned in COMMENCEMENT NUMBER 1939 407 the best mark of the meet when he skimmed the 60-yard low hurdles in 6.8 seconds, just .1 of a second from the world record. The Jayhawkers stretched their wings in an outdoor setting for the first time at the Texas Relays held at Austin on April 1. Bob Stoland continued his amazing performances by leaping 6 feet 5 inches to tie for first place. Don Bird came through with a 13 feet 6 inch vault to tie for first with Texas ' Beefus Bryan. The distance medley team placed second behind the world ' s record holding North Texas Teachers ' team led by the Rideout twins. The next week Drake was the ob- jective, but the team came back with only a third place in the distance med- ley and a fifth in the two mile relay as injuries prevented Masoner, Durand, Bird and others from competing. In the Cornhusker dual held in Law- rence during Easter vacation, the Jay- hawkers did something no other Kan- sas track team had done since 1916, beat Nebraska in a dual meet. The margin was all the more surprising, 71 to 59. The next outdoor event gave some hint of the way the Big Six meet would come out when Nebraska beat out Kan- sas and Kansas State in the annual tri- angular held at Manhattan. Nebraska scored 61 points while Kansas and Kansas State followed with 53Vi and 49 Vi points respectively. Kansas raised the hopes of its fol- lowers by defeating Missouri 67 2 3 to 63 1 3 the following week. This meet is credited almost entirely to the efforts of Bob Stoland who came through on his last trial in the broad jump to defeat Missouri ' s star jumper, Sol Schumitsky, giving Kansas enough points to cinch the meet without a victory in the mile relay. Incidentally Kansas did not win the relay but the meet still belonged to Daddy Hargiss and his boys. Prospects are seemingly bright for next year with such stars as Harris and Stoland returning to be reinforced by the oncoming freshman crop which appears to be the best in years. Head- lining the frosh stars are Dick Overfield and J. R. Jones. Overfield holds high school marks of 9.8 and 21.4 for the 100- and 220-yard dashes respectively. Jones specializes in the broad jump and has done over 24 feet this year. Kay Kysrr Picks (Continued from page 346) At long last he reached a decision not to make a decision on the ranking of the first six without seeing them in the flesh. If Miss Hays ' picture didn ' t do her justice, might not that be the case with others, he reasoned. Frantically we tried to round up the other six. Two had to be yanked out of bed, and the Cakewalk was over by the time Kay had seen them all. He had counted the tickets, collected his money, changed his clothes, and had his hat on before reaching a final de- cision at 12:45. Even then he was indecisive, rely- ing upon the advice of Ginny Simms. First Miss Wadley was the choice. Then Miss Hays. A second reversal put Miss Wadley back in the coveted spot, and there she stayed. And that is the true story of how Kay Kyser took two and a half hours to choose the Jayhawker Beauty Queens. It was a hectic night, but we had a hell of a lot of fun. Just to keep the girls level-headed we tell this little sidelight. When Kay got a look at Helen Johnson he asked if she were in the contest. We had to say no because she had never entered. Whereupon he said, Why she ' s better looking than any of the girls whose pictures I have! Colters Bring Only Title (Continued from page 345 ) being Les Kappleman at shortstop. The outfield will be minus only the services of Pat Hokum as Larry Hensley and Eldreth Cadwalader will both be back patrolling the outer gardens. Ed Hall, first string catcher, is only a sophomore and should develop into a great re- ceiver. On the mound Kansas will have two of their three starters back, John Burge and Red Dugan returning, with Cliff Brass succumbing to the three year eligibility rule. The tennis team, also coached by Oatman, seemed likewise a strong out- fit, but couldn ' t hit a winning stride and at the league meet missed the cellar by only one position.

Stanley Jones and T. Z. Koo. Then Eleanor Roosevelt charmed all but the obstinate during her visit to the Campus. She won the hearts, or contempt, of the thousands who gathered to see and hear her. Her marvelous lecture, delivered in Hoch auditorium, was the first ever to be given here by the wife of a president in office. Despite bungled arrange- ments by Lawrence club women she apparently enjoyed herself. Famed speakers and musicians were brought to the University by the Lec- ture and Concert Courses to add to the cultural opportunities of students. A deplorable number refused to take ad- vantage of these opportunities. Speak- ers with the notable exception of Poet Robert Frost expounded their pet remedies for the world ' s ills. Musicians, without exception, were of the greatest. Those have no regrets who heard the Don Cossack Chorus, Gladys Swarthout, Will Durant, Smedley Butler, Josef Hofmann. One-half of the University ' s dele- gation to the Spanish war returned after the failure of the Loyalist cause. The other half was a boy who lost his life on a Spanish battlefield, and whose Loyalist sympathies precipitated last year ' s Red investigation. This year the special Board of Regents committee found no greater amount of Commu- nist or Fascist activity here than in other large universities. Construction totaling almost three- quarters of a million dollars was begun at the University of Kansas hospitals in Kansas City.

The entire University was plunged into sorrow by the tragic death of three students in an automobile accident, four conventions hit the Campus simul- taneously, a student held briefly the goldfish-gulping championship with 50 fish consumed in eight minutes. Two men had records so much alike that they were both named Honor Man cf 1938, Prof. Kay Kyser overwhelmed the largest crowd ever to attend a University dance. No ordinary year has this been.
