If you ' re new at the art of jellying, your education is sadly lacking if you don ' t have complete knowledge of where to go. The newest place in town for that coke after the show is the Ferry. The food is super, not to speak of the dance floor and a lot of swell tunes on the nickelodeon. Not only does the establishment boast of the best cook in town but it ' s also one of the cleverest in decorations as it resembles the inside of a ship (perhaps the S.S. Relaxation). Drop in and sail around awhile on your next date. You can ' t be here long with- out finding Brick ' s. Most pop- ular during convocations and at dance intermissions, it is the same old Brick ' s, except for the fancy new nickelodeon, which is a lazy man ' s paradise, since you can play your favorite tune without moving from your booth.

We wanted to call his generous eontrihution: From the Horrible Example I you ' ll note his emphasis on that ( . But we decided, after some cogitation, that his em- phasis was a little bit misplaced. Hope he won ' t mind our saying so . . . A pretty serious experiment is In-ill- tried this year around the Jay hawker office. We ' re using stu- dent photographers almost exclu- sively. It wasn ' t our idea, since it increases the editor ' s worries about 100 per cent, not to speak of the strain on the photographers during that particular week before presses start rolling. But Art Wolf has borne up well most of his work is good, and the rest of it positively scintillates. Note especially the cover, those enrollment pictures (p. Ill, the nightshirt parade shots (p. 43 1 , and the personality photo of Barbara Edmonds (p. 50). We ' re thankful, too, that Bert Brandt, honor photographic grad- uate of the 1939 Jayhawker, was around during that first hectic week when girls were rushing. As Acme Ncwspictures photographer (from Kansas City) he was cover- ing typical rush week for na- tional syndication, and be took some candid shots especially for the Jayhatckvr. ( See page 32. ) The vines on the Union Building are a hrilliant crimson now. Mother Nature has rewarded them for taking such faithful care of a thousand of her sparrows this year. Or had you noticed? And the hard maples this year have heen startlingly beauti- ful. Some of them are just changing green at the bottom, slashed through the center with red, crowned with glowing gold. Others are completely arrayed, matchlessly arrayed in a delicate yellow translucence so delicate that one thinks involuntarily of fairies. Have you seen them? Have you seen them, espe- cially, late in the evening, with the slanting sunlight across the treetops in Marvin Grove? Have you? We aren ' t trying to check up on you and make you feel aesthetic really we aren ' t. But they ' re worth looking at. And when it ' s one of those crisp, cool days that simply cry out for the hiker when the swallows call down their farewell as they angle southward in the sky when the squirrels scuttle gaily across the path without so much as a sideward glance- then it almost seems that there is no war in Europe and no hate abroad in the world. It almost seems that men could live with each other in peace and good will yes, even men. Why is it that man, the most richly-endowed of all creatures, is the only creature that bands together in groups to destroy his own race? He verily seems to writhe under Nature ' s bounty. He spends precious time trying to figure out ways of circumvent- ing her generosity. He isn ' t content to accept his share and be grateful for it and rejoice a little in others ' good fortune. (Others ' good fortune? He growls at it!) He goes along the street with his head down, muttering to himself about how bad off he is and how well off somebody else is and it never enters his head to enjoy what he has. What ' s the matter with the creature? You ' d think he had a OCTOBER 1939 continual case of dyspepsia. If he can ' t get mad enough at his neighbors to give him employment for his ugly disposition, he gets together a little army of dissatisfied malcontents to bolster up his limited field of hatred. Then political killing and con- quest only add to his conviction that the world is against him and he determines to annihilate practically everybody. We ' re not saying all this because we ' ve decide this is Utopia after all. Nor are we propagandizing for the privileged classes trying to keep the underprivileged quiet and satisfied. We ' re pretty certain we belong to the latter group anyway. But we do think that a lot of people are missing a lot of good things. They ' re missing them because they won ' t see them. It doesn ' t even take searching just a little more concentrated focus of the light of the body which is the eye. They ' re missing the cheerful brightness of the early-morning sun and the calm midnight brilliance of the Pleiades. They ' re missing the delighted curiosity of a blue-eyed child and the proud look of the fourteen-year-old as he gives up his seat in the street- car. They ' ve forgotten other people and other things outside themselves. Putting themselves in the center of vision has blotted out a great many far more beautiful things things that might brighten up the whole length of the day. It isn ' t particularly anemic or sissified to talk about such things. It ' s simply appreciating the good things around us. Life, after all, is mostly a question of emphasis. We can let the disappointing, bitter feelings predominate or else we can keep track of the other kind. We can pull a Scrooge and grumble all day long, or we can do ourselves some real good by dropping the weight of that sort of thing. That ' s more than practicing hazy Optimism about the future. It ' s simply concentrating on the good things we ' ve already seen and being glad, after all. that such things are possible. The idea is worth the trouble in a purely pragmatic way. as any psychologist will be glad enough to tell you. A person con- scious of the good things, aware of the beautiful things, is more likely to make good use of them. A person lightened of the load of doubts and fears by his concentration on constructive ideals, is a better worker and a happier man. There ' s no doubt at all about that. We ' re putting out a plea, you see, in our fumbling way, for a little more of that simple thing called gratitude. We ' re all fortunate in some ways in a lot of ways. If today is going wrong, yesterday was better and tomorrow is likely to be. We ' ve got a pretty wonderful country to live in and a pretty wonder- ful standard of living and a pretty wonderful school to go to. And whether we express our gratitude to the friend across the hall or say it directly to God, doesn ' t much matter. The important thing, for our own sakes, is to register our apprecia- tion now and then. And after all, come to think about it, the Pilgrims didn ' t have a lot more blessings to get excited about than we have. Ed Garich ' s coverage of boys ' rush week is nothing to sniff at, either. And note those cheer- leader pictures of his on page 59, plus the action shot of Sullivant go- ing over for a touchdown (p. 20) . We don ' t even need to call your attention to Andy Darling ' s draw- ings: they speak for themselves. Here ' s a fellow that can hear an idea, get it, and draw it in prac- tically the same hreath. He ' s re- sponsible for all the column cap- tions, for the pioneer picture, and for that remarkable drawing of the Chancellor. . . . We ' re con- siderably indebted to Don Fitz- gerald, too, for that poignant car- toon on page 36 and to Betsy Dodge for the flustered rushee (p. 33). Frieda Cowles has done a top- notch job of uniting statistical and anecdotal data in her fast-moving review of historical highlights (p. 16) . There ' s an almost unlimited field of interesting details about K.U., contemporary or otherwise, which we mean to exploit further. Agnes Mumert contributes several neatly-handled sidelights in the first edition of a new feature (see page 56) . Do you know any in- teresting stories along such lines? We hope you enjoy our big fresh- man section, including the ob- lique treatment of rush weeks thanks to Betty Coulson, Nancy Kesler, and Bob Hedges for their revealing comments. The pledge pictures are back there somewhere, too or were you interested? For excellence in writing, we further commend Harry Hill ' s Kansan story, Jay Simon ' s article on Gwinn Henry ' s past and present, and Jim Bell ' s notes on spring sports. For importance and time- liness we want to mention the articles on housing and on the air school, by Carter Butler and Mau- rice Jackson, respectively. For beauty of expression, finally, read Gene Ricketts ' descriptive lines on Spooner-Thayer Museum. We think they ' re swell. Editors RICHARD I. rr. .

(Photos by Art Wolj and Ed Garich) I THE OUTSTANDING fact about Deane W. .Mai. -it isn ' t that he ' s tall, dark, and hand- some or that he ' s only 41 years old or that the fraternity hoys called him Skunk when he was a freshman student. The important thing is that he ' s from Kansas. Born and bred in this Mate, schooled on the K.U. campus ilself. he ' s now the ninth Chancellor of Kansas University and the first Chancellor to I Mr those qualifications. You say he ' s spent fourteen years in Harvard and probably has a lot of Eastern ideas? That ' s so much imagination. As logically say that he ' s going to install pineapple-growing here because In- once supervised part of that industry in Hawaii. He does have a lot of ideas and he won ' t hesitate to bring them out for public observation, but they ' ll he down-to-earth ideas that belong in Kansas and are a profit to Kansas. Mr. Malott thinks in terms of Kansas. Granted that it ' s going to be hard for a while, after so many years away. Still, it is all the more his earnest purpose to adapt himself to the needs of his state and his University. Mrs. Malott is the one that might more logically find it hard to adjust herself to new backgrounds. But she isn ' t having any trouble! In fact, she ' s rather enjoying it already. She likes Kansas, she says, though it would be just as well if it got a little cooler. As for the children, they ' re hardly conscious of any transition at all. There ' s still school, you know the reports might be a little different at Cordley grade school, but Edith still uses Daddy ' s encyclopedia and soon there ' ll be music lessons again for all of them. Bob has made a smooth transfer of football loyalties- he ' s on the spot at K.U. varsity practices every afternoon. And one can ' t imagine bright-eyed, bright-haired Janet being very bothered over en- vironmental changes, either. If there ' s any adjustment worry, it ' s tied up with the inevitable: too many people want to see and hear the new Chancellor and his wife. The hundreds-long line at the Faculty Reception was a mere introductory taste. There have been luncheons and dinners and receptions and speeches and meetings and alumni get-togethers uncountable. Besides these, Mrs. Malott has At Li- desk he finds plenty to do to keep him serious . . . hut at the an- nual reception his smile was just as broad at the last as at the first . . . and even eipht or ten speeches a wci-k ran ' t pet him down. ,, by An Wolf) Kansas Man ... a swell fellow and a reasonable sort of fellow, besides ... given lavishly of her own time as chaperon, host- ess, and what-have-you. Both are hoping they can preserve their Sundays as at-home days. Yes, this business of getting acquainted - even the re-acquainted part is a long and sometimes a difficult task. Certainly the manner in which a new Chancellor approaches the proc- ess may bode well or ill for the whole atmosphere of his term to come. But Mr. Malott hasn ' t worried about that he ' s just plunged in with a laugh and had a good time meeting everybody. Result: everybody has enjoyed meeting him. The unanimous verdict has been that he ' s a swell fellow and a reasonable sort of fellow, besides. Reporters find that he talks with them and not at them. He ' s direct, sincere, frank sometimes, perhaps, almost too frank. He is im- patient of ceremony and waste motion wants to be called just plain Mr. Malott, a man who ' s trying to run a university in its own best interests II THE J A V 11 A W K E R to the lxn t uf hi ability.

THE JAY HAWKER (Drawing by Andy Darling t It was in August of 1854 that Charles Robinson and his friends pulled their wagons to a halt on a grass-covered eastern Kansas hill. That flight, sitting around the eanipfire so the legend goes they determined i i things. In the valley helow they would build their town. And on that very hill they would build a college. by FRIEDA COWLES IK EARLY three-quarters of a century has passed || since the doors of Old North College first swung open on September 12, 1866, inviting Kansas youth to enter and receive the wealth that is a university education. For several years prior to this, however, pre- liminary work was done. As early as 1856, Amos A. Lawrence, in whose honor the city of Law- rence was named, requested Charles Robinson to spend some money for him in laying the foundation of a school building on the north point of Mount Oread. In those days of unrest, the state was not yet ready to erect a university. Each in turn, the Presbyterian, the Congrega- tional, and the Episcopal church attempted to establish a school of higher education in Law- rence. A preparatory school was conducted in the basement of the Unitarian church for about three months in 1859, but closed for lack of patronage. Ultimately, the work that the churches accomplished was transferred to the state when a single vote in the state legislature in 1863 HIGHLIGHTS OCTOBER 1939 17 located the University of Kansas at Lawrence. According to its charter, the University was to consist of two branches a male and a female branch. The latter was to be taught exclusively by women and entirely separate from the male branch. Thus it was attempted to prevent ac- quaintanceships that might grow into flirtations. Filled with youthful enthusiasm for their new task, two of the first faculty members, Profes- sors D. H. Robinson and Francis H. Snow came to Lawrence early in September, 1866. After meeting their colleague, Prof. Elial J. Rice, they sought out Chancellor R. W. Oliver, question- ing him concerning the preparations they should make for the opening of the University. He advised them to hire some guns and horses and go back into the hills to hunt prairie chickens. Unable to see the relation between prairie chickens and entrance examinations, they con- sulted Acting President Elial J. Rice. He was engaged in writing a poem which he hoped to be invited to read at the formal dedication of the University the day before school opened. The poem seemed a unique production to the young professors, but unfortunately the dedica- tion program was already complete and the poem went unread. The natal day of the University dawned clear and cool. The faculty went early to Old North College to await the students. Carpenters noisily put finishing touches on the stairs. One by one, young men and women straggled in some walked, those who lived farther away rode on ponies. In all, some fifty-five persons enrolled and were found to be ready for instruction on the high school level. This lack of training was a blow to the enthu- siasm of the young professors. Now they realized that hunting prairie chickens was just as bene- ficial to the opening of the school as the prepara- tion of useless examination questions that could not be used for years. So the University adapted its service to fit the need of the hour and became a preparatory school. Work went on smoothly until spring when, to THE ROLL OF CHANCELLORS Rev. R. W. Oliver 1865-1867 Gen.

Investigation revealed that spring farm work was claiming many scholars while others had contracted spring fever. Personal appeals to students by the faculty resulted in the triumphant closing of the first school year with twenty-two students. Near the close of 1867, Chancellor Oliver resigned his position. His duties had .been to act as financial agent of the University and to pre- side at meetings of the regents and executive committee. He had nothing to do with instruc- tion. Forceful and energetic, Gen. John Fraser followed him in office on June 16, 1868. Gen- eral Fraser taught philosophy as well as attended to administrative duties. At one time during these early years of the University, the only hope for a graduating class for several years to come, lay with four young sophomore women. One of these dropped out to marry, a second was suspected of the same plan in mind, a third was moving to another state and the fourth, unwilling to carry on alone, was con- templating teaching school. Greatly concerned, one of the professors called in the fourth young (Continued on Page 67) OF THREE-FOURTHS OF I (Photo by Hal Branine) After Forty-five Years a a Center of Campus IH tin ini the Chancellor Residence Echoes the Enthusiasm of a New Kind of Student Group Life by CARTER BUTLER r h .

Ideally located and venerably inviting, the house was eagerly eyed last spring as a possible home for the group when the beneficence of the late Mrs. Elizabeth Walking provided a new Chancellor ' s residence. The University author- ities were approached and were finally convinced of the desirability of having the group as tenants, at least for one year. In late July, Karl Klooz, University Bursar, was empowered by Chancellor Malott to rent the house to Mrs. W. J. Wallace, their housemother, for the year 1939-1940. On September first Mrs. Wallace took possession to mark the first change of address of the semi- organized group since its inception seven years ago. The men now occupying the spacious old house are the current edition of the oldest semi-organ- ized group on the Hill. In the fall of 1932 five Suinmerfield Scholars, urton Power, ' 33, Rich- ard Porter, ' 34, Robert Ganoung, ' 34, Chevey White, ' 35, and Waldo Shaw, ' 35, conceived of the idea of semi-organization as the solution to their own particular living problems. Dissatis- fied with the usual one-room-and-a-bed existence of the average boarding-house and unable to bear the financial burden of fraternity life, these men sought a living arrangement that would combine the inexpensiveness of the one with some of the social advantages of the other. They wanted a house which they could use like a real home, with a housemother who would be more than just a landlady. During the fall of 1932 they scoured Lawrence looking for a house that would suit their needs and a woman who would act as housemother. It was a slow and discouraging task, but they finally found what they wanted in the person of Mrs. W. J. Wallace and the one-time Theta Annex at 1011 Indiana. After some negotiations, they con- ( Continued on Page 81) ...what did OCTOBER 1939 19 Self Supporting Students Take the Bull by the Horns And Establish Their Own Co-Op Thirty-three cents a day for food. That ' s not the beginning of a background story of slum conditions at K.U. Quite the contrary. It describes the start of a student war against those very slum conditions. The girls have been doing it for a dozen years cooking and buying their own food, cleaning their own rooms, governing themselves at Wat- kins and later at Miller Hall. But it wasn ' t the University ' s fault. It was Mrs. Elizabeth Watkins that gave them the start and the support. Be it noted, too, that the Endowment Association sponsored some cooperative houses for girls even before Mrs. Watkins ' first dormitory gift in 1926. Independent men students on the Hill have always had a sneaking feeling that the University was never going to help them out on the housing que stion. Not that the University was deaf to their needs. It was the controllers of state funds that seemed to be indifferent to facts, figures, embarrassing comparisons with other state schools, and factual descriptions of boys living in six-foot, dirt-floor rooms. And so, finally, it happened. The right men got together with the right sort of determination and decided to do the job themselves. A group of Methodist students under Dr. Edwin F. Price made the first definite plans. The movement soon enlarged, however, and the de- nominational idea was dropped. They studied estimates of expenditures and budgets until they were weary, and came to the conclusion that there was nothing very visionary about it: by doing their own work they could furnish housing and board plus that intangible thing called fellowship for $17 a month. Why not? Other universities were doing it the University of Washington to the tune of half the student-body. They elected officers. Gerald Fiedler was chosen president, Stafford Ruhlen vice-president, Don DeFord secretary, and Kermit Franks treas- urer-buyer-manager. They prevailed upon John J. O. Moore, Y.M.C.A. secretary, and Mrs. Moore to stay at the house and act as sponsors. And then they rented the house at 1614 Kentucky Street decided to call it the Jayhawk Co-op. Each member agreed to deposit $20 for the purchase of furniture and equipment. By some miracle of marketing (and a few small gifts of cash and furniture from interested townspeople ) (Continued on Page 80) HOUSING FOR MEN The local authorities have heen shaking their heads over the housing problem for some years now in fact, housing for men has been a good, solemn discussion-subject for a couple of decades. Yet the first sign of a serious project in this direc- tion came only last year. Dean Olin Templin, secre- tary of the Endowment Association, decided some- tiling had to be done. He announced the beginning of an actual drive for funds to refurbish the old Acacia House, rechristen it Alumni Place, and give it to the University as a home for self-supporting men students. There has never been any doubt about the need for such a house. There has never been any doubt that it could be successful. At present there is some doubt about the outcome of the search for funds. But the project must surely go through. The question is when? It is interesting to note that at the same time the Alumni Place idea was coming to a head, individual students were taking things into their own hands fumblingly, but practically thinking in terms of dollars and cents thinking in terms of immediate action. This fall that project turned into a reality. You ' ll find it at 1614 Kentucky, under the name of the Jayhawk Co-op. Again, it is interesting to note that in the field of moderate-priced housing, also, students have had to show the University how. This is the eighth year of existence of the semi-organized house, a system of living inaugurated on the K.U. campus at 1011 Indiana by a group of Summerfield Scholars. These two healthy experiments are described in detail on these two pages. We hope that Mr. Templin brings them to the attention of Mr. Paul Endacott, the Alumni Association ' s president. And we hope Mr. Malott shows them to Mr. J. C. Denious and Mr. Buell Scott of the Kansas Senate and House respec- tively. For these are proofs on a small scale of what the University can do far better on a large scale. These serve 40 men. Non-fraternity men on the Hill number 2,000. you say about a lousing problem!

IF GWINN HENRY ever de- cides to quit coaching foot- hall, he will have no trouhle locating a joh. Tomorrow morn- ing he could walk into the office of any telephone executive or hooking agent in the country and he hired on the spot as a trouhle shooter or a magician. From the time Henry started coaching hack in ' 11 until he was hrought to Mt. Oread to put some oomph in Jayhawker ath- letics and later the athletes themselves, the mastermind of the gridiron has heen continu- ally patching up hroken-down systems or, to coin a phrase, pulling rahhits out of hats. When the Kansas athletic de- partment was in the process of reorganization in 1937, those in charge hunted a long time to locate a man whom they thought capahle of huilding up a sports program of which the students and the alumni of the Univer- sity could be proud. Henry was finally chosen and he immedi- ately began to put the depart- ment on a sound footing. Last winter when it was de- cided to make a change in the football coaching staff Henry seemed to be the logical choice. But before the task could be placed on the capable shoulders of this man, two things had to be accomplished. First, Henry himself had to be persuaded to come out of his self-imposed shell of retirement from active coaching, and second, the Board of Regents had to be induced to rescind its ruling that the direc- tor of athletics at the University could not coach. Sentiment was Thin Yvnr ' s Future May Still Look Doubttut But the 1 iiinn Henry Record Hints at Surprises to Come OCTOBER 1939 21 so overwhelmingly in favor of Mr. Henry that both obstacles were soon removed. The new Jayhawker mentor fell heir to the remnants of a club that finished in the cellar of the Big Six conference last year. Only a few sophomores possessing varsity potentialities are lending a hand in the process of reconstruction. The toughest opponents in the league have improved consid- erably over last season. Yet Henry has set himself to the task with a right good will and is fashioning a football machine that is catching the fancy of the fans. It is a team capable of reeling off long and thrilling touchdown maneuvers from any spot on the field. All Henry lacked in winning his first contest as a Kansas coach was a pass that slipped through the fingers of a lone (Photo by Art Wall) Football Gray-Matter: Reading from left to right are Vic Hurt, Harry Lansing, and Gwinn Henry, the guiding hands of this year ' s Jayhawker grid machine.

His Crimson and Blue club did itself proud in smash, ing over two quick touchdowns against Iowa State and otherwise outplaying the Cyclones throughout the game. But be- fore saying more about Henry ' s doings on Mt. Oread, let us gaze back over the past and consider some of the things that have led sports writers and observers to tag him as one of the craftiest mentors in the business. Gwinn started his coaching career in 1911 at Oklahoma Baptist University and after staying there two years returned to his alma mater, Howard Payne college, to coach during 1913-14-15. The school year of 1916-17 found Henry at the Georgia Military school as track coach, then he returned to Howard Payne to finish work on his degree. This set the stage for his first step up the ladder of coaching greatness. College of Emporia brought him to this sector in 1918 and from the very start he began producing sensational teams. In five years at Emporia, his Presbyterian elevens drop- ped only three games. C. of E., during the Henry administra- tion, was one of the most feared of all the smaller colleges. This marvelous record gave Gwinn Henry his chance in the big time coaching racket when Missouri lured him to Columbia in 1923 to begin tutoring its sons of the gridiron. After a medi- ocre season in which he built foundations for great teams, Henry got his Tigers rolling in high gear. In 1924 and the next three years Missouri stacked up 25 victories, lost only 6 games, and tied 3. The Bengals won the Big Six championship three times out of four in this span and outside the loop chalked up triumphs over Northwestern, THE JAYHAWKER Chicago, and VtV t Virginia, among other , in atlilition to ty- ing T u 1 a n and Southern Methodist Nebraska ' scarlet horde had been the bane of the Tigers ' existence before Henry went to Columbia, but he ended that in a hurry. In his first year at M.U. the Tiger tied the Huskers and three of the next four seasons found them winning from the Lincoln lads. The Cornhuskers thumped the Notre Dame team that boasted the famous Four Horsemen and they downed Il- linois when Red Grange was on the loose, but they rould not beat Henry ' s Missouri teams. After winning the conference title in 1927. the Tigers tied for second with Oklahoma in 1928 and took undisputed runnerup honors in 1929. During the fol- lowing two seasons Henry was struck down witli illness and could be with his teams only a part of the time. Missouri lost as many games during those two years as it had in the previous seven campaigns under Henry. In 1931 the Tigers dropped eight out of ten and that brought an end to the nine-year Gwinn Henry regime at Missouri. For two years Henry was out of the game regaining his health, but in the fall of 1933 he donned the moleskins aguin to take over the head coaching duties for the St. Louis Gunners, an independent professional outfit. The Gunners were given no consideration at all in pre- season dope, but Henry put his football magic to work and the Gunners astounded everyone by roaring through a 16 - game schedule with only two defeats. They topped off the season by tying the Chicago Bears, na- tional professional champions. After a year at St. Louis Henry returned to the South- west, the great open spaces where he spent his youth. He went to the University of New Mexico as director of athletics and head football coach. In his three years there before c oming to Kansas, Henry met with much success, winning the Bor- der conference championship his first season at Albuquerque. Not only can Henry teach other men to excell in athletics, he was a champion himself. During his undergraduate days at Howard Payne Gwinn was an all-star end on the football team and a crack baseball player, but on the track he fairly scintil- lated. He ran the 100-yard dash in 9.6 seconds, the 220 in 21.2, threw the discus 145 feet, and put the shot 42 feet, all of these performances being Texas rec- ords. In 1910 and 1911 Henry ran for the Irish-American athletic club of New York, where he set a world record for the 125-yard dash at 12.2 seconds and equalled the world records of 10.8 for the 110-yard dash and 7.4 for 75 yards indoors.

FRESHMAN, in 1886 I was imbedded in the last quarter of the Nineteenth Century. K.U. had three buildings, then, Eraser Hall, a Chemistry building which is now the Journalism Building, and Snow Hall, since torn down which was formally dedicated in the early part of my Freshman year. The Law School was just moving out of the old North College building a quarter of a mile north of Eraser Hall. We had less than 500 students. I knew every man Jack of them and most of the Jills. I have my Freshman picture now, a long-necked, pimply-faced boy with browning red hair, milk eyes and a tremulous chin. In order to brace myself up, I wore a white hat and as a tiepin a rather large gold bull ' s head with chip diamond eyes, and the flashiest clothes I could buy in the home-town clothing store. It took me six months to worm my way into a fraternity by making love to the blackballs. But I had not been on the campus two weeks until I broke into the Weekly Courier- there was no daily with a protesting communication which I signed Herr Most, the name of a famous contemporary anarchist. The com- mujiication put the arrow over me as I walked my humble Freshman way. After I got into the Phi Delt Fraternity, I began to go extra-curricular pretty heavily. Like a fool I broke with my home-town girl and was stepping out. I picked the Pi Phi ' s as the most likely lot of ladies and walked in. By the next year I was saturated with campus politics and before the year was out had been elected to various trustee jobs in campus organizations. I seemed to be born for backstairs politics. Inci- dentally before I quit school, I had been business manager of the Lilerary Review and editor-in-chief of the Annual. I merely mention these things as a horrible example. I was so everlastingly extra curricular that I could not graduate and quit in my Senior year to avoid the embar- rassment of failure. I often wish I had had the benefit of a college education instead of four jears of outside acti vity and a desultory course of reading which made me familiar with most of the books in the little old University Library. How I read ! I cut classes to read. And now after fifty years of the hor- rible example, my message to Freshmen is this: Go to school for your education. Have your fun later. The girls are a delight! Football is a wow! The Fraternity is swell! Massachusetts Street is a pageant of joy! Kansas City is sumpin! But don ' t forget that you are there to learn all you can that ' s in the books. I, who took the other road, greet you as a horrible example. I know how you feel, you poor long-necked, pimply-faced, freckled, milk-eyed, gangly-legged shadows of the boy that was in that Fall of 1886!

Some not-exactly-timid souls might well have been scared out of the whole idea of attending college when they received a little yellow folder last August called Program for Freshmen and New Students. The whol e thing must have seemed pretty confusing almost terrifying when viewed in prospect. But in retrospect, the poor freshman can prob- ably say he ' s a better man for it. That first week of school is an education in itself. The Uni- versity planned it that way. After all, any Great Adventure requires some kind of adjustment beforehand. And we dare any senior to deny that college is one of the biggest adventures of all. Freshman Week is supposed to aid in that ad- justment. The Freshman Counsellor system, for instance, was the chance for groups of younger men to meet an older one and ask him questions. And this contact didn ' t stop after Friday, Septem- ber 15 the counsellor still stands ready to help and advise. The women met in a large group in the ball- room the same day. Then, that evening, everyone gathered in the auditorium to hear Chancellor Malott ' s first address to University students. Next day the dizziest part of the round began, with psychological exams to wrestle with in the morning, registration immediately after and con- tinuing through the day (and on and on), physi- cal exams that might come any time during the day, and a sort of tense relaxation at the free Jayhawk Nibble in the evening. Sunday brought Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. recep- tions and more or less of a day of rest. Monday morning brought meetings of freshmen by schools, with the College meeting in Fraser; Mon- till- new fill- dent, of 1939 -I. i nd on tin- rile if ( )| 1 North ( ' .ollepe. the - iiil.ul of knowl- edge leaps liun- i;ril -k vt.ud.

And that evening everybody adjourned to North College Hill (near Corbin Hall) to be inducted.

Most of them just a little frightened. They remembered the rushing rules of the Women ' s Pan Hellenic council vaguely as a printed white pamphlet which they had read but never understood.

How about the National Honor Society pin . . . should it be worn? What to do in case of a hot box ' ? Then there was the rush meeting scene : Weary girls in shorts, smoking, bickering, arguing, cajoling to get favorites within or lock unwanted ones without the sacred walls of sororityship . . . conversations with members of rival houses concerning chances with prospective pledges . . . losing sleep, losing weight, losing mind. Thus Monday and Tuesday passed to be fol- lowed by Wednesday with preferential dinner acceptances and rejections, unsuspected bumps unfelt in the general fatigue. Then came the preferential banquet itself, magnificently cloaked in new fall formals, fancy hair-do ' s, and expen- sive flowers. At last it all ended in a minor key. Bids were issued, bags were moved in, and pledges and actives settled down to a practical getting- acquainted process stripped of all farce and pretense. Betty Coulson.

OCTOBER 1939 35 A hive of bees moved in on the Acacia house this summer and caused the boys some trouble buzzing around during rush week. Maybe they found the situation convenient for putting the bee on the boys. Which leads to the unfortunate possibility that they were stung before rush week even ended. (Pretty painful punishment, eh?) To favored ones rush week presents the dif- ficult problem of trying to get out of certain houses into others. This problem is more trying for boys than for girls. One feminine prize, though, having succeeded in reaching the front porch of a mansion suddenly realized she had left her hat in the inner sanctuaries. Distrusting her luck the second time she silently bade good-bye to the hat and left bareheaded. Some boys have to take more drastic measures to exit from frater- nity domains. One rushee being in enemy terri- tory and unable to enlist the aid of his favorite fraternity, had to accept a pledge button till he was past the front door. An incident that didn ' t increase the Phi Psis ' love for the Betas occurred one bright morning as the Psis were breakfasting with their rushees. In strode several Beta alums and, after a few guarded words to three neophytes from Hutch- inson, escorted the trio to a more private spot on the front lawn where they all but hot-boxed the bewildered rushees. The Acacias thought they had one in the bag when they grabbed a prominent faculty member ' s four years had a pledge button in his pocket when he started through the mill. Then he ended up at the A T O house, settled down for a four year hike, and sent the pledge button back up on the Hill. Then there was the Pi Phi spike that thought the girls were fine and was making luggage arrangements when she went out with a couple of other Pi Phi prematures. After a coke and some chatter she decided that Gower was the Place for her and proceeded to snap up a Kappa bid. Another reason for keeping new pledges under cover. The old long-distance phone call dodge so often used to get men out of a tight house during rush week was worked to perfection by the Phi Gams this last trip. Instead of having the housemother or some young lady with right number please inflection the boys managed to get the real long distance operator to call the 25 men or bust Sigma Chi house and tell an unsuspecting youngster that his mother was very ill and he was to go home immediately. The lad was in an understandable lather and just about to step on the train, grip in hand, when the Gams grabbed him and whisked him home with them. To prove how relieved he was to find the call was a phoney, he pledged Phi Gam. Nasty trick, but very effective. Also it shows what you can do if you know the right telephone operators.

The boy had failed to keep a first date, however, and was pulled back into the merry- go-round sans swim, sans escort of five, sans pledge button.

OCTOBER 1939 43 Snake-Dance, Bonfire, and Cider NIGHTSHIRT MARCH SHOWED USUAL COLOR RUT NO CLIMAX Over a quarter century of tradition was upheld another year when K.U. ' s wildly dressed nightshirt troupers screamed through Lawrence streets on Oc- tober 6, eve of the first home football game. Every available male fresh- man on the Hill and not a few of the upper-classmen who most appreciate a good riot bedecked themselves in as many varieties of sleeping garb as could be imagined (most of which, strange to say, were pajamas) and for a single evening stam- peded down Massachusetts Ave- nue in their full glory. Far changed were the colorful cos- tumes displayed on this night from the long flannel night- shirts that adorned the paraders in the early days of the tradi- tional celebration. Prior to the nightshirt pa- rade, the flying squadrons composed of Ku Ku ' s and K- men, each well equipped with a paddle, visited every rooming house and fraternity on the hill just to assure themselves that no one escaped. Woe be unto the poor freshman caught shining his shoes in his room in gleeful anticipation of the Pi Phi or Gamma Phi open house. Nocturnal regalia of every type was herded into parade formation in front of the Union building. Rose-covered pa- jamas, towels, shorts all started on the long jaunt, eight By DICK OLIVER (Photos by Art Wolf) abreast down Indiana to Sixth, thence to Massachusetts Ave- nue. The ever-vigilant Ku Ku ' s and K-men kept insubordinate frosh on the move with whole- hearted swats aimed at the most vulnerable spots. Delays were frequent but brief as the marchers staged sit-downs, partly to rest, but mainly to test the paddle wielding skill of their directors. Occasionally a wild-eyed frosh would run to- ward some unfortunate car parked on the streets with shouts of, Come on, fellows! Let ' s turn it over! Then fol- lowed a bouncing which would try the best of automobiles. The ardor of such uprisings as well as the downsitting s was quickly dampened by the Ku Ku paddles. (Continued on Page 74) Student pilots have thus far used parachutes only as cushions. Seven thirty a.m. is an un- godly hour. But there are stu- dents here at the great Uni r- -ity of Kansas, who for the sake of learning and knowledge, arise five days in the week in time I we hope ) to attend such an early meeting. They are the enrollees in the ground school of the student pilot training course being of- fered for a second time at the University this fall. The class is held in Marvin and includes the study of air navigation, and principles of flight. Howard Henry, an instructor in mechan- ical engineering, has charge of the class. Not only does a course in ground training come with the $40 fee hut life insurance and 35 to 50 hours of free flight training paid for by the govern- ment. The student cannot start his actual flying until he has had two weeks of ground work. Then for the first 12 weeks a schedule will be drawn up whereby each student will have 3 half-hour lessons per week. which was given for many schools. Prof. Hay believes that the war situation in Europe has acted to discourage some, and it is probable that others did not try out again because of failure in previous physical examina- tions. Of the 105 who turned in their applications about 75 passed the preliminary physical examination. This is an excel- lent percentage and it looks as though the minimum of 50 will be reached, but a number of those passing the first test will fail on the final physical exam. Many students and especially parents think that the civilian pilot training course is con- nected with the country ' s mili- tary forces. Even after author- ities had declared that there is no connection between the two, many persons got the idea that in case the United States enters a war, the student pilots would be hustled into an air- plane and sent to the front. This is true only to the extent that a soldier with air training might be assigned to an airplane just as one who could drive an auto- mobile would be assigned to a tank. The training has even been made available to women. Ten per cent of the students at co- mw Former Local Boys Make Good and Field But Physical Exams and War After that he will he entitled to 2 one-hour lessons a week. But what ' s wrong with K.U. students? They have an oppor- tunity to learn to pilot an air- plane - the transportation of the future - and only a few of them have taken advantage of it. Professor Earl D. Hay, in charge of the C. A. A. - spon- sored student - training course, expected at least 300 applica- tions when school started this fall. The actual response was so poor that the Civil Aeronautics Authority set a minimum for Kansas instead of a maximum, educational schools may be women and there are also sev- eral women ' s colleges which have been granted the course. Two K.U. coeds, Helen Hay and Alys Magill, have passed the preliminary physical exams and probably will pass the final ones. Last semester K.U. had the second-best record of any of the 13 colleges and universities of- fering the course. The Univer- sity was second to Purdue in the rapidity of completion of the course and percentage of students graduating. Authorities complimented K.U. on the high quality of pilots who were grad- uated. Several of last year ' s class of 20 have continued their interest in aviation. During the summer Russell Chitwood, Daryl Wag- ner, Paul Marriott, Tom Gray- bill and James Tharp went to Seattle, Wash., and there at- tended the United States sea- plane training school. Two men who took the K.U. Course have been admitted to the Navy air training school in Pensacola, Fla. Bob McLeod and Tom Graybill were able to pass the stiff examinations and are now taking the advanced course in aviation offered there. by MAURICE JACKSON Photos by Bert Brandt Upon graduation they will be commissioned second lieuten- ants in the United States Navy. Before going to Pensacola Mc- Leod spent a few weeks in Kan- sas City taking the preliminary training and passed in record time. Last year 330 young men were given aviation training in the United States. This year President Roosevelt wanted the number increased to 20,000. The Civil Aeronautics Author- ity asked Congress for 15,000. TOPS K.D. CURRICULA Air Commerce Seems an Inviting Scares Prevent Large Enrollment Finally 11,000 was decided upon and these are being trained in more than 300 col- leges in the country. Last year K.U. was the only school in this territory offering the course. This year there are eleven schools in the state of Kansas alone which will have a civilian pilot training course. In most of these the number of ap- plicants was many times more than the students who could be trained. Arrangements have even been made whereby the ground course can be taken by correspondence. This shows to what extent the course is really a civilian course and not a mili- tary one not even exclusively student in character. With a fine record such as last year ' s it seems that something should be done to maintain it. It appears that unless students show more enthusiasm over this unusual opportunity our record will be lowered and the school will be taken from K.U. THE JAY HAWKER T (Photos by Art Wolf I Above: This is the News Desk that fabulous place over which passes all the daily details of campus life. Copyreaders are at right, the afternoon ' s Simon Leprec (news editor) is at left, the editor herself is in consultation, and the society editor (extreme left) wait despondently for the telephone to ring. The sports editor ' s desk can ' t be seen, but he ' s probably off watching varsity practice, anyway. Below: These are the men that turn words into cold steel, jam them into the columns, and try to make them fit. by HARRY HILL HEY are the journalists. They don ' t wear green shirts; they don ' t carry canes. Their only distinguishing marks are a sleepy, drowsy look that comes from late hours spent fighting dead- lines, and an inability to make classes especially eight-thirties. Their home is the Shack. Their bed, quite often, is a copy desk. Frequently their luncheon date is a typewriter. Instead of bugs or bones or slide rules, copy paper fills their pockets. The University Daily Kansan is their Bible. More than a date they love a good story. More than Hitler they hate being scooped. Better than a jam session they like a red hot scrap. They prize a snappy lead more than an A-plus exam. In their language, punch is what you put into a headline. Aside from these slightly screwballish ten- dencies, the journalists are normal students. Once as freshmen they were almost sane, sensible individuals. But the characteristics they have in common with the average student aren ' t impor- tant. Neither are the goofy aspects of their daily doings. Why do sober, self-respecting students adopt such a hectic pattern for their college days? Why do they give up grades and dates and sleep to provide less ambitious or perhaps less crazy Mount Oread with something to spill its morn- ing coffee on? The answer to these questions is really a thrill- ing almost romantic story. It can ' t be told in words; it has to be lived. It ' s not like merely get- ting yourself arrested to find out how a convict feels. Before you can know it you must experi- ence it and want to experience it. Look at some of those who wanted to. Editor-in-Chief Marilyn McBride is engaged to be married. Her ringmaster is in California. But her days aren ' t spent writing sweet words of love. She devotes a daily four hours to her job of directing the Kansan ' s editorial page. An unusual knack for spotting campus trends and an understanding interest in world affairs par- ticularly fit her for that. But it was the semester THIS III MM ss OF SUPPLYING K.IJ. NEWS IMPLIES MOKE THAN MERE MECHANICS OCTOBER 1939 47 A dame of Work-Up-With A Purpose as associate editor and many days of hard work on the society desk that won her the editorship. Managing Editor Stewart Jones has done al- most everything but empty the Kansan ' s waste- baskets. Before he was chosen to head the news department, he had shown during four semesters of conscientious work as rewrite ed itor, wire editor and campus editor a sincere interest in the Kansan. That was his ticket to the top spot. Roderick Burton is a Summerfield scholar and a math major. But he spends more time on his two positions (news editor and chairman of the Kansan Board) than he does at algebraic analy- sis. An ex-editor, he still willingly volunteers his help. Reggie Buxlon, once an economics student, is now on his way up in journalism. As a reporter he proved his dependability and desire to help, soon jumped from nothing to news editor. He now doubles as make-up editor and Shinster. Jim Bell, who signs his home address as Demonstration, Baguio, Philippines, and Dale Heckendorn, of Newton, Kansas the campus editors; Walt Meininger, Sunday editor; Eliza- beth Kirsch, secretary of the Kansan Board; Clavelle Holden, sports editor all have similar stories behind them. For every Kansan staff member deserves equally the position he holds; every journalist, from the editor down to the cobbiest cub, gets just what he works for no more. Like sandlot baseball, it amounts to no more than a game of workup. Although the Kansan is entirely a student paper, written, edited, governed by University of Kansas undergraduates, other persons con- tribute importantly to its publication: Prof. L. N. Flint and his department of journalism fac- ulty; Bill Jensen, laboratory supervisor; and Guy Pennock ' s back shop force. Underneath it all, the Kansan is a tradition, firmly rooted by nearly 28 years of service as a student daily. Its most sincere efforts are di- rected toward the betterment of student life at K.U. If it has a platform the progress of the University stands at the top. This, perhaps, is partly a selfish purpose. Because in its peculiar position as a student publication, the Kansan stands to profit proportionately as the school it represents improves. But by this dedication to service for the Uni- versity, the Kansan does not subjugate its long- established belief in independence. Serving as a training ground for future leaders of news- papers, both in this state and in the nation, the Kansan is deeply obligated to induce and main- tain in its editors and reporters the American traditions of freedom of opinion. Thus, then is its dual responsibility to the University as an institution and to the students themselves, fulfilled. This is a kind of work that provides real inspiration for all who take part. Like excitement? Like thrills? Romance? Glamor? If you do, don ' t catch the next train for (Continued on Page 74) Dawn is really the only thing that breaks on the Hill without being covered by Kansan reporters. For while that ' s happening the News Room stands empty and journalists get their few hard-earned hours of sleep. rAMPl ' S PKRKOX ALITIES (Photo by An Hull I m HILL By Harry Hill, c ' 40, has appeared in the Daily Kansan perhaps more than any other by- line. Certainly it is the best known for the well-written, interpretative, and sometimes sensa- tional stories that have appeared under it. Harry Hill himself is almost as well-known as his by-line. Aside from his journalistic honors which range from the Sigma Delta Chi presidency to the William Schott journalism award to a most promising junior he is a member of the I.S.A., of the Pachacamac party, and he ' s been on the Relays Committee, the Forums Board, and Owl Society. What ' s more, last month he tried out for the Glee Club and was immediately snatched up as a first tenor. But Harry Hill now a Lawrence citizen, in earliest days a citizen of Chile is first and last a journalist, whatever he may be in-between. He has held practically every job on the Kansan and he can do every job on the Kansan from writing editorials and headlines to putting the type in the page form. Interested in make-up, he is forever trying to make the Kansan more attractive to the eye by sweeping type arrange- ments and dazzling, boldfaced headlines. Harry Hill is a Kansan institution. He is, without apology for the pun, truly a Hill per- sonality. Roderick Burton.

This economics major, last year was business manager of the I.S.A., debated against Dart- mouth, won a radio speaking contest and, in- cidentally, was nominated for president of the Men ' s Student Council. John has worked his way through school one hundred per cent. This senior hails from Kansas City, Kansas, where he attended Wyandotte High School. There he belonged to the Forensic Society and National Honor Society ; was active in dramatics, president of the Senior class and editor of the school paper. John professes indifference to women, but still he talks about his ideal, who, as well as being comely, must possess deftness along the line of repartee and have a sense of humor. He plays pingpong, tennis, touch football; likes horse- shoes, picnics and milk. Is an orthodox Republi- can of the old school. In the fistic art of combat he won a trophy once. Dreams about: Going to South America; the new era when men ' s dormi- tories will be an actuality; the time when the I.S.A. will have a private office, complete with phone and plush-covered seat ; and the day when there ' ll be a world ' s fair at Kansas City.

That ' s natural for Barbara Edmonds; she ' s so inter- ested in people it is impossible for anyone near her to In- anything but a friend. Just by being natural she accomplishes what others all too often find very difficult she is popular alike with men and with women. The former flock around on all social occasions; the latter have chosen her as member of the W.S.G.A. council and president of their Pan-Hellenic Council. A sociology major, she cannot decide whether she would rather be a case worker or a radio singer. A a Hill musician she is prominent, popular, and versatile. She has sung with By- som ' s band and is now with Clyde Smith ; on the other side, she has several years ' experience with the Westminister Choir and Women ' s Glee Club to her credit. Add to these the Alpha Delta Pi trio, music chairmanship of Kappa Phi church sorority, and even a super ior rating on the double bass while in Lawrence High School, and you get one answer: Barb not only likes music, but she is good at it. Yes, a freshman stag at the Alpha Delta Pi open house expressed a general sentiment when he said, Where ' s Barbara Edmonds? There ' s one girl I want to be sure to meet! Bob Hedges. CAMPUS PERSONALITIES (Photo by An Wall) LEO .iiiiivvnm: Musicales and pool tables, art exhibits and dances, bridge tournaments and chess matches are all the care of Leo Johnstone, student man- ager of the Memorial Union Building. Assign- ments and deadlines, proofreading and original- ity for four issues of the Kansas Engineer are the worry of Leo Johnstone, editor. Graduated from high school in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, in 1936, Leo came to K.U. ambitious to carry on his activities in football, basketball, and track. But a bad shoulder received in spring practice his freshman year abruptly changed all such plans. So he ' s concentrated on other things and now bears the keys of Sigma Tau, Tau Beta Pi, Owl Society, Sachem, and the Men ' s Student Council as well as a big blue K. A pet peeve : The high cost of such honor societies. An expanding horizon is the keynote of Leo ' s college career: It constantly encompasses more and more things. Activity is his main objective; just-getting-by his principal abhorrence. You can tell that by the grades he makes in spite of countless outside hours of waiting tables. As a petroleum engineer this Beta Theta Pi hopes some day to be in business for himself. In the meantime he will be willing to work for some oil corporation, having had some experi- ence with Phillips of Bartlesville, naturally. Just at present he hopes that you will find the Union Building entertaining and accommodat- ing and the Kansas Engineer entertaining and instructive. Bob Hedges. N. W.

Do you ever wonder how .your home-town paper finds out the things you have heen doing at K.U.? Ray Heady, new director of the K.U. News Bureau and journalism instructor, has as one of his many duties the spreading of news of the University to the four corners of the state. A native of Pittshurg, Kansas, Mr. Heady received his A.B. from the Pittsburg State Teachers College. Upon gradua- tion he began teaching journalism in the Junction City high school; from there he went to Pittsburg high and finally to Wyandotte. After three successful years at Wyandotte he came to the Uni- versity to succeed the late Professor W. A. Dill. His youth, new ideas, and en- thusiasm for his work have made him popular in his former posi- tions and already they are carving a distinct place for him on the University faculty. Although work docs command a great amount of his time, Mr. Heady gives no little attention to his family, sports and hobbies. Like several other faculty members his favorite sport is fish- ing, and to quote him, I would rather spend my vacation on the litmk of some stream with a rod and line than any other way I can think of.

This Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Yale is typical of New England and has retained char- acteristic qualities of dignity, in- telligence, and quiet charm. Vitally interested in tilings liter- ary, this Connecticut Yankee has. besides distinguishing himself as an outstanding teacher, gained rec- ognition as a poet, author, and critic. His first love: his students, particularly K.U. students, whom he believes to be friendly, intel- ligent, and eager to learn, though less well read than his Yale class- mates. Professor Johnson ' s ability as a poet was first recognized when lie was awarded the Cooke Poetry Prize while a graduate student at Yale. Since, he ' s authored four books and innumerable poetic works. One of his poems has been recognized by the Yale Literary Magazine as one of the best works from 1836 to 1936. A staunch believer in travel, Prof. Johnson has made no less than four trips to Europe hob- nobbing with such men of litera- ture as Hardy, Yeats, and Russ.-ll. Still, as a Yankee, he believes that New England is God ' s country and returns every summer. Dick Oliver. 000 r 1 The anxiety which all his stu- dents felt lor his safe return from warring Europe in September, attests the genuine popularity of Otto Springer, head of the depart- ment of Germanic languages. Born in the Black Forest region; and educated at the Universities of Ber- lin, Tuehingen, and London, and the University of Uppsala in Sweden; Dr. Springer received his Ph.D. in 1927 from Tuebinger. In 1930 for the first time, he came to the United States as an exchange professor at Howard University in Washington, D. C. W h i 1 e at Wheaton College in Massachusetts he met Anne Breuer, also a native German teaching in America; and together they came to Kansas in 1936. Dr. Springer ' s greatest interest lies in his two young sons, Wolf- gang Ernst, who speaks either deutsch or English; and Hans Ulrich. A former member of the German Who ' s Who in Litera- ture, he has gained wide recog- nition for his translations and his scholarly dissertations on philol- ogy. Among his students however, his brisk step and breathless guten morgen are daily preludes to a lively and informal hour. A seasoned traveler is this brilliant educator who has crossed the At- lantic twelve times since 1930. While he would make no com- ment on the situation overseas, Dr. Springer expressed the extent of his feelings for this university by his confession that, during his first days abroad this summer, he was truly homesick for K.U. Agnes Betty Strachan. OTTO SPRINGER As a boy he didn ' t finish the eighth grade but as a man he is president of K.U. ' s Phi Beta Kap- pas. Domenico Gagliardo, born in a mining family of southeastern Kansas, left grade school to be- come a miner. Five years later he tried school again, this time going thru high school in three years. Then the navy took him away as a radio operator. Finally he came to K.U. Three years later, in 1922, he was graduated at the exact top of the school of business. After a master ' s degree at Harvard, he re- turned to Lawrence to stay and to work. As a teacher, Gagliardo takes his work seriously he tries to lead his students to think. From his point of view, the student who goes thru a course without think- ing something out for himself is usually wasting t i m e. Conse- quently his classes are as informal and personal as the subject at band permits. Gagliardo ' s work consists simply of a full teaching schedule, seven faculty committees, research, book- writing, keeping up in bis subjects, assisting in the management of the economics department, and caring for a wife and three children. Sometime, however, he hopes to find time to return to his old hobby of toy making. Robert Hedges. DOMENICO GAGLIARDO Franklin Roosevelt is my name. What ' s yours? So started Robert Davis ' acquaintanceship with the future President of the United States in History 13 at Harvard. Both completed their college course in 1904 Dr. Davis finish- ing his in three years. However, Dr. Davis prefers to reminisce about his students here at K.U. and those at the Southern California and Idaho law schools. After five years as dean of the K.U. law school, Dr. Davis is now a professor, teaching Contracts and Equity. His A.B. degree came from Har- vard in 1905, and his highest de- gree in law in 1928. There was a teaching fellowship and graduate study at Chicago and Yale Uni- versities. Dr. Davis is one of the best informed men on the Hill in the field of international relations and is a regular contributor to law journals and world affairs maga- zines. A firm believer in the Constitu- tion as the rock of democracy, Dr. Davis could inspire the most apa- thetic American. He will tell you that his hobby is golf, but he pre- fers to talk about his aviator son, who is in the Civil Aeronautical Authority. From a modest office next to the law library, Dr. Davis administers smiling advice, hope, and encour- agement to K.U. ' s lawyers the door to this office is always open. Mary Frances McAnaw. R. M. DAVIS ( Photos by Art Wait) The building which we know as Spooner- Thayer is forty-five years old this year, a fact as patent to the observant eye as the red sandstone owl which adorns the peak of the facade. The age is apparent, not because of general appear- ance ( for the solid Romanesque structure has wea thered well), but because of the inscription carved, like the owl, in the red stone which em- bellishes the rough limestone walls. The inscrip- tion reads: Erected in 1894 by the generosity of William B. Spooner. Boston, Mass., Merchant and Philanthropist, Born 1806, Died 1880. Above this writing a wooden sign spells simply, Thayer Museum of Art. From these two plaques comes a story of dual philanthropy and tin- explanation of the building ' s present com- posite name. The will of William Brown Spooner, after reciting sundry bequests of a personal nature, directed the trustees to convey half of the residue of his estate to the Lawrence Seminary in Law- rence, in the State of Kansas, meaning the in- stitution with which my friend Frank H. Snow is now or has been connected. The Frank H. Snow referred to was Dr. Francis H. Snow, the first professor of natural history in this semin- ary and later chancellor from 1890 to 1901, who was the husband of Mr. Spooner ' s niece. Accordingly, in 1894 the sum of $80,000 was expended in the construction of Spooner Li- brary, and at the same time the residence until recently occupied by the chancellor was built with $15,000 from the same source. In those days, the campus group consisted of Fraser Hall, Medical Hall (now Journalism), and old Snow Hall. Spooner was, therefore, a substantial addi- Night is kind to the middle-aged And, being of that class, She knows no fear when darkness comes, But rather welcomes it. Her solid warmth of ruddy daytime countenance Is masked in shadow, true, But still her look is friendly with an inner light That glows beneath the arches of her brow. And on the darkest midnight we are not afraid As we pass by. Quite early in her life She started a career that brought much knowledge And a host of friends. Then and by this her femininity revealed She gave them up in favor of a hyphenated surname. Yet who can say she was not wise? Her friends are fewer But they come in search of peace and culture, Which are, indeed, substantial virtues. And through the years, Serenity unspoiled by time and cruel weather-scars, She mutely gives true counsel To all who come To read upon her soft-stone face this legend: Whoso findeth wisdom findeth life. Gene Ricketts. SPOOIR--THAYER: OF ART tion to the little, huddled collection. Spooner Library served the University for thirty years in its nominal capacity, until in the fall of 1924 Watson Library was ready for oc- cupancy. During the ensuing winter, Spooner was vacant except for occasional University parties. In 1925 repairs were undertaken to prepare Spooner for the permanent housing of the Thayer Art collection which had been presented to the University in 1917 and had, since that time, been stored in several third-floor rooms of the Administration Building. The art collection was a gift of Sallie Casey Thayer in memory of her husband, William Bridges Thayer, a member of the well-known dry goods firm of Emery-Bird- Thayer of Kansas City. Mrs. Thayer spent many years of study and travel preceding her death in 1925 in building up an outstanding collection of art objects with the purpose of a memorial always in mind. Her gift to the University was formally dedicated on May 1, 1928, and from that time the building in which the collection is housed has carried the name, Spooner-Thayer Art Museum. Minnie S. Moodie has been curator of the Museum from its beginning. The collection is outstanding for the variety, quality, and historical value of the exhibits. They include a display of Indian baskets, blankets and pottery; oriental rugs, carvings, metal work and embroideries; glass, porcelain and pottery from many countries; furniture, musical instruments, and miscellaneous Americana; and a collection of excellent paintings and etchings. Gene Ricketts. THE JAYHAWKER Gone are the blood anil thunder days when the I .i - sat on the steps and cried mr.it. meat! at passing freshmen. First year men now stride by the whistling. domesticated descendants head tip. with or without the freshman cap. . . . And first-year men appreciate, too. the freedom of the State I ' ., where, as one mid-stater happily expressed it. a fellow can go to a show in the afternoon. . . . The haled cap -which for many years was a drag on freshman enerjix - was substituted for plain - and - simple - paddling by demonstrative sophomores after a Campus incident. It was the year 1908. A group of freshmen sauntered innocently by a group of upperclass- Marginal men. The latter turned a fire hose on them. The former rose in righteous freshman wrath, and a near riot followed. Then the Pi Phis had their part in the insti- tutionalization of the cap. Following the fire hose episode on that memorable October day, one of the new students was hauled, dragged and prodded down to Mississippi Street as a guest of honor. Members of the sorority closed a firm door in the face of the mob. Whereupon the youngling was hazed beyond the point where all good hazing should stop. People all over the state began to protest. So the Student Council of Upper-Classmen made a rule. After October 15 every freshman shall wear a little green skull cap with a bright red button not less than one-half inch in diameter every day in the week except Sunday. So for a time hazing just wasn ' t the thing to do. . . . Then there was that remarkable Kansas pio- neer Henze by name c ' 23. Henze was a good boy, but he just wouldn ' t wear his cap. Upper- clansmen persisted, paddles in hand. Henze rushed to the top floor of Fraser. He went out an upper story window, leaped from one ledge to another. The crowd below gasped in horror. The janitor entered the fracas, because he felt that some equipment might be damaged. Henze finally escaped to the Chancellor ' s office. He felt safe there. After conferring with Chan- cellor Strong, he announced he would wear the cap if he could take the ducking in Potter ' s lake without preliminary paddling. Henze. then, was the martyr in the struggle here for freshman liberty. Of course, in 1924 freshmen were prohibited from smoking and talking to women on the Campus. During the following year they wore twelve-inch streamers on their caps before all home football gamo. But Henze, you see, was the first rebel the first instigator. And to him first year men are in- debted for this blissful freedom where a fellow can go to a movie in the afternoon. . . . When the haunting refrains of Bach become a little too haunting nowadays, business students may long for the time when the School of Fine Arts was a far cry from the campus proper. Those were the days of peace and quiet un- heralded by the Dean ' s Choir. Only the noisier portions of Wagner drifted over to Fraser hall with a shift of the wind. At the turn of the century, the School of Fine Arts was segregated ' in old North College. This austere stone building the first University - stood near the present site of Corbin hall. Before it was consigned to the musicians, the State School For the Feeble-minded was installed. The WHICH SOME HAPHAZARD FINDINGS ABOUT K.I VS PAST ARE RELATED by AGNES MUMERT Drawings by Andy Darling inmates were happy there,but were soon shoved off to Winfield and Fine Arts took over. . . . Old North College was razed in 1919, and stu- dents were ironically reminded that the machines of one war were used to destroy the memorial of a preceding struggle. North College was to have been a monument to perpetuate the memory of the martyrs of liberty who fell during the early fighting in Kansas. When the baby tanks came back from the World War, one was used to push over the crumbling walls of the old building. . . . OCTOBER 1939 57 A great many things have happened on the Campus, in- cluding Blake hall. This lime- stone building with the clock has variously keen known as the building with the Queen Anne front and lite Queen Mary back and the Physics Building. The University long notori- ous for its multifarious architec- ture was proud to have Blake hall built in keeping with the spirit. It is really in Chateau Renaissance style, but its pecu- liar form and shape were the result of (1) professional jeal- ousy and (2) a desire for scien- tific accuracy. Prof. Lucien I. Blake, for whom the building was named, had great and high hopes for a dignified building similar to Green hall. Accordingly, he drew the ground floor of the building (with the aid of a young architect named Wells). In those days all buildings were erected by the State Board of Public Works. Whereupon the crafty state architect drew his plans to differ as far as possible from those drawn by Wells. In search of scientific accu- racy, both the professor and the architect agreed, however, that no iron should go into the build- ing anywhere beneath the third floor. They wanted to eliminate any magnetic effects in physics experiments. But they chose Cleveland limestone for the building material. And when the building weathered, gray stains appeared the result of iron outcroppings throughout the limestone. One eastern student remarked that style of architecture on the Campus couldn ' t be so impor- tant. After five years of Kansas weathering they all look the same anyway, he contended. P igeon lore has grown with the University, and one of the first tales Mamma Pigeon tells her young siblings is the atrocity story of Blake Hall. It was a long time ago even before Grand Pappy ' s time. Those were happy days for we pigeons ... ah, well. . . . One of the most delightful haunts was Blake Hall, and I ' ve heard tell there was high flying over there. Particularly the young pigeons were wont to perch on the hands of the old clock. That was the beginning of our downfall. University stu- dents criticized them insisting that they couldn ' t see the clock for our innocent younglings. Then the wicked entomology de- partment even accused our perching younglings of retard- ing (and accelerating) the hands of the old time-piece. It hadn ' t been accurate for many years, you see, and they would try to thrust the blame on us! One cold morning one of those efficient janitors climbed to the top floor and oiled the hands. And that, my dears, is how your Great - Great - Great - Aunt Pallada fell to her doom. It was quite impossible to clutch those oiled hands, and many of your forefathers fell to the gut- ter to die. After the Great Pigeon Con- clave we moved here to Dyche museum. It ' s been pleasant in the tower but never exciting. Soon afterwards they put the old Blake clock in the junk pile and bought a new fangled one. Now Pamela, Penelope, Par- nella, Paita, Papitite, and you, too, Papa, I want you to prom- ise me never to go near Blake hall. Students are still adamant and janitors unpredictable.

Inni Oatman. a brilliant golfer in his own right, drilled the Javhawk nihlick luggers into the only Big Six title to come to of the best during the past de- cade. Although the squad was constantly under the shadow of injury, it managed to limp through for a second place in the Big Six indoor meet, take the Missouri and Nebraska dual meets, place second in the Kan- sas-Nebraska-Kansas State tri- angular affair and fourth in the will find three veterans, Dean Ritchie, Rod Wakeland and Bill Udell, ready for action when the trees start budding leaves again. If the injury jinx does not slap him down again, Bill Har- giss should be very much in the running for the conference track title. Hargiss lost Don Bird, Captain Foy, Fen Diiraiul Preview of the Robin Season IH RITCHIE WAS THE STAR OF ' 39 SPRING SPORTS; FUTURE LOOKS MMHl bv JIM mil the Campus last year. Starting -|n sl itli the first robin and warm south win d, the local boys developed into a smooth strok- ing team which climaxed its MT -urn ful M-a-on 1 walk- ing away with the conference title at Ames. Iowa, late in May. The K.U. team was captained by Bob Busier. Others who pa- trolled the pastures for the Crimson and Blue were Dean Ritchie, Rod Wakeland, Bill Udell and Mort Jones. Follow- ing the close of the regular sea- son, Oatman took the team to the National Intercollegiate tourney at Des Moines. Though they did not come home with top honors, the Jayhawkers showed well under top compe- tition. Dean Ritchie went on during the early summer to cop the Kansas Amateur tournament at Topeka when he defeated Billie Jones of Wichita to take the crown formerly held by Coach Oatman. Big Bill Hargiss ' Kansas track and field team proved to be one Big Six outdoor fracas at Ames. Led by Captain Lyle Foy, former Big Six 100- and 220- yard king, the team featured such stars as Don Bird, confer- ence pole vault title holder; Bob Stoland, Big Six high jump and broad champion; Ray Harris, undisputed ruler of the two- milers; Chet Friedland, weight star; and Fenlon Durand, for- merly the conference ' s number one javelin man. Coach Ralph Conger ' s base- ball team came home with a tie for fourth place in the confer- ence horsehide struggle. Glenn Oatman guided the tennis team ' s destinies in addition to handling the golf crew. The racketmen couldn ' t get up enough steam to finish better than fifth in the Big Six. Though it is rather early to go about prognostication for this spring ' s sports, one can safely say that Kansas will again be dangerous on the golf links. In spite of the fact that Oatman has lost Captain Busier and Mort Jones by graduation, he and Chet Friedland through graduation. On the other side of the ledger comes a brilliant group of sophomores, headed by J. R. Jones, broad juniper capa- ble of over 24 feet. Returning lettermen will include Ray Harris, Bob Stoland, Joe Ryan, Charlie Toberin, Glenn Foy, Bill Beven and Bob Lorenzen. Baseball prospects are the best in years with only two veterans lost by graduation Les Kappelman, infielder, and Pat Holcom, outfielder. Return- ing veterans will be Jack Sands, Ed Paris, Frank Bukaty, Ed Hall,Eldreth Cadwalader, Larry Hensley, John Burge and others. Nothing is known about ten- nis prospects. Leading the Jay- hawkers will be Howard Engle- man, basketball star who played in the number one position last year. Oatman sees several prom- ising sophomores coming up, but tennis is what is known as an on-and-off sport with the breaks counting. The Kansas mentor prefers to wait and see how things develop. OCTOBER 1939 59 Ly ELDON CORKILL Photos by Ed Garich TO ATTAIN the doubtful privilege of gyrating and shouting before unresponsive audiences at football and basketball games, thirty - five men displayed their wares be- fore a quintet of critical judges this fall. Presidents Wayne Nees of the K-Club, C. H. Mullen of the M.S.C., Velma Wilson of the W.S.G.A., Mac Wynne of Sachem, and Winifred Jameson of the Jay Janes chose ten men one senior, two juniors, three sophomores, and four freshmen for the apparently thankless job. Selection was based on per- sonality, ability to lead cheers, appearance on the field, experi- ence, and the year of gradua- tion. Diminutive Bill Waugh, b ' 40, was chosen head noise-maker this year. On his shoulders rests the responsibility for early morning pep rallies, card dis- plays such as were shown at the Iowa State game this fall, and for school enthusiasm in gen- eral. He ' s had plenty of experi- ence, having served as assistant cheerleader the past two years. He is a native Kansan, cheers for Kansas, and believe it or not, his middle name is Kansas. Assistants to Waugh are Stuart Bunn and Bob Wright, juniors; Roy Edwards, Ben Park and Hal Ruppenthal, sophomores; and Charles Walker, Jake Powell, Bill Cav- ert and Jack Parker, freshmen. Each fall, between thirty and forty men apply for positions on the cheering squad. Tryouts are held and the successful aspir- ants get their first acid test at the opening home football game. Faced by a stolid, unresponsive Something More Than Noise When They Try Out for the Cheering Squad They ' re Ashing for a Thankless Tash crowd, some fail. Others, by use of their dynamic personalities, powerful, pleading voices, or their attention-getting gymnas- tics, may rally the spectators out of their stupor and bring forth a Rock Chalk yell that makes the stadium walls tremble. Enemies of the leather- lunged shouters are the people who pick Saturday afternoon to talk about their latest date or to tell their friends about some- one ' s new Buick. I n the same category go those who will not cooperate in card displays, not to speak of those who refuse to yell at all, or who begin a yell and then fizzle out.

(Especially with the matching of the Betas and Phi Gams with the Pi Phis and Kappas. It is a bet that pledges won ' t have to be told to go out for tennis anymore.) Plans for a horseback-riding group have been made. The organization will be called the Spur Club, and equestrians will ride once a week. In-tructions in riding three and five gaited horses will be given free, and English saddles will be used. A varied program will be offered in the form of high jumping, trick riding, and even- tually playing polo. Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of physical education, announced the winners in last year ' s intramural contest at the annual Wom- en ' s Athletic Association Sport ' s Pow-Wow, Sep- tember 28. She awarded the grand champion- ship intramural trophy for 1939 to the Pi Beta Phi sorority. The Pi Phis defeated Kappa Kappa Gamma, defending champions for the last six years, for the all-year trophy by 60 points. The Pi Phis made such a big splash to victory this year chiefly because of their championship swimming team. With Virginia Anderson setting a new pool record in the 100-yard back stroke, the Pi Phis swept every event in the meet to win it by more than 80 points. Virginia Anderson was awarded the trophy for having scored the hii:li.--l point total in the soror- ity division. Lois Wisler won the individual championship in the independent division of W. A. A. Trophies are awarded to the sorority or organ- ized house winning each major sport. In case an independent team wins, individual medals are presented, and the cup goes to the organization having next highest rank. Group winners receiving cup or medals for major sports last year were: I.W.W. first in volleyball; Pi Beta Phi and T.N.T. (independ- ent) battled to a tie for first place in basket- ball; Pi Phis easily carried the swimming championship, as they did ping pong doubles and tennis doubles; the T.N.T. ' s won medals for deck tennis; the I.W.W. independents and Kappas finished first in baseball, and Alpha Delta Pi was tops at throwing horseshoes. Individual awards were presented to Dorothy Willcuts for placing first again for the fourth consecutive time in tennis singles ; Irene McAdoo was tops in the free basketball throw; Virginia Anderson once more showed her superiority in the dart section; Margaret McCoy came up win- ning the ping pong singles; Evelyn Herriman tossed the best horseshoes; and Lois Wisler led the field in handball. Although not under the auspices of the intra- mural program, Tau Sigma, the Quack Club, tln Fencing Club and the Rifle team are closely connected. Those surviving the Quack Club qualifying tests are: Verda Lee Miller, Ann Nettles, Marty Boyle, Becky Trembley, and Jane McHenry. Marjorie Heimbrook and Betty Han- cock were awarded minor Quacks. Varsity hockey teams from 15 colleges and universities vied for honors on Saturday, Oct. 21, when the local team were host for the annual College Hockey Play Day. Each year the W.A.A. sponsors the Puff Pant Prom which is a dance for women only. Prizes are given for best dressed man, and the best looking couple. The Prom will be in the Memorial Union ballroom, November 10, with one of the Hill ' s best dance bands furnishing the music. OCTOBER 1939 61 t ., j| NLY he-men allowed is the slogan of the U intramural program for the coming year. In past years the intramurals have been looked upon by the majority of fans as events which only the anemic, under-nourished, and general weak- lings would or could be participants. However, that is past history and, to keep in tune with the new time cycles, the intramural advisers have stepped up their program until now it is a true test of athletic merit. This is further evidenced by the fact that no student in the University may participate in touch football without hospital approval gained after a physical examination under Dr. Canute- son at Watkins Hospital. Also no members of the freshman or varsity football squads may see action in this sport. Dr. E. R. Elbel, who is in charge of all intramural activities, stated that it is still possible for students to enter several events by registering at his office in Robinson Gym- nasium. Eleven-man football reached an all-time high this year as twenty-four teams registered at the start of the season, October 5. This entry list was augmented by the five teams entered by the Independent Student Association from its five respective divisions. Every housed social frater- nity on the hill except one entered a team and also the Galloping Dominoes, Theta Tau, and Hellhounds have aggregations competing. Phi Kappa Psis, grand champion of touch foot- ball the past two years, have been installed as early favorites but will find their gridiron suc- cesses coming much harder this year than in past campaigns. The division winners of last year, Theta Tau, Kappa Sigma, and Delta Tau Delta, figure to instill plenty of stiff competition in their contests before the final game is played and the champion crowned. Early contests played this year indicate that the Phi Delts must be reckoned with in the final standings as evidenced by their 13-0 victory over Acacia. Sub Parr ' s passing and Dick Bassett ' s kicking were the outstanding features of this clash. Sig Eps also provided fans with early season excitement by knocking over a favored Phi Gam crew, 8-0. Six-man football has also received a decided boost in number of teams in action with the addi- tion of the five ISA squads. Fourteen other or- ganizations have members competing in this event, making a total of nineteen teams or seven more than participated last year. The six-man team event is composed of sixteen B squads of organizations that have teams competing in the 11-man touch football. Three other teams, Kappa Eta Kappa, Alpha Kappa Psi, and Hexagons, compl ete the six-man entry list. Kappa Sigma B is the defending title-holder in one division of last fall ' s six-man results. In the other division the Jitterbugs and Hexagons tied for the lead with the Jitterbugs winning the play-off. The Jitterbugs disbanded, however, FOR HE- Intramural Grid Rules Tighten; A 1,r nl Makes New History by CHUCK ELLIOTT leaving the Hexagons and Kappa Sigma B as the teams to watch in this year ' s race. All touch-football games are being played on the five intramural fields south of Robinson Gym- nasium. These contests are free to everyone and a snappy brand of attack is assued to all those who witness these struggles. Other team sports which have recently started include the tennis and horseshoe squads. In horseshoe twenty teams have entered the com- petition. The Galloping Dominoes are the de- fending champions. Although they lost their two best men they are reported to have two new men equally as good a nd rate no worse than second in this season ' s forecast. Delta Tau, runner-up last year, figure to come out on top with Voran and Galloway leading the attack at the pits. Twenty-two tennis squads have started play in an effort to dislodge Kappa Sigma as team cham- pion in that event. The Betas, with Radford and Pierce spear-heading the attack, are the logical choice as victors but will find plenty of competi- tion from the Phi Delts, Galloping Dominoes, and the Kappa Sigs.

THE JAY HAWKER THE SOCIAL WHEEL by LARRY BLAIR and MARY LOU RANDALL Drawing by Andy Darling Being a Strift Survey of Such Early Tortures Open House, Opening Varsities, and Fall Parties Society became the spice of life for the first few weeks of school this fall, as Mt. Oread ' s old and new feminine pulchritude held open houses for the socially inclined male element of the Hill. . . . Among the first of the Greek ladies to give the men a break were the Thetas and the Chi Omegas, who on Friday, September 22, invited stags to inspect their new crop of pledges and to greet old members, with a bit of crowded dancing as an incidental. The usual wide variety of male attire, includ- ing everything from the dressy tuxedo to the summery white Palm Beach suit, was in evidence as Dale Brodie and his new Hill hand dished out some distinctive rhythm at the Chi O affair, and Clyde Smith and his boys ground out more of that solid swing which went over so big last year, for the Kite girls and their guests in the Memorial Union ballroom. . . . On Friday, September 29, no less than four organized houses formally opened their portals to the onrush of stags. The Kappas, A.D. Pis, Ricker Hall, and Miller Hall each came in for their share of available masculinity. Brodie was on the stand for the Key gals at the Union, while Smith furnished the tunes for the D. Pis at their chapter house, with the bewitchin ' voice of Bar- bara Edmonds carrying on with the vocals. Clyde Bysom and his popular band made their fall debut as they dispensed for dancers at Miller Hall. . . . With absolutely insufficient rest for the weary stags, four more houses decided to hold open house on the following evening, and once again the rounds were made. The Alpha Chis held forth at the good old Union ballroom, with Smith in charge of the music, while the A.O. Pis and their visitors danced to Brodie and his hand. Watkins and Corhin lassies were hostess at their respective houses. . . . A lapse of a week, and the eager stags were all ready to step out again as the Pi Phis and Gamma Phis added the finishing touches to another open Jimmy Joy clarinets while some of the Pi K.

The Arrow girls entertained at the Union with Clyde Smith, while the Gamma Phis, with Dale Brodie as their music maestro, weren ' t having much trouble in the way of filling their domicile with stags. . . . A first-of-the-year da nce is no place for a weak constitution at least it wasn ' t at the opening varsity, Monday, September 18. Attendance reached a new high with Dale Brodie, new band- leader, pounding out his hot rhythms. People stepped on one another with an easy conscience, but managed to gather up the parts before leav- ing the dance floor. . . . Then there was the Union Building open house, with the stags occupying the major por- tion of the floor. . . .

While we find no record of the young women ' s decision, the first commencement exercises were held in 1873. The main hall in Fraser was yet unfinished. The walls were roughly plastered, the windows closed with old boards, and in the center of the ceiling yawned a round hole, eight feet in diameter. In the midst of the impressive graduation ceremonies a skeleton slowly de- scended from the dark hole, clattering his ghastly bones and apparently attempting a nine- teenth century version of the Big Apple over the heads of the audience. On his big toe was tied a paper labelled Prex. The pranksters were never caught. A blue tie and a dangling rope were the only clews and though the tie was kept for some time in the office for its owner, it remained unclaimed. Fraser resigned the chancellorship in April 15, 1874, and S. H. Carpenter was elected to succeed him. Carpenter visited the city briefly and sent back word to the regents that he could not accept the position. James Marvin of Meadville, Penn- sylvania, became chancellor. During his admin- istration, Fraser Hall was finished and the chem- istry building, now used as the Journalism building, was erected. Shade trees were set out on the campus and Marvin Grove was planted. The faculty increased to nineteen and the stu- dents numbered about six hundred. One morning in 1880, as Doctor Marvin was on his way to the Campus, a messenger boy handed him a telegram informing him of the sudden death of Regent F. T. Ingalls the day before and of funeral plans for the following day. The faculty and students were informed of the news and arrangements were made for memorial services on the Hill the next morning. Doctor Marvin and two of the regents went to Atchison that evening in order to attend the funeral the following day. Upon their arrival, they were told that Regent Ingalls was at a church social. They immediately sent a telegram to the University and sat down to await the first train home. By some mishap the telegram was delayed until too late to serve its purpose of preventing the memorial services from being held. The student body sat in silence as two members of the faculty who had been in school with the de- parted regent paid him tribute. As the students filed slowly from the services, word was brought that the telegram was a hoax. The perpetrators of the joke offered public apology for their prank ; they were suspended from school for the (Continued on Page 78) OLD NORTH COLLEGE Just eighty years ago this month the cornerstone for Old North College, first K.U. building, was laid with fitting ceremony. After speeches by prominent men of Lawrence, University regents, and the faculty, the slab of sandstone was placed over an opening containing a tin box. In the box were placed a Bible, a copy of the Confession of the Faith of the Presby- terian Church, the University charter, the Wyandotte Constitution, and two local newspapers. This imposing brick-and-stone edifice, with its high arched windows, portly wooden doors, and square tower, was located near the present site of Corbin Hall. The ground story closely resembled a modern basement but it contained two large rooms and two small ones as did the first main floor above it. On the second main floor were two small rooms used as the library and museum and at the north side was an auditorium. Stoves, located in each room, heated the entire structure. A cistern furnished the water supply. It was the best school building in the state and cost just $20,000. Old North College was the home of the Uni- versity from September 12, 1866, the first day the University opened, until 1872, when Fraser Hall was completed. Vacant until 1883 when, for eight years, it became the Home of the Feeble-minded, the struc- ture was then remodeled by the University and the school of law installed. Finally in 1893 the school of fine arts took possession and remained until January 24, 1917. In 1917 the structure was condemned and sold to the highest bidder for $100. ( One applicant wanted $800 from the University to remove the edifice.) On April 15, 1918, when the cornerstone was removed, the bottom of the tin box had rotted away and the con- tents had so disintegrated that they were not able to be removed to Dyche Museum for preservation. In 1919 an army tank, in Lawrence as a publicity stunt to further the sale of Liberty Loan Bonds, snowed its effectiveness in removing inanimate objects by tearing down the last of the dismantled ruins of Old North College.

You are assured the finest quality newest shades exclusive patterns and at a price you can afford to pay. MENS Mix a new basket - weave tweed sport coat (one of those in the subtle brown and green weaves with the two-tone effect) and medium brown or grass- green tweed slacks in the new speckled-trout patterns ; flavor this combination with a bit of crisp autumn air and you have Joe College ' s dream of a rich sports or weekend ensemble. Or, if you care to indulge in a bit of afternoon jellying and dancing, perhaps the smoother imitation tan camel ' s hair jacket and grey or dark brown covert cloth slacks will draw your vote. Either of these practical com- binations is within the reach of the more modest pocketbooks, and aside from being the latest in style they are surprisingly and pleasingly interchangeable. Ober ' s has them, and in other fabrics such as shetlands, chev- iots and homespuns. Your date will admire the new blue-green, 3-button single-breasted cheviot, in styles featuring the medium- spaced subdued grey, or maroon stripe. Greens for week day and knockabout suits are tops, with browns holding second choice along with oxford greys. Per- haps the most popular and long- wearing of the selection in green is the narrow herringbone 3- button, with full drape back, flap pockets and lapel button- flap. Or, if your roommate snatches your date and your green suit, be undaunted wear that smart, black-brown, double- breasted cheviot, plain weave or with an inconspicuous over- plaid. If this fails, an oxford grey covert cloth model, single- breasted with hand needled edges should win her back. Shirts for all fall clothes should be in stripes, tab or Duke of Kent collars, with emphasis on stiffness. Narrower collars with rounded corners are on the OCTOBER 1939 upswing this fall. Contrasting or light - dark blends are popular, also. Big ' is the word for the new Balmaacan imi- tation camel ' s hair overcoat (and it builds up the fellow who ' s wearing it, even if it ' s Tarzan). Single-breasted in the fingertip length with slash pockets to ensure ease in reaching for that pipe and tobacco, this is the ideal all-around coat as Woolf ' s in Kansas City will tell you. Reversi- bles (if a thin pocketbook proves a stymie in the way of having two coats) are less stylish, but serve the purpose well. They come in tweeds of all weaves, with Cravenette-processed linings which afford ideal raincoats through the simple expedient of turning the coat inside-out. Swagger coats with belts are not obsolete, although the trend is toward the beltless, full-drape coat. When buying hats, remember the word ' s spice ! And remember too the tyrolean effects, the new wide-brimmed low-crown favorite, and the Harvard Undergraduate model (which can be worn at any function); colors lean toward bright greens, squirrel-browns, deep browns, and dust-greys. Whiskbroom feathers complete the true spectator sports hat. Shoes are more obvious with thick leather soles, Norwegian calf uppers or the bootmaker ' s finish. Models shown at the Royal College Shop include also some beauties in crepe soles for sports and country, in brogues or cap toes with large half-punch perforations. Heavy, braided laces add body and flare to any pair of sports shoes, too. With these hints to guide him, plus the added advantage of a black, double-breasted tuxedo (cord lapels) worn with the Shoreham, collar- attached or a plain detachable collar shirt, black patent or dull leather shoes, the 1939 college man will be ready for anything conquest or com- petition.

Girding himself for the difficult task of lifting the Jayhawkers ' football fortunes out o f the mire of the Big Six conference, Henry picked a pair of capable assistants who had served him well in years gone by.

But remember what the grid- iron ' s mastermind did when he got his start in the Big Six. He spent his first year at Missouri laying the groundwork for championship teams in the future. Then he cut loose and won two loop titles in a row. Perhaps history will repeat itself. The bulk of this year ' s start- ing lineup will be back for an- other crack at the Big Six. Several promising freshmen are slated to move up. They will all have had a year getting used to the Henry System.

The Gal- loping Dominoes, outstanding in- dependent organization competing, were the fall champions of last year and also the winter champions. The Betas were right at their heels both times and in the spring reversed the order and came out ahead of the Dominoes. In the final summary the Betas nosed out the Dominoes, 1209 points to 1205 for their fourth straight grand championship. These two teams were the class of tin- competing organizations with a drop of over two hundred points to the next group. The Phi Psis took third with Phi Delts fourth and Kappa Sigma fifth. The Betas and Galloping Dom- inoes are favorites again this year to make a two-team fight for the grand sweepstakes cup. Circum- stances seem to be aiding the Dom- inoes in their struggle: the hand- ball team competition, which the Betas were odds-on favorites to capture, has been eliminated; and Phog Allen has decreed that no varsity has ctball player shall he allowed to compete in touch-foot- ball. This latter edict banished -i players from the Phi Psi active list and strengthened the football chances of the Dominoes who al- ready have a stronger team than last year ' s. Over one thousand athletes com- peted on forty-two aggregations last year in all branches of intramural sports. Dr. Elbel expects this num- ber to be broken by at least one hundred and possibly more. Intramural activities, under the directorship of Dr. Elbel, have grown rapidly during the past years and now embrace more men students than any other single ac- tivity in the University.

Eighth Floor Power Light Building KANSAS POWER LIGHT CO. KANSAS CITY, MO. OCTOBER 1939 77 intramural zeal has reached an all-time high. This is partly due to the added interest and participa- tion shown by the I.S.A. Although their original program proved to he too large in its proportions they nevertheless have entered five teams in each of the events. A preparatory school? Perhaps the biggest single advancement for the intramural cause is a person not even connected with the intra- murals this year. This red-headed individual, who proved his ability as a pass-snagger in touch football for the past three years, is now cavorting on the varsity gridiron and showing his wares beneath the watchful eyes of Gwinn Henry and staff. He is Jim Morris, all-star end of past intramural years. This is decidedly encouraging to underclassmen who feel that they are not quite capable of making the freshman or varsity teams. In touch football their confidence and proficiency is built up to the point where they believe themselves good enough to make the varsity. Morris, who is the first example, more than proved this contention by playing a bang-up game in his first varsity home combat against Iowa State. This case will undoubtedly be du- plicated many times in the years to come. The Social Wheel ... (Continued from Page 65) Pan-Hellenic delegates, graciously received the swarm of students.

Uncle Jimmy became dean of the school. Dr. Frank Strong began his eighteen years of service in 1902. During his administration enroll- ment increased from 1,200 to 4,000 and eighteen new buildings were erected. A headache to the faculty in tlii period was the traditional May Pole scrap between the fresh men and sophomore classes. In 1903, hostilities began two days before May 1 with the capture of Sopho- more Chapin by freshmen. They concealed him in an old nursery until fellow sophomores rescued him. On the morning of April 30, the sophomores went into camp several miles northwest of town. The freshmen camped southeast of town and at one o ' clock the morn- ing of May 1 set out for the Hill, carrying the heavy iron May Pole with the pennant of the class ' 06 floating from the top. Planting tin- pole east of Fraser hall, they stood ready for attack. At seven o ' clock, outposts reported the coming of the enemy. Marching in columns of fours, they drew up west of Blake hall, then, dividing into two squads one at each end of a long cable they charged. The intention was to scatter the freshmen clustered about the pole. But the ' 06 class met the onslaught with wire cut- ters, and the cable parted. Again and again the sophomores charged, but the freshmen front held until the whistle sounded the close of the battle. Two years later marked the death of the tradition. The fresh- men planted their pole as form- erly, but when by noon, their flag was unassailed, they organized a funeral procession, complete with ' U, OCTOBER 1939 79 - At Our New Location -- WE HOPE TO SERVE CUSTOMERS BOTH OLD AND NEW - OYLER ' S SHOE SHOP Collegiate Sport Collegiate Fun Collegiate Health Bring the date and show her how Learn yourself, cause it ' s a wow BOWLING LAWRENCE Recreation Parlor DRAKE ' S For Pastries ' ENERGY UP ' BREAD 907 MASS.

Early University newspapers were published irregularly and appeared under various titles. In some respects they did not differ greatly from the Kansan of today. Even in 1903, editorial writers for the Kansas University Weekly de- manded, Why not a Student Book Exchange? Advertisements were different though. One read, Kisses do you like ' em? All you want at Anderson Bros. The newly es- tablished journalism class took over publication of the University Kansan in 1904 and made it a daily in 1911. The Scoop Club, a group of the more experienced journalism stu- dents, and the journalism clas s put out a twelve-page issue of the Law- rence Daily Journal for April 27, 1908. In a front page story BEER SOLD HERE they made a sensa- tional expose of the liquor situa- tion in Lawrence. Not content with a statement of the general situation they named persons from whom liquor could be bought and inter- views with the city officials. Rever- berations from the story reached far and wide. Lawrence police got busy, raided four joints, captured four stocks of liquor, filled up the county jail, and collected a small fortune in cash bonds that were put up for appearance in court. Jerome Beatty, nationally known journal- ist, Roy Roberts of the Kansas City Star, and Brock Pemberton, Broad- way play producer, were among the staff members who put out the issue. Student government was inaugu- rated on the Campus when the Men ' s Student Council was organ- ized in 1909. The year 1912 was an important one for the feminine element on Mount Oread. For the first time were opened to them classes in basketball, swimming, and baseball, and for the first time they went to the polls to elect offi- cers for their own student govern- ment.

(Continued from Pagt 6) If you ' ve been to a movie, you must stop in at the old favorite Blue Mill. A most popular hang- out for Kappas, Fred Littooy, Betas, Fred Littooy, and Sigma Otis, the Mill still maintains its . reputation of keeping the best pieces on the music machine. The only improvement (?) is the new blue Mexican wallpaper, which doesn ' t fit in with the Dutch Mill theme, but is nevertheless attrac- tive. Famous for its brownies a la, and fudge cake, it is the refuge of Saturday shoppers, and most pop- ular of downtown places. You can ' t beat the Jayhawk Cafe for those midnite cokes and sand- wiches to help you out on the old study grind. It ' s a popular place for song sessions, dinner dates, and good lunches, too, all tied together with a nickelodeon and some slick refinishing in the way of knotty pine. Flossie Piper, Theta, and Betsy Dodge, Kappa pledge, are some of the freshmen who find the Jayhawk Cafe one of the better places. For that good song-fest after a show or a dance meet the boys at the R M. The ham sandwiches are tops (as are the hamburgers). Drive out on Massachusetts Street and visit Roy and Marie. The Green Lantern is the GO signal for a big evening whether it be one of their delicious steak dinners or a mere stop for refresh- ment after the dance.

It provided that the men of the group were to have free access to the downstairs part of the house, that they were to have complete self- government, and, above all, that they were to have the absolute right of choosing whom they wanted to live in the house, being required only to keep it full.

CHICAGO ILLINOIS ROYAL COLLEGE SHOP - for SHOE Attire - 837 MASSACHUSETTS February of 1933, nine men, seven of whom were engineers, moved into 1011 Indiana and inaugurated the semi-organized house. During that first semester the house proved a real success in ful- filling the expectations of its found- ers. The following fall the mem- bership was increased to fifteen men, the capacity of the residence, where it remained until this year. An obvious advantage of living in any organized group is that its members are enabled to participate in various activities which the un- attached person might find it dif- ficult to join. So it was in the semi- organized house. The gastronom- ical sport of the dining table was supplemented by the more strenu- ous sport of the athletic field as house teams were entered in major intramural sports. And on the so- cial side, although elaborate social functions were out of the question, the group did attempt occasional modest parties. As the organiza- tion grew older, this doing things together developed a solidarity of spirit that has enabled the group to endure. The group has been and is self- perpetuating. Each year new mem- bers are chosen to take the place of those who graduate. Quality is the main objective. Social agreeability and congeniality are prime consid- erations in selection, along witli scholarship and breadth of inter- est. Of formal organization the group has but little. Customarily there are only two officers, chosen in- formally. There is a nominal head of the house, holding office with- out an official title, whose job it is to fill the house and act as presid- ing officer. In addition there is a treasurer who looks after finances. No formal name has ever been chosen by the men. During the seven years of its existence, Ten- Eleven has served to identify the group among its acquaintances. On the intramural field, Hellhounds served equally well. Many out- siders consistently refer to the group as the Summerfield House. Although it was founded by Sum- merfield scholars and about half of its members are usually Summer- field scholars, the men discourage the use of such a title. In spite of a grade-point average that hovers consistently around 2.5 and which approached 2.6 for the past year, they feel that the name is neither descriptive of the house as it is or as it was envisaged by its founders. The group would like to be known for what it really is a group of students with breadth and diver- sification of interests, gathered to- gether for the business of living companionably and interestingly.

We thought the delicate realism of My Heart ' s in the Highlands ' RICHARD MAC V Bmmlurm .M CHAD CASK We don ' t very often enter contests usunlly they close before we get well started. But the recent Town Hall essay topic at least made us do some thinking, which is pretty remarkable for any contest. What American Democracy Means to Us both im- mediately and fundamentally, that ' s an important question. and not the least of its aspects, is the attitude of youth. W hat. after all, does youth think of our American form of govern- ment? Well, first, let ' s make two reservations. On the one hand it must be remembered that we aren ' t claiming any exclusi - authority in the matter. We merely have the freedom to gn . in a highly unscientific, deductive sort of way. On the other hand it must be remembered that actually youth has no group Program will probably never have. Youth is as conservative, as radical, as fearful, as indifferent, as its elders for youth, too, is made up of all kinds, reflecting all the traditional divisions in adult opinion. Still, in any era, the new generation always has its own signifi- cance for the future. And youth, today more certainly than - rr before, embodies whatever resolution there is on the part of the whole society to improve and progress. There is a great deal of dissatisfaction abroad in the nations dissatisfaction with things as they are. The depression brought most of that. And there is a great deal of satisfaction, too satisfaction with the many good things we do possess. The second European war has made us appreciate them. This double attitude is characteristic of today. And, it is characteristic, we believe, of the ideas of most young people. They think it is perfectly reasonable to be both satisfied and dissatisfied. They have the healthy attitude that the Preserva- tion of Our Institutions is not a project which excludes the benefits of Change. And so their credo has two parts. They are grateful that they have been born in America! grateful for the high standard of living which a restless, imm- DECEMBER 1939 93 live American genius has made possible grateful above all for freedom to live their own lives, say what they think, believe what they believe. They approve of a form of government which permits decisions to come out of open discussion. They approve of a form of government which permits original minds to develop and flourish and contribute to society. They are sold on the American ideals of government. But on the other hand, they are fully aware that those ideals remain very largely unfulfilled. They object to honeyed words about American Equality of Opportunity when they know the size of the odds against finding a job. They object to so much talk about America ' s Freedom to pursue life, liberty, and their happiness, when they know that a third of the nation ' s families are unable to live decently. They object to the intermin- able blah about the Great Resources of the American Con- tinent, when the paradox of poverty-in-the-midst-of-plenty is so patent for all eyes to see. They openly wonder why there is so much overproduction and yet so many mouths unfed. And in their doubt and their strong, inherent desire for a more equal sort of justice, they turn to the only arbiter they know the government. If there is any one thing certain in youth ' s catagory of demands, it is this: government can no longer be a mere policeman, it must be a public-service corpo- ration. It must live up to the general welfare clause. And that doesn ' t mean merely grain and circuses or doles and Dies Committees. It means an honest effort to grapple with the problems of underemployment, underconsumption, and monop- oly price. It means an honest effort to control the irresponsible acts of powerful economic aristocracies. It means a new period of far-reaching restraints on private guesswork and far-reaching service by public minded services. That is, young men and women want to make use of their government. They aren ' t afraid of it. A great many of them plan to take part in it, but in asking for expanded functions, they are asking, too, for better government than we have yet had. They are going to demand a scientific approach to the business of governing. Youth believes in that scientific approach and is willing to put it to practice. Else, why the overflowing schools of Public Administration throughout the country? And when youth learns, too, as it is learning, that an ethical approach is a basic requirement in order to make that scien- tific approach effective and binding, then the history-books will begin to record an even more remarkable advance toward civili- zation in government. was a very worthwhile thing. Maybe you didn ' t. But Bill Fey ' s point of view will be interesting to you his article on page 108 is both well-reasoned and well-written. Agnes Mumert sheds a few care- fully aimed tears over the loss of Hobo Day this fall, and recounts some of the glories of past years. The Marginal Note on the Puff Pant Prom also merits your atten- tion. (Page 106.) Frieda Cowles has treated the W. S. G. A. story in the best possi- ble way through personalities. And she throws in a few historical tid-bits for good measure. See page 126. Jim Bell ' s review of the football season (p. 102) is snappy and to the point. . . . Bob Brooks ' fresh and fast-moving treatment of the story on the Freshman Medics (p. 138) also deserves very honorable mention. . . . Rosemary Casper, in her interviews with professors, shows that she knows what to look for and what to write about (p. 134). Not feeling certain that we agreed with Harry Hill ' s viewpoint on Homecoming at all though we rather liked the way he expressed it we couldn ' t decide whether we ought to print his story or not. And we haven ' t decided yet. About photography: We think there ' s a lot of improvement this time, and we want to thank our student photographers for their un- flagging interest. Art Wolf did all the outdoor group pictures, as well as the two personality photos (pp. 128-129), and the full-page intro- duction to the girls ' section (the latter with Betty VanDeventer ' s very effective assistance) . Gradu- ate Bert Brandt made the cover picture, not to speak of several football action shots, and the dramatics and Cornhusking pic- tures. Hal Branine, Ed Garich, and Maurice Jackson also have done outstanding work. The pictures of Miss Morrison and Mr. Sisson are by Wolf, and those of Miss Black and Mr. Patterson are by Garich. And last a position which im- plies strong emphasis we want to thank Betsy Dodge for those sparkling drawings on pages 110 and 111 and we want to thank Andy Darling for those remarkable portraits of Amos Lawrence and John Brown.

Because Bacon is one of the four hundred NYA workers on this campus. Along with six other stu- dents, Bacon works on the University fossil colled ion. which is making its own valuable contribution to the state oil industry. It ' s hard to realize that there are scores of such NYA projects on the Hill, each one making a similar contribution to its field. Nearly every department lias its government-paid student employees; nearly every department would like to have more, for when Mate funds are not available, NYA steps in, if it can, and fills the gap. Lacking the aid of NYA, the prominent Snow in- sect collection could not be in first-class shape; the fossil collection could scarcely be up-to-date; Dyche museum would be even farther from completion; the In-ill engine lab would not enjoy half so many ad- vantages and so on and on. The ordinary two-legged student has no way of knowing the extent of NYA activities at K. U. Just about the only person who knows what is going on is Martha Tillman, executive secretary of the organiza- tion. Let ' s take a look at the general headquarters of this small army of students. You ' ve walked by it many times in the basement of Frank Strong Hall. On the outside is a sign lettered NYA Office.

But what interested us most was the conductors score of Ward ' s four-movement symphony. It must have been an inch and a half thick, this score, and certainly it is a monument to persistence as well as musical talent. Said Wiley, Ward probably is the most brilliant harmony student ever enrolled in this school: and if it hadn ' t been for NYA. he would have had to wash Here mrt fontr umpire of Miu I illmaii ' - bookkeeping worries: ma oCre line report ready lo be filled with names, an application blank, a Mudent ' s week ' s report, and other offire data.

A string quartet, under Mr. Kuersteiner, and a woodwind quintet under .Mr. Wiley both broadcast regularly and are financed through the NYA office. They think it ' s a well- advised investment. Speaking of well-advised investments, the NYA project inside Dyche museum is certainly one of them. Have you ever sneaked into Dyche? If not, here ' s a tip when Dyche is finally reopened to public inspection, hock your last quiz-file to get inside and see it. Claude Hibbard and bis NYA staff are preparing some fascinating paleontological dis- plays. For the most part the staff is engaged in putting pieces of fossil together to make complete skeletons. Which is no snap when you consider that it may take days to fit a single rib together properly. AH the center space of the first floor is taken up by tables and crates filled with incomplete and un- fitted bone segments. Something like the pieces of an enormous jig-saw puzzle, except that jig-saw puzzles are fun. To some people. (And were we surprised to find that Supervisor Hibbard, who has tediously fitted hundreds of bones into finished specimens, never has tackled a jig-saw inanity. He ' s afraid it might be too bard.) Far over in a corner waiting to be displayed you ' ll find a scale model of the campus. About four feet square, it also is the work of the NYA. Let ' s continue on in the chemical engineering lab- oratories. Professor T. H. Marshall and his NYA cohorts have practically remade and rebuilt this room in the past few years. Sturdy, serviceable equipment is in abundance, and a great deal of it has been con- structed from scrap machines and parts. Marshall ' s ingenuity, as well as that of his student staff, has saved the department substantial sums of money each year. Driers, condensers, agitators they rumble and buzz continually. Back in the workshop, NYA students are creating new equipment and the chem engine lab grows better month by month. Switching your attention from chemical compounds to Oliver Goldsmith, we take you now to the English department where NYA has been preparing, among other things, a concordance of the eminent Mr. Gold- smith. A concordance happens to be an alphabetical arrangement of all the words in any book or set of books. Sounds monotonous, but NYA has listed every word ever written by Goldsmith, each word on a separate card, and arranged them alphabetically. Most prominent authors have had their art so treated, but not Oliver Goldsmith. Since this concordance will be his first, the English department is pretty inordi- nately proud of it. (Continued on Page 161) DECEMBER 1 9 3 97 ' - The political genesis of Kansas is an exciting story. Fire and blood mingle in its earliest history, ant] thai fire and blood came from mag- nificent ideals, which clashed on the treeless plains of Kansas as they clashed in no other midwestern state We asked Prof Crafton of the dramatics department to write a chronicle of those dangerous years, and he has given us a swift-paced, colorful narrative that will interest all red-blooded Jay hawkers, espe- cially those who didn ' t even know about Quantrill ' s raid. The article is a timely prelude to next year ' s Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the opening of classes on the blood- stained ground of Mt. Oread. The Editor. BORX AX The Yankee Crusade THE year 1854 was one of the most fateful and cowardly in our history. In that year a bill, sponsored by Stephen A. Douglas, was placed before the national senate a bill which if passed would repeal the Missouri Compromise and sound the death knell of the Fugitive Slave Act. A tempestuous parliamentary struggle ensued: and in the end this bill, the Kansas-Nebraska bill, was passed. Congress, by the passing of this bill, shifted a great national problem upon a local community. Congress removed the field of battle from the legislative halls to the unsettled plains of a newly-created territory. For a time the North acknowledged defeat and expressed its feelings in a cry of hopeless despair. Then Senator Seward raised his voice in challenge: We will engage in com- petition for the soil of Kansas, and God give the victo ry to the side that is strong in numbers as it is in right. Gradually but resolutely the challenge of Seward was adopted by the humiliated North; slowly but surely the storm of the North began to rise; in the press, from platforms, and in legislative halls a free Kansas became the rallying cry. The Massachusetts Emigrant Aid Society was formed to help free-state emi- grants in their journey to the territory of Kansas. The pro-slavery inhabitants of Missouri objected vehemently and resolved to keep them out. In the back- woods cabins of Ohio the Abolitionists met, packed their rifles and started west- ward with the cry, To Kansas! Ball to the muzzle! Knife to the hilt! In Charleston, South Carolina, Colonel Buford pleaded with his southern col- leagues, The Yankees would destroy our institution an institution ordained by God in his Holy Word. We believe that Kansas ought of a right to be a slave state. We must meet the Yankee emigrants with emigrants of our own. THUS the Yankee crusade began. Thus the hostile forces of a nation directed their eyes towards a single point : an uninhabited and rolling prairie beyond the Missouri River. There they made ready to send their cohorts to the national duelling ground where a duel to settle the question of slavery was to take place, a duel which was fated to grow into a bloody, disgraceful civil war. In the physical struggle which followed this summer of 1854, the focal point was a ridge of limestock rock and a plain lying below and bordering the Kaw River a rock upon which now stands the University of Kansas, a plain which now embraces the city of Lawrence. These few square miles form the major battle ground upon which the state of Kansas fought its bloody way into being. The following decade represents a bloody, dogged struggle. It was filled with raids and murders, with burnings and political battles; it culminated in a last terrible massacre by Quantrill and his Ruffians, when one dawn the guerilla chief rode in from Missouri and killed and wounded two hundred unarmed citizens and for the last time burned the town. But when peace came to the nation, Kansas had been born born in an idea settled through a burning ideal. A Bloody Foundation ALLEN CRAFTONT THIS decade of battle is the subject of the present article. Lawrence and our university are what they are because of this decade. The stamp of the past is always found in the present. There are buildings still standing which were eye-witnesses to this struggle of the fifties. Names which we use daily on Mt. Oread stem back to those early times. The ghosts of Jim Lane, Charlie Robinson, and John Brown still walk the streets of Lawrence. Not in a grim recital of the many tragedies nor in chronological tables nor in text-book history can we draw close to those colorful days, but rather in a retelling of scattered human episodes, in glimpses of personalities which we can understand, in the narration of trifling, often ridiculous incidents, in connecting that period with our own through a building now standing, a law still in force, an old hickory tree still spreading its shade at Eighth and Ohio streets. . . .

I i i -i Humbling BEFORE the first handful of settlers had moved down to the plain from Mt. Oread, the first alarm was sounded; and it was not for a band of attacking Indians (the Delaware Indian lands were where North Lawrence is now) but for a band of Missouri Ruffians. Suspicion became fact when two bloodhounds scented out the free-state men in their camp. A man named Fuller picked up his gun and started. He drew bead and fired. One dog dropped, the other one fled, and the ruffians disappeared. The first casualty in the Kansas-Missouri strug- gle appears to be a hound dog from Missouri. After the settlers moved down to the plain (where the business district now stands) they put up tents and lived in them while they were erect- ing houses. John Baldwin and some fellow- Missourians claimed some of the land, and had named their visionary village Excelsior. The Misftourians told the Kansans to get off the land; the Kansans refused. The fend rested at this impasse until one morn- ing when the Yankees were working some dis- tance from their tents. A woman now enters our atory. a sister of Baldwin (She enters it near the spot on lower Massachusetts where in our romantic moments, we see Pretty-boy Tyrone Power in the movies.) Near this place a tent called the New England Tent, stood. Sister Bald- win started proceedings by taking down this tent and packing it and its contents into a wagon. When the Yankees hurried down and demanded their tent, more words were passed between the conflicting parties. The words became bigger and bigger, and finally Baldwin gave the Yankees just one-half-hour to move their tents. The half hour passed and the three-quarters. The Mis- sotirians held their rifles but did no direct aiming. Some of the free-state men began to suspect a stranger in their midst. One of them asked meaningfully of Charles Robinson (he gave his name to the gymnasium) : Shall we fire to hit or fire over ' em? Robinson paused dramatical!) and replied, I ' d be ashamed to shoot at a man and not hit him. The suspected man overheard this remark. After a few minutes he walked across to the Missourians. A consultation was held. The Mis- sourians dumped the Yankee tent on the ground and started homeward. So the second encounter ended for the Kansans in a victory by bluff. This day (October 5, 1854) is memorable for two other reasons. On this Sunday the first ser- mon was preached by S. Y. Lum, a Congregational minister. The preaching was held in the Pioneer Boarding House, a sod-building thatched with Voting in Kickapoo is the title of this drawing, to be found in an old Kansas history book. Kirkapoo. located some miles north of Luw- rence. was evidently a typical example of pro-slavery voting mrl li .!-. There a group of Missouri voters formed a circle around both the polling-place and the saloon then they simply kept going around and around. prairie grass. On this day, also, the first prairie grave was dug and Moses Pomeroy, a young man who had died of a fever, was buried. The first house in Lawrence had been built some days before by Clark Stearns, who later sold it to Ralph Brooks for use as a general store. It stood on the east side of Massachusetts between what are now Sixth and Seventh streets. Brooks figures in another event of these early days : he was the groom in the first wedding per- formed in Lawrence. That wedding took place on October 3, 1856, in the Methodist Church (the building still stands on Vermont street, opposite the Elks Club). An Episcopal clergyman officiated at the ceremony. The Methodists resented this. The next day one of the deacons announced, referring to the Epis- copal ceremony, We will have no more theatri- cals in this church. The wedding took place at night. There was a full moon. A large crowd gathered, and those who could not get in, stood outside. In their ex- citement the outsiders broke several windows. The Methodists presented a bill for the windows to Brooks who promptly paid the charges. During that first season 750 persons settled in Lawrence. Advertising then must have been sim- John Brown (1800-1859) of Connecticut, who swore eternal war against slavery is a prime example of a man absorbed in a fixed idea. With the help of his five sons he embarked on a program of terrorism and murder in retaliation against the pro-slavery outrages, and in oppo- sition to Robinson ' s policy of watchful waiting. His attack on Harper ' s Ferry was his last, but he became, after that, the very incarnation of the spirit of liberty in popular thought. Charles Robinson (1818-1894), doctor, ' 49-er, wise and confident long-term planner, was the acknowl- edged chief of the New England emigrants in Law- rence. His policy of restraint in the face of odds won the day, and he became the first governor (1861) of the State of Kansas. ilar to what it is now, for many were lured to the territory by glamorous promises. They found no conveniences and few comforts. They, the kid- gloved contingent as they were called, soon re- turned to the East. In the autumn of 1854 the town was named. For a time it had been called by various names : New Boston, Yankeetown, Wakarusa. Many of the settlers liked this last name; it had a melli- fluous sound and spoke itself pleasantly. But when the settlers learned that Wakarusa was actually Indian for hip-deep (referring to the depth of the river several miles south of the Kaw) they abandoned it. A meeting was called, the citizens voted, and the town was christened Law- rence in honor of Amos Lawrence of Massachu- setts, the well-known organizer of and contribu- tor to the Emigrant Aid Society. Chapter II Election Events took a serious turn for the settlers in the spring of 1855. The first territorial legisla- ture was to be elected. Both sides understood the importance of this election and put forth their strongest efforts to carry it. Whoever secured the first legislature would make the first laws. A pro- slavery legislature would establish slavery and pass laws protecting slave property.

Absolutely no one (except the Missouri team, Coach Don Faurot and several thousand Show-Me rooters) would have been able to kick about anything if Paul (Merry) Christman and corporation had not swept to victory.

(Continued on Page 151) A GOOD SEASON 99 . . by JIM BELL Kansas has a bright football future. There probably aren ' t a half dozen students on the Hill who will take issue with that prediction. They know it to be true. They know it, in spite of the fact that tin- 1939 grid machine hung up its moleskins with a record of two narrow victories and six defeats. They are sure. Why? Gwinn Henry is the answer. It is doubtful if there is another college campus in the country whose football team has just gone thru a season in which opponents scored 107 points to its 47 that i ;i- optimistic as the University of Kansas. If a coach ever had the confidence of hi. school it ' s that quiet little man who holds the destiny of Jay hawker football. When Henry took over the reins this fall, he tackled a man-sized job. The Big Six conference was heading into its greatest year. Three of the six teams ranked among the first ten teams in the nation during the course of the season. Missouri. Nebraska and Oklahoma all had first rate teams. Kansas State showed promise but Iowa State was out of the running from the first. Kansas was a question mark. With a handful of good backfield men and a ragged, untried line, Henry built a team which was always dangerous. That was the thing the student body liked about this fall ' s Jayhawkers they were liable to do almost anything at any time. They played a wide-open brand of foot- ball that kept the spectators and opposing coaches on their feet. It was Biff Jones, Nebraska coach, who told newspaper men the Kansans gave him the longest after- noon of his life. Al Ml. -.-iiiiir squadmen: Bill Arnold, Kr.nk Bukaty, Bill Lenhart. Mike Sihlanik.

There was pep and to spare, this season. (The photo is by Bert Brandt.) More senior squadmen: Dirk Amerine, El- (In-tli Cadwalader, Russell Chitwood, Stuart Keown, John Naramore, Dan Rhule. The Henry style of play is a far cry from the old hit the center three times, then kick method employed here for so many years. It is this type of football that will carry K. U. to some measure of greatness in the near future. The Jayhawkers opened their eight-game schedule against an unknown quantity- Drake University. The inexperienced Kansans found the Bulldog more than they could handle and fell on the short end of a 12-6 thriller. The K. U. score came when Dick Amerine twisted his way 60 yards through a broken field. In the closing min- utes, Kansas was again at Drake ' s goal line, but failed to score when a short pass fell incomplete in the end zone. The Iowa State game was the first home appearance. For three quarters the teams battled to a scoreless standstill; then, in the opening minutes of the final period. Kansas struck twice to ring up a final 14-0 victory. Milt Sullivant plunged the first touchdown and Jakie Fry sprinted 43 yards down the west sidelines for the second. The Henrymen continued their winning ways against Colorado State when Eldreth Cadwalader flipped the ball to Red Morris in the closing minutes of the game for the 7-0 decision. The touchdown was set up when John Naramore intercepted a Colorado pass and ran to the 35-yard line. The game featured the sparkling run- ning of Denzel Gibbens, sophomore halfback. The powerful Oklahoma Sooners battered Gwinn ' s fighting gang to a 27-7 defeat at Norman on the next week-end. The Jayhawks pushed over the first conference score against the Sooners in two years when Milt Sullivant dove over from the three- yard line late in the fourth quarter. . . .

Miller scored the Kansas touchdown by reeling off nine yards into pay dirt. Chester Gibbons added the point. The Missouri game, the forty - eighth annual meeting between the two schools, was heralded as the passing duel of the century. Miller vent into the fray with a record of 19 completions in 26 attempts and Christman had connected with an even half of his passes for over 775 yards. The duel, however, did not materialize. Kansas bottled Christman ' s aerials and Miller threw only 11 times. Christman completed but two of his tosses, while Miller found the mark five times. The game featured the brilliant running of Myron Council and Bill Cunningham, Tiger full- backs. Although it was Bud Orf, Christman and Ronald King who scored for Missouri, Council and Cunningham did the heavy work around the mid-field stripes. (Continued on Page 157) A college football game is something more than a couple of goalposts, twenty-two men, and a pigskin. It ' s an all-school project of terrific dimensions.

Student came to clas e that Wednesday morn- ing a boo . Every time the whistle blew, all the leather-lunged were ordered to yell Beat MI HU! Hobo Day was held previous to Mis- souri games, until 1934 when it was incorporated in the Homecoming ceremonies. The year 1926 brought the most glorious of the Hobo Days. In our present state of enlighten- ment, the activities on that memorable morning might be referred to darkly as vandalism. Old Fraser Hall, it was said, quavered (without bene- fit of earthquake) as it looked down on the activities. Various oldsters believe that the old building jelled rather than weakened on that day. growing stronger in the face of each new campus fracas. Students had been asked to attend classes in a state of order and decorum, but the frivolous outnumbered the earnest. They organized a mob and attempted to break up classes, verily in a crude manner. One bard-working student unwittingly drove his grocery delivery car on the campus. The mob stopped the car, ate some of the food and carefully preserved the perishables. Most of these were thrown in the general direction (par- ticularly butter, eggs and bread) of a young law professor who was attempting to conduct his class in the usual fashion. Confidently the stu- dents, in gilded derbies, gunny sacks, Indian blankets, cowboy outfits, and all manner of ap- parel turned wrong-side out, loped down the Campus and proceeded to build a bonfire in front of the chemistry building. In this very building Professor Cady in his underclass days had helped prepare slink bombs many years ago. But no stink bombs were forthcoming in 1926. Then an unknown opportunist whose name has been lost to history -- had a bright idea. Salome, he decided, Salome the gracious and - the beautiful must call on the Chancellor. Salome. despite her lovable charm, was typical of her order in that she was obstinate. For Salome was a donk - . After coaxing, prodding, and many heart-rending mo- ments when the ringleaders thought the cause would be lost, Salome was ushered into the office. And that was the climax of Hobo Day, 1926. Doctor Yak for many years was an integral part of Hobo Day. He gave his medicine show each year ami distributed his pink pills to pale people and in- stilled pep in their souls. But the venerable and mythical medicine man gave way to the new innova- tions in Hobo Day specifically the fraternity dui-k races and the mouse races of the sororities. Intricarii-- of duck racing will be touched upon in a later issue. The mouse races, or mice races, were elegant. Full details of the grooming process have never been ob- tained, but it seems only logical that each sorority fed and brushed the candidate for many weeks before the event. According to official rules, no mouse could measure more than seven inches from stem to stern. The Greek letters of its backers were painted on one sleek side. A beautiful satin ribbon was tied around his neck, cheese placed in front, and they were off! The oldster, if properly tired with long questioning. may admit that there were occasional difficulties fol- lowing the ceremonies. In 1932, for example, members of the K Club and MSC policed the campus during activities. Then on the other hand the administra- tion, during slack years, warned the students that if they didn ' t display more interest, the institution would be abolished. At all events members of the old guard observed Hobo Day silently this year, albeit wiping a lone tear from the eye. Chapel scraps or fights were once as much an in- stitution here as chapel itself. The convocation- were held in Fraser theater, and were compulsory. Freshmen sat in the gallery. Once each year men of the sophomore class invaded Chapel, engaging in hand-to-hand struggles with first-year men. Thus was the lowly freshman given to understand his position in the eyes of the sophomore. DECEMBER 1939 107 In 1902 the fight was so furious that one student was shoved over the hanister of the stairway. He did a neat flip-flop, saving, fortunately, hoth life and limit. The noise of raised voices was terrific by this time, and Chancellor Strong was exceedingly wroth. When he decided the crowd was out of hand, he ordered the fire hose turned on them. Sophomores cut the hose. The Chancellor was still mad the next day, and he decreed that never again should there be a Chapel scrap. And so there never was. If any lack of approval lurks in the unconscious of the feminine mind concerning men and their methods of squiring about, it is something one just doesn ' t talk about in the cold light of day. Under the bland light of the moon, it recedes into the background the feminine mind being engrossed with the situation at hand. In small, select bull sessions, however, the situation is given due attention. Feminine rancor i s given outlet in the proximity of the calm rays of the study lamp. Some students of the dance and of dating are firm and righteous in their belief that it is given further outlet upon one more occasion the Puff Pant Prom. You will understand that this article is not designed to propagate the idea the Prom may or may not be a soul-to-soul demonstration of what women really think of the stag and the dance-date. The idea is merely one to be toyed with at leisure. At least we know that when men are discovered at the Prom, it is to their own confusion and often grief. RECALLING CERTAIN POIGNANT FEATURES OF PAST HORO DAYS, NOT TO MENTION CHAPEL FIGHTS AND PUFF PANT PROMS by AGNES MUMERT Once upon a time the dances were held in Robinson gymnasium. As a certain Puff Pant Prom wore on towards midnight two dancers were suspected. Small groups of women dancers ceased their sprightlincss and gathered in whispering groups to fix the accusing eye and point the menacing finger. The disguised men were rushed. Before they could droop the demure eyelids they were downstairs and in the swimming pool. One crawled out, but the other was rapidly drowning. Whereupon the bravest of the maidens jumped in and pulled him out. He liked it so well that he crawled on the diving board and jumped in again. The Prom was definitely a success. Sorority sisters, incidentally, decided to kill two birds with one stone and duck the pledges. Several years later the Prom was in full swing in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building. It so happened that two English students were here for a debate. After the smoker in the lobby, a jokester suggested that they go upstairs where a dance is in progress. It is recounted that the English students had a remarkable time surpassed only by their dancing partners? When all was found out, the women lined up on both sides of the door to watch their exit. At all events, the women were very likely just as slap-happy this year as in the past. Perhaps their actions were those of the oppressed and the critical. If so we doubt if it did much good. Every time Uncle Jimmy gets a coat of (purple) paint, students walk by and shake the head with a few murmured My, my ' s. Before the tongue cluck- ing becomes too solicitous, they might recall what some of us have done at Kansas State. The incident will be mentioned only briefly without mention of names or dates. It was a few days before a big event at Kansas State a long-planned stock show. On the fine morning in question, the Pride-and- Hope of the college ambled in from the pasture shorn of curled hair and with a scarlet K painted on his side.

The Kansas IMavers Gave I- O ' Neill and Sarovan, .Melodrama and Ilealtem by BILL FEY OT LONG ago, the Kansas Players, noteworthy -1 group that it is, presented two plays as a curtain raiser for the dramatic season. Both efforts caused no end of comment by pro- and con-ers. It goes without saying that this is not the first time that third party ear-witnesses have heard both stink and marvel- ous in describing a K. P. production. In the final unal .-i-. however, there must be a why to the things good or bad in a play. To the guy who carelessly shoves aside a play with It ' s what Mr. Underwood puts in cans, I dedicate this stint. First lo grace the creaking boards of Fraser Theatre was Emperor Jones, an earlier Eugene O ' Neill expe- riment. It wan generally liked for several reasons, not the least of which was the excellent talents of some eighteen negro xtudcntH. And by no means the least of tliPM wao Lorenzo Fuller who turned into a near- One Stark, One Subtle professional Brutus Jones for the time he was a-stage. Here ' s why Jones was a perfectly solid charartrr: lie had the naturally deep, resonant voice qualities of his race, which, when combined with an authorita- tive or pleading tone, got his idea across the footlights. When an actor is required to play a solo act with little help from others on stage, his every word, go- ture. and expression must convey far more meaning l his audience. Fuller played his solo acts right to the audience. Counterpart character to Jones was the disreputa- ble Mr. Smithers, who appeared in the first and last scenes. Rolla Nuckles, along with his direction of tin- show, grabbed Smithers by the nape of the neck and dispensed with him in goodly fashion. With cockney accent and smirking, sneaky mannerisms he made the audience detest Smithers. Well and good. You wen- supposed to detest the guy, hence the character miicl have been finely enough drawn. One could hardly ask for more of the actor. Think back to outstanding moments in the show and you will doubtless place the witch dance of Warren Littlejohn high on your list. Why? The very natural answer, the boy can dance. The remainder of the 29-member cast note especially Louise Harris as the native woman gave admirably of their wares to the cause of motivation and concreteness. Behind every play is the director, with whom lies the task of making an acted show out of a printed play. He is the spark which can cause the light of a play or its blow-up. Director Nuckles, by the e i- dence, put forth plenty of electrical current. Though it is hard to put a finger on any one particular thing which makes a play right or wrong, technically The Emperor Jones was right: Scenery and lighting. which combined to give the effect of depth and eeri- ness in the forest; the increasing intensity of the tom- tom drums through successive scenes; the pantomom- ists ' effects; the wailings of the hidden chorus, which hit only one sour note in four performances. Re- markable! And now, we approach, with utmost caution, the second play of the twin bill, My Heart ' s in the High- lands. Whereas Emperor Jones is stark, un- adorned and is literally rammed down the collective throats of the audience, My Heart ' s in the High- lands. is a mass of gentle subtlety served up on a silver platter, but a long reach from the audience. (Continued on Page 160) If 1 The Bitter ... by BETTY COULSON ITS JUST like getting married to belong to a sorority. At least there ' s a clause in every pledge strangely similar to the love, honor, and obey till death do us part phrase in the mar- riage ceremony. But once the brief honeymoon that follows the marriage of a girl to a sorority during rush week is over, the pledge finds that sorority life isn ' t always an Aladdin ' s dream come true. She dis- covers that the girl she had thought to be a mod- ern version of Shakespeare ' s Juliet, wears a horrible, stiff, white face-pack to bed each night and has never been known to say anything agree- able before 1 :30 in the afternoon. She finds that telephones don ' t answer them- selves. That doorbells have a pernicious habit of ringing. And that co-eds never know that dawn has sprung unless someone tells them. And fo the faithful pledge painfully prepares fttunts for active amusement once a week, clings to her housemother ' s elbow at all University func- tions, fetches glasses of water, makes beds, en- dures hints on who to date, how to wear her hair, and why skirts hang better after a trip to the ironing board. But promises made during rush week are not all forgotten. A sorority usually does, and always tries to, live up to its ideal, that of: Streamlining green freshmen into poised women who tomorrow will be at home in any surrounding Park Ave- nue drawing room to midwestern cottage. Greek life may be chaotic, nerve-wracking, pocketbook-wrecking, headaching but no one will deny that it is glamourous. The sorority girl ' s surroundings are almost hotel-like in their luxuri- ousness. Well-balanced meals are served to her regularly by courteous attendants. Maid service is hers at least occasionally. And she finds that house furnishings are kept in furniture-store- display condition by subservient alumnae. But often the Grecian has little vision to see her opportunities for the fog of action which blinds her. She is nudged constantly on all sides to keep up her grades, to keep up her dating, to keep up her activities all for the sake of the chapter. Between times she is expected to sand- wich in hours spent in making reports to her national headquarters, in entertaining province, section, or United States officers, in dressing for faculty dinners, teas, parent-receptions. I If not a well-rounded college life, the sorority girl can at least boast a well-varied college life. To say I ' ve had an easy day in sorority dialect means : I went to two classes; had a coke date at the Union; studied an hour in the library; ate lunch at a friend ' s sorority house; sat through another class; attended two committee meetings; prac- ticed basketball; conferred ten minutes with my adviser; wrote a letter home; dressed for dinner; played two or three hands of bridge; attempted to be scintillating at the regular midweek; danced somewhat groggily for a couple of hours downtown; came back to the house; studied an hour ; and then bulled with some of the girls for an hour and a half about men, love, life, and death. Bull sessions may often be interrupted by the occasional but infrequent Phi Beta Kappa aspi- rant who slams a door open and shut to scream Quiet Hours! But in the cloistered secrecy of the early-morning gab-fest, one gets her greatest chance to study sorority types. And there are as many different brands as there are girls in the house : The A-Date-Tonight- Is-Worth-Two-A ' s-Tomorrow advocate. The flut- tering Everybody ' s - So - Wonderful - and - Gee - Ain ' t-College-Fun propagandist. The Everybody- Hates-Me-Nobody-Loves-Me sob-sister. The seri- ous I-Don ' t-Know-What-I ' ve-Done-To-Deserve-It- But-I ' ll Try-To-Be-Worthy convert. And so today ' s pin-wearers pass their mael- stromic days, quarreling relatively little, living together in surprising accord. They have their petty peeves getting dressed for dinner, fighting for the showers, having to patiently endure loan sharks who barrow everything from a squeeze of toothpaste to an expensive fur chubby but those peeves are forgotten almost as quickly as they are acquired. . . . Tomorrow when Greek actives are alumnae, they will remember only the greater things. Studying together over jealously-hoarded quiz files, far into the dawn, for the next day ' s finals. Crouching pajama-clad,in front of a fireplace for midnight feeds. Screaming jubilantly when the candy is brought in at dinner and a fraternity pin becomes the possession of a sister. Hilariously chasing each other about the halls. Or leaning, moonstruck, from windows, doors, or upper porches, to catch the melodic wanderings of fra- ternity serenaders. . . .

All Individualist; . rhM to Think In Term f ih- Collective .IMM! and There ' s Behind Thai A 31 - YEAR - OLD IDEA by FRIEDA COWLES Pi l I M M lawmakers are celebrating the thirtieth I anniversary of their organization this year. Execu- tives and legislators, at their by-weekly meetings they make the laws that govern more than 1500 women students at the University. As a group, they are ener- getic young women crowding their college life with extra-curricular activities; as individuals, no two are like. Yclma Wilson ' s election to the presidency of W. S. G. A. last spring climaxed a busy college career. She loves the work connected with her office; finds her weekdays taken up with studying and meetings, and her week-ends by a medic student from Kansas City; had planned to be a counsellor in a girls ' school until she decided that she liked the prospect of being a doctor ' s wife better. Likeable, dark-eyed Betty McVey is vice-president of the executive council as well as president of the House Presidents ' Association, while Treasurer Jean Robertson keeps the financial records straight and out of the red. Last year Jean was a featured soloist with Clyde Bysom ' s orchestra. Winifred Jameson, smiling, efficient president of the Jay Janes, usually arrives at the council meetings on the last stroke of seven with the minutes of the last meeting in her hand writing the minutes is only a part of her job as secretary. The work of the W. S. G. A. is varied and its projects numerous. With the M. S. C. it regulates the Student State-Wide Activities Commission composed of the County Clubs and Student Correspondents ' Bureau; sponsors the Varsity dances; supervises the publica- tion of the student directory and the K-book; and regulates traffic rules and speed limits on the Campus. It sponsors the Students ' Book Exchange, but leaves the actual management to Helen Pierce, a business major, whose personal Utopia includes long orderly columns of figures waiting to be computed she wants to be an auditor some day. This year, Elhelyn Burns keeps the tea pot boiling hot for the weekly Wednesday afternoon teas in the women ' s lounge in Frank Strong Hall. She plans with the women ' s organizations which act, once each school year, as hostess to the rest of the University wonirn. A top-notch volleyball player as well as an efficient point system manager is Elizabeth Barclay, who has been instrumental in the revision this fall of the W r . S. G. A. point system. Margaret Learned, an indefatigable Y. W. C. A. worker; Ruth Olive Brown, who looks after the voca- tional guidance work of the organization; and artist Helen Finke frequently look on as Jeanne Bruess takes advantage of the council hour to add several more rows to whatever it is she is knitting. Some of the others who gather fortnightly about the council table are friendly, interesting Barbara K.l- monds; June Aumiller, who says little, but means VELMA WILSON All University Women are members of the Women ' !, - bownfnf Association. We of the executive Council are the representative, to help carry out the three purposes of the Asm- ciation which are: (I) To osier among women of the University a feeling of mutual re l llily and high regard for liberty and order; ,, ' , i, igh standards of scholarship and lite- (JJ Jo promote loyalty to the University. Here ' s to greater fellowship among all women of the Uni, ; ; MM . Velma Wilson, President. DECEMBER 1939 127 what she says; Betty Jane Boddington, prize winner at the Gingham Frolic in 1936 for owning the fieriest mop of hair present; Corinne Martin, student, writer, and English major; argumentative Betty Kimble who has heen on her class debate squad for three years; BETTY McVEY JEAN ROBERTSON a flutist demure Dorothy Hendrikson; Jeanne Moyer, one of the few feminine members of the Uni- versity Band; and Mary Garrison who plans to com- plete her education with a MRS. degree shortly after graduation in the spring. The two newest council members are the freshman representatives: Ruth Moritz, quiet and much like her brother Paul, and Martha Ann Hall, who already has made the freshman debate squad. This year, for the first time, members of the coun- cil have selected an insignia for their organization that will be used for years to come a tiny Jayhawk bearing the letters WSGA which may be worn on a chain or bracelet. Not totally devoid of excitement is the history of the W. S. G. A. since its organization in 1909. The grad- uating class of women of that year left a memorial in the form of a rule forbidding mid-week dates for students of their sex. Ninety-nine of the one hundred ten who voted were in favor of the rule believing it would protect the health and grades of underclass- men especially freshmen. The following year, the W. S. G. A. incorporated the rule in their constitution and there it remained for years to come not for- gotten, but unenforced. In 1914, the rule was resur- rected. Speeches were made. Feeling ran high. Some said, Take the rule off the books or enforce it. Others clamored for a student vote on the rule until it was granted. Several over-eager students arrived at the polls a week early, but on the crucial day, too few women cast their votes to repeal the law: a majority vote of all women enrolled in the University was required. Even as late as 1918, University women could make no engagement with University men for later than 8 o ' clock except on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. Exceptions were made, however, for the last ten days an enlisted man was in school and escort home from the library was not considered an infrac- tion of the rule. . . . Out of the old May Day festival grew the K. U. Follies which developed in the W. S. G. A. musical comedy and in time was replaced by the carnival of today all of which had for their purpose the raising of funds for scholarships for University women. This year one gift and six loan scholarships will be offered on the basis of high scholarship and need of financial assistance. While the aims and functions of the W. S. G. A. have remained essentially the same throughout the thirty years of its life, changes in the method of law (Continued on Page 165) Second Row: Hendrikson, Garrison, Boddington, Learned, Barclay, Pierce, Kerber, Edmonds, Moyer.

Perhaps, then, the reason for Ruth Olive Brown ' s varied interests lies in the fact that she does so many things well. In the course of her college career Ruth Olive has been secretary of the sophomore class, vice- president of the Y. W. C. A., and is now a mem- ber of Tau Sigma, treasurer of Kappa Alpha Theta, member of Mortar Board, and college representative on the W. S. G. A. council. When not at some committee meeting or busy in lab she likes a nicely balanced reading diet of nonsensical Wodehouse and historical Zweig or a long walk in the country. For week-ends she will take dancing, ball games, and picnics. Ruth Olive is the perfect antidote for chronic cynicism. Her boundless enthusiasm is conta- gious, and others find it a very pleasant infection. Only one thing annoys her, and that is having nothing to do. She is practically never annoyed. She might have become a social worker if she hadn ' t been so fascinated by sceintific theories and problems that she decided to be a laboratory technician instead. And if problems of earning a living weren ' t so important she would probably fulfill her dream of a home in the mountains ' from which she could view and climb ruggel peaks and have perfect picnic grounds at her back door plus a welcome for visitors at the front. Bob Hedges. II IE Of course everyone knows that Helen Johnson is a heauty queen. But nobody can live on heauty contests (tho they are nice) and Helen doesn ' t intend to. To solve the prohlem of what to do after graduation she has worked out her own formula: College for a liberal education and business school for specific training. Thus doubly armed and on the basis of very practical experi- ence in bill-collecting and budget-balancing as treasurer for Kappa Kappa Gamma, Helen expects to work her way into the otherwise often blonde-proof business world. (Special note for men: Helen ' s pet peeve is the male student who insists that two out of every three girls come to college to snare a husband.) Besides her financial ' rithmetic and the readin ' and writin ' of her English major, Helen finds interest in novels by Pearl Buck and John Steinbeck and in side studies in American government and Spanish. On the lighter side, she ' ll take parties and dances and people who know how to have a good time sober. She likes people with a good sense of humor and she lives up to that, herself. Bob Hedges.

The place where you can see girls as they really are, is at Robinson Gym- nasium. Keen competition marked by true sports- manship comes to the front as sorority girls and independents vie for intramural honors. Shorts are predominant on the volleyball courts, while slacks are the thing to wear on the archery range. These athletes are not all homely and tomboyish either. Denny Lemoine and Virginia Anderson, Pi Phis, and the Irwin sisters from Gower Place are among the top ranking stars. The fall group of sports has been completed. In volleyball, the group winners were as follows : group 1, Pi Beta Phi; group 2, Kappa Kappa Gamma; group 3, Watkins, Miller, and Corbin halls tied ea ch had two wins and one loss; group 4, I. W. W. (independent team). In the final volleyball playoff, the Pi Phis beat the Kappas. Corbin walked away from Watkins. Corbin advanced to trounce the Pi Phis, and then lost the championship to the independent team. I. W. W. Seven K. U. hockey players went to St. Louis to play in the tournament of the Mid-Western division of the American Field Hockey Associa- tion. They were : Geraldine Ulm, Evelyn Herri- man, Evelyn Kinney, Virginia Hartmann, Wanda Horosko, Virginia Bell, and Lois Wisler. One of two women in Kansas who is a nationally rated official, Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of physical education, officiated at the tournament. Hockey has gained in popularity at the Uni- versity so much that on October 21, the second annual hockey sports day was attended by eight university teams and two private club teams. They were: Wichita University, K. S. T. C. at Pittsburg, K. S. T. C. at Hays, Ottawa University, (Continued on Page Kansas Views I lew Sporting Event MI KIII-: A BIG CROWD IN TOWN TO SEE THAT CORN GET HUSKEII Richard Hut It. second place winner, shows how it ' s done.

This is an unusual view by air of the contest in progress. The arrows point to the relative positions of the huskers and their corn-filled go-carts. (Photo by Bert Brandt.) by MAURICE JACKSON THE National Cornhusking Contest here No- vember 3, was the biggest thing Lawrence had seen since Quantrill ' s raid in 1863. For a day. Lawrence with its suburb, Cornville was the third largest city in Kansas, exceeded only by Wichita and Kansas City in population. Although the attendance fell far short of the 199,000 printed on the road sign, and most of the Lawrence churches which were expecting to pay off the debt with their concessions went deeper into debt, there were more people on the F. H. Leonhard farm for the farmer ' s world series than Lawrence had ever seen before. State highway patrol officials estimated that the attend- ance was near 112,000 and judging from the way cars were crowded on the highways for miles around this estimate cannot be far from wrong. The contest grounds took on the air of a big county fair. The largest tent was that contain- ing the Resourceful Kansas Exhibit; it was 500 feet long and 80 feet wide. There were over 40 concession tents, and perhaps 20 more larger tents containing farm machinery, motor car, and other exhibits. Cornville had a water system, its own grocery store, streets and avenues, and the sheriff even imported a portable jail for the lawbreakers.

(Dutchy is the dog which John received from the Seeing Eye Institute at Morristown, New Jersey, last suminer.) John and his wife, also blind, accompanied by Dutchy, attend all the football games, dramatic per- formances, and other Hill activities. The Urichi jt re- fer to talk about Dutchy, who has made the world a new place 1 for them. Dutchy also has his practical uses. For instance, he is very conscientious about getting to school on time. When in class he remains quietly at the side of the chair while John takes notes in Braille. Like all good girls, Dutchy will have a birthday party (with a cake) on her birthday, Janu- ary 3.

A haton expert, she was first division winner in three successive annual national contests and top winner in nationwide competition at Chicago. Now she is breaking tradition as the first girl drum major in K. U. band history. In high school at Topeka Saralena was interested in twirling, journalism, and politics, and these are the interests which she carries into her freshman year in the college. (Of course, K. U. ' s women don ' t have any politics. ) For her major she is debating between journalism and design. Dancing is her recreation and once was her career she toured as a toe dancer with a stock company one summer. Now she is a Tau Sigma and an advo- cate of more and bigger varsities. Thousands of miles of travel have not satiated her interest in that direction. She ' d like to go back to the East where the people are cultured, back down South where she finds them friendly, out West where they brag about their climate, everywhere to see all the things she has missed before. Like her baton, Saralena is always on the go. Bob Hedges. George Lupfer There are three men in the world who can juggle five Indian clubs simultaneously. One of these men is George Lupfer, chemical engineer and recently ap- pointed Summerfield Scholar. An ex-stage performer in his home town (Larned) first took an interest in George and taught him his first stunts. At the age of twelve the boy began diligent practice, specializing in Indian clubs. He ' s juggled in county fairs and theaters and managed to pay half his first year ' s expenses at the University. He once worked seven months to perfect a single feat. Claims that athletic ability is not necessary rhythm and timing are. George wouldn ' t mind trying the stage for a while but not as a career. In his first stab at University education he had business training in view, but a chemistry course changed his mind. Now he wants most to become a successful chemical engineer. Dick Oliver.

DECEMBER 1939 Miss Florence Black I can broil the best steak you ever tasted. Miss Black is a pastmaster at outdoor cooking. But her biscuits well, they ' re something else again, she says, with that quick, warm smile. Born on a cattle ranch near Meade, Kansas, Miss Florence Black received her A.B., A.M. and Ph.D. at K. U. Besides this she had some graduate work at Chicago University. From the intricacies of calculus and analytics she finds relaxa- tion in swimming, riding and tennis. She is a familiar figure at H. D. Hill ' s stables. Miss Black has traveled 150,000 miles, driv- ing Algebraic Analytic (she christens each car thusly.) Every summer, in her boots and trousers she lives more or less a n l sy life, camping out, sleeping on the ground in deserts, mountains and prairies. Coming back from Alaska this summer, her ship hit a rocky i-lainl. It took the captain four days to decide that the ship was seaworthy, and there was much interim speculation as to life belts, swimming endurance and accesibility of the precipitous island. Add to unique experiences: being paid a quarter by a filling station boy for being patient once while he was swamped with work and couldn ' t get to Algie Ann III right away. Miss Black declares that it seemed nothing short of miraculous for a school- teacher to be paid for her patience. Mr. D. I.. Patterson Prof. D. L. Patterson counts as his most unique experience his service as war correspondent during the summers of 1916 and 1917. He covered the front line to get weekly exclusives for Pittsburgh newspapers. After seeing all six continents, Prof. Patterson prefers France to all other foreign countries. He has taken at least 3,000 pictures during his ten ocean-crossings, and is especially proud of his photographs of the ruins of the 6 l 2 - acre building which substantiates the Myth of the Labyrinth. Prof. Patterson attended Pennsylvania State College, where he was editor of the college paper. After graduating, he worked on Pittsburgh papers for seven years, starting out as reporter and resigning as city editor to take graduate work at Columbia University, Marburg University in Germany, and the University of Wisconsin. He came here in 1908, where he has taught in the history department ever since with the exception of one year ' s visit to the University of Wisconsin. He belongs to the American Historical Association and the American Federation of Teachers. Travel is his avocation, golf his diversion, and ancient his- tory still fascinates him after thirty years of teaching. Students say much of that fascination is transmitted in the classroom.

THE JAYHAWKF. R Down Among The Dead Men lloctors-To-Be Iteally Spend Most of Their Time Staring Down Microscopes by BOB BROOKS YES SIR! If one follows his nose on a cold day, he undoubtedly will notice that pungent odor of for- malin wafting from the windows of the medic-crowded anatomy building. Indeed, any morning except Sun- day will find the not-so-gay ninety doctors-to-be, scalpels in hand, zealously inhaling the full-flavored redolence put forth by the silent partners of the anatomy laboratory. Although John Stiff, deceased January, 1927, is a natural object of curiosity to the inexperienced scholar, to one who has spent as long as one week with him, he holds no particular fascination. In fact, he has become just another contributor to the endless store of knowledge necessary to the medical student. Certainly it is true that the microscopic knowledge of the human system is fully as essential as that of its grosser aspects. Strange as it may seem, the path- ology of this complex layout known as the human being, may be read with far greater assurance through the high-powered lens than with the naked eye. And so, if not by their bones which they tote cam- pusward, certainly by their microscopes shall ye know them. For throughout four long afternoons of that seven-day struggle called the week, these eager, em- bryonic doctors peer down the barrels of their respec- tive instruments, attempting to identify at the other end ouch minutiae as polvmorplis, haemocytoblasts, or poMil.lv the anatomical detail of a 10 millimeter foetal P ' S- riif-i-. according to the freshman in. .In - are outstanding personal!- lie of the 1940 claw.

' THE JAYHAU ' KER Soda-Jerking Isn ' t the Whole Story KanNaw Only M.I- Highly School of Pharmacy lli ' i|iiirrm ' iil. by LESTER DOERR ALTHOUGH it has the smallest enrollment of any school in the university, the school of Pharmacy is by no means the least important. Only eighty-four students are enrolled for the current year, but they hold an important place in the university and in the state: there is no other school in Kansas for the training of future pharmacists. Under pressure from the Kansas Pharmaceu- tical Association, the legislature in 1885 passed an act providing That the Board of Regents of the State University be directed to establish, without delay, a chair of pharmacy in said institu- tion. In June of that year the Board of Regents in accordance with the act elected Lucius E. Sayre. Ph.G. (of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy), as professor of pharmacy and or- dered the opening of the department for the fall term. This event was celebrated locally with great enthusiasm: there was a bonfire on Mas- sachusetts plug speeches. The pharmacists chose these ai their representative this year. Ber n.ii.l Wallmrn i- pretidenl; Charles Kleine and Joe Wise are viee-preni- dents; and Mildred Johnson is sec- retary. The quarters for the newly created department were in what is now the journalism building- then the chemistry building. Soon new space was provided by excavating the east basement. Sev- eral years later the north basement was also ex- cavated and finished for the same purpose. In 1891, a School of Pharmacy was established in accordance with an act of the legislature in 1889. Professor Sayre was made dean and pro- fessor of pharmacy and materia medica, a posi- tion which he held until his death, July 21, 1925. The present Chemistry building was con- structed in 1900 to provide more roomy quarters for the chemists and pharmacists. This building, now called the E. H. S. Bailey Chemical Labora- tories in honor of Dr. E. H. S. Bailey, onetime head of the chemistry department, has since be- come over-crowded. The pharmacy classes use only a small part of the building. Professor L. D. Havenhill became dean and professor of pharmacy and materia medica in 1926. He is a graduate of the Universities of Michigan and Kansas and came to K. U. in 1899. He is a quiet, kindly man with a sense of humor and reminds one of the family physician. The School of Pharmacy offers three types of courses of study each leading to the degree of B.S. in pharmacy: the commercial course provides a liberal choice of electives in economics, business psychology, etc. It prepares for the duties of registered pharmacist and eventual drugstore ownership. The second plan, the scientific, re- quires foreign language, higher mathematics, ami advanced work in the chemical and biological sciences. It prepares for work in the field of chemical and biological science and for the pre- paration and analysis of foods and drugs. The premedical plan is for those who wish to legally qualify as pharmacists before beginning the course in medicine. (Continued on Page 160) DECEMBER 1939 141 Gilbert G.

Oread and replaced the venerable vine- covered Snow Hall which once flanked the med- ics ' bungalow and obscured part of Watson li- brary from University Drive. Dedicated to in- struction in biology, it celebrates this year a successful decade in pounding the facts of life into an ever larger enrollment. We walked into Dr. Hungerford ' s office, and as l efits the head of the entomology department, found him classifying a batch of bugs. From Para. Brazil, he remarked briefly, they ' re for the Snow collection. And what a collection is housed here! over a million and a half specimens, with annual expeditions to the four corners of the continent adding thousands. It ' s the best University collection in Amer- ica, said Hungerford, although Harvard may have us beat in a few groups. He stepped into the collection room, showed us a few drawers of fat insects. We were amazed at the utter impor- tance of detail. Here ' s a very nice specimen, Hungerford pointed, and muttered some lop-sided Latin. Snow got some of these beetles in 1876 out in western Kansas, and charged European collectors eighty dollars a pair for them. ... He probably made more money out of the wild west than the average resident. . . . Enough entomology, we figured, and slipjM-il down the polished stairways to the zoology floor where students handle snakes with careless fu- ture. Edward Taylor was in his office. Very efficient building, he commented, every floor was designed by its own department . . . But if you want to know the distinctive feature of Snow Hall, you ' ll find it in the per-mi- ality of Francis Huntington Snow, himself. . . . He died in 1908, but he ' s still here, neverthel - . And a remarkable man Snow must have been, closely identified with the founding and growth of this University. A Congregational preacher. and yet one of the first to accept and teach Dar- win ' s doctrine of evolution that was Snow. A hunter, born in the blood, who forgot Lawrence ordinances, shot quail out of his bedroom win- dow, and then staved off arrest temporarily hy pleading that he had to lead prayers in church within the hour that too was Snow. But the Snow that everyone loved was the genial teacher who pranced about Mt. Oread on a pony for a decade and finally took up bicycling; a scientist who braved bloodthirsty Apaches to enlarge his collection; the searcher who arose at three o ' clock to study insect specimens, and lie- came the Chancellor after breakfast; a Chancel- lor who wheeled his bicycle at breathtaking speeds down Mt. Oread with his feet on the handlebars. Ask retired professor Stevens; he ' ll tell you. Snow Hall stands in memory of this man. It is a modern science building, full of rushing students and busy labs, declaiming profs and de- faulting listeners. Edward Taylor was rijzlit. though, for the distinctive feature of the building is none of these it is Francis Huntington Snow. ' n. 4- i ii jii i i i I I I I II!

Sextet Wins by CHUCK ELLIOTT iili Boh Sin l.i in I and Ed Weineckc on the receiv- ing end of Vance Hall ' s bullet passes, the Betas de- feated the Sigma Nus, 6 to 0, in the finals of the II- man intramural touch football play-offs to win the coveted trophy. The only score of the game came in the final mo- ments of the first quarter on a 20-yard pass from Hall, intended for Stoland but deflected by Spangler, Sigma Nil back, into the hands of Weinecke who was standing in the end zone. Hall completed ten out of thirty passes during the game with Stoland on the business end of four of the heaves. Three of the completions to Stoland were good for 20, 40, and 55 yards. The latter play was the longest pass completion during the fall season. Stoland, besides being the chief offensive threat, also intercepted three Sigma Nu passes to be the individual star of the game. However, the entire Beta team played a smashing game as evidenced by the fact that of the ten times Sigma Nu gained pos- session of the ball, they were allowed to run only 17 plays. Of these plays, 8 were intercepted passes, two passes were incomplete, one play was thrown for a loss, and two were punts. The only gains of the day for the Sigma NUB were an offside penalty against the Betas, two completed passes for ten yards, and one wide end run for ten yards. The Betas, after tying with the Phi Psis as leaders of Division I with five victories and one tie, reached the finals of the play-offs by downing the Kappa Sig and Phi Gam aggregations. The Sigma Nus, winner of Division II with five wins and one loss, defeated the Sig Eps and Phi Psis in two very close games for their play-off victories. In Division III, the Phi Gams and Sig Eps tied for the lead with five successes and one set-back. In the finals of the six-man playoffs, the Phi Psis conquered the Sigma Chi sextet by a 12 to 2 count. Whether Stoland ever caught that puss or not, we may IM-M i kmiw, but the play itself was typical of many ex.-itinp ,nr to I,,- ., , ,, ,,n ih, intramural fields this fall. The Crimson-and-Green dominated play during the entire game and scored both of their touchdowns on passes from Anderson to Arbuckle. The Sigma Chi points resulted from a blocked punt of the Phi Psis that rolled across their end zone. In the six-man groups, the Phi Dells won four straight games to capture Division I. In Division II, the Betas and Sig Eps tied for first with four vic- tories and no defeats. In Division III, Sigma Chi edged out first place by winning three games and tieing one compared with two victories and two lies for the Phi Psi group. Upon completion of the touch football season. basketball gained the spotlight during the first week of this month and will hold sway until March. Tin- Galloping Ghosts, under the playing managership of Floyd Kelly, last year won the A division tourna- ment for the second straight time by defeating Kappa Sigma in the first two games of a two out of three series. With Kelly leading the attack once more, the Gal- loping Ghosts are favored to finish high in the final standings. Alpha Kappa Psis, one of the three V division winners of last year, the other two being Delia Chi and the Galloping Ghosts, are rated with the I ' hi (Continued on Page 160) - rrrr r - II ... Born In an ld a ... (Continued from Page 99) On the day of election, the Missourians marched into Kansas like an invading army. They kicked out the judges in the voting booths and voted pro-slavery. The Lawrence district con- tained 369 legal voters; but on that March 30, 1034 votes were cast. In the entire territory there were only 2905 qualified voters, yet 6307 men succeeded in voting. (Which suggests that Tom Pendergast ' s methods of winning elections had its roots deep in Missouri history.) The pro-slavery party won. Reeder, the terri- torial governor, would not set the election aside. The southern papers boasted that the abolition- ists must either leave Kansas or consent to live in a slave state. A body of invaders from another state had stolen a legislature and there seemed to be no appeal. After the shock was over, the conviction grew that the legislature and its laws must be repu- diated. This was Robinson ' s idea. A meeting was held in Lawrence. The people resolved to yield no submission to this alien legislature, to pay no attention to any of its laws. This was a daring position to assume and a difficult one to maintain. During the summer of ' 55 seven repudiation conventions were held in Lawrence. This repudiation principle went far towards uniting the various free-state factions in the territory; and it succeeded in nullifying the laws of the pro-slavery legislature. THE J A Y II A T K E R These are the remains (acrordinf to n I-H- frmjmrarr artist I of the old Frer-Slate Half I after the disastrous Jones Raid of 1856. The present Kldridge Hotel ii the third to be huill on the historic site. A question may arise at this point: since Lawrence did not acknowledge the territorial law. therefore it had no law. How, then, were such things as debts collected? They managed this satisfactorily. For instance, in 1857 a storekeeper on Massa- tfc chusetts Street sold a street- sprinkler (of all things!) for which the purchaser, despite his promises, never paid. One morn- ing the creditor, with two friends, arrived with revolvers, met the debtor on the street and made a final de- mand. The money was not forthcoming. They unharnessed his horse and drew the sprinkler back to the shop of the original owner. The debtor swore and threatened and cried injustice but finding a majority both in weapons and num- bers against him, he yielded to destiny. This, as our law students might inform us, was a writ of replevin in first principles! The repudiation policy did not make the pro-slavery party happy. They watched for an opportunity to bring about a clash to make the citizens either recognize or resist the laws of the bogus legislature. In November Charles Dow was murdered ten miles south of Lawrence and be- came the first of a long line of free-state martyrs. Excitement ran high. A friend of Dow, Jacob Branson, spoke up for him, and a pro-slavery Douglas County sheriff, Jones, secured a warrant for Branson ' s arrest. (Incidentally, although Jones was sheriff of Douglas County, he lived in Westport, Missouri.) Jones arrested Branson; Branson was taken from Jones by some Lawrence man; Jones and the Missourians now had a pretext for attacking Lawrence. Pro-slavery men to the member of 1500 marched into Franklin. (Franklin was a pro- slavery town three miles southeast of Lawrence. Drive out from Massachusetts Street two miles on Highway 10. On a hill to the north a few grave- dH DECEMBER 1939 stones are still visible. These, the graves of the early southern sympathizers, are all that remain of the town. ) A thousand men were in arms in Lawrence. Earthwork forts were thrown up. The largest, more than a hundred feet in diameter, stood where the WREN building now stands. For a week the town was beseiged. A few men were killed, but the assult on the town never occurred. Peace was concluded by the new governor. Shannon. Still, down on Massachusetts Street, near the present Eldridge Hotel, a single voice was raised in public protest. A newcomer to the territory mounted a dry goods box and began to denounce the peace as an attempt to gain by makeshift and compromise what can only be gained by the shed- ding of blood. Since that December day this un- known man. dragged down from the box with his speech mostly unsaid, has become known around the world. His name was John Brown. rh.i|H.-i III .... The Jones Raid The Missourians were angry; they had come to destroy Lawrence and were disappointed. Sheriff 147 Jones watched for another opportunity. Next spring, when he appeared in the town to arrest a man, somebody slapped him. This was just what he wanted. He returned with a posse of eleven men and began wholesale arrests on various charges. This time somebody shot and wounded him. This made him very happy indeed. Not so Robinson and his party. He and the people of Lawrence, under Robinson, were doing their best to commit no offense, no crime which would bring them into conflict with the author- ities whom they hated. They bore much and suf- fered much. Their control in the face of repeated insults was remarkable. Robinson and his cohorts were playing a shrewd game, a shrewder game, as it turned out, than the Missourians. On May 21, 1856, as the morning sun arose, the citizens, looking upward to Mt. Oread, saw it alive with men, many in the uniforms of the United States army. Once more the citizens re- solved to make no resistance. The invaders rode into town and stopped before the Free State Hotel, now the Eldridge. The deputy marshal arrested three men on a trumped-up charge of treason.

K [ansas Electric F0w Company THE JAYHAWKEB Then Jones appeared and sununoned the armed men to act as a posse for him. declaring that he had some writs to serve. Jones next de- manded that the citizens give up their arms. They replied that their arms were private property and refused to surrender them. Jones pronounced them rebels and began the bombardment of the hotel. Failing to destroy it, he set fire to it and burned it to the ground. Then the mob became completely reckless and looted the town to the extent of nearly $200.000. Exultant and somewhat intoxicated, the men started for their horses on Mt. Oread singing sentimental songs. Among these songs was Annie Lisle which is the original melody of our Alma Mater. John Brown was again present at this Jones Raid. Again he was disgusted at the passive re- sistance of the citizens. He had come to Kansas to fight and he wanted to get to work. He hadn ' t much longer to wait. He began by taking matters in his own hands and murdering a number of pro-slavery settlers on the Pottawatomie. Soon outrages were being committed every- where. A free-state man, going from Lawrence to Leavenworth. was shot and scalped and his scalp paraded down the streets of Leavenworth amid the cheers of the crowds. Scarcely a day passed by without its report of a new murder. Lawrence was surrounded by a series of forts or block- houses, where bands of pro-slavery men were housed, and from which they rode out on expedi- tions of plunder and revenge. Many of the people were humiliated at the thought of having allowed the raid of Sheriff Jones to pass without even a show of resistance. The pro-slavery men were cutting off food supplies. The town faced famine. Chapter IV Time to Resist Then rapidly the tide began to turn: after two years Robinson ' s shrewd Yankee plan of repudia- tion began to bear fruit. The pro-slavery outrages were printed in the press and shouted from the pulpits and platforms of the North. The whole country was in a blaze of indignation. The whole North seemed to rise at once, determined that Kansas should be free. There was but one way to make her free and that was to settle her territory with free-state men. From all sections and all classes, immigrants moved toward Kansas. The farmer left his farm. the merchant his store, the college student his classroom. They came with but one idea, a deter- mined idea about the kind of a state Kansas should be. The pro-slavery people endeavored to meet this great uprising of the North by a counter-ino e- i MI-MI. The Missouri River was the great highway to Kansas. The Missourians determined to block- ade the river. Steamboats coining up the ri er were stopped, overhauled, the free-state pas-ni- gers taken off and sent back by the next down- boat. And, the story goes, the Missourians fou in I ;i test which told them whether or not the western travellers were Yankee emigrants. They fou ml the inspiration for this test in the Bible. The Gileadites of Bible times controlled the passage of the Jordan, and whenever a fugitive sought n cross, they asked him, Art thou an Ephraimite . ' If he answered Nay they commanded him to say shibboleth, meaning an ear of corn. If he spoke it sibboleth they knew he was of the tribue of Ephraim, who were unable to make the sh sound, and slew him on the spot. So the Border Ruffians, placing guards at the chief ferries, compelled every immigrant who attempted to cross to say cow. If the unfailing keow of the Yankee betrayed him, he was turned back again.

It began in 1893 with tlii- n[i[trn- priation of fifty thousand dollars by the ; lf i ln- lure for the construction of an engiin-erinn building. Although this building was intended for thf rnpint-iT- ing department. Professor Blake, who was head nf tin- physics department, contrived to hare the north physics and electrical inserted before engineering building. That is the reason 44-year-old Itlukt Hull is a physics and not an engineering bnildinft. Professor Blake also designed the floor plan, but left the exterior to the state architect. The fiti-t ihut he admired French architecture is protetl l tin- front of Blake Hall. It is a reproduction of a French i liulrtin. even to the tall peaked roof. At that time physics consisted largely of a slntl nf magnetism. In order to facilitate experiments. 1 ' ru- fessor Blake had the building constructed entirely without iron, that is, until iron nimlmt trri tM li-nl to be installed. Unfortunately, this injected a i-tiruihle factor into the experiments every time a niiiiln mi opened! The imported rock used in the building, further more, contained iron, tvhich turned the rock brown as it weathered. Blake tried lit ttiinh purr tin ' build- ing with acid to remove the iron rust: the rtnl. ! came brouner than before. As the building has grolvn older, iron li l n h ' i been added, but the unusual appearance still remains, llf mark of a past generation.

COME IN SEE OUR COM- PLETE ASSORTMENT OF CHRISTMAS GIFTS MEN Ever been in a squall? Squalls occur on oceans, so unless you have witnessed one of these vicious storms from the deck of a vessel on the high seas, you might not know a squall jacket from a harpoon. To elucidate, the fishermen have given fashion a life-saver, so to speak, in the squall jacket, which is made of waterproofed, lightweight mate- rial on the pattern of a sweatshirt, with knit web crew neck waist, and cuffs. Full in body and sleeves, wind-resisting, and featuring a neat zipper breast pocket, this garment not only is the last word in defiance of the elements, but is swanky enough to provoke style verve even in a fisherman. And speaking of storms, winter will shortly be lashing out with all its fury, and wise Eskimos of the mid-west will be even wiser wear- ing, besides the squall jacket being shown at Ober ' s, corduroy slacks, which seem to have returned to favor among college men in the span of a few weeks. They ' re tough and durable, not to speak of being warm. Ober ' s have some nifties in cords yes, nifties, because they are now made with pleats and all the other earmarks of dressier, softer-fabric trousers. Rolled up expose a pair of heavy-oiled leather boots (the best bet, inci- dentally, for keeping the feet w ;irm and dry) they will stand the gall ' of the worst snowfalls, remaini water-repellant from waist to cull ' Sweaters change like the rel ;i-i date of Gone With the Wind, l nt the smoothest and most practical styles this season are featuring finer weaves in simple patterns, with the crew neck slipover ;nnl zipper front models predominant. Colors run in deep greens, medium tans, blues and light browns. The time is ripe for wearing sweat er- under sport coats, too, and a blend of browns with greens, and vice versa, or tan sweaters with gray or green sport jackets look snappv at any of the games or in a coke booth. Varie-colored mufflers in brushed wool or medium-weight plaids can be worn with zipper sweaters or heavyweight loggers ' jacket.- in good advantage. Before attempting to weather that gale that threatens to make you cut a class, several essentials can banish all probability of your DECEMBER 1939 151 doing so. Pigskin gloves, or even fur-lined horsehide styles, plush earmuffs, and 9-inch brushed wool sox with green and maroon tops to give them flare will baffle Jack Frost, and ensure your attendance in class. Group-striped gray worsted suits witli a blue cast will just about run the gamut of the remaining semi- formal affairs of the winter season, with the heavy-yarn tweeds in greens and browns popular for sports. Formally, you can lead the pack with a tux featuring satin lapels, for they ' re coming back. Latest style statistics show a de- mand in the East spreading west- ward. That means Woolfs in Kan- sas City have what you ' re looking for in these new styles. Winter shirts are of so many colors and patterns that it is safer to stick to white. However, Duke of Kent and round-cornered collars in soft fabrics of such colors as greens, chocolate casts, and blue- grays are currently choice. It is s urprising how the appear- ance of clothes can be altered by the correct use of color combina- tions, and correct ties and handker- chiefs can put the finishing touches to otherwise nifty combinations. This winter, with greens and browns so popular, selecting dark green ties with light brown shirts to go with brown or grey suits is the thing. When wearing green the combination should consist of a tan shirt and maroon tie; polka dots are fine if they can be ac- quired. A pocket handkerchief to match the tie tops off that neat outfit. If the suit is blue wear a dark blue tie in red or white figures and kerchief to match. (If pre- ferred, a light blue or a white one is just as neat.) White detachable collars set off good-looking ties, so when you are stumped on the shirt problem pick out a color lighter than that of the suit, wear a white collar (pointed or round corners, as you prefer) and a dark tie.

There was no championship play- off, but it was a round-robin tourna- ment. The Kansas team won every game it played. The girls defeated Wichita Club, Wichita University, Hays Teachers College, and Friend ' s University. The varsity hockey squad has won more games this year than any other former University team. The line-up is as follows: Geraldine Ulm, captain and center halfback; Lois Wisler, right wing; Virginia Anderson, left inner; Bunny Jenk- ins, right inner; Virginia Bell, cen- 153 ter forward; Alta Bingham, right i nner; Gladys Bitter, left wing; Wanda Horosko, left fullback; Vic- tory Hawkey, right halfback; Lenora Grizzell, left fullback ; Eve- lyn Herriman, right fullback; Evelyn Kinney, goal keeper; and Irene MacAdoo, left halfback. This is the first year that archery has been offered for intramural competition, but it proved popular with everyone. In the final round of shooting from both the 20-yard and the 30-yard ranges, Betty Cur- rent, Chi Omega, easily won the championship by turning in a score of 316. Her nearest rivals were trailing by more than 75 points. Martha Browning and Sue Haskins, both Pi Beta Phis, shot scores of 238 and 237 respectively. In tennis singles Betty Van Ars- dale, Pi Phi, and Jane Irwin, Kappa, battled their way to the championship bracket. In this final playoff, both players were so evenly matched that they fought most of the games to a deuce score. Van Arsdale won, in straight sets, 6-3 and 6-4. The tennis singles champion has also advanced with her partner, Malcolm Black, Delta Tau Delta, to the championship playoff with Vir- ginia Anderson, Pi Phi, and Bill Howard, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, for the mixed doubles title. Handball and horseshoes were also among the sports for fall. V. Anderson and Lois Wisler were winners in handball, and the Pi Phis won the horseshoe pitching contest. With the first quarter of the year over, it looks as if the Pi Phis might cop the grand championship cup again. But with the coming of winter sports, they will have to op- pose strong basketball and ping- pong teams from the Kappas and Corbin Hall.

(Continued jrom Page 131 ) Sponsored by farm papers in the 11 corn states the contest is con- sidered one of the greatest crowd- gathering sport events in the na- tion. The contest is more grueling than any other sport, according to Dr. F. C. Allen, for the busker must keep up a winning pace for 80 con- tinuous minutes with no halves or time-outs. Even though the champion is as much publicized as a boxing champion he received but $100. There was no admission charge to the contest; the sponsors put up all the money. Lawrence Pitzer, a husky busker from Kouts, Indiana, walked away with first money by shucking 28.59 bushels in the hour and 20 minutes. Gifts SPARKLING CRYSTAL GLASS CHINA GLASS GIFTS PLUMBING WIRING SHIMMONS SHOP 929 MASS. ST. The contest was planned as a three-day celebration, but the at- tendance the first two days was much smaller than expected and accounted for many thinking that the event had received an undue buildup. It may have been a strictly agri- cultural event, but the University of Kansas played no little part in its planning and program. The field on which the hybrid corn for the buskers was planted belongs to the University. It is a part of the 1000-acre farm which Charles Rob- inson, first governor of Kansas, gave to K. U. The University had a booth in the huge Resourceful Kansas Ex- hibit which helped to impress upon people the important contributions K. U. is making to the state. Ac- claimed by many as the outstanding booth in the exhibit, it has as a background a blue outline of the University campus against a crim- son sky. The central attraction was the metronoscope of the School of Edu- cation, and although the story about the little rhinoceros did be- come a little monotonous, visitors were continually watching it. On the other end of the booth the School of Pharmacy demonstrated the extracting of a newly discov- ered vitamin from alfalfa which is a preventive of the common cold. The School of Engineering and the department of painting, bac- teriology, botany, entomology, psy- chology, and zoology were also rep- resented. This wasn ' t the only booth which University people prepared. Pro- fessor Crafton prepared a booth on dramatic art and the theater in Kansas. There was a booth on music in Kansas. The exhibit of weather and climate in Kansas was made by Professor Posey. And THE JAYHAWKER tin- K.m-.i- Gt lopical Survey had booth of huge photographic en- l.ii Hi-im-lll- M liirli lilt- K. I .

Eugene Crabh, and Wallace Kunkle; Robert Jenk- ins gave a marimba solo; and the Barlnr Shop Seven composed of K. U. students rendered a few of the old ballads. As usual the K. U. band was drafted for the Contest parade which introduced the eleven state champions and runners-up to the crowd on the grounds just before the opening bomb at 11:45 Friday. The big treat of the weekend for those of us who climb Mt. Oread every day of the week, was the half- day holiday which the University Senate proclaimed. This was not done to give students a chance to see the buskers in action, but to let them witness the K. U.-Kansas State football game which had been changed from Saturday to Friday, with the plan that some of the Kan- sas farmers might like to see the Kansas rivals clash. Intentions were to fill the stadium with all these visitors, but something went wrong and there were only about 20,000 present to see Kansas take its beat- ing at the hands of the Aggies, 21-6. All in all the weekend of Nov. 3 wa the biggest thing that Lawrence and K. U. had ever seen or ever will ee for a long time. Kansas: Born In an Idea {Continued from Page 148) The blockade only shifted the tide northward. A way was opened through Iowa and Nebraska and soon the tide began to flow in its new channel. And now, the people of Law- rence, finding the state being filled with free-staters, commenced to fight. The only cannon they pos- sessed had been taken by Jones and was at Franklin. They attacked this fort first in order to secure the cannon and use it against the other forts. They subdued Franklin and recovered their cannon. (A word, now, about this cannon, Old Sacramento. It had seen service in the Mexican War had been smuggled into Lawrence had been used by Sheriff Jones against the hotel, thus becoming the first cannon to fire a shot for the pro- slavery cause. After its capture at Franklin, it was used against the other forts, thus being also the first cannon to fire a shot for the anti- slavery cause. This gives it a unique position among our cannons. It is now in the Lawrence Room in Wat- son Library where it may be seen any day.) After they recovered Old Sacra- mento, the men realized that they bad no cannon balls. Then they remembered the type from the Herald of Freedom press which had been scattered and thrown into the river by pro-slavery men. So they gathered up the type and type metal and molded them into balls for the cannon. They aimed the cannon first at Fort Saunders. And every time a ball was fired into the Ruffians ' stronghold they checked off another issue of the Herald of Freedom. Eventually all the forts were subdued. That, of course, incited the pro-slavery crowd to renewed II efforts. This sort of thing went on year after year. For instance, during the next fall 3000 men were stationed at Frank- lin, ready to attack Lawrence. On this occasion trouble was avntr.1 by Governor Geary who used U. S. troops, for the first time, to pro- tect the town. And the m- i -ar. at another election, the Missonri- ans once more came over ami stuffed the ballot box. We have reached only the s|irin of 1857. The trouble went n through ' 57 and ' 58 and ' 59. Fin- ally the free-staters were strong enough to elect their own legisla- ture. This new legislature ad- journed from Lecompton (the IIT- ritorial capital) to Lawrence. Tin- old laws were burned in a big bun- fire all except one copy which was sent to the Governor of Missouri with the statement that the people of Kansas had no further use for it. Just as conditions were growing settled, Nature added a few blows. In 1860 she treated Lawrence to one of her devastating periodic droughts. For thirteen months there was not a single soaking rain. Little or no snow fell throughout the winter. In April the ground ;i- like ashes. Streams and wells went dry. Seeds didn ' t sprout. Farm animals died. Trees died.

CHICAGO ILLINOIS ECEMBER 1939 (Since we have mentioned trees, it may be startling news to learn that when the first settlers came, there was scarcely a tree from the Kaw to the Wakarusa, except in the ravines. The reason given is that until 1857 when the ground v;is plowed the land, every sea- son, was swept by prairie fires which killed the young trees. Many of the settlers brought trees with them, but these were killed by the drought of 1860. It was only after the Civil War that tree-planting be- gan in earnest.) At last, on the night of January 29, 1861, word came that Kansas had been admitted as a free state. There were sounds of revelry that night. Old Sacramento was taken from his resting place to boom forth the good tidings. . . . But Kansas ' troubles were not over. In April of ' 61 came the Civil War. Lawrence was in a pe- culiarly dangerous position. She was only 40 miles from the Mis- souri border and was the center of pro-slavery hatred. Yet, she sent most of her men into the army. At that time Kansas had a population of 107,206. Out of this population, 22.000 or a number equivalent to her entire voting population, en- listed in the army.

The Social Wheel . . . (Continued from Page 137) Also on Thursday, the eve of the National Cornhusking Contest here, a Cornhusking Varsity was held at the Union Ballroom, with Dale Brodie and his band entertain- ing many students and more Corn- husking visitors. The dance was held following the banquet and the huge rally held in preparation for the Kansas-Kansas State tussle on Friday. . . . The dance Friday night after the game was dubbed the Wildcat Var- sity. The term was no misnomer, as representatives from Aggieville virtually dominated the dance floor. Dale Brodie and his spark- ling rhythms held sway. . . . The only formal program dance this year was given by the Theta Taus, November 4. Consequently no stags inhabited the premises. Clyde Smith played. . . . The vote for the cleverest party of the season goes to the D. U. ' s for their formal Hitler dance of No- vember 4. The first evidence of the war theme were rows of white crosses out on the lawn each bear- ing the name of a couple. Upon entering the house everyone was required to walk over the German flag. Sandbags against the wall gave a realistic effect. A blackout and the shooting of firecrackers before intermission almost convinced the party-goers that an air raid was in progress. 159 Events of social import were scarce during the week that every- one was burning midnight oil in preparation for mid - semester exams, but they returned in full force when the Crescent Moon girls from the Gamma Phi house held forth with their annual Fall party at the Union Ballroom on Friday night, November 17. Clyde Smith and his aggregation provided the tunes for the dancers. . . . That evening, too, the Summer- field Scholars cast aside bookish worries and for the first time in their history swung forth in a 9-to- 12 dance. The new Kansas Room floor and well-chosen records made a highly successful background for the thirty-five couples. . . . Autumn atmosphere de luxe pre- vailed the next night at the tradi- tional Sigma Nu Pumpkin Party. Held at a large barn south of Law- rence, the affair drew out a colorful conglomeration of farmery fash- ions, and was pronounced as one of the best in its long history. Re- freshments of cider and doughnuts were served to dancers from behind a bar of hay bales. Dale Brodie and his boys, dressed for the occas- ion, turned out a classy brand of swing for the frolickers. . . . The Union Ballroom was like- wise the scene of festivities that night, but participants wore the conventional suits, as Clyde Smith and his band played for a fair-sized crowd of dancers. The name of the affair was the Victoryf?) Var- sity. . . . The next Friday, the . S. A. came through with a novel creation called the Hobo Dance, at which the dancers came garbed as hoboes and hoboettes. During the evening, five or six couples were chosen from the crowd, and by the process of elimination by applause, the King and Queen of the dance were se- THE JAYHAWKER ItfU-d.

(Continued from Page 108) One bad only to sit very still and be served a generous portion of The Emperor Jones. But, unless one were to go hungry, one had to reach clear over the footlights and steal a serving of My Heart ' s in the Highlands, being careful the while not to scare the actors. That isn ' t so cockeyed as it sounds. Half the plays produced make the poor audience work harder than they ought. In the first place, My Heart ' s in the Highlands, as written, leaves too much interpretation to be done by the director who gets stuck with the show. Author Saroyan makes no point, gives small vestige of plot, and masses such incongruities as a bugle-tooting Scotchman, a misunderstood poet, a Slovak cerymaii, and a woman who speaks and understands nothing but Ar- menian onto the same stage of the same play. It is left almost en- tirely up to the director to inter- pret the place of the character . since the lines of the show roulil be taken in so mam iliUVrrnt u s. Now, Prof Allen Crafton evi dently directed this play (of ogre-like qualities) with the audience in mind. He served up gentle comedy which, among oilier things, denounces a social set-up that won ' t let a poet lead the si pie life iitili.nii.il by work. This is by no means the only interpre- tation which might have been given to the play. It is, though, tin- one with the greater audience ap- peal. The show definitely had its mo- ments. In places it rose to sheer delight and in others dropped re- soundingly flat. Example: Whe Prof. Crafton executed a very ne pantomime of disappointment over not getting a check for his poelr in the letter be opened two - .- onds later he had to recite a com- mentary on war which Saro ;ui must have written while punch- drunk. It was positively silly. Upon first watching the play, I was delighted with a new kind of experimental theatre. But when 1 tried to break it up and analyze il. there suddenly was no play at all. Hence, I suppose, the wide raniie of comment heard concerning the play. Those who tried to read some great meaning into the play THE OLDHAM WHOLESALE GROCERY CO. CATERING EXCLUSIVELY TO SORORITIES AND FRATERNITIES OF K.U. S E R V I C E PRICE QUALITY DECEMBER 1939 merely spluttered when asked why. Those who searched for a definite point failed and had to resort to the descriptive hut wholly inadequate term stink. They were the ones who made too much noise reach- ing over the footlights. Those who were more careful, who just rode along with the show as given, and who dipped lightly into the well- covered dish, got the most out of it. Several characters stood out : the 13-year-old youngster who played ' Johnny was one, because with wholehearted naivete he played himself, and not the tightened-up, high - voiced, would - be juvenile. Jessica Crafton as the old-lady could speak and understand only Armenian. Not once did we catch her betraying her part by any in- telligence of English. She was for- ever trying to cope with what was going on about her and not suc- ceeding that ' s just one of the reasons why she had the audience on her side. Prof. Crafton, as well as directing, turned in a noteworthy performance as Ben Alexander, the poet. His was not an easy char- acter to do. He played it in a lighter vein, with a free hand, and that was why he could convince his audience that Ben was, after all, misunderstood. What the opposite kind of characterization would have been like, I shudder to think. Entering stage with the flowing white beard and hair of a saintly patriarch, Prof. Robert Calder- wood turned out to be a Pied Piper who, with his bugle and acting abil- ity, coaxed the audience into fol- lowing him to his last breath. Lastly, but not leastly, in our line-up is Don Dixon in the role of the Slovak groceryman. The audi- ence was sympathetic toward him because the kindly old gentleman was sympathetic himself. And there you are. But still, as they say, de gustibus, non disputan- dum est. K. U.

Probably, says Professor Hun- gerford, head of the department, it is the most complete University collection in America. It looks it; row on row of dark green cases fill a room which runs across the west end of Snow Hall. Yes, and in and around and be- tween these cases work the groups of NYA students, earning their but- ter and bread by mounting, arrang- ing, labeling, and drawing insects. There ' s one boy with a special printing press turning out as many 161 as three thousand labels an hour. Others glue the delicate creatures to paper tabs and mount them. On the east side we saw a girl bending over a drawing board, preparing illustrations for another K. U. en- tomological publication.

Something everybody can under- stand is intramural athletics, and whether you pitch horseshoes, sling the pigskin, or play volleyball, basketball, or baseball, you ' ve no doubt been supervised by NYA offi- cials. Eight men and three women receive their bright blue govern- ment checks for officiating at intra- mural games. You ' ve begun to realize, no doubt, that NYA has its finger in a great many pies, but stop to con- sider this one. It ' s the eternal city- dude-country-lad controversy. Under the auspices of the sociology department, a study of K. U. stu- dent intelligence is being carried forward, to correlate I. Q. rankings with urban and rural backgrounds. In the business school, such sub- jects as cooperatives, freight rates, and the clay industry in Kansas are coming under NYA scrutiny. And to those in the business school who have cut short many a good night ' s leep to get the Accounting I as- signment, we sheepishly report that NYA had a hand in the preparation of the textbook. To make it worse, Mr. Shannon and his NYA staff are getting out a text for Account ing 11. However, of all the NYA-crs who daily go unsung and unhonored to work, those most completely dis- regarded are the clerical workers with pencil on car, and fingers on a typewriter. About one-third of the entire 400 NYA students are so occupied. This National Youth Administra- tion is a pretty big affair, as you can sense, even if it is only six years old. That is, its forerunner, the College Student Employment Proj- ect, was formed in February, 1934, with funds provided from state and federal sources. It became the Na- tional Youth Administration in the summer of 1936. Mary Olsen, ' 21, was the execu- tive secretary of the organization until the summer of 1937, when Martha Tillinan, newly graduated, took over the task of keeping NYA students on productive projects. What is the longest period of time, we asked her, that any stu- dent has been employed by this agency? One senior medic in Kansas City has been with us ever since the program began, she said, nearly six years of uninterrupted NYA work. We went on to discover that about 60 per cent of this year ' s em- ployees were on the rolls last year, and about 30 per cent have been working for the past two years. But new students come, and old ones graduate. Miss Tillman is al- ways facing new problems. The im- portant thing is that projects of great value are being planned, and the plans are being executed. NYA has been and continues to be re- markably useful to K. U. and to Kansas. It ' s quite fitting that this marked success should be the lot of NYA at Kansas University, for it was our own Chancellor-Emeritus Limllry who first broached the outlines of the idea to President Roosevelt. To that idea, many an American youth today owes his opporlimiu for an education. STORM Rain beats so futilely against window pane!

DECEMBER 1939 163 am: REMARKS and F1IIT CHUCKLES We were talking to Dean Olin Templin of the Endowment Asso- ciation the other day it was the day early risers had been startled to find a cow meandering across Mount Oread. The former profes- sor of philosophy was reminded that he used to herd cows on and off the Hill in earlier days. That was one way he paid for his higher education. Just incidentally Mr. Templin remarked that he and a friend had hatched it a good part of the time. The food wasn ' t fit to eat, he said, but we ate it and thrived, for we were young. And if I told you how much money we lived on, you wouldn ' t believe me, so I won ' t tell you. . . . Yes, they ' ve been doing it for a great many years now. In fact, young men have been working for their education and living on prac- tically nothing ever since education l c;ian. . . . And it still seems to us that there has never been a law against helping those who help themselves. (We didn ' t want to let an issue go by without mentioning the housing problem.) At a couple of recent dances we took a minute or two off to stand around observing social trends. And maybe it ' s been true all the time, but we ' ll wager there ' s new significance in it: most of us choose the fast pieces for our time-out pe- riods. The maestro announces, say, Twelfth Street Rag, a time- honored bang-bang tune and yet watch the windows fill up. The boys and girls may need fresh air, but they ' re also striking, we think, in favor of more danceable music. Jitter-bugging might very well be on the wane. And why not? We ' ve heard the local hands play some sweet music that ranks definitely in the higher brackets. What ' s more, when we were lis- tening to Wayne King the other night, we were surprised to note that the dancers ended up by cheering him and it sounded al- most like the enthusiasm that greeted Benny Goodman about two years ago. Jump on the bandwagon, boys. We ' re beginning to doubt if the American public is really poll- conscious, after all. We were glooming around the other evening, trying to figure out some way to fill up space in this issue with some outstandingly in- teresting material. After some study it soon became obvious that there wasn ' t any topic more inter- esting than the Jayhawker Maga- zine itself. Enthralled by this at- tack of inspiration, we hastily de- cided to conduct a poll that is, pick some names at random out of the K. U. directory and ask people what they thought about the first issue. There might be, we thought brightly, some interesting answers. Well, there were. But we might as well tell you, without trying to keep up any suspense, that we didn ' t have the courage to stick it out to the bitter end. There was a surprising percent- age of intelligent comment ob- jections to jumbled headlines for instance. We were already aware of that trouble we ' ve sadly soft- pedaled a number of radical ideas for page layouts. There were some very kind re- marks, too about the unusually good writers we managed to cor- ral, about the cover, about the drawings, about William Allen W ' hite ' s article. Then we began bumping up against people who hadn ' t read the thing people who couldn ' t even remember what the cover looked like. We were prepared for that. Still, we couldn ' t help feeling hon- estly sorry for those who miss the fun and inf ormation there is in a Jayhawker. But right after one particularly negative freeze-out, we got our ears completely flattened down. The reply to our honeyed question was : I thought it was lousy, and what kind of a gag is this, anyway? Well, it ' s one thing to be dubious on matters of art. They can even slur our morals and we ' ll keep smiling. But when they begin to question our sincerity, we quit. We may continue to put out the Jay- hawker, albeit with an injured air. But there won ' t be any more polls. No, sir. We know when we ' re beaten. We feel for Dr. Gallup. On the other hand, we ' re wide open for any and all suggestions voluntarily offered. Please believe us. If the Jayhawker didn ' t thrive on criticism, it ought to die anyway. It ' s very much alive and kicking and any constructive kicking you want to do will be gladly received. We can always use new ideas and new talent. Office hours are 1:30 to 5 p. m. lol THE JAYHAWKER We may. of course, bear some grudge against the pioneers of 1854 for rhooMiip a hilltop for a college. It if only right and just that should think of our overburdened Inn-- and feet part of the time. But if our rauipn- were flat and square, we ' d he a little sorry ye , we would. We ' d he mi in:: a large allotment of l eauty in our daily lives. And we ' d he missing that warm feeling of pride when some uninitiated visitor exclaims at the tree and the graft and the view. It ' s a fine and distinguishing thing for a university to possess a beauti- ful rainpus. The fellows over at Buildings and Grounds know that. They think in terms of that every day of the year. They set out bulbs and trim trees and improve the ground and plant grass their latest achievement is that h andsome car- pet of green in front of the library. A lot of us appreciate their work. And for most of us, it will be worth it to help keeping the campus as good-looking as it is and keep off the grass. While rumbling down Massachu- setts Street in a taxi after Thanks- giving weekend, we noted with mixed emotions the Chamber of Commerce ' s Christmas gift to Law- rence. Those accurately spaced strings of lights, stars, synthetic evergreen, and so on, were cer- tainly pleasing to the eye. But our speculation was focusing on the underlying purpose of those pretty- lights. After all, the only reason the merchants put the things up is to force on us that Christmasy, buying mood. Remember the 25th I only upty- um days till Christmas! buy this, buy that! the ideal gift! easy terms! give! give! give! Give till it hurts and more if possible, since one doesn ' t actually feel the painful part until January or February. What a grand commercial blow- out it is! it ' s like having a World ' s Fair a few days of every year, everywhere. A commercial blow- out, yes. and is it very much more, than that? We think it is. But we can ' t prove it. America ' s Christmases are pretty sorry spectacles. They seem to be built on extremes: cither we revel in the emotional anguish of a Shir- ley Temple sob-story, or we figure out the whole thing as a business proposition and set Thanksgiving ahead to make more shopping- time. It seems to be hard to sepa- rate out the sincere side of Christ- mas any more. And still we ' re sure it ' s there. Children ' s eyes are going to brighten many times this Christmas Day, and the gifts won ' t necessarily be beyond the family budget. Many will go to church to hear Luke ' s story once again and won ' t be bored. There will be deeply- meant and deeply - appreciated Christmas cards. There will be many dinners eaten in heart-felt gratitude. We need to remember these things and build on them, else a sad thing may come to pass. In- stead of hastening to assure our little friend Virginia that there is a Santa Claus, it might be our harder task to have to comfort Santa Claus himself and say, There are really there are many Virginias and many, many others, who do care, and deeply care, about the Christmas spirit!

Take the year 1919, for instance, when students were strictly forbidden to attend all dances, thrown open to the pub- lic indiscriminately at a fixed price. The W. S. G. A. under the leadership of the adviser to women raided a mid-week dance. The party slipped up to the hall, their identity undetected by the small boys who had been posted as look- outs, until they reached the en- trance. Then, as two of the boys attempted to dart up the stairs to give the alarm, a letter-woman tripped them. There was a scram- ble as the delegation reached the dance floor. The men students de- serted their partners, crowded upon the firescapes and got away, but three less fortunate, deserted maidens were caught and punished by the Disciplinary committee. The tangible form that women students ' government took in 1909 was a crystallization of a growing desire for closer unity and greater fellowship among University women. Realizing that the time of the disciplinary college professor would pass as students recognized the responsibilities, opportunities and training that participation in student government offered, the students in 1909 founded their or- ganization on bedrock. Other stu- dents, following them, have builded upon their foundation a structure that has grown and will continue to grow in proportion to the service that it renders.

IT THE J A Y H A V k K R This issue is just about our big- pent effort, to date, in tbe 1940 Jayhairker program of offering new angle! on the K. U. campus. And we think our writers, photog- raphers, and artists have done an excellent job. The first new angle is our gen- eral diatribe against the educa- tional system, to be found starting with this page and ending, reluct- antly, on page 183. ISor is the cover itself exactly silent in the matter. Then there ' s the inquiry into Hill religious activities (p. 186), some haphazard notes on the hap- hazard doings of profs when they ' re off duty (p. 190), and a historical approach to the mani- fold doings of the Fine Arts School (p. 198). Not to speak, of course, of Prof. Crafton ' s dramatic treat- ment of that famous incident in Lawrence history the Quantrill Raid which is just as truly K. U. background as Dyche Museum (p. 195). As for u-riting: Our foremost orchid goes to that all-too-rcal and all-too-human expose of the phen- omenon of study, by Roderick Bur- Ion (p. 183). Such delicate ex- aggeration serves to make us laugh at ourselves, and incidentally, won- der what ' s behind our unorgan- ized indifference. Which leads us to our second orchid to Harry Hill for his lucid and individual exposition (p. 179) of the Univer- sity Survey Committee ' s 1936 re- port on K.I ' , education (if any). We rescued the thing from a dusty shelf sometime back and now Journalist Hill presents it, four M 14.1111 1 LESS 1 IIII P5 l. I ' l I si Everybody knows there is something wrong with liberal education. The freshman suspects it, the sophomore kin - it, the junior gets mad about it, the senior is resigned to it The average professor shakes his head and deprecates it. The average employer, too, knows there is something wrong. He still may require an A.B. degree as a means of cuttin : down the number of applicants. But he seldom has any illiiMon- as to its significance. He knows that a great many Bachelors of Arts are not really literate. Nor does he ask much about grades. Nowadays, in desperation, he tries to find out about the aspiring graduate ' s personality and his extra-curricular activities. For extra-curricular activity seems to be the peculiar phenomenon of modern education. All the externals are hijrliK over-organized clubs and committees and political parties and social calendars and a thousand other things. By contrast the essential activities of education languish like footnotes. Now, college may be a complicated, typical community of a sort, where some work their way and others drink cokes ami gossip: as such it may be indirectly instructive. It may also be something of a successful marriage-factory. It may even ! a satisfactory four-year refuge for those creatures Will Duranl called million-dollar morons. But what about its function as an institution of learning? Is there anything left of that? There is, certainly, a great amount of educational acti ii going on. The sad part is its one-sidedness. Teaching Without Learning Everywhere liberal arts professors are lecturing length il and weightily, and on a great many specialized subjects. Hut the students especially freshmen and sophomores aren ' t learning. They have no incentive to learn, for they have no FEBRUARY 1940 177 idea what it is they are supposed to be learning, or why they should be learning it. They absorb enough scattered informa- tion to make each final examination grade, then promptly for- get the whole unpleasant affair. Or they make no particular effort to learn at all, turning indifferently to crib notes and ghost-writing. Whereupon the instructors, finding it impossible to stimulate any interest in learning, turn to the suspicion system of teaching. A far cry from the teaching ideal of mutual interest in new knowledge ! And so college students themselves have begun to protest. They ' re tired of doing nothing in particular. They are protest- ing that college isn ' t doing its job isn ' t teaching them how to live isn ' t teaching them how to think isn ' t even teaching them to understand their own environment, much less how to enjoy or how to improve that environment. Is all this, perhaps, the fault of the students, after all or perhaps the fault of outside activities ? No, the sad status of educational efficiency can ' t be blamed upon the students, nor should a symptom be mistaken for a cause. The responsi- bility lies with the haphazard American college. The College of Liberal Arts is clearly guilty of wanton negligence. In its refusal to provide any integrated view of contemporary civiliza- tion, the modern college has abdicated its chief function. In defense, they will tell us that it is very difficult to pro- vide that integrated view. That, of course, is only begging the question. Naturally it is much easier to go on offering educa- tion a la carte. But a catering system which won ' t take the trouble to plan a full, balanced meal is a system that will soon stop showing profit. Education has been operating in red ink for many years already, as far as efficient results are concerned. The questions about curriculum reorganization is not How hard? or How easy? but When? Unification of Knowledge We don ' t believe it has to be such a tremendous task, anyway. The unification of knowledge may not be quite like reciting the ABC ' s, but no more is it a case of trying to square the circle. The University Survey Commitee has already suggested the pos- sible proportions of a two-year prescribed course: one-half should be survey courses in the three fields of natural science, social science, and the humanities; one-fourth should be tool (Continued on Page 240) Editor: RICHARD l V Business Manager: CHAD CASE years late but still timely, as food for considerable thought. Vying for se cond honors is Frieda Cowles ' article on the mu- sical activities of the Fine Arts School. It is the kind of writing that invites reading. Betty Coul- son ' s interviews with those eight professors, by the way, show a real command of condensation tech- nique. Other Very-Honorable Men- tions go to Bob Hedges for his in- telligent handling of the interviews with prominent students (pp. 210- 213) , and to Russell Baker for his successful efforts to pry into pro- fessors ' lives. As for photography: Our fore- most orchid, of course, goes to Art Wolf for that cover picture, for that picture of the library ' s main reading room, for that series of photos on Final Week, for that re- markable shot of the Sophomore Hop (p. 209). Next prize goes to Hal Branine, whose basketball ac- tion photos adorn pages 188-189. Tying for second, with qualifica- tions lying rather in the art cate- gory, is Ed Garich ' s coverage of musical activities, especially (1) the eight professors and (2) Miss Edna Givens. Also, Maurice Jack- son ' s pictures within Dyche Mu- seum are worth much more than passing note (p. 195.) As for art: Our foremost orchid is split in half. One part goes to Don Fitzgerald for his treatment of Little Red Riding Hood and his happy illustrations for the Bur- ton opus. The other part goes to Andy Darling for his stylized illus- trations on pages 191 and 194, and for his drawing of our old enemy Bill Quantrill.

KNtni j Irrport i illoco l Wtiir Ilantf i; to? in a lofer Ml!! ivear; points COLLEGE is often accused of being too much |j like a factory, automatically grinding out students by the hundred. But the University of Kansas isn ' t even a good factory. No factory could exist if two-thirds of the raw materials which originally began the process of manufacture failed to reach the half way point in development into a finished product. And that ' s what is happening on Mount Oread. For nearly seventy per cent of the students who begin freshman work fail to attain junior stand- ing. Why don ' t they? The answer is, The first two years of college don ' t do the job. All these riddles were long ago answered, at least on paper. A University survey committee spent four years studying these problems and others which vitally concern K. U. From its research the committee found, for one thing, that glaring weaknesses in curricular organiza- tion contribute enormously to the high mortality rate among freshmen and sophomores. A report made in 1936 enumerated these edu- cational ills: There ' s too big a jump from high school to college and from lower to upper divi- sion work. Furthermore, students can ' t get a broad cultural education even if they want one. For instance, they get five hours credit for study- ing bugs in a course that ' s intended primarily for future entomology majors. Then, too, the courses offered don ' t distinguish between those who should try to finish their college work and those who should not. And when the junior and senior years come along, the student is likely to get either too much specialization or not enough. Another weakness lies in too much emphasis on memorizing facts and gathering hours and grade points when a general understanding of F F K II : in imiiilily Line by II VICKY Illl I fundamental principles and relationships is the real aim. Professional schools, particularly, tend to become so specialized that they miss the point of a university education. Finally, student guidance isn ' t adequate under the present system. These varied weaknesses, when lumped to- gether, mean that the University today just isn ' t doing its job. It has the machinery and the raw material just like any factory but faulty organization prevents efficient work and makes satisfactory results impossible. The helter-skelter methods now in use in colleges K. U. is typical seem ridiculous in comparison with American industry where success is attained by doing the best possible work in the best possible way. Look at automobile manufacturing for in- stance. Suppose Henry Ford should mount a motor on a chassis, start the skeleton car moving on its own power through an assembly plant the college knowledge-factory isn ' t doing the job Ultle Red Hiding Hood Heads for College When she comes out, at least she ' ll be different. where specialized workmen were stationed to make certain separate contributions. With no driver, the car would swing from side to side, back and forth, receiving a screw here, a dab of paint there, a fender somewhere else. When it finally reached the delivery door, it would have an incomplete assortment of unrelated items. If the finished product actually resembled an automobile, the achievement would have been accidental. Probably, with no guidance, the car never would be in a salable condition. The student who wanders through the Univer- sity College of Liberal Arts today, is not much dif- ferent from that meandering motor car. He pur- sues an educational path which brings him into contact with an incoherent series of facts. His mental chassis receives many unrelated applica- tions of knowledge that may or may not eventu- ally qualify the student for graduation. What i wrong? The opportunity for an education is open to every student who enrolls. He supposedly has intellectual ability to grasp and master sonic phase of higher learning. And the faculty are more or less qualified to give the necessary instructioi The trouble, therefor must lie in the syster through which an educa- tion is sought. That fault is emphasized by the gut vey committee ' s repot They reached the conch sion that the Universit needs an assembly line. Two plans are si gested by the conmiittt as possible partial rer edies. The first proposes that the freshman and sopho- more years of the preset Liberal Arts college be organized into a Uni- versity College with its own faculty and dean. The course of study would be three fourths prescribed; approximately half of the work in survey courses in physical science, biological science, social science, literature and fine arts; one-fourth in tool courses such as English, foreign languages and mathematics; and the re- maining one-fourth in electives. Specialization would come sometime after the first year ' s orli when the student would consult a guidance bi reau and choose an upper division school. The second plan puts the Liberal Arts ci ricula on a divisional basis, the proposed divi- sions to be: physical science, biological scient social science, and humanities. Each divisior would offer a comprehensive survey course, not to exceed ten hours ' credit, and every candidan for a Liberal Arts degree would be required to complete at least the survey course in each divi- sion. The survey courses would be made avail- able to the professional students, with the goal being eventually to make them the foundation for all University work. In both proposals, a degree Associate in Arts would be given in the College to students who might wish to quit after two years. Both pro- posals, moreover, recognize the conflicts such plans would raise with the established four-year professional schools. The report suggests that the professional schools might modify their cur- riculums in time to permit the broad education to be obtained first. Neither plan is an absolute cure-all for Uni- versity curricular ills. The survey committee recognizes that some of the recommendations already are in use, in modified form or on an experimental basis. But every phase of both proposals is in force in several colleges in the country, according to the committee. Whether or not all the suggested changes are made, something must be done. Some form of curricular reorganization is a necessity. For two-thirds of the students who come to Mount Oread never advance to the junior class. These educational orphans need incubation. They can ' t be excluded by entrance examinations be- cause K. U. is a state university and therefore open to all high school graduates. Nor can the problem be solved by mere mechanical tinker- ing with the curriculum of the freshman and sophomore years. As the committee decided: adequate adjustment of the situation can be made only by overhauling and reorganizing the lower division curriculum. In other words, what this education factory needs is an assembly line. The elective system is gradually causing liberal education to be buried alive. . . . The degree which the college of liberal arts offers seems to certify that the student has passed an un- eventful period without violating any local, state or federal law, and that he has a fair, if temporary, recollection of what his teachers have said to him. . . . Students will respond to a program designed to give them better education. . . . Robert M. Hutchins. President, University of Chicago. VARIOUS REWARDS OF VIRTUE . . . From time immemorial it has been the custom to provide artificial stimulation for the uneager student. Dunce caps were the negative of which A-B-C grades are the positive and each of these and other systems have had remarkable success in dis- couraging the average student from becoming interested in learning for its own sake. The grading system as perfected today, becomes either a problem in higher mathematics by which 1 100 of a point lies between an A and a B, or else a delicate problem in advanced psychology by which the slightest expression of imagination on the part of the student becomes a major offense against the pro- fessor ' s dignity. Undert his system the grading of a final examination becomes for the disinterested onlooker only a positively amusing proposition, wherein the student ' s grade depends upon two things (1) the placement of the paper within the stack, and (2) the condition of the poor professor ' s digestive apparatus and its effects upon his general choler. The most hilarious result of all this, however, conies when students compare grades under different instructors for the same or different subjects when the difference between five hours of This and five hours of That turns out to be ten full grade points simply because the prof in That is an old bear. Students, notably Summerfield Scholars, who are working for Grade Points Chiefly, soon become practiced in these finer points, although many never learn about the difference in professors, and some even take the suicidal direction of trying to get a balanced education. Of all the other time-honored machinations to put ambition in the college man ' s soul, the society of Phi Beta Kappa is perhaps the most venerable. Popularly known as the Order of the Golden Calf, its K. U. representatives select a handful in the fall, a carload in the spring. Those with the apple-polishing knack pay $5 for initiation and about $6 for the key. Locally, K. U. has its senior honor groups for men and women: Sachem and Mortar Board. Each is a sort of half- political, half-emotional popularity society, electing new mem- bers each year amid much talk of grades, service, and leadership. Fees vary with amounts of outstanding debts: for Sachem S3 plus, for Mortar Board $10 plus. Same goes for Owl Society for junior men. Nearly every department has its additional prod-in-the-pants for its own major students, in the form of honorary societies. The value of such memberships is not always clear to the mem- bers, although a vague sort of departmental blessing is implied, plus a certain fraternal feeling towa.-d graduate members who may now be so fortunate as to have jobs. A study of the interesting statistical problem of comparative fees (in honor societies I reveals that such costs seem to rise with the size of the group. Most have national dues, a term which covers a multitude of evils. The most nationalized, appar- ently, is engineering Tau Beta Pi, which costs the more prom- inent slide-rule men exactly $25; engineering Sigma Tau costs about $17.50. Contrast the Law School ' s Order of the Coif, which costs its three or four yearly members a dollar apiece. Scientists may join Sigma Xi for $5; political scientists can enter Pi Sigma Alpha for $3. Businessmen, artists, and soldiers get by with something over $10 Beta Gamma Sigma, Delta Phi Delta, and Scabbard and Blade. Girls entering musical Mu Phi Epsiloii pay $17.50 plus various semester fees. Journalists grit their teeth and pay $19-or-so to national Sigma Delta Chi headquar- ters; feminine newshawks pay $11.50 to Theta Sigma Phi. Some departments also offer courses in Reading for Honors, which have been notably successful in keeping A-students busy. Such courses not only do not inspire but actually dismay the B-students, which serves to suggest that all such artificial honor- ary stimulants are of far less value than the inspiration of the subject itself when handled by a competent instructor, and when exhibited as a part of the living framework of all knowledge.

OR, DON ' T TOUCH THAT BOOK! by RODERICK BURTON Q: I understand that yon are an authority upon studying. Is that true? A : Yes, I have thought about it for years. Q: Have you ever done any studying? A: No. I have taken special care to refrain from any action that might tend to impair my objectivity upon the subject. Q: What is studying? A: Exactly what it is has not been accurately determined, but it seems to consist of the attain- ment of knowledge by some unusual means inspiration, or perhaps a stroke of fate, even at times something akin to mental concentration. Q: What is the difference between studying and non-studying? A: It ' s hard to draw the line between study- ing and non-studying at the most there ' s only a passing difference. Q: Who started studying? A: Studying is a very old institution. The study of ancient languages such as Greek was not to unknown to the ancient Greeks; and in Roman times Latin appears to have become an important part of the curriculum. Q : No one knows, then, who started it in the first place? A: No, although many have expressed a very strong desire to find out! Q: How did studying become an institution? A: It was due to the class struggle to make grades, according to the official marksist inter- pretation. Q : You mean that, according to this marksist version, students study to get grades? A: Well . . . yes. Q: Exactly what is the connection between grades and studying? A: W r ell, if you get good grades, it ' s because you studied, unless it ' s for some other reason. Q: I see. Now what is the first step toward going about studying? A: Well, first the individual thinks about it for a while. Q: What comes next?

Oread make their pilgrimage to the varioi religious centers scattered over the Hill ant throughout Lawrence. The braver of them struj gle to get up and go to Sunday School; the rest of them go to the eleven o ' clock services and the evening student group meetings. Nine Inn dred belong to the Christian Associations. A| proximately three hundred are enrolled in the Kansas School of Religion. Of all topics, except perhaps war, the prob- lem of religion is uppermost in the minds of students everywhere. And instructors in the Kansas School of Religion agree that on the K. U. campus the interest in religion is unusually keen. One out of every four attends some reli- gious group, as compared with one out of ten. for instance, in West Coast schools. In the lives of a certain body of people on the Hill those people who make up the overlap- ping membership of Sunday School groups, church sororities, Sunday evening student groups, the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. re ligion is especially important. Most of these men and women are active in two or more religious organizations. What do they get out of it? For one thing, they find a congenial social at- mosphere one not necessarily attractive-appear- MUCH THOUGHT ABOUT INDIVIDUAL AND SOCIAL IDEAL ' ing to an outsider, but nevertheless filled with warmth and good fellowship, comparatively free from the superficial backslapping and handshak ing of many Hill functions. Then too. to be entirely honest, most of this group would have to confess that their prestige and sel-esteem are in- creased by their leadership among these groups in the same way that they are increased by par- Ik i u LIIS YOUTH ticipation in other extra-curricular activities. But beneath these surface advantages, most of them have a real religious and moral pur- pose in their activity. They take part in religi- ous work to strengthen their own religious and moral fiber and to gain a clearer picture of the sociological program they hope to put into opera- tion later in life. They are striving to make their religious ideals real. The outstanding evidence of this attitude among K. U. students is the Student Christian Federation. The S. C. F. is composed of repre- sentatives from each religious body on the Hill. Interdenominational, it coordinates the activi- ties of denominational youth groups. This No- vember, for the first time, the Federation held a conference of all campus religious leaders. And March 10 to 17 has been announced as Religious Emphasis Week that largest task of the S. C. F. which has been so notably success- ful in the past few years. Another evidence of this striving toward unity is the Union Young People ' s Group. This organ- ization is made up largely of Lawrence students and meets during vacations and the summer months whenever the regular groups are not meeting. There is a remarkable spontaneity about the group a quality largely traceable to its spontaneous origin and to the fact that it continues only on the basis of student realiza- tion of its need. These two organizations stand for something new in university religious life a cooperative ideal. Because of them, individual efforts are JTTLE ABOUT IMvXO.M I IIO S now functioning far more effectively within their spheres. Church services, on the average, are well attended (especialy when some fraternity or sorority comes to church in a body!). Probably the most popular minister with church-going students and professors is the Rev.

In spite of the fact that the powerful Okla- homa Sooners are ahead of the Jayhawkers by virtue of having played more games, the wise niilliinl- are saying Watch Kansas. At the opening of the season ' s second half, Dr. Forrest C. Phog Allen ' s team is barging along with 10 victories against two defeats. In conference play, the Jayhawkers have won three and lost one. The Kansans are small this year. Their coach calls them his Pony Express. Though tli- are on the diminutive side, when compared to the rest of the league, the little fellows have llir speed and deadly accuracy which makes them the conference ' s giant killers. Witness the y. Six opener against Oklahoma when the Allen men went under and around the supposedly un- FEBRUARY 1940 189 i ' beatable Sooners for an amazing 46-26 victory. A shadow, indicating the shape of things to come, was cast in the Jayhawkers ' season opener when they sizzled their way to a 34-30 victory over Henry Iba ' s great Oklahoma A and M Cow- boys. Since this game, the fastbreaking Still- water, Oklahoma, crew has won 17 straight games and are currently ranked as the number two team in the nation. Dick Harp and Bobby Allen paced the local boys to their initial vic- tory with eight points apiece. The stubborn Mules of the Warrensburg Teachers tripped the Jayhawkers a week later, 33-31, in an overtime game. Kansas was leading by one point with scarcely 30 seconds to play. At this point the Kansans were stalling when Ralph Miller committed a foul which brought the game into an extra session. The Mules con- nected early and went ahead. Bruce Voran flipped in one of his port-side-two-pointers to tie the count, but in the waning seconds of the period, the Mules scored again and the game was all over. Voran was the scoring spark of the evening with 12 points. Southern Methodist University rode out of the southwest to take two drubbings at the hands of the K. U. team just prior to the Christmas holi- days. Ralph Miller and Don Ebling scored 31 points between them to lick the Mustangs 63-31 on the first night and Ebling teamed with Bruce Voran to count for 18 of the Jays 37 points in the 37-26 trimming handed to the southerners on the next evening. During the holidays, Kansas walked away with the first annual Sunflower Invitational tournament sponsored by Washburn College in Topeka. Kansas won under wraps by beating Baker 34-18, New Mexico Mines 40-24 and Washburn 52-34. Bob Allen, Bruce Voran and Dick Harp were the tournament stars. Allen and Voran made the Topeka Daily Capital ' s all- tourney first team and Allen and Harp were on the State Journal ' s all-star selection. Ralph Miller ' s 13 points led the Kansans to their amazing 46-26 victory over Oklahoma in the conference opener. Oklahoma was picked by many to win the tussle in spite of the fact that it was played in Lawrence. Doctor Allen ' s boys, however, had other ideas. They jumped into a big lead from the opening whistle and spent the rest of the game pulling away from the bewildered Sooners. Bob Allen and Bruce Voran succeeded in holding the great Jimmy McNatt to a single field goal and Marvin Mesch got one lonely free throw for his evening of toil. Three days later the Jayhawkers showed their powers to the city slickers in Chicago ' s Coliseum by trouncing Loyola U. 40-36. Ralph Miller continually burnt the netting with 22 points which left the Windy City sports scribes in raptures of praise. The Aggies from Manhattan gave the local boys a big scare and came close to toppling them from an eight game winning streak, but finally fell 34-33, in the most exciting game of the season so far. Bruce Voran came through with a free throw in the last three seconds of the game to give K. U. its victory. Voran shared the high scoring honors with Bobby Allen when they each bagged 10 points. Nine consecutive victories were seemingly too much for Kansas. Riding high on a crest of glory, they went to Columbia. Missouri, to ' ' play puss-in-the-corner with a real live Tiger (the phrase is Coach Allen ' s).

But few stu- dents have been convinced. E. B. Stouffer could convince you. (He is the dean of the graduate school.) When Dean Stouffer sets out to persuade anyone, he swings around on his swivel chair, leans far back, clasps his hands on his head, and proceeds without interruption for. say three or four minutes. It is an effective method. You feel as though his conclusions were conclusive: A member of the faculty enjoys his recreation l.

A man who tries to teach young people anything should devote part of his free time to keeping up with his suhject. If possible he should be ad- vancing his subject, so teachers in other schools will have to burn the midnight incandescent to keep up with him. A great number of good textbooks have been written by these progressive profs. They must be good or they wouldn ' t be so expensive. The entomologists in Snow Hall are forever publish- ing descriptions of new insects; the head of the entomology department is ex-officio the state entomologist for the southern part of the state. Ambitious mathematicians are exploring the realm of projective differential geometry, and mathematical publications are frequently carry- ing their work. We mustn ' t forget the business instructors who use their free time to delve into such things as the Structure of the Federal Re- serve Bank of Boston. Authors exist in the speech department. No novelists. If you want to read their works it will be under titles like Principles of Speech, Dic- tion, Tongue Movements, etc., with infrequent little bursts of sunshine like Bonanzas of Blondes and Butter. Before we continue we ' ll have to tell you that faculty members have a pretty complete social life. Groups like the Fortnightly and the Satur- day Night Club, the Old and New Club, besides Rotary, Masonic, and Kiwanis are composed of both townsmen and instructors, professors, dea ns, and occasionally, the Chancellor. The Old and New Club, one of the oldest organized clubs in Kansas, dates from the 1870 ' s. It meets every Saturday night from October to April. One of the fifteen members acts as host and reads a paper which he has prepared for the occasion. The rest of the members listen, learn and ask uncomfortable questions after- ward. Sounds like a fairly intellectual discussion even for a professor. But the University Club is in a class by itself. We entered the stucco club house at the end of Ohio by the back door, to get an idea of what the set- up was. It reminds you of another fraternity house. It ' s more stern, of course, and there ' s well, a comparative absence of cut - ups.

A brutal butchery, a wholesale slaughter of one hundred and fifty unarmed men in a defenseless community, per- petrated by men of their own race and color, is unique in our annals of hate and retaliation. In late afternoon of August 20th, Quantrill and his three hundred horsemen crossed the border into Kansas. At dawn the next morning they passed through Franklin, riding quietly and lean- ing low over their horses, in order not to attract attention. About five o ' clock they rounded the cornfield (which is now South Park), gave spur to their horses and bounded forward with the yell of demons. The town was unprepared and taken by complete surprise. The raiders fir t came upon a camp of unarmed recruits, most of them boys in their teens . They began their slaughter by killing seventeen of the twenty-t d recruits. For four hours thereafter they con- tinued to kill and burn and rob. One way to vivify this tragic day might b,- to reconstruct a single scene, present it dramatic- ally. Then, to gain a perspective of the entire massacre, all we have to do is magnify this singl,- tragedy one hundred and fifty times. . . On the night before the raid, Nancy, a form, r pupil of Edward Fitch, the school teacher, was calling at the latter ' s home. Fitch was a quiet. mild, humorous young man. The conversation This was Harper ' s Weekly ' s idea of what prob- ably happened that August day in 1863 in Lawrence. The architectural details are doubt- ful; the general effect is graphically true. FEBRUARY 1940 had been commonplace enough: it concerned Fitch ' s young son, the days when Fitch had first taught classes in the Unitarian Church (there was no school building then) and finally, as always, it shifted to the danger of attack. Filch (speaking to his wife) : Mary, when will you get over your fear that we ' re going to be attacked and murdered! Mary: Maybe I never will. Nancy: Danger has been threatening us for years, Mrs. Fitch, but it ' s never come. Fitch: Whatever danger there is, Mary, is far away. Mary: I don ' t care Fitch: Don ' t you realize the line between Kan- sas and Missouri is patrolled in its entire length? No band of rebels could possibly get 40 miles into our territory without word reaching Law- rence. Nancy: I ' m sure we needn ' t worry. Mrs. Fitch . . . well, I must get started. Mary (to Fitch) : You ' re not letting her go clear over to the edge of town alone? Fitch: Certainly not. I ' ll see you safely to Mrs. Walker ' s, Nancy. ' Bye, dear (to his child) ' Bye darling. Give father a good night kiss. ... 1 WILLIAM QUANTRILL, Ohio-born in 1837, staked out a Kansas claim at the age of 20. In ' 58, he was Charley Hart, a gambler in Salt Lake City. Next year he was a school-teacher near Lawrence, writing back to his sister sirupy poems about birds and flowers. Something possibly the warrant issued against him for horse-stealing set him wild against the free-state men. He fled to Missouri to become a guerrilla chief gained the rank of captain in the Confederate Army. Soon after the attack on Lawrence his band partly broke up: in May of ' 65 during a minor Kentucky raid he met his bullet. And this pathetic, cheaply died in Louisi-ille a month later.

He is the most picturesque and enigmatic of all the early citizens of Lawrence the most loved and most hated. A man of rare physical endurance. Lane thought nothing of a walk from Leavenworth to Lawrence in the dead of winter. Dur- ing the Quantrill Raid he spent the morning in his nightshirt, hiding in a cornfield west of his house. Uncouth and un- scrupulous, shrnvd, fiery, magnetic, he was able to sway masses and legislatures as no other American of his gen- eration; tireless in his efforts for a free Kansas. A.

Dyche was a student, lie lived for a time in a tent on the Campus. After he had spent many devoted years as a professor here, Dyche Museum was raised on the very spot where he pitched his tent, and named in his honor. All things have a beginning and most good things have an end. The idea behind the institution of Students ' Day must have been real good. It never became a tradi- tion. When Chancellor Strong withdrew the privilege of the annual chapel fight between freshmen and sophomores, in the first dec- ade of the century, he offered in return an annual Students ' Day. The holiday was to include a convocation at which the students could air their troubles. In the first years the experiment turned into a sort of Bouquet Day in which every- body patted everybody on the back, pre- sented medals, and nodded when the speaker said everyone should cooperate in disciplining freshmen women. But as the institution aged, it assumed more individual- istic aspects. Students mounted the plat- form to whine, Nobody appreciates the School of Fine Arts. They viewed with alarm. They stored up poison. They cher- ished their grudges and muttered You ' ll be sorry! at the back of some disappearing professor. Just before the Roaring Twenties, Stu- dents ' Day lusty, howling child that it was really pulled a tantrum. It was all on account of the University Senate and their old rules. The growing unrest of the student body- is caused by the multitude of petty rules and regulations which the University Senate has enacted and forced upon an unwilling student body, the engineering representa- tive confided. Then he told them that one of the pro- fessors had told him that there were no Stu- dent Rights except what the Senate gave them. Can you imagine? Right on this very Campus a professor said that. The law representative was scornful. While three or four of the most estimable members of the Senate are gum-shoeing around Lawrence and the Campus, trying to catch violators of the laws of the Senate spying on the students . . . they are carrying on a petty feud within their midst. . . . You can see that things had come to a pretty pass, with professors galavanting all over tin- Campus as spys instead of attending to their teaching. Liberty? There wasn ' t any liberty. Freedom? And what was that? These noble youths took their grades in their hands. Thev mounted the platform, fear fell away, and their voices rang clear over Mount Oread. To them we owe a debt of gratitude. Just ;i- the University of Kansas sent Company M across the pond to make the world safe for Dem racy so did these young men, with tongue an with lungs, insure the glorious freedom we now enjoy.

(Continued on Page 236) DYflHE COMES TO LIFE by MAURICE JACKSON Four classes of students have reached that climax in their school career when they march in the commencement line down Mt. Oread to re- ceive their coveted sheepskins, without having the opportunity of seeing the interior of the most famous building on the campus. But the fifth will have this chance, for Dyche Museum is at last approaching restoration. Heavy dinosaur and mastodon skeletons on the top floors had made the old building unsafe, and it was closed by state authorities in 1932. For seven long years students and visitors at the Uni- versity of Kansas have trudged up the front steps of the Natural History Museum only to find a note, closed for repairs, on the door. But now, although work has been going on since its closure, things are really being done to make Dyche once again a leading college museum in the United States. State grants of $107,000 and a PWA grant of $10,000 have made it pos- sible to place new supports in the ceilings and walls, to build new cases for the exhibits, and to rebuild the interior into a beautiful and modern building. The last legislature appropriated $10,000 (available after next July) for the repair and restoration of the exhibits, and although this will far from complete the work, a portion will be ready for the public at commencement time. Last summer Klaus Abegg, an expert taxider- mist, arrived from the Clark Studios in New York City to bring the mounted birds and mammals back to life again. Prying the dirt of seven years ' accumulation from the grizzly bears and moun- tain goats of the wild life panorama on the main floor was his first task. During the building ' s repair the animals had been stored in every conceivable place on the campus and many of the fine specimens which (Continued on Page 229) Through the severely modern, redecorated entranceictty of old Dyche Museum, many of the exhibits have been brought back piecemeal like these bones . . .

A SILKEN thread of romance running through the homespun warp and woof of early Kan- sas history is the story of the Old Band. The value of the service that it rendered can hardly be measured its music lent color to the pattern of monotonous days; it gave courage to the dis- heartened and comfort to those who sorrowed. Five persons, among whom was Joseph Savage, held their band instruments in their hands as they waited with a group of pioneers in the Boston railway station for the train that would take them West. It was August in 1854. crowd had collected to see them off. John Green- leaf Whittier had written some verses for the occasion, copies of which were distributed II! tm (, FOR SOME, I ' lllNI l!i; FOR ALL A Long Record of Service Belongs to the University Fine Arts School; Its Music Is Free for the Listening by FRIEDA COWLES FEBRUARY 1940 through the crowd. The five band players struck up Auld Lang Syne and to its tune, the crowd sang Whittier ' s poem, The Kansas Emigrants, as the train puffed away westward. We cross the prairie as of old The Pilgrims crossed the sea To make the West, as they the East, The homestead of the free! We go to rear a wall of men On Freedom ' s southern line And plant beside the cotton tree The rugged northern pine! W ' e go to plant her common schools On distant prairie swells And give the Sabbath of the wild The music of her bells. Upon arriving in Lawrence, each person set about to build a home from the materials at hand. Joseph Savage ' s cabin became a musical center and often on pleasant evenings the leather-hinged door stood open so that the audi- ence outside might hear the music from within. New arrivals to the community with musical ability were added to the list of band members, and rehearsals vere held weekly. The Old Band furnished music for dancing and weddings. It played for church services held in a boarding-tent; the pulpit was an up-ended box; the congregation sat on trucks and bags. It furnished music at the reception given in honor of the new governor of the territory; it led the Jong, slow procession of mourners for Thomas Barbour that wound over Mount Oread to the cemetery; it was called in by a military leader to hearten his soldiers until the band instru- ments, far from new upon their arrival in Kan- sas, were worn out in public service. Persons in the community rallied to the need and raised a fund for the purchase of new in- struments and a series of weekly open-air con- certs was planned. The first one was given from The I niiersily Band drills early in the morning, plays late at night, gives service in all kinds of weather. There ' s a lot more to it than the thrill of wearing a uniform. 199 a stand near the river on August 20, 1863. The next morning at daybreak, Quantrill ' s guerillas came down upon the sleeping town. In June, 1867, the Old Band played for the first commencement exercises at the new Uni- versity. Once again, years later, the members were called together for the twenty-fifth anni- versary of the arrival at Lawrence of that New England party which started westward singing Kansas Emigrants. The members were gray- haired now, with beards and wrinkled faces. Their work as band members was done, but without knowing it, they had laid the ground- work for a musical consciousness which was to crystallize into outstanding musical achievement at the University. The School of Fine Arts had its beginning in 1877 when a department of music was added to the University curriculum. Before that, music had been considered only a graceful supplement to the education of young ladies. Times were hard. The state legislature repeatedly refused to grant funds for maintenance. As a result, the department was necessarily self-supporting and students paid for their music lessons at the rate of about $10 for 24 private lessons.

During Chancellor F. H. Snow ' s administra- tion, 1890 to 1900, the department was inoxed to its own quarters in Old North College. Courses in the School were extended in mimlier and scope. A pipe organ was added to the equip- ment; concerts and recitals were given more frequently; a Glee Club was organized. The first University band under the directi of Stuart O ' Henry was an adjunct of the state military organization. In the cupola of Old North College the twelve members would sit in ; circle, their feet dangling down through tin- hole through which they entered by a ladder. Molly Darling and Captain Jenks were their favorite songs struggles with Bach and Beetho- ven left them breathless and the resulting dis- cordant medleys disturbed the quiet the sleeping town. Today the University Band has 112 mem and ranks with the best in the country. At 7:30 in the morning the members assemble in Hoch Auditorium for a daily rehearsal. An excellent music library is being accumulated by Director Russell L. Wiley, and a significant part of the band ' s training schedule is the large amount of literature read by its members each semester. University activities call the band into action on many occasions, from freshman induction in the fall to commencement in the spring.

Social activities of the band include a smoker in the fall, a formal dinner dance in January, and a spring party. ' dreams of ! member- It was largely through the work of Charles Sanford Skilton who came to the Universilv in FEBRUARY 1940 1903 as Dean of the School of Fine Arts that a regular yearly concert series was arranged. The program has been continued through the years hy Dean Harold Butler, who succeeded Dean Skilton, and since 1923 has heen under the management of Dean D. M. Swarthout. The concert series for thirty-seven consecutive years has brought to the campus musical artists of international renown oftentimes at a cost of less than fifteen cents to University students. One of the greatest audiences that has gath- ered in Hoch Auditorium heard Amelita Galli- Curci sing in the fall of 1927 when that build- ing was dedicated. For this concert the singer received $4,000. The long list of artists that students have heard includes: Ernestine Schu- mann-Heink, John McCormack, Gladys Swarth- out, Paderewski, Rachmaninoff, and Kreisler, not to mention Sousa ' s Band, and Roxy and his Gang. For fourteen years under the direction of Karl Kuersleiner, the University orchestra has followed the policy of playing the best in symphonic literature. Each spring at the annual music festival, the orchestra serves as a nucleus for a mass orchestra of high school students. Last fall it played its first annual music appre- ciation program for children before 1500 boys and girls from the Douglas County schools. Orchestrations by University students and faculty members and by other composers in this section of the country are played on concert programs. Among the guest conductors that frequently direct the group are Howard Hanson, Karl Krueger, and Percy Grainger. Besides the regular concert programs that the orchestra presents each year, it also makes a number of recordings and appears on radio broadcasts. The Mid-Western Music Camp held each summer at K.

(Photos fry Art (To , m vr left fry Jackson.} IF SHERLOCK HOLMES should some morn- ing tramp around the third story of Frank Strong Hall, even he would come to the con- clusion that K. U. must be a bona fide institution of culture. Up there, sculptors are sculpting and painters brush art on squares of canvas, while other artists design patterns and study color effects. Yes, sir, that atmosphere is cultural, as con- trasted with the hurry-flurry-analyze-prove-dis- prove environment of our science classes and labs. But even the artist ' s studio is not exempt completely from a worldly touch, for alongside the painters in oil are the artists of industry who deal in such products as: tricky perfume bottles resembling feathers or elephant heads; adver- tising layouts and deceptive, good-looking pack- ages for those perfume containers; window dis- plays; attractive wallpaper; light fixtures; even automobiles. Mr. Holmes and his magnifying glass could probably tell you that the be-smocked individuals in his view were of two types. Those thoroughly splotched with oil paint would be Drawing and Painting majors. Those whose smocks were etched with acid, ink, and charcoal would be Design majors. The eager freshman artist enrolls in a general art course in which he studies the fundamentals of art, drawing from the human figure, and from plaster casts. He studies perspective and nature drawing. He is the one whom you see reproduc- ing the pillars in center Ad or the entire Waka- rusa Valley. Sophomore year brings an excur- sion into the major field. He becomes a painter, a designer, or a future teacher of art. Rosemary Ketcham heads the design depart- ment. Since she studied bookbinding under the prominent English craftsman Douglas Cockerell, the classes here follow the practices of his studio even to the serving of tea at 4:30. Drop in just any Friday afternoon fora spot of tea. liirh brings us to another characteristic unique to the art school there are only three lecture cl;i-- - in the art department.

December 8, Clyde Smith played at the Phi Delt Christmas dance. The house was decorated in pine branches and Christmas trees. The A. D. Pi ' s used silver reindeer and Christmas trees; Red Blackburn played. Amidst 510 hanging stars the D. U ' s gave their formal dance December 9; the music was by Clyde Smith ' s orchestra. Clyde Bysom furnished the music for the A. T. O. winter dance, and cus- tomary seasonal decorations were used. The Thetas danced to Dale Brodie ' s tunes the same night, with similar Christmasy surroundings. High point of the pre-Yuletide weeks was the sophisticated music of Ted Fio Rito and the funny stuff of Charlie Cardaras at the Sopho- more Hop. The next day, Saturday, December 16, Dale Brodie played at the Kappa Mr. Esquire and Petty dance surrounded by spruce and poin- settas. The Sig Alphs and the Phi Psis gave their winter formals next week end.

But Eve is that rare exeeut who can make ideas into realities. She not only has the imagination for new thoughts, but the common sense, enthusiasm, and energy to make them work. People like that just aren ' t allowed any time of tin-M- own.

As a speaker he is possessed of a clear, ingratiating voice and an intelligent manner that instantly put him across to his hearers whether in platform performance, over the air, or in private conversation. As an analyst and an appreciator of people and their problems he is the unusual man who can listen to an argument without saying anything until he has something to say. Then when he does speak it is his hahit to locate and emphatically nail the crucial point of the problem under discussion. Recognition of his abilities has been constant. Mac is an announcer for KFKU, a varsity debater, speaker for Y. M. C. A. ' s traveling forums, and senate member of P. S. G. L. On the scholastic side his record shows six Dean ' s Honor Rolls, presidency of Pi Sigma Alpha (honor fraternity of political science, his major), and four years of Summerfield Scholarship. High honors have come with membership in Sachem, of which he is Chief, and in Owl Society. When on his own time Mac likes to read- literary, humorous, and news magazines, and English classical and American humorous poetry. (If alone he often reads aloud to strengthen his voice. ) Although no shining star, he enjoys playing football and basketball. And then, like all the rest of us, he loves to spend some time in just plain, unadulterated loafing. Only he doesn ' t have much time for it; he wants to go into law school. Bob Hedges. MAC WYIIB Photo by Ben Brandt THE J A Y H A K E R ITolf RODERICK BURTOI Roderick Burton is a mathematics major who is a leading journalist, an idealist who is real- istic. Rod is a member of math ' s honorary fra- ternity Phi Mu Epsilon; also of writers ' Quill and journalists ' Sigma Delta Chi. Last year he was editor-in-chief of the Daily Kansan and at the same time secretary-treasurer of the Math Club. In any place Roderick is a firm believer and zealous advocate of democracy and people ' s rights. As an I. S. A. member he battled for the new, more democratic constitution; as Kansan editor he fired barbed shafts at the muddier and more underhanded aspects of campus politics. Half of his time he now spends either at the Blue Mill or figuring out headlines as night editor. The other half he divides up ainonu thinking about studying (as Dean ' s Honor Ro man and fourth year Summerfield Scholar) editing the quarterly Summerfield Neivsletter, chairmaning the Kansan Board, and indulgin in high-brow bull sessions as a Futilitarian. (Futilitarians, according to Rod, are a sprci;i bunch of bull-festers who have finally organized their midnight sessions in the interests of and better argumentation.) Although graduated from Topeka High, Ro erick now calls Galveston, Texas, home, :ift a stay at Amarillo. Where he goes next he doesn ' t know, but somewhere he hopes to be able to write things to make people think; he figures that that would be a pretty important contribution to the world. Bob Hedges. ,d- FEBRIARY 1940 If you have an important job to be done, got Irving Kuraner to do it. He hates extra-curricular activities: he believes the campus is over-organ- ized; and he wants to use his time only in study- ing, debating, and relaxing. But he ' ll do the job. Kuraner just can ' t say No! to people who have things that need to be done. He is now secretary and active member of the Men ' s Stu- dent Council, chairman of the Student State- ide Activities Commission and of the County Clubs, and a member of the P. S. G. L. Senate. Last year he had charge of the Y ' s traveling forums. In between meetings, though, Irving does manage to work in those things he particularly wants to do. His yen for debate he fulfills with a place on the varsity squad. And for relaxa- tion he takes movies and poetry, preferring humor in both ; high spots for him are satirical You Can ' t Take It with You and nonsensical Ogden Nash. He also likes a serious turn with works by social science liberals Herbert Agar and George Soule. Recognition of Kuraner ' s ability : A fourth-year Summer- field Scholar and a regular on Dean ' s Honor Rolls, he has been chosen to Owl Society, Sachem. Phi Beta Kappa (in fall elec- tion), and the vice-presidency of Pi Sigma Alpha, political science honorary fraternity. From here he goes to law school ; from there from there to whatever presents itself, per- haps experience as a practic- ing attorney in the old home town of Leavenworth. With Irving Kuraner taking care of the present, the future can be counted upon to take pretty good care of itself. Bob Hedges. Photo by An Wol 213 IlillH ' Photo by Art Wolf INTERESTING Frank Annborg No matter how hard a tiling is, Frank Annel)crg can always find a harder way to do it. Things liko playing the trombone, for instance. Frank plays it while standing on his head. Take tap-dancing for another example. He does that upside-down too on his hands. Now Frank doesn ' t stop at this point, he is, in fact, just beginning. After learning the- trick of topsy-turvy tromboning he took his slip-horn to the top of the Wrigley Building in Chicago, balanced himself upside-down on the cornice, and played M e- Bye Blues ' ! Things like this take more than a strong neck. No wonder Boh Ripley made him a feat attraction at the 1934 World ' s Fair Odditorium. At the 1932 Olympics Frank walked on his ban the entire distance, 305 steps, from top to bottom the Los Angeles Coliseum. It is still the longest flig of steps he has done although football fans hen- ha several times seen him do the stunt in the Memo; Stadium. His longest walk on level pavement was entire city block in Topeka. Frank was a frail youth in Leavenworth when took up hand-walking to develop his body. It i- -lil his favorite exercise although he also likes wrestling and tumbling (and is an expert in these too, ,i inn- might expect). Adagio dancing is another of hi in- terests and he taught this last year in a non-credit class. His immediate aim is to get his master ' s degree in physical education and he hopes that teaching won ' t take him out of the middlewest. We want to mention, too, that one of his poems was read on the Between the Bookends program not long ago. Kenneth R. Lewis. John Riisoe So learned in philosophy is John Riisoe that he the wonder of his professors and the despair of his fellow students, assiduous note-takers. He doesn ' t have to take notes in his philosophy classes it ' s all old stuff to him. John is a senior in the college, majoring in phil - phy. He has belonged to the Men ' s Glee Club for four years and is its business manager this year, belongs to the Congregational Fireside Forum a was its president the first semester. Is a member the Futilitarians, a new Hill discussion organiza- tion. He says they have an elaborate charter, tliat they are supposed to be making a study of the humanities, but that they usually end up in terrific arguments. In the NYA movie, Builders of Tomorrow John had the lead. He also helped on the photography, the most interesting aspect of which was gettin;; I go to St. Louis to photograph three bums on the ri cr banks. John has been entirely self-supporting for three years part NYA, part summer work, part grading philosophy papers. Speculation is that John will go far as a teacher l philosophy. When questioned on this he said he ' d like to teach, but if he doesn ' t, he ' ll just be a fanner. Rosemary Casper. Agnes Muniert rying to keep from becoming an activity woman is Agnes Mumert ' s chief concern this year. I ' ve got too much to do! she says. She writes for the Kansan and the Jayhaicker, reads poetry she likes Chinese verse and works in the library. Nevertheless, Agnes is the kind of person that people just have to have for committees, cabinets, and stuff. As a result the girl has found herself, from time to time, serving on the I. S. A. and House Presidents ' councils, helping edit the K-book, and keeping the minutes of the Quill Club. When there is a spare moment this journalism major likes to go dancing but says that K . U. men aren ' t as good dancers as eastern and southern men. A position on the staff of a fashion magazine is her main ambition but she believes it might be possible to combine marriage and a career providing her hus- band has a different profession. Agnes will admit to a sentimental streak saying that she is always saving old valentines, dance cards, letters things she has no use for. During vacations Agnes returns to Vliets ( 200 people, she says, as if it were part of the name) where folks still think of her as the little girl with a mania for climbing trees. She wants it known, how- ever, that the tomboy traits are gone and gives for proof the fact that she makes some of her own dresses. c ' l have believed her anyway. We found out that she has a standing offer to model fashions in Chicago. Kenneth R. Lewis. Bill Ward Beethoven ' s Fifth slays me. Also I like Sibelius ' Second and Hanson ' s Nordic. Ravel ' s Bolero makes me feel like I ' ve been on a cheap drunk. Such are the tastes of Bill Ward, musician extraordinary. Himself a composer, he wrote the Oread Symphony, which has been played by the University Symphony Orchestra. He has composed a number of other things, does arrangements for the band, and wrote his high school Alma Mater. He is a senior in Fine Arts, taking two degrees, one in Public School Music and one in Composition. His favorite pastime is telling jokes. He says he is also an amateur matchmaker. (This may be one of his jokes.) Anyhow he claims a batting average of about 75 per cent in this interesting avocation in Yellowstone Park cabin camps, where every summer he is a pack-rat (porter, to you). His own opinions of the fair sex well, that ' s some- thing else again. They ' re all right, and even very important, but thinks it would be a great catastrophe if he ever fell in love. He intends to be true to his art, taking his composing seriously and all that. Still, he ' d. almost rather teach than freeze in some obscure garret all his life in the beautiful old tradition.

II FEBRUARY 1940 217 m nuts Uth by BILL FEY YOU will no doubt be surprised to know that the most illuminating actor in Night of January 16th was the audience. This must literally be true if one is to look at the play objectively, for the man on the seat turned in the more creditable performance. You have probably concluded that reference is made to that small part of the audience which sat in the jury box and handed in an equal amount of guilty and not guilty verdicts. But such is not the case at all. The reference is to the entire audience which was just a bit dis- appointed even suffering from hurt pride that they were tossed high school drama from an indelicate shovel. Night of January 16th ' was Just Another Play. Granted that the audience enjoyed this play. or an unleashed laugh; the audience didn ' t have to think during the play, that was all done on stage; there was little enough left to the imagina- tion; it was altogether too easy a play. The positive of these same reasons make the out- standing past shows memorable. And so, congratulations and great heaping baskets of orchids to you, audience. You turned in a fine performance. You evinced a discrimi- nating taste which the producers evidently hadn ' t expected. You have, by your action, demanded a higher type of dramatic production for the future in Fraser Theatre. Henceforward, the campus department from which plays emanate must do a better job of selecting its offerings, else it might suffer from your absence. Night of January 16th is a murder trial in three court sessions, coming right down to the audience to select its jury. Having selected THE Mm OF J4MRY 16 Ingrid Frestadius swears on the Good Book as Marvin Moon looks judicially on. (Photo by Bingham.) . . . Jack Kelson quizzes his client, Jean Brown, while District Attorney Les Hi ion frowns. (Photo by Wolf.) thought it was fun but only while it lasted. They soon forgot it. Student play-goers still talk of such past per- formances as Bury the Dead, Winterset, Cum Laude, and Beggar on Horseback ; they will remember this season ' s Emperor Jones and My Heart ' s in the highlands. It is more probable that Night of January 16th will not be long in memory. There is, of course, a reason for this. Simple enough the audience was not left with a question in mind, a tear in the eye, twelve jurists, the play proceeds through a maze of highly improbable evidence which, by the end of the third act. is supposed to balance in favor of and against the defendant. After the third act the jury retires to cast a majority vote of convic- tion or freedom for the woman on trial for murder. Since American juries in general seem to favor a beautiful murderess and since the New York run garnered but one or two convictions, (Continued on Page 233) THE JAYHAWKER i,ni:i:i:ni, COUNCIL President George Rippey I ' ice-President William Sorcnson Secretary-Treasurer Dwight D.

Ma The history of The Kansas School of Engineering dales from the year 1891, which saw the official found- ing of the school as a division separate from the Col- lege of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Since that year (when the curriculum of the newly- established school consisted only of civil and elec- trical departments) numerous additions and improve- ments have been effected. Under F. O. Marvin, first dean, mechanical and chemical departments were added. Erection of Blake Hall, named for Prof. Lucien Blake, provided space for physics and elec- trical engineering. Mining became a department in 1900, under the direction of Prof. Erasmus Haworth, and in 1907 Marvin Hall was completed with offices, a library, classrooms and laboratories. In 1913, archi- tectural engineering was added and petroleum be- came a separate division in 1937. Representative government of the slip-stick slid- ers is carried out by a council of fourteen, including representatives of the seven departments and the foi classes in the school. Members are chosen in depar mental and class elections. Responsibilities of the council include the yearly Hobnail Hop and the -r gineering book exchange, by which hooks may obtained at cheaper prices. On the date of the Kansas Relays, the eniiir school holds its annual Exposition and Field Day at which each department lias an individual displ;i . This event attracts the interest of many high school students and renders valuable publicity for tin- school. Rivalry among the departments is mani- fested in swimming, baseball, tug-o-war, and othc games on Field Day. But in general, the average engineer ' s workii hours are spent battling diligently with 18 to hours, witli tedious laboratory schedules, and wit long exacting technical reports. Jay Voran.

Psi, leading the scoring brigade in this year ' s hectic intramural basketball cam- paign, the likelihood for the greatest season of scoring in the history of the sport in the intramural department is more than evident. After tallying twenty-seven points against the Warriors early in January for individual scoring honors of the season, Johnson came back in the next fray to chalk up fifty-three markers against the Mississippi Meteors as the A. K. Psi business- men buried their opponents under a 78 to 13 barrage. Up until these two scoring bursts by Johnson, teammate Gene Funck had been lead- ing the scorers, thus giving the A. K. Psis, last year ' s division winners, a powerful scoring front line seldom equalled in intramural play. Also in Division III of Class A. the Buccaneers continued the high scoring by trouncing the Rock Chalk quintet, 72 to 18. Pacing the attack of the Buccaneers are gridsters Hubert Ulrich, Claire Bourne, and Marvin Van- daveer. In Division II of Class A, the Galloping Ghosts, champions of last year ' s play-off, and the Comets are leading and appear to be easy favorites as representatives of their division in the final play- offs. Leading the Ghosts in defense of their divi- sion title are veterans Manager Floyd Kelly, Warner Coffin, and Warren Shupe. Francis Domingo is the ace of the Comet five. In Division I is found the biggest scramble for places in the play-off. Delta Chi, defending champions in this division, appear to be one of the logical choices to enter the final round. Ed Hall and Norman Kraemer are the co-stars of this outfit. Presenting the biggest obstacle in the path of last year ' s winners are the Phi Gams. With the addition of Larry McSpadden to their already strong team of Chain Healey, Jim Morris, Porky Hambric, and Harold Long, the Phi Gams have the biggest chance of emerging as division champs. The two other teams most likely to enter the play-offs are the Phi Delts, led by Bill McKinley (Continued on Page 239) in: us by LILLIAN FISHER ISTRAMCRALS When the Pi Phis continue to beat the Kappas that is not news. When girls con- tinue to be boys and play basketball that is not news. But, when a certain Hill course turns into a Dating Bureau and the instructor of a dignified State University is called Miss Jane Emily Post Byrn, then that is news that is worth writing about. The physical education department of the University of Kansas started a course in social dancing last year. Now it has one of the largest enrollments of any class on the Hill. And why shouldn ' t it be so popular? It should be. It probably is doing more direct good for the stu- dents who enroll in it than most courses with the exception, perhaps of professional studies. Many students who come to the University have never had the oppor- tunity to mingle with those of the opposite sex, or have never been permitted to dance. Other students linger long hours in laboratories and do not have time for any form of recreation and never have time for a date. For just such students, the social dancing course was included in the curriculum of this modern, middlewestern University. Miss Jane Byrn, the instructor, takes a great interest in seeing the improvement of the class. To begin with, this group of shy, awkward, tongue-tied, men and women are taught folk dances and country dances. The Virginia Reel keeps them busy and makes them change part- ners so often that the barrier between boy and girl is early broken down, and a spirit of frivolity soon prevails. Couples pair off and soon coke dates appear. This class almost fills a social duty to many of these students. The folk dancing does away with self-con- sciousness as well as teaching the social dancing of another day. Miss Byrn also encourages ques- tions of etiquette to be asked. How many of us could properly answer this question: If a boy steps on your toes and says ' pardon me ' what should you say? The modern ballroom dance is taught to the (Continued on Page 239) I., |H THE JAY II A W K K K SPKIM, STYLES Carry: what you call plenty of oomph Styled for the Young Man, as he wants em Vanity Town Suits $30 Varsity Town Sport Coats $16.50 Varsity Town Tug Slacks $6.50 Just the finest good clothes money will buy.

CHICAGO ILLINOIS MENS Winter may have fled from the verbal bombardment it lias suf- fered around tbe campus of late by the time these words of wisdom are drying on a Jaybawker page, but in Kansas one never knows what not to expect. At any rate, before you hang up those ice skates, think twice, and remember that for the next snow you can ex- hibit a little fashion plus some in- ward warmth wearing the latest in ski suits for men. Men this year have stolen the women ' s Arctic thunder with cor- duroy and whipcord outfits that make the ice melt and run the other way. An inexpensive com- bination of ankle-length, cuffless cords (preferably narrow in the leg) , a lightweight poplin or suede wind jacket, and a pair of oiled -Inn-tin, ni- will shout defiance at that cold wind. Obers can show you all of these essentials. And if you ' ve been robbed of a coat by the meanest man in the world, glance twice at Larry Cay- wood ' s corduroy knockabout be- fore you buy another one. A Woolf Brothers product, it is full and roomy, just slightly over fingertip length, and has a wide collar, slash pockets and a ticket pocket. Neat is the word for it. By this time, however, you ' ve no doubt learned the art of keeping warm those who haven ' t should be reading these hints from within a coffin so further elaboration on that science is superfluous. Instr;ul. let ' s gander at something that ' ll ward off the chill of winter sug- gestions for spring. Blending with the green and light tan of spring requires that you abandon that stocking cap f. lightweight felts in rustic sha This being leap year a .m lady ' s fancy turns to thoughts love, which obviously n.|ni men (well dressed and well I, neted).

Ober ' s have a keen wlec- lion, and they cost but the snap .if a finger. Incidentally, the vogue of -i mi- sport clothing for general spring and summer wear has made it -.- sential to own at least one of the new semi-sport straws in a pie porkpie shaped crown. These, well as other types of hats a softer, in keeping with style dic- tates this year.

And beside- row-ri- and gabardines they can show ou some nifty flannels and rav.ni-. some swell light worsteds, and Palm Beach styles that beat air- conditioning for keeping cool. Speaking of rayon, look over the trim sport shirt and slack combina- tions in rustic and green colors that will lead the pack retreating from over-ambitious lassies this spring. 11 1 1 :. FEBRUARY 1940 229 Other style hints for spring: Suit patterns predominant will be coverts, gabardines, worsteds, flannels, rayons, Palm Beaches, and cottons, in light herringbone, pin- striped, and plain weaves, stripes somewhat subdued. Colors will be varieties of greens, tans, greys and light browns, with several off-shade mixtures. Plaids take a back seat to simplicity. Styles will be single- breasted, drape backs, slash pock- ets and ticket pockets, peak lapels, and narrow bottoms in slacks. Dyche Comes to Life ...

Notable among these is Comanche, famous mount of an Indian fighter and the only sur- vivor of Custer ' s last stand, in- carcerated in some dark hole under the auditorium. Down in the basement Walter Yost, a senior in the School of Fine Arts, is painting mural back- grounds for some of the museum ' s mounted fossils. He has completed the painting for an extinct bison ' s skeleton, which was mounted by the famous Dr. H. T. Martin, and is putting the finishing touches on another painting of a rhinoceros which once roamed Kansas plains. Poco Frazier has started clean- ing and replacing his dioramas depicting prehistoric life in Kan- sas. These are being installed in special cases in the basement. An anonymous gift of $1,500 made pos- sible the construction of nine of these three-dimension pictures sev- eral years ago. Six more will be completed for the basement ex- hibits. On the second floor NYA stu- dents are working on the bird ex- hibits. Each species will have its own case decorated according to its natural habitat. Kansas ' collection of birds is known among ornitholo- gists throughout the country. It will require several years to restore the museum completely, said Dr. H. H. Lane, curator, but as fast as an exhibit is completed it will be opened to public view. Hill Hangouts . . . (Continued from Page 174) here.

Such nohle and lofty- minded purpose was in the order of the day when we were frequent- ing the lihrary, cutting down on cigarettes, buying quiz books, and most generally preparing ourselves for final week. But tradition is such a beautiful institution. Man has been a gossip- hound for years. Who are we to demolish this instinctive urge, this primeval means of expression, this joyous relaxation which comes from telling nearly all we know? And after all, a page swept by a vacuum looks obnoxious so let ' s talk, talk, talk. Nancy Kesler, Theta blonde, and Art Wolf, the man that camera carries around, are well-educated in the modes of farming in Law- rence-vicinity. Heavy traffic makes Art nervous so they were forced (for temperamental protection) into a side road. And thus our drama reaches a dramatic climax.

PHONE 635 BACK FEME Of all the stories we ' ve ever heard ahout girls who make two dates for one night, the following wins the yellow ribbon for all-time dumb excellence : Jeanne Neely, Alpha Chi sug- arer, got slightly crossed on her party bids. Inviting both Jimmy Russell (Sigma Nu) and an un- known Kappa Sig she let both anticipate in bliss until the eve- ning of the fatal event. Then, after both naive ones had paraded in front of fraternity brothers in full dress, she called to say she was ill and not able to go. No party, and sympathy would have been her only punishment if the two left-outs hadn ' t gotten together at a Hill cafe and dis- covered the crime. Now Jeanne is on the black list of both boys and must search for coke-buyers else- where. After much consideration and due elimination of non-essentials, we wish to call your attention to: Larry Smith, freckled Sigma Chi raccoon coat wearer; Reginald Buxton in a huge topper which he rightly calls his Rose Bowl, 1926 model; Nancy Carey, Pi Phi pride, lost in Sue Haskins ' size-10 ski boots which measure larger than the little foot-coverings of Bill Bunsen, Phi Delt footballer; finger bowl haircuts of Darrell Mathes. now Sig Alph, Stu Keown, Kappa Sig, and ten or twelve Sigma Chi ' s.

Phi Psi Franny Franklin spent many moping hours while petite Mary Noel, Kappa, re- hearsed for Quality Street. Most confused of all events re- ported us was that of Bill Hortor, (Sigma Chi) who called the Gamma Phi house for Suzy Adair. Unwittingly he just asked for Suzy and was given Suzy Lowderman by mistake. He didn ' t tell his name, and Suzy thought she recognized his voice as belonging to Frank Pinet of the same lodge. A date was made for the evening with all of these horrible consequences: Horton buzzed for Adair; Adair had another date; Lowderman was out a date; Horton thought it was a put up job; everybody was em- barrassed; Horton failed to show up for class the next day; relations were slow in getting patched.

The bookbinding classes are per- haps the most interesting, for in them the students learn an ancient and painstaking eraft which is prartieed in few places in this country and taught in even fewer. Second-hand bookstores are haunted for good books in worn- out bindings which can be pur- chased cheaply.

Announcements of contests, scholarships, and other awards are received constantly. hen a K. II. student enters a contest, he usually receives recognition. In recent years representatives of the de- partment here have received prizes in national contests for such di- verse items as rug designs, wall- paper designs, telegrams for the New York World ' s Fair, Safety Campaign posters, and display booths. Last year six out of ten awards offered by the National Meat Corporation were won by design students, and Andy Dar- ling, now on the Jayhawker art staff, took the $300 first prize. Graduates of the school are mak- ing themselves and this school felt in art circles. Some now have their own studios. Paul Mannen, a re- cent graduate, is doing a series of murals for the government at Fort Riley. Many are teaching in high schools and colleges. Carol John- son, the author of those touching murals in the Union Fountain, is now a cartoonist with a Cleveland newspaper syndicate. Certainly the art school can be set apart from any other on the campus and not only because it ' s physically elevated abovet he strife and turmoil of the campus. Its per- sonality is different.

Other activ- ities in the School of Fine Arts include an intensive radio pro- gram in which both faculty and advanced students take part, and the filling of requests for musical programs that come from groups both inside and outside the Uni- versity. So has the School of Fine Arts grown in the past fifty years. Its first objective, which emphasizes the place that the appreciation of music should play in the life of the average college student, is slowly being realized. Dean Swarthout said, We reach a con- stantly growing group, but we have a long, long way to go before our goal is reached. One can grow in music appreciation like one can learn to add and to subtract, but one must have the desire to grow and want to know about music. Its second objective the estab- lishment of a course of training to give students interested in the field a solid background in theory and applied music is already a fact. And always the School has kept in mind the service it can render both within and without the University. Like that of the Old Band, the value of that service cannot be measured.

Four performances netted a split score on verdicts which ordinarily would indicate a balanced amount of acting ability for the defense and plaintiff. More likely, it indi- cated the difference between the number of students and towns- people on the jury. Much could be said for the act- ing in Night of January 16th - but, as usual, much will be left unsaid of the poor thespian. Not more than two persons really stood out from the crowd for their gen- eral histrionics: Jean Brown por- trayed a very sultry and altogether supercilious murderess; Jack Nel- son, as her defense attorney, han- dled his case and acting in superior fashion. After getting off to a bad start in the initial performances, Les Hixon, as the district attorney, turned in much better work in the finals. Several of the witnesses in the trial were outstanding in their minor roles. Larry David handled his gangster ' s cynicism and authen- tic Brooklyn accent with comical haughtiness. Barbara Daniels, much to her credit, did not over- play a hip-swinging painted gang- ster ' s moll. Emily Jean Milan held up her end of the murdered man ' s wife, friction point to the murder- ess. They had one swell curtain scene together. The character part honors were easily copped by Ingrid Frestadius, of the Stockholm Frestadiae, as a Swedish maid. (Ver would a svade come from but Svaden?). Stan McLeon was also Swedish in a credible American way. Marvin Moon was the lackadaisical judge, as judges mostly are, and seemed to have the situation well in hand. Lending authenticity to the courtroom panorama were: Betty Strach an as prison matron, Lee Huddleston as bailiff, Vic Amend and Lloyd Bell as secretaries, Boh Miller as secretary of the court, Reola Durand as stenographer, and Victor l.o- kni as a policeman. On the witness stand at various times were: Bill Shipley as a doctor, Edna Earl Brooks as a janitress, Gordon Brigham as a private dick, Dave Watermulder as a cop, Jack Dalby as father to the mourning wife, and Emmy Jane Harbin as a handwriting expert. They all put forth nobly on a play not worthy of them. And yet, as always, it must be held: De gustibus non disputandum est. As the Second Half Opens ...

The idea of it is usually enough to remove all aeademie amhition from the student for the day. Q: Doesn ' t anyone ever just sit down and study? A: Eh? Q: Doesn ' t anyone ever just sit down and study? A. No. In my years of research I have never come across a case. Most students realize that studying requires certain preparations in order to be carried on successfully. Q: What are some of these preparations? A: In the first place, the stu- dent must move his clothes off the chair in order to have a place to sit down while he is studying. He must also clean off his desk in order to have a place to write, in case he should want to take notes or something. He should also be sure that he has paper. Q: What else does the student need? A: Well, providing that he has a chair, a desk, and some paper, the next thing a student needs is a pencil. Q: I see. Doesn ' t he usually have a pencil? A: No. He has loaned his to his roommate and the other hoys in the house have long since depleted the cache of pencils he had estab- lished at the beginning of the year. Q: What does he do then? A: He searches every room in the house, looking for somebody ' s cache of pencils that has not yet been totally depleted. Q: What are the chances of his finding one? A: Not very great. However, he usually finds three bull sessions in which he puts in a word or two. 0: What does he decide to do then? A: He decides that he will have to study without doodling I mean, without taking notes this evening, so he comes hack to his room and sits down. Q: And then he starts to study? A: No, not yet. First he ' s got to decide what to study. Q: How does he do this? A: He sits and thinks until an inspiration comes to him. Q: What type of inspiration? A: It ' s a very sudden and un- expected thing even somewhat terrifying. A sudden resolve and determination fills him; a gleam comes into his eyes. Tonight, he screams, tonight I will study psy- chology! Q: And then, of course, he sits down and studies psychology. A: Not so fast, not so fast. Then he telephones some half-dozen members of his psychology class until he finds one who knows what the assignment was. Q: All right, let ' s assume he finally finds out what the ment is. Then he picks up his book A: Assuming, of course, that his roommate or somebody hasn ' t bor- rowed or pawned the book. . . . Q: and starts studying. Highly A: Well, practically. Before In- starts, of course, he must turn on the radio and find a good program to furnish background music. 1 1 impossible for a modern student in study without a radio. Q: How long does it take to an appropriate program on tin- radio? A: Oh, anywhere from fiftrrn , fifty minutes. Q: All right, he ' s finally got good program on the radio. Eve tiling ' s all set. Then he ? A: He sits down in the chair, pulls it up to the desk, open hi book and reads about two .-i tences. Q: What happens then? A: The marines come to tlu rescue in our little melodrama! Q: Eh? A: One of the hoys bursts int the room and says: Let ' s go to picture show! Q: And what is his answer? A: He lays his book down or the desk eagerly and says: No, can ' t, I ' ve got to study. Q: What does the other boj say? A: He says: Now listen, there ' s a western and Joan Bennett ' s the other one. You can ' t miss that ! ... Of course, if you ' ve got study, you ' ve got to study. . . do kind of hate to go to shov alone though. . . . Q: What does our student dt cide then?

He tells the other fellow: ' But I mustn ' t he gone long! Q: Is he gone long? A: Yes. After the show they drop in for a cup of coffee at a Hill hangout and spend an hour or so discussing how lousy the show was and other matters of import- ance. Q: Confidentially, does the stu- dent get any studying done that night? A: No, by the time he gets home it ' s time to go to bed. So after -pi ' iiding another hour or so in a bull session he goes to bed. Q. Does the student ever get any studying done? A: I ' m not sure. I ' ve only been -tuclying the subject for four years.

The club has about 175 or 180 members, of whom only a matter of fifteen room and board at the club house. They all get to- gether on club night, Friday, and have a dance or a lecture. The club gives teas and spon- sors tournaments: bridge, table tennis, pool. It was a member of this club who took the state cham- pionship in table-tennis two years ago. How good their bridge play- ers are we cannot tell you, but in the present bridge tournament, Frederick Moreau, dean of the Law School, is leading the field. Kesselman says that members of the club are quite normal, as far as he can see, except that they show a strong interest in affairs of the day. Since only unmarried men room in the house, we asked Kesselman how the celibate life agreed with an intellectual. Oh, yes, he guardedly an- swered, and how does it agree with anybody? . . . Well, they only infrequently date co-eds. Most of them have a girl friend at home or in Topeka. . . . They have no trouble getting dates to a club dance as far as I know. Far be it from us to be a society reporter. We agreed to tell you how your teacher ever got his job. This should interest some pros- pective educators who still go to school. For instance, there ' s the technique of becoming a dean. The golden rule which should be in- voked by the candidate for a dean- ship (as in politics) is, simply: Don ' t appear to be too available. What actually happens when a deanship is vacant is roughly this: The chancellor begins the search for a new dean by himself, or he may appoint a committee to help him eliminate part of those men under consideration. After per- haps months of interviewing and examining records of candidates, one is chosen. For example, three years or so ago, the engineering school lost its dean. The chancel- lor ' s office wrote to engineers all over the country who were promi- nent both professionally and aca- demically in the field, asking them to suggest men within the means of K. V., who were qualified. Out of the list so compiled came the selec- tion of a few who best measured up to standard and they consider both achievement and personality and from the list came Ivan C. Crawford, of Idaho, K. U. ' s present dean of engineering. The work of finding a new pro- fessor is not so laborious, but it follows the same paths. The head of the department, the dean of the school, and the Chancellor have a band in it. Selection of instructors and assistants is usually the work of the particular department, with merely an O. K. from the Chan- cellor. If we were editorializing, we would mention the fact that K. U. has a wage scale from 24 to 35 per cent below the average of mid- western universities, because of in- adequate appropriations from the legislature. And K. U. must com- pete with these schools for staff members. Still, we aren ' t editorializing, after all; only trying to picture what is behind the faces we do have the faces which speak those dispiriting lectures. Religion Plus Youth . . .

There also is a newly formed group of Jewish students which m. . i- with Rabbi Mayerberg. A social atmosphere of serious discussion mingled with light- beared fun and gayety is pro- vided by evening groups of the forum type. The usual meeting consists of an opening devotional service, then a short talk by a stu- dent or faculty member, and a discussion, with refreshments afterward. Among these forum groups are the Wesley Foundation the Presbyterian Westminster Forum, the Baptists ' Roger W ' il- liams Foundation, the Unitarians ' Promethean Club, the Congrega- tional Fireside Forum. In addition to the groups al- ready mentioned, most of the churches sponsor sororities, or clubs, for the girls expressing preference for that denomination. The Methodists maintain Kappa Phi; the Presbyterians, Phi Chi Delta: the Baptists, Theta Ep- silon; the Christians, Kappa Beta: and the Congregationalists, Delta Phi Sigma. Membership in these sororities averages between thirty and fifty-five. The Y.M.C.A. and the Y. W. C.

These commissions pro- vide a combination of lecture and discussion, and try to indicate something of the social and edu- cational aspects of Christianity. Both organizations are growing, not only in numbers, but also in the ability and desire to cooperate with each other. Many commis- sions meet jointly. This year the Y. W. membership is 300 and the Y.

Other strong teams in this division given a chance of making the play- offs include the Kappa Sigs with Larry Hensley and Bill Southern in the fore, the Pi K.A.s with Jack Engle and Lester Pojezny as the main threats, and Sigma Chi with Van Hartman and Bill Hyatt their chief hopes. In Class B the Phi Gains should take the bunting with the Kappa Sigs giving them a very close race. The other two Class B teams that will probably make the play-offs with Class C are the Sig Alphs and the Phi Psis. In Class C the Betas are favorites with the Phi Delts and Phi Psis trailing in that order. The regular schedule of games should reach its conclusion the first week in March and the play- offs of Class A and of Class B and C, combined, will follow imme- diately. With the indoor season also came the introduction of volleyball into the schedule of events. The D. U. ' s, play-off winners of last year, and the Betas are fighting it out for the championship of Division I. In Division II the two leading teams are the Kappa Sigs and the Sig Alphs. Four teams from each division will enter the play-offs in March. The final sport on the winter docket is the swimming meet scheduled for the last w eek in February. The Galloping Dom- inoes were victors in the meet last year and with several additions to the squad have been given the doubtful honor of being installed as favorites. Their biggest compe- tition is expected to come from the Phi Gams with the Phi Psis and Betas liable to surprise at any time. Intramural Hers ...

Many of the so-called best dancers on the Hill always do the same step no matter what the music is; but these social dancers learn to fit their steps to the type of music played. Last semester the course proved so popular that over twenty stu- dents asked for an advanced course this semester. The request has been answered and the new course will center, mainly, around creat- ing new steps.

We aren ' t assuming that curric- ular reorganization will leave the educational system practically per- fect. Far from that. But we are assuming that many of the other problems may never be solved, un- less some fundamental step is taken in a new and right direction. Within the framework of a new curricular set-up, further problems may be grappled with and further long-needed adjustments made. The very reorganization would call for the establishment of an entirely new profession, called teaching - teaching as opposed to lecturing, on the one hand, or that meaningless drudgery called research, on the other. Then- will have to be people especuilK qualified to teach ihese freshman- sophomore courses not merely as- sislanl instruclors who arc trying franlically to work up to u Ph.

They must of necessity refuse to give credits merely for hours spent sleeping in class they will give credits solely for subjectmatter covered. This implies provisions for independent study for faster- moving studenls, plus provisions for speedy passage of certain pre- requisite courses by examination if the student is prepared to do o. Yes, some students will still go FOR HEALTH ' Hi. FEBRUARY 1940 out with more knowledge than others, but there will be a large, irreducible minimum. Even the grading system, which is really a national problem, rather than merely local, might eventually be attacked, worn down, and annihi- lated. And in time it might actually be true that the Bachelor of Arts degree or the Associate in Arts which might be given at the end of the sophomore year would mean something. And despite all fears to the con- trary, we know that students will welcome such a project. It will take a year or two for them to catch on just as it often takes two or three semesters for the reputa- tion of an outstanding new profes- sor to become known. But they will soon react favorably and grate- fully. Every faculty adviser who has seen freshmen floundering in the seas of ignorance and inde- cision will support that prediction. These poor young people want to be helped. They have no way of knowing what a liberal education is simply because they happen to be entering freshmen! Why can ' t they be offered a chance not re- quired to enter such a system, but simply given a chance to learn what they need to learn? We ' re not criticizing particular administrators or particular teach- Get Set For SPRING in a Smart HYDE PARK SUIT Easter Is Only a Short Time Away CLOTHING co. ers. We ' re criticizing the whole system. Why have there been no large changes changes which are so obviously and desperately needed? Educational leaders for the most part know and admit that major things are wrong. Is this inaction because of ignorance of what to do? We doubt it. We think it ' s because of simple lack of initiative. Marche Militaire: A Caricature A new and shiny major, brown and gold, saluted with his glittering silver blade (that never saw daylight, save on par- ade) and tried to look like Tamburlane of old. The bugles blared the march; the deep drums rolled; the day was bright with death and flash- ing braid, and drunken music through the thick air swayed. Here were the patriots who bought and sold. (White were their spats, white as the virgin pearl!) On their vast paunches the bright medals hung and jigged obscenely; and a flag draped girl sold practised lips for lives. His arms upflung gauntly, a farm boy hymned the iron whirl of war with thick and unaccustomed tongue. MARTIN J. MALONEY AUTO WRECKING AND JUNK CO.

It was real springy weather out and I sure did hate to spend the afternoon at the library, but like Dad says, I ' m here for an education.

Ph. 451 THE JAY H A W K E R We ' ve been camping on Stew J..IM- ' trail for some time now, and from the quality of our leading article in ilii- i 8ue you ran see why. Cunningham, Doctor of Science, is not only timely and ahout a famous subject. 1 1 - one of the outstanding pieces of writing we ' ve had the privilege of present- ing in this year ' s Jayhawker. Color- ful, yet balanced and considered, we vote it a worthy contribution to the long list of Cunningham lore We weren ' t quite sure what we were getting into when we commis- sioned Reginald Buxton and Bob Hedges to write on their own sides of the fraternity - independent fence. But we decided we ' d let them pick their own attack posi- tions and see what kind of a scrap developed. Imagine our chagrin when we found them weeping on each other ' s shoulders only on paper, of course and agreeing without stint on the question: What ' s the fraternity man got that the vagrant independent hasn ' t got? Friends. But aside from the question of accidental agreement, both are re- markably descriptive works. Hedges writes somewhat from the romantic angle, sets his ideas in narrative form. Buxton lashes out in strictly realistic style, with some of the best similes and stuff that we ' ve seen locally for quite a while. Don ' t miss Independence With a Vengeance and Lo, the Happy Fraternity Man (sorry, Bob, but we simply couldn ' t resist that title! I on ' pagcs 284 and 285 You cant miss Don Fitzgerald ' s lively drawings, which are, like- wise, remarkably descriptive. . . . The Extension Division has been doing too much work in, for, and around the University, not to get some mention. And the more one gets into its story, the more won- derful its complexity becomes. Consult a laborer within the walls H II T PRICE GLAMOR? One or two people have lately complained that the Jayh in-kcr Magazine hasn ' t enough Glamor. And ever since we heard that, dear readers, we ' ve had what might be loosely termed an inner glow. Let ' s put the ugly fact plainly: We don ' t care a hoot for Glamor. (And if there ' s anything less glamorous than a hoot, we just couldn ' t think of it.) This institution the University of Kansas, we mean ha- been haunted by talk of Glamor ever since we kiddies wen- in swaddling clothes. K. U.? Just a lot of fraternities and sorori- ties. Drunks always on a bust. (Did we say glamor?) Campus overrun with Buicks and Packards. Football crowds and pink teas and spring formats. Boys chasing girls. Girls chasing boys. Whoops ! The impression that K. U. is something like all of that, has been pretty well intrenched in otherwise adult minds through- out the state. Somebody gets hurt in an automobile crash in- volving one of the 5000 persons in the University community, and people shake their heads sadly, saying: Well, that ' s K. U. for you. High school boys ask mischievously as they did at a recent Y convention Aren ' t K. U. kids stuck up? Now, this myth of Mount Oread snootiness won ' t be downed by simple negative protest. The important thing is to tell Kan- sas people in positive vein what University life actually is. That ' s what the Jayhawker has been trying to do. On the other hand, we ' ve been trying to do an even more important thing. We ' ve been trying to show University stu- dents themselves how the other ninety-nine percent live. Most of us are too busy (constructively or otherwise) to be able l explore personally more than one or two subdivisions of campus life. Hence the Jayhawker Magazine, as interpreter. Some people hereabout, of course, are simply one-track miiuN those childlike souls, for instance, who do spend most of their time whirling around Mount Oread in their 15 nick Con- vertibles and making a big albeit empty noise on the campus. These colorful creatures no doubt think that K. U. is very like themselves. Their hangers-on think so. Their more numerous , atari APRIL 1940 253 and more distant imitators (may their unhappy tribe decrease) think so, too, as they valiantly try to keep up with the junior Joneses. To such Guileless Gay Dogs a part of our efforts have been secretly directed. Not that we are actually trying to convert any of the Convertibles. Nothing so hopeless as that. We just hope that somewhere sometime something might get under their lily-white skins. For, of course, in spite of all the delightful publicity these Glamorous Ones get for themselves, they are not the whole truth about K. U. K. U. is something far, far bigger and more complicated and more serious than Glamor. . . . K. U. is the Jayhawk Co-Op and boys cooking their own potatoes and apple pie. It is 400 NYA workers doing every- thing from sorting fossils to binding books. It is fraternity men selling shirts and suspenders and two-tone shoes from 1 to 5 p.m. It is Watkins and Miller Hall scholarships for girls. . . . K. U. is four fellows from the same home town meeting at the corner of Tenth and Massachusetts to go to a show. Or it ' s a timid independent stepping into the Union Fountain for his first coke date. K. U. is the ISA, and boys and girls going to dances who never could before. It is fraternity house meetings with heartfelt groans over the cost of party decorations, and it ' s the hectic pell-mell of rush week. . . . K. U. is the library on Monday evening and on Friday evening. It is fraternity quiz-files and the monthly trek of Summerfield Scholars to the Endowment Office. K. U. is blank- faced, pink-cheeked freshmen staring out the classroom window and senior men getting together for organized bull-sessions. It is professors, too; churning away at years-old lectures and profs talking with students in personal conferences. . . . K. U. is outside activities. Men and women trudging on the Hill at 7 :30 in the morning for band practice, in the evening for dramatics or Dean ' s Choir. Meetings of the French Club, Sachem, the K-Club, the Pan-Hellenic Council, the Y. M. and Y. W. Journalism students editing the Daily Kansan. Presby- terians and Congregationalists and Catholics organizing Uni- versity programs for Lent. Engineers building an Exposition. Lectures and fine arts recitals and plays and basketball. . . . K. U. is a great many things things that can be seen only in part, never in whole. It is an endless panoramic picture, made up of the earnestness of 5000 different people, going in 5000 different directions. Dare we say, in spite of such odds, that the Jayhawker plays a major part in interpreting those 5000 differences? Well, at least we dare to plan with that aim in mind. And we dare to hope, too, that our aim is understood by our readers as the im- possible and yet the fascinating aim that it is. Editor: RICHARD MACCANN Business Manager: CHAD CASE if you want to know: Gene Rick- etts, page 256. . . . The same goes for the Y. M. C. A., which has been capably handled, in this case quite from the outside, by Kenneth Lewis. For those who didn ' t know that the Y is this year better managed, more popular, and more truly a meeting-ground for fraternity and independent men, than ever before, observe the pictures and article on page 260. . . . We don ' t even have to empha- size Jim Bell ' s article on the year ' s basketball drama. It ' s doing very well by itself, thank you, as a rip- roaring story of a grand season. . . . We don ' t have to emphasize Hal Branine ' s strictly marvellous action shots, either, but we ' re going to. They ' re strictly marvellous. (Pages 264, 265, and 267.) Harry Hill describes succinctly the historical progress, such as it is, of student politics on Mount Oread (page 280). The story is important and timely as all get-out and Andy Darling ' s cartoon is a smartly executed job See also his swell drawing of Glenn-on-his-marks, and his regular illustrations for the Contents Page and for Marginal Notes. . . . Agnes Mumert, by the way, has written an especially good margin- full for us this time. . . . Same goes for Mary Lou Randall and her So- cial Wheel (page 278) Very special plaudits, too, for Jim Sus- sex ' s letter about the medical school in K. C., Presson Shane ' s Midway, and especially for Chuck Elliott ' s story of intramur- als And we think Art Wolfs picture of Kermit Franks is art of considerable merit. . . . A Dedication Being a magazine, and not a book, the Jayhawker, as a 1940 annual, doesn ' t have any flyleaf dedications. But we ' d like, espe- cially in line with our general slogan (Know the University Bet- ter!), to dedicate this particular issue to our friend Mr. Malott. PUBLISHED FIVE TIMES YEARLY BY THE STUDENTS OF KANSAS UNIVERSITY A RECORD OF CAMPUS LIFE, TRENDS, AND PERSONALITIES OF 1939-4O THE JAYHAVKER IT WAS the Princeton Invi- tational Meet of June 17, by STEWART JONES 1934. Glenn Cunningham, senior at the University of Kansas, was pitted against the other great milers of the country Venzke. Bonthron, and Mangan in one of the big meets of the year. This was the feature event of the day. Cunningham, stocky, stolid, was out after a record. The other three were out after Cunningham. A crowd of 40.000 easterners sat tensely while preliminary announcements boomed out over the loud speaker. On the track the men were limbering up: Venzke. nervous, skittish; Bonthron, silently determined, shaking the kinks out of his legs; Cunningham, expressionless, jogging in from a mile warm-up trot. And then it happened. The Kansas miler stepped into a hole in the track. He winced involuntarily as he stumbled, ClIIIMM, Doctor of Science KANSAS ' OWN .l I X TURNS NOW FROM THE STUDY OF III.IM.

They couldn ' t see Bil Hargiss holding the grim Cunningham ' s ankle while trainer Roland Logan taped it taped it as tightly as he dared without cutting off circula- tion. They couldn ' t see Cunningham stepping gingerly on the foot, nodding that he was 0. K., and going out to take his place at the starting point. But they did see what happened then. They saw Glenn, the barrel-chested boy from Kansas, run a mile faster than any human being ever had before. They saw him pass Venzke on the backstretch of the second lap and literally run his opponents to a frazzle with the fastest third quarter ever run in a meet race. And, with one accord, they stood and roared a tre- mendous tribute to the world ' s greatest miler as he came flying home forty yards ahead of Bon- thron and Venzke with a 0:59.1 fourth quarter and a world ' s record mile in the time of 4:06.7. Glenn ' s ankle had swollen so much during the race that the tape around it had burst. Hurt? Of course it did. It was no false heroism which made Glenn run in the Princeton Invitational. It was no do or die for dear old Kansas, and it wasn ' t that I cant let the Coach down now. It was just Glenn. He runs to win and he wins. g R I Determination, plus persistence, plus, Bill Hargiss calls it. And Bill, canny coach of cham- pions, for years Glenn ' s track confidant, ought to know.

In the fall of 1938 Glenn joined the University staff as a speaker for the Extension Division. He has divided his time these two years between lectures and sprints, traveling throughout the nation and keeping in training all the while. ... statistics ... Glenn Cunningham, born Aug. 4, 1909, Elk- hart, Kansas. B.S., Kansas University, 1934; M.S., Iowa University, 1935; Ph.D., New York University, 1938. Married Margaret Spears, ' 34, in August, 1934. Two daughters, aged 9 months, and 3 years. Accredited with invention of the fast third quarter, with no let-up in first, second, or fourth quarters. Outstanding characteristic, his finishing kick. Plans for the future; retire- ment from track competition, and a teaching career. Present home, Peabody, Kansas. Everyone, of course, knows how Glenn ' s career began. Everybody has heard about the schoolhouse fire which took 13-year-old Floyd Cunningham ' s life and left 8-year-old Glenn a cripple with fire-scarred legs. It is common knowledge that the boy who might never walk again faced his handicap with a quiet resistance and developed into an all-around athlete in high school. Under the tutelage of Roy Varney, former Pittsburg State Teachers ' College star, Glenn be- came a football fullback and end, a guard in basketball, a boxer, and a wrestler. He could have made the Kansas Varsity in any of these sports. At the National High School Track Meet in Chicago, in the spring of 1930, he set a new mile record of 4:24.7. But Glenn didn ' t specialize until he came to the University in the fall of 1930.

U. in 1891 (in a plan making available to tin- people of the state a series of faculty lec- ture courses) lies behind the present Ex- tension Division, a general service agency of the University. Its idea is something like this: If you cannot come to the University, let University come to you. Say Extension Division to your aver- age K. U. student, however, and you get a blank look in response. Or, if ur student is an old-timer, he may reply. Oh, that ' s the place where football play- ers make up credits by correspondence, or, That ' s the place they have the films, or, That ' s somewhere in Eraser, isn ' t it? All of which would be vaguely correct. but illustrative of a rather general campus ignorance concerning a division of the University which employs upwards of two score persons, including student part-time assistants; which occupies extensive, but rather crowded, quarters in Eraser Hall; which. except for the Alumni Association, provides most of the services which enable the student to main- tain his contact with the University after grad- uation. The Extension Division operates on the prin- ciple that the facilities of the University, having once been established, should be used not merely by resident students, and not merely by those who have been here in school, but also by those citizens of the state who have had no opportunity to come to the University. Around the Exten imi Division the most frequently heard phrase is off the campus, referring to persons to whom serv- ices are being given. If the mail service bo r r l down, so would the Extension Division. For five huge sacks of mail go in and out each day. While this Mount Oread on wheels or Mount Oread by mail idea explains such serv- ices as correspondence study, extension classes, faculty lectures, and extension library, there are other services which have grown up independ- ently of the University proper and have been attached to the Extension Division bec;iu e the administrative set-up already existed and it APRIL 1940 seemed the most convenient or logical agency for the purpose. Such are the motion picture library of the visual instruction bureau, and the lecture courses for which professional talent is provided. In this class also might be placed radio station KFKU, for its pro- gram direction is handled through the Extension Division. A third category of services includes such fantastic things as ground school aviation training; reading diagnostic service; post-graduate medical clinics; a fire college ; conferences on weld- ing, insurance, and banking; a speech and drama festival; the high school debate institute and tournament; and others. In many of these services a particular school or de- partment of the University cooperates to perform the technical or instructional function, while the Extension Division arranges schedules, secures speakers, collects fees, handles registration, hous- ing, and banqueting of the conference visitors, and takes care of other administrative details. In addition, as an official house organ, the Extension Division once a month edits an issue Photos by Art Wolf At top of page: Mr. Montgomery and Aide Russell Mosser check on a nfte film.

And for relaxation, the entire staff twice a year holds an old-fashioned picnic, which probably doesn ' t de- serve mention except for the quality of the ham- burgers. At the head of all this activity is the director of the Extension Division, Harold G. Ingham, who came to the position in 1916 after having served on the staff of the extension division of the University of Wisconsin. Wisconsin, inci- dentally, was the first state university to estab- lish a special division to carry on extension work. Three years later, in 1909, Kansas University under Chancellor Strong followed Wisconsin ' s example, and Dr. R. R. Price, then superintend- ent of schools at Hutchinson, was made the first director. Price studied the Wisconsin plan, and in short time set up a correspondence study bureau, bor- rowing course outlines to some extent from Wis- consin. He also established a municipal refer- ence bureau (later taken over by the political science department and the library) and organ- ized the state high school debating league. In 1913 he went to the University of Minnesota to become director of extension there, a position he still holds. Terms of one year each as director were served by Dr. D. C. Croissant and F. R. Hamilton, the latter coming from Wisconsin Uni- versity. Mr. Ingham followed Mr. Hamilton, and is now completing his twenty-fourth year as director. The director coordinates the work of (Continued on Page 320) J THE JAYHAWKEB Senior president (from Hays) is a finance major, a member of Delta Sigma Pi, a Ku Kit. a Pachacamac.

Woorr. ihaughllul Y ttcretarv. councilor to many. SERVANT by KENNETH R. LEWIS Photoi by Hal Branine In a study of any university organization it is seldom out of order to begin by considering its purpose. It is logical to want to know why a tbing exists before finding out how it exists. This plan is not readily applied to the univer- sity Y. M. C. A., mainly because the organization is doing so many things at once. Actually the only definition of the Y ' s raison d ' etre which will be strictly true is one which is so general as to seem almost unreal. Nevertheless it would be equally unreal to underestimate it. Briefly, the Y is trying to make the word Christian something more than a mere part of it- name. This is the keynote and essence of its program. Or, in the words of President Kermit Franks, the function of the University Y. M. C. A. is to instruct the student in the application of certain basic principles of religion to the workaday problems that he faces as a citizen in the college community. This idea is both beam and beacon to the Y member in carrying out their multifarious en- deavors, and they follow it without question. As a result the k gets into social welfare, educa- tion, and even politics. It is hardly necessary to add that this policy has drawn sharp criticism from time to time. Every since the unit was first established here more than fifty years ago. there has been some opposition from persons skeptical of the organization ' s principles. But in the same light it must be apparent that the principles must have had strong vitality in order to in.iini.iin student spirit over such a long period. To see how these principles are put into actual practice let us look at the mechanism. Y can claim a total membership of 650 men but out of these only about 150 can be counted on as regulars to give material assistance. The nucleus of the whole is the cabinet which is composed of 23 men, the representatives of the various committees and commissions. The visitor to a cabinet meeting gets the im- pression of sincerity and adherence to purpose. There is little horseplay and even less formality The Y. M. C.

W . of procedure. This seems like a curious combina- tion but it is easily explained. The university Y. M. C. A. is operated on the basis of what is called functional membership, which simply means that work, not seniority, is the determinant of a member ' s status. This is illustrated by the fact that a sophomore, Edwin Price, was elected to the presidency for the next year. A new member is assigned to one of several committees, that is, providing he wishes to roll up his sleeves and get down to business. If he has had experience in public speaking and is an upperclassman with a good grade average he will probably get into the committee on Forums. This committee, like several other Y. M. groups, is formed jointly with the Y. W. C. A. Members of this body in groups of four visit nearby high schools where they give talks and lead discussions on such topics as America in a World at War, Democracy in Danger, and Going to College. Their traveling expenses constitute the only charge made upon the high schools. For the average member who won ' t ordinarily care for this there are other important commit- tees which do considerable work. Possibly the most prominent is the one called Social Action. This body sponsored the Town Hall Meeting of the Air for ten weeks this winter. Apart from that project the members also found time to study the racial question on the campus. Ques- tionnaires measuring racial distances were sent (Continued on Page 319) THE JAYHAWKER Barrio ' s 1ULITY STREET A review by BILL FEY Quality Street is described as A sentimental comedy of proper, genteel ladies, gossipy neigh- bors, and love. Certainly all that and a great deal more came from the pen of Sir James M. Barrie when he wrote this romantic little opus. Here is the make-believe Barrie at his best (or worst) light, airy-nothingness, escaping from the stark realism of the piercing Ibsen who had suddenly penetrated 1902 London society. Barry was representative of and a leader in the reaction to Ibsen and his social-problem plays. Quality Street was a well chos en offering by the Dramatic Club. The third play of the year, it was a combination of period costume and light, romantic comedy served up as the salad course of the dramatic ea- son. One person attributed its im- mense success to the fact that the play was psychologically suited to the after-finals temperament of the in- dent it was an escape from reality. There may be something in that. At any rate, Quality Street found plenty of favor in the eyes of the pla - going student. At every performance, well-filled houses cheered and curtain-called the all-stiulent cast. Everyone, including the stage crew, had a perfectly swell time and went home happy and contented. Most of them agreed that here a undoubtedly the best play of the year. Thi opinion was borne out by the Kansan ' s Chris- topher Vanderveer, critic ordinary. Now, Quality Street was not the best play to see the boards of Freser Theatre so far this season.

The Kansans worked all the way to the top where they finally fell before the powerful In- diana University five, champions of the East, spite of this, Kansas was the best team in Missouri Valley and the entire West. Doctor Allen said, on many occasions, there have been better Kansas teams. H- rv plained that by this he meant there have ln-m teams in the past with more coordination, more polish and more ability.

No one who saw the Kansans beat the mighty Trojans of University of Southern California for the Western championship will ever forget the experience. The men from California were big- ger, heavier, older, more experienced and more polished, but they couldn ' t beat the Jayhawkers because the Jayhawkers wouldn ' t be beat. Phog summed the whole thing up a few seconds after the U. S. C. game when he told the radio audience that they ' re the fightingest, most couragous bunch of boys who ever played on a Kansas basketball team. No one disagreed with him, least of all those who saw the game. They had seen the Kansans battle against almost overwhelming odds. They were battered and laced until late in the final period they trailed J2-30. But they never stopped playing, and shortly before the final gun went off, How ard Engleman took deliberate aim at the Trojan basket. U. S. C. went back to California minus the title. The season was a long one. Kansas opened against Oklahoma A and M on December 5 and played its last game against Indiana on March 30. During those three months, headlines proclaimed Kansas as the winner 19 times and six times tolled defeat. Kansas lost to some good teams and to some mediocre ones. In spite of the fact that both Warrensburg Teachers and Creighton are listed among the schools to set the Jayhawkers back, the Kansans have nothing of which to be ashamed. They were a clutch bunch from start to finish. When the chips were down, Kan- sas couldn ' t be beat. The Jayhawkers won ten and lost two during the early half of the season. Teams that fell be- fore the Allenmen ' s attack were: Oklahoma A and M, Southern Methodist (twice), Baker, New ||ll! tfEXT YEAR, DOCTOR ALLEN?

Warrensburg Teachers and Missouri managed to come out ahead at the end of their contests. Accounts of these early games are to be found in the mid-winter issue of the Jayhmcker. The Kansans opened the second half of the season by downing Iowa State 36-34 in Hoch Auditorium. Coach Menze ' s Cyclones put up a brilliant fight, but fell late in the contest before the cool Kansas attack. The Cowboys of Oklahoma A and M took revenge for an early season drubbing received in Lawrence by nosing the local boys 24-22 at Still- water in a thriller which still has the natives down South talking. The game featured the iron- tight defense both teams were famous for this year, but the Cowboys had one more bucket uj their sleeves than did K. U. and that spellt defeat. Kansas then settled down to a hard uphill tit drive which carried it past Kansas State (44-33) at Manhattan; Nebraska (48-41) at Lincoln anr Iowa State (42-29) at Ames. Ralph Miller ' s he basket eye carried K. U. through the gruclii road trip. JOHN KLINE . The setting for the final tussle with Missouri ' s potent Tigers was a natural. K. U. went into the game seven victories against one loss and Mis- souri was sailing along with eight and one. A capacity audience saw the Jayhawkers snatch victory in the last minutes of play and go away the winners 42-40. The win gave Doctor Allen his fourteenth title in nineteen years at Kansas. Kansas went to Oklahoma with a chance for a clean claim to the Big Six crown, hut fell before Jimmy McNatt ' s scat tactics 36-47 and the con- ference race ended in a three way tie with Kan- sas, Oklahoma and Missouri at the top of the heap. The three champions met at Wichita for a playoff series to determine which team should have the right to represent the fifth district in the N. C. A. A. western championships. Kansas drew a bye on the first night as Oklahoma blasted its way past Missouri. Victory came to Kansas the next night when the Sooners were bested 45-39 in a riproaring battle which made the Wichita fans forget all the basketball they had seen up to that point. Heralded as the game of the year, Kansas and Oklahoma A and M met in Oklahoma City for the fifth division N. C. A. A. title. Co-captain Dick Harp led K. U. to a thrilling 45-43 victory over the Cowboys in an extra period contest. Kansas was now ready for the best in the west. (Continued on Page 323) That ' s N. C. A. A.

So now he is not only a Summerfield, et al, and studying more than ever, but also a writer for the Kansas Engineer, vice-president of the Men ' s Student Council, and member of Sachem. And, finding that this does not absorb all of his former loafing time, he fills in the rest with general reading, including Time magazine, books by modern psychoanalysts, and classical En- glish literature. For a permanent occupation Brewster would pre- fer personnel management. He believes that engineers, in their intense concentration on inanimate and pas- sive materials, too often forget the dynamic human factors in society and industry. After graduation he ' s going to start in on his life work as a student in General Electric ' s training course for picked college engineering graduates. Bob Hedges. BREWSTER POWERS BOB HEDGES This is something new for Bob Hedges. Ordinarily he is on the asking end of these interviews, but since he is a Campus Personality in his own right we put the finger on him for a change. The first thing we found out was that he likes to argue and will take either side of the question just for the fun of it. This perverse streak, he says, is either the cause or result of his (varsity) debating can ' t decide which. Once he wanted to be a psychiatrist but when he found out that it required twelve years ' preparation he decided on business. Now he ' s a finance major and hopes to get into personnel management. Bob came from Wichita in 1936, a Summerfield scholar. Since then he has been secretary of the Pachacamacs and the Panhellenic Council, debate team member, treasurer of the Owl Society, and prac- tically everything in the Sig Ep house. He is enthusi- astic about bridge and badminton but goes in for music whole hog. Played the French horn in the University Band for three years and occasionally works out on the piano. In books, as in music, Bob likes impressionism. With this he likes to mix a little Ogden Nash and Arthur Guiterman; a detective story too, now and then. Tries to do some traveling every summer, and now he wants to learn to fly so that he can start traveling in earnest. Kenneth R. Lewis.

J 4kJ Wallace Dooley A student whose ambitions have risen above his own personal desires is Wallace Dooley, colored stu- dent, who has determined to become a doctor in order to help his people. Thinks that colored doctors are far below par, and don ' t keep up as they should. There aren ' t enough of them that put the money they earn back into their business, he says. He graduated from Sumner high school in Kansas City in 1935 with a straight A average for three cars. First wanted to be an engineer, and entered the University the next fall on a P. T. A. and Kappa Alpha Psi scholarship. But Wallace got sidetracked in zoology where he found the study of the human body so fascinating that he determined to become a doctor. His A. B. in zoology will be completed this spring. ants to finish at the Meharry Medical School in Nashville, where he believes he can gain by associa- tions with his people. Dooley, whose personality and natural ability have ma io him a leader among colored students at K. U.. works six hours a day on an NYA job and as a waiter at a fraternity house to pay all his expenses. Two years ago he ran for college representative on the M. S. C. Believes that the colored student should be allowed in intramural competition and social func- tions to the extent of other students. Doesn ' t believe in forcing association between two races, but thinks that the negro should conduct him- self in such a way as to deserve normal relations between the two. Maurice Jackson. Leo Henriohs To be on the Men ' s Student Council, on the Busi- ness School Council, and in the P. S. G. L. Senate ought to be enough. But not for Leo Henrichs. He is a member of Alpha Kappa Psi (professional business fraternity), a freshman counsellor, and is on the Union Operating Committee to draw up tentative plans for remodeling the Union Building basement. An accounting major, he has seen his name on the Dean ' s Honor Roll consecutively. And last year he received the American Banker ' s Association loan scholarship which is awarded to one junior every year. Through it all he has been self-supporting, having worked for one and a half years as manager of the men ' s recreation room in the Union Building. For actual relaxation he reads Stuart Chase! Well, with a little basketball, pingpong and pool thrown in for odd moments. He doesn ' t drink or smoke and doesn ' t go with women who do or with those who don ' t! He says he doesn ' t like women much anyway. But his good- natured friendliness and interest in people belie that statement. Leo wants to do graduate work in the near future; in the distant future he wants to be a C. P. A. But for all time he wants to live in a college town, if he can. Rosemary Casper.

Prof. Sandelius has just returned from a six-month sabbatical leave, part of which was spent in Europe and the rest in research work at Columbia University.

Dr. Edwin Price The friendly smile and genuine cordiality of Dr. Edwin F. Price, Dean of the Kansas School of Religion and minister to students of the Wesley Foundation at K.

Born in Wellington, Kansas, he did one year of his undergraduate work at Friends U. and three years of it here, where he was a Phi Beta Kappa and a member of Delta Sigma Rho, honorary forensic fra- ternity. Graduate work was done at Northwestern and at the Garrett Theological Seminary. Dr. and Mrs. Price, with their three children, like to summer at Lake Miltona in Minnesota. One of the biggest joys of the place is not having a phone to ring during meals. An amateur volleyball player, Dr. Price ' s pet peeve is teas.

With these three words as the keynote to the entire set-up, the intramural system of the physi- cal education department here on the Hill has grown from a war-baby to an adult of college and voting age. Back in 1919 and 1920 when the American soldiers of college age were returning to these shores, a demand arose by these new college stu- dents for some means of continuing the athletic training which had been conducted on a large scale in the camps prior to the actual participa- tion in the war and also during furlough periods. Educators here at the university granted these dough-boys fifteen hours of credit in the physi- cal education department as compensation for their war athletic training and authorized Dr. Forrest C. (Phog) Allen to organize an intra- mural system in his department of physical edu- cation. Allen jumped into this task with his usual vigor and with the words, Organize, Deputize, and Supervise, to guide him, he formed an in- tramural system. Allen was in active charge until 1922 when he appointed G. B. Patrick as supervisor of this newly created department. Patrick, a graduate of the Chicago Y. M. C. A., i by CHUCK ELLIOTT was taking pre-medic work at the time and then working in cooperation with Dr. Allen, gether they pioneered in developing athletic co petition for underclassmen who were not on ;ir- sity squads. The first sports which were introduced in- cluded handball, volleyball, tennis, golf, ba.-kft- ball, and hard baseball. Football appeared to be too strenuous a game. During this time the golf course north of the administration building M; constructed from the remnants of an old faculty golf course. Another golf course on the south edge of Mount Oread was completed at this time but two courses proved to be too big an under- taking and the latter course was allowed to dete orate due to insufficient funds. In 1926, when Patrick left to attend Kn-li Medical College, John P. Sabo, former halfback and forward at the University of Illinois and now head coach at the University of Vermont. was hired as assistant football coach to Potsy Clark and also became intramural advisor. !! remained until 1928 when Dr. E. R. Elbel. former athletic director, football, and basketball coach at Ottawa University, came to the university to (Continued on Page 323) ] R I L 1940 IN THE year 1919 the students were having a bit of trouble with University authorities, members of the faculty, and rules they were try- ing to enforce. In an editorial, Speak Right Up, Profs the Sour Owl staff advised the members of the Senate to be brave and stick up for their convictions no matter what they were. A num- ber of the members of the University Senate seem to be afraid to express their opinions for fear it will not conform to that of the Chancellor. As the highlight of that issue the Owl proudly presented a double-page lay-out devoted to the Senatorial Political Ring a Rogue ' s Gallery of Professors Sketched from Life. Rogue No. 000001 was one of the members of our history department. Length of sentence was until we get the rope. Under the sketch was the bleak description the leading Campus pest. Where is that pungent criticism of ugly teaching methods which was so active in yesteryears? Hill women escaped a fate worse than death in 1934 when a resolution was sent by the Uni- versity Health Committee to the Board of Ad- ministration which would have required the women to wear good, common sense uniforms in place of the ultra fashionable costumes seen on the Hill. Luckily the Administration put its fingers to the pulse of the women students instead of the Committee. When the call of the road lures the Uni- versity man, he may find himself sauntering over to visit his beloved in the next block or hitch-hiking home with a suitcase and a K. U. sticker. But his vagabond predecessors of not so long ago would have joined the University Bummer ' s Club. In October of 1920 a select group of University men met to consider the high cost of transportation to football games. In five minutes the University found itself with another club on its hands. The Columbia game beckoned and riding the rods held its fascination. Through the facilities of the organization, its members intended to be at all football games in either the quick or dead condition. Evidence of their friendly regard for the train crews was embodied in their magnanimous slogan, safer Marginal by AGNES MUMERT 277 and saner for train crews. They disdained any connection with the Harvesters whose avowed purpose was to Treat ' Em Rough. Arrangements had been made to accommo- date from 200 to 300 men in the side door pullman specials. O n the day before the game an east - bound freight train rumbled towards Columbia with its box cars black with men. Perched crow-like atop the swaying cars, the stu- dents eluded railway detectives. In Kansas City disgruntled officials enlisted the aid of the police department. Victory for the students was complete and glorious. But to emphasize their irritation and in retalia- tion, they broke into a fruit car. While they were in the midst of devouring apples and other delectable fruit, the train pulled out and left more than one hundred of them behind. It ar- rived in Columbia three hours before the game allowing the ring leaders time to make elab- orate and successful plans for getting the re- maining hundred or so into the game free. Strangely, Missouri authorities protested. (Continued on Page 325) + . 1 THE J A Y H A W K K H foil . . .

Ability to make clever costumes came in handy the nights that fraternities gave (almost) original parties. One of the first of these costume parties was the Pi. K. A.

At noon on the day of the event a small newspaper containing gossip about Twelfth Street and the people that were to attend the party was delivered to each invited guest. The fraternity room at the chapter was decorated like an old-fashioned bar. The tacky-clothed fellows and the heavy rouged, short-skirted girls sat down at tables lighted by candles in beer bottles.

On February 10, the Phi Gams had their forty - first annual Pig Dinner at the chapter house.

March 1 the lawyers of Phi Delta Phi and Phi Alpha Delta gave an informal dance at the Law- rence Country Club.

The Phi Delts decided to do it up right this year by giving an informal tea dance at the chapter house before the din- ner and formal dance at the Union. At the Union the couples passed through room- high Chinese red gates on which were painted character writings. The Confucius scheme was carried out further by the huge Buddha which formed a background for the orchestra. His green eyes blinked on and off during the evening. Chinese dragons, temple dancers and cherry blos- soms lent more Oriental atmosphere. Favors were lockets with Phi Delt crests. . . . The Delta Chis swang out the same night with a Comic Costume party to the tune of Clyde Smith ' s orchestra. Li ' l Abner and Daisy Mae were the most popular couple imitated. The Bumstead family was represented particularly by John Gowans as Dagwood who carried a six decker sandwich around all evening. A Bat Man in flowing robes and a Hairless Joe added their clever antics to the party. . . . The Beta Dorg Party on March 8 was adver- tised by Buddy, the Beta police dog who carried the invitations around to all the sorority houses. It was a semi-formal dinner dance. Upon enter- ing the Beta Lodge a spot light was thrown on each couple who then had to kiss before they could go any further into the sacred precincts. The favors were stuffed blue and red dachshunds who trailed the owners throughout the evening. The climax in social affairs of the year was reached Saturday night at the Junior Prom. All the splendor and dignity of the University popu- lace garnished this occasion. Jimmy Dorsey ' s much publicized orchestra played. Helen O ' Con- nell and Bob Eberly were the singers. During the Prom Jimmy Dorsey played an original com- position of Joe McAnarney, ed ' 41. . . . March 15 marked the passing of another an- nual Men ' s Panhellenic Ball.

(Continued on Page 325) The Iprowth of Student Political Responsibility Has Been Slow and Jerky. But ronsultatlon of M.S. r. Opinions Has Became Typical of K.U. cal parties. One of these organi- zations, the Society of Pacha camac, is still a participant in student elections this year he- ing its twenty-eighth. Previous to the establishment of partir . candidates had attained places on the ticket by submitting pet tions by twenty-five students. Parties gave men ' s govern- ment a permanent basis from which to grow. The spirit of in- Kansas as a state has an infamous name. Born ter-party rivalry caused the groups actively to seek student support, a procedure which evolved into today ' s full-steam campaigns. While self-gov- ernment was strengthened by the introduction of a party system, this was about the greatest attain- ment of the pre-war years. For after the U. S. decided to help Europe save democracy, the men of K. U. enlisted in the cause and for a run pi. of years had no time to save student democrat-). of the period that saw lawlessness rife in the Middle West, particularly in the border states and states-to-be, Kansas was the scene of bloody struggles in the establishment of its territorial and state governments. Since Quantrill, the Sun- Bower state has suffered Dodge City and its era of cowboy desperados, drought, dust storms and the campaign of Alf M. Landon. To its otherwise ill-reputed aspects, the Uni- versity of Kansas offers an encouraging excep- tion. Whereas Kansas politically, climatically and socially has a spotted history, the University itself has been notably progressive. Not the least of these progressive phases has been K. U. ' s student government. Men ' s student self - government came to the Campus in 1909. The event created less interest on Mt. Oread than over the state. Although the first few elections were quiet in contrast to the present-day loudly- ballyhooed campaigns, the press of the state produced considerable noise over the formation of a Men ' s Stu- dent Council. Some of the most vio- lent newspaper attacks were based on predictions that the new student legislature would bring anarchy to the Hill. Gloomy consequences were forecast, a popular potential result being the forced resignation of the University staff. Through the storm, students learned to like their politics. Inter- --t grew rapidly in the first three yar-. culminating in 1912 in the formation ,f il )( - f ir { camii- politi- Chancellors have played important and usu- ally helpful roles in the history of men ' s student Drawing fcy Andy Darling APRIL 1940 government at K. U. Chancellor Frank Strong was one of the biggest boosters from the start and it was his friendly encouragement that carried the movement through its first decade. When Chancellor Strong resigned in 1920, his successor came to Mt. Oread and new life came to the Men ' s Student Council. In general, the record of Chancellor Ernest Hiram Lindley has been well-expounded. The continued expansion of the University and its notable improvements under him are familiar stories. But Chancellor Lindley ' s contributions to student self-government have not been fully presented. It was Lindley ' s conception that stu- dents should have all the government they were able to administer. He stated that belief pub- licly several times and followed it through his 19 years at K. U. As a result, the Men ' s Student Council constantly was given an increasing scope of activity and, evidencing added ability with each added function, followed a trail of steady progress through the 1920 ' s. One of the earliest accomplishments of this new era was the student support of the drives to erect the Memorial Union building and Memorial stadium. In 1925, the M. S. C. marked its thir- teenth year by a notable achievement. With the cooperation of University officials, the Council changed its constitution to place administration of many disciplinary matters in student hands. From this start, and through the encouragement and guiding of Chancellor Lindley, the Student 281 Court was developed. Also an early phase in the expansion of self-government was the creating of auditing committees of the Council which has jurisdiction over such student affairs as varsity dances and over most student organizations. During this period the party system was be- coming firmly entrenched. Pachacamac existed for almost 10 years as a secret organization, back- ing certain candidates in undercover campaign- ing. Old-timers have recalled that in the years before American youth went on its sight-seeing trip to death-ridden Europe Pachacamac was the most powerful student organization on the Hill. Swelled by the backing of virtually all Hill fra- ternities, the Rising Sun machine swept through the elections, controlled most of the elective offices and dictated appointments to student posi- tions. About the time Chancellor Lindley arrived on the University scene, the parties became open coalitions the exact time of this development being unrecorded. Throughout the turbulent twenties, Pachacamac was opposed by the Black Mask party, a group which had lots of spirit but little success. While party sponsorship of elec- tion slates became an open procedure, member- ship in the political groups particularly in Pachacamac was secret. But the mysterious membership failed to forestall numerous charges and countercharges of illegality, fraud, mud- slinging and dirty politics. In the early years, individual candidates had Third Row: Sam Sifers, Moyne Lichlyter, Dave Whitney, Art Black, Bob Moore, Bob Wilkins, Jim Postma. Second Row: Oliver Edwards, Rowland Raup, Leo Henrichs, Bill Douce, John Oakson, Bruce Voran, Bob White. First Row: Emmet Park, Irving Kuraner, C. H. Mullen, Brewster Powers, John Weatherwax, Russell Mosser. protested the legality of elections and the quali- fications of rival office-seekers. But as 1920 de- parted this typical American political function was taken up by the parties. In 1926. for in- stance, before the fall class elections, the Univer- sity ' s manhood was so divided that the election was postponed because the campaign was inter- fering with a K. 1 1. -Kansas State football game. The political strife was causing hard feelings among the football squad and at the request of Coach Frank Cappon. all athlete-candidates with- drew. In 1929, a member of the Law school ' s election board was punished for dishonesty in counting votes. Typical of the last 20 years has been the fre- quent appearance and disbanding of parties op- posing Pachacamac. After 1930, the second party was the Oread group. In 1931, a group of inde- pendent men formed the Kayhawk club and im- mediately entered politics. The first year brought victory over Pachacamac. By combining, the two groups gained a majority in the M. S. C. and elected their presidential candidate. But 1932, ' 33. and ' 34 saw the Rising Sun machine sweep to decisive victories, a three-year reign that caused the withdrawal of the Oread-Kayhawks from the political field. Then, in 1935, a few members of the old Oread-Kayhawk coalition united to establish the Progressive Student Gov- ernment League. JL That, according to Pretident C. H. Mullen, are the things accomplished by the 1939-1940 Men ' s Student Council: Abolition of class danre managers. Passage of bill to prohibit smoking in buildings which are fire harardf. and to limit smoking elsewhere for public relations purposes.

Mullen won the presidential office and thereby gave his party a one-vote margin oxer Pachacamac. Men ' s student government is completing no its first year under a new chancellor. Deane W. Malott has been called everything from A to . particularly in regard to student government. There has been no definite indication of his oppo- sition to it. Similarly, there has been no proof that he will encourage student government. A polite suggestion, if one is in order, would ! that Chancellor Lindley ' s policy is not out-mod ed. Students still should have all the governmental powers they can capably administrate. And their ability to carry out the functions isn ' t on the down-grade. - J o- ' Independence, With a Vengeance by REGINALD BUXTON HENRY THOREAU, the New England hermit, minus his Walden and his penchant for soli- tude, would have made a typical independent student. Such an imagined youthful Thoreau could still have written his Civil Disobedience; he could still have gloated over his independence of the world. But deep in this independent Henry ' s heart would have been not a little rancor over the disturbing fact that everyone was likewise independent of him. No, this Henry woudn ' t have liked that a bit. And neither does the independent male student, who hasn ' t Henry ' s love of solitude nor his pond to li-h in. This business of being an independent student has a Janus-faced aspect. It isn ' t necessary to play intra-mural ping-pong to perpetuate the glory of a group, when you would rather be reading your favorite author or comic strip. The independent can sit in his nice comfy University approved room, which has all the modern conveniences of his mother ' s chicken . and thumb his nose at anv demands made upon him. If he pays the landlady regular!) won ' t bother him more than five or six time-. daily. So far so good. It all sums up to the fact that the virtue of being an independent is hem-i independent. The catch, as already hinted, lies in the fact that everyone and everything is independent of the independent. Let him become tired and dis- couraged to the point where he is ready to chuck it all for the friends at home and no one fines a continental. He hasn ' t a pin in common with anyone so why should anyone bother about li-l ing him? The University authorities care little abou him as an individual. If they do they arc t shy to show it. Anyway it is far easier to ;:iv another youngster a publicity song and daucr ;m get him to make up the lost incidental fee. soon as this one plays out another chump il have been graduated from high school and ready to go to the State U. And so on ad infmitiim. There ' s one born every minute. Suppose the independent does stick through those first semesters of hellish loneliness. The entire University is the independent ' s group. It ' s a large pond for the poor fish compared to that of the fraternity cousin who can gain recog- nition among the brothers for practically every- thing from dating a super-popular girl to making his grades. If the independent is to receive a slap on the back instead of in the face he has to get out and hustle. If he makes good and -t his picture in the Jayhawker without paying for it he has only himself to thank not an alumim- or the boys at the house. And since the independent floats around with about 4,999 other students about whom he ha little chance to learn, the problem of finding am associates with mutual interests is a difficult one. It ' s something like weeding out a young radish bed. Often the ones you save have rotten rooK The YMCA, if the independent is that gregari (Continued on Page 318) We Didn ' t Knoiv that Uuxton and Hedge Would Chontte the Same Point to Siren . Their Word Strengthen an Old Adage: Friendship f the Biggest Thing in College APRIL 1940 285 Lo, the Happy Fraternity Man by BOB HEDGES THE house was a big one of dark red brick and it had tall pillars in front and a huge carved stone crest over the doorway. Inside they had deep Oriental rugs on the floor, and there was one of those new combination radio-auto- matic phonographs. The long mantelpieces were crowded with silver cups. Everything sort of re- minded me of the country club at home, and I asked Chuck if that was what a fraternity was like. But he just laughed and said, Not much! I met a lot of the fellows then, and when the dinner gong rang we all poured into the dining room. I sat next to the housemother I liked her a lot. The boys kidded her and kidded each other and laughed and sang most of the time. After dinner everybody sort of drifted to the living room for a little while to talk and listen to the phonograph. Finally most of them went upstairs to study, but Chuck convinced him- self and a couple of the others that they deserved a vacation, so we all went to the show. . . . When we got back we were just in time to pile into some cars and go on a serenade. It was a lot of fun at first, but awfully tiring before we got through. I wondered I asked Chuck if fraternity life was pretty much doing things like that, but he told me, Lord, no! None of us would ever get through school if it were. And anyway, it would get pretty dull before long, don ' t you think? Well, I did. . . . The next morning I slept late while the boys went to classes. Fin- ally, in the afternoon, I went down to watch the ball game the boys were playing. I really don ' t remember whether they won or lost, but they sure had plenty of dates and excite- ment, and shouted and kidded each other all the time, just like the gang at home when they play ball for the fun of it. I thought a lot about that, then, and it sort of puzzled me to figure out why these fellows here were a fratern- ity instead of just a bunch of guys playing ball. At dinner that night the boys were more hilari- ous than before, because it was Friday. They all rushed upstairs right after dinner, and I could hear them running up and down the halls yelling things like, Hey Bill, lend me a buck! Who ' s got a tux, size 36? And Who wants to go to a cheap show? C ' mon, let ' s get started. Or Get your date and I ' ll see you at Brick ' s at 8:30. Gradually they began to go out, each one saying good-night to the housemother on the way, and everything quieted down to a card game in the sun room, which I joined. . . . By the time the boys began to get back from their dates the game had broken up in favor of a bu ll-fest. There were about half a dozen of us sitting around while others came and went, each telling us what he had done that night, or getting into an argument, or adding a story or joke to our collection. They ' d all laugh and kid around for awhile, and then they would get serious about something, and excited. Then always someone would break it up with a good crack or terrible pun, and we ' d be back at laughing again. Time shot past like it always does with a bunch of fellows, and the meeting began to break up. Chuck and I and Stew his roommate went down to his room. Well, Bob, how do you like fraternity life by now? Stew asked me.

At least that is what some forty men who are now enjoy- ing the privileges of such life will tell you. They have combined, voluntarily or for necessity ' s sake, the advantages of the boarding house and the advantages of the fraternity into this middle course. From the boarding house the main advantage combined into the semi-organized plan was that of moderate-priced living. Buffeted by competi- tion, boarding houses have developed costs that are within the reach of the average pocketbook. One reason they have been able to do this is because they do not pay for the quaint right of using an undomestic name for themselves. Neither do they contribute to the support of a national superstructure of officers whose func- tions are sometimes vague. On the other hand, fraternity life has cer- tain unalienable attri- butes. One of these is certainly the voice that every fraternity man has in the choice of those who are to live with him. Another en- viable characteristic of any organized life is that of doing things with others. In fact this latter property has re- sulted in a communa- lization which is a prime requisite of the stuff called college life. This middle-of-the- road plan of living has attracted men with one big thing in common breadth o f interest. Semi-organized houses have members who are political scientists, musicians, medics, laws, jour- nalists, engineers and just plain college students. The interests of such a group naturally cover a wide field, and in so doing they successfully defy anyone to limit himself entirely to his own field. So there we have it a mongrel if you like. (We don ' t mind.) The two prevailing manners of living on the Hill have been mixed to form a new product with distinctive properties of its own. However, the mixing of two designs does not alone prescribe a superior result. Proof is rather to be found in a grade point average which hovers in the vicinity of 2.5. Again, the examples of their work in musical, journalistic, dramatic, and oratorical spheres show that they do not confine their efforts to books alone. Consistently high membership in Owl Society and Sachem is the University ' s acknowledgment of the service that they have rendered her. How is all this accomplished? The mechanics of the plan are relatively simple. A house mother (Continued on Page 325) J ' . ' l THE J A Y H A K K It ,111 ' MI; .11 1 n urn cm ACTIVES J amrs Boll Bagnio, P. I.

Well-Organized... by BOB McKAY I I M OUT WHILE THE STUDENT PRESIDENT TELLS US WHAT OUR BUSINESS SCHOOL CAN BOAST OF THE SCHOOL of Business at the University of Kansas has not a long history. At the forma- tion of the school some fifteen years ago Dean Frank T. Stockton took charge of the develop- ment of a progressive program for the school. In that time he has proved himself an able ad- ministrator, for he has fostered the growth of a school that is noticeably different in organization from that of any other business school in the surrounding territory. There is today probably no state supported school of business that outranks that at the Uni- versity of Kansas. Its graduates compete favor- ably with graduates of the richly endowed uni- versities. This preeminence has been achieved and maintained as a result of the successful co- ordination of three principal factors. The first of these is a policy of progressive administration that has allowed this two - year school to grow to an enrollment of over three hundred students. The increase in the student body has made necessary an expanded teaching staff. And this is the second factor in building a successful school namely, an outstanding fac- ulty. The youth and the awareness of changing THE JAYHAWKER conditions in the business world, that are characteristic of this faculty body, make it particu- larly successful in the presenta- tion of business subjects. In ad- dition this group includes se - eral distinctive pe rsonaliti. who are nationally known ex- perts in their fields. These mm have accepted the modern methods o f business - school teaching, that is, along with a given course of study they in- struct their students in the broad underlying principle- which are always applicable. This progressive technique fur- nishes the student with a back- ground of structural knowledge that will allow adaptation to the particular circumstances with which he later finds himself concerned. The third factor of develop- ment which has contributed greatly to the success of the school, and without which the other two would mean very little, is the organization of a Placement Bureau. Its suc- cess has been significant. By June of each year almost one-half of all the current graduates are located for the next year. By September first, more than 75 per cent are placed, and by Decem- ber first almost every student who is actually in the market for employment finds such made available to him. This rapid, yet stable, development might well be a source of considerable pride to Dean Stork- ton. But ahead of the smooth-functioning organi- zation he has built up the Dean would every time prefer to speak of such an interesting sidelight as the actual accomplishments of the student:- who are in the School of Business. Each year they probably maintain a higher level of activities than any other school in the University and cer- tainly far above their proportionate share. This year, for instance, over one-third of tin- men who played varsity football were lni-iin- students, and the basketball squad contained about a similar proportion. But the athletic activity here displayed so prominently lias not (Continued on Page 325) L ' l J II, APRIL 1940 309 ACTIVES Milton Allen Salina Hu tli Bruner Lawrence Ray Buzzell Topeka Eldreth Cadwalader ....

THE J A Y H A H. 1 li .III 1 . . . from the CITY CAMPUS JIM si ssl . OX I! REMOVED. WHITES US HIS PERSONAL IMPRESSIONS OF THE MEDICAL SCHOOL Dear Jim: Well. I hope you are comfortably settled in old K. C. for a eouple of years, after your four and a half on the slow-going Lawrence campus! And I ' m not just inquiring ahout your health for nothing heavens, no. I ' m wondering if you could take time off from cutting people up, and write the Medical School article for the Spring Jayhawker? Don ' t he formal about it just give us your personal impressions of goings-on. I ' ll be looking forward to your reply. Yours, Richard. Dear Richard : Here I am on the Kansas City edge of Mount Oread, and believe me if the buildings we have here were moved into Lawrence, it would take a lot of WPA workers a long time to enlarge the Hill enough to accommodate them. Down here we tell out-state people we are at the K. U. Hospitals; and to the local people we are at Bell Memorial (which is just one unit of the place ) ; but to us it ' s just the hospital. It seemed like home from the first day I walked down the long quiet corridors, because K. U. peo- ple started popping up right away. Of course I was prepared to see the medics hanging around, but I was surprised to see the class of ' 38 repre- sented by Rose McVey, who asserts she is private secretary, receptionist, and flunky for the super- intendent. In front of the business office (yes, there ' s one here too and they relieve you of your money even faster because the line is shorter), who should walk up but Betty Barnes and Charlotte Stafford, roommates and student technicians here. By the end of the day I was convinced that a big chunk of K. U. moves up here every year. School is still school, and classes are more or less compulsory (unless the poor beaten medic can bluff his way into the student infirmary which incidentally is just across the corridor from the same place for the nurses h ' liim). but a different attitude prevails, class-cutting still goes on, but with a new angle. The sophomores ml their lunch hour to go to the senior clinic to watch cases being presented! . . . Oh. we cu this course and that and feel very sorry for our- selves on the exam days, but the average day of the medic isn ' t so bad. For your lay mind, Richard, I think I ' ll just outline that day. He the medic start- to school at 8:00 and bangs through a couple of lectures, after which, till noon, he ' ll probal l lie found in a clinic of some sort where he gets to look at, question, and examine patients first-hand under the scrutinizing eye of a friendly, but nom-- the-less strict M. D. At noon some senior presents a patient, ex- plains his case, and makes a diagnosis, and tin- juniors do likewise in another building. 1 :30 lectures are slept through, unfortunately, with the same regularity that establishes the practice as a tradition on the Hill. Until 5:00 various labs and clinics keep one awake and interested. One afternoon a week the juniors review their pathology with a session in which the various internal parts of a diseased body are studied. Tin- session is popularly known as an organ recital. We pick up our glamour by strolling through the corridors past the laiety with a knowing look on our faces and an identifying stethoscope. Where one wears this last piece of equipment (so it ' s said) identifies the class to which he be- longs. A sophomore wears his around his neck, a junior carries it in his pocket, and a x-uior doesn ' t carry his at all. I wish you ' d come over and let me show oii through the place. Every man over here is in- tensely proud of it, and we like nothing better than to show it off to someone who doesn ' t real- ize a lot of K. U. is in Kansas City. We like to think of you happy college guys and gals a? fellow students, and we like to have you collider us the same. Yours, Jim. Dr.) Dr.): Dr.l Dr.P Dr. R Dr.R Dr.Ji Dr.L Dr.F Dr.E Dr.R Dr.J.

Come in Browse around visit our sports department. MEN Tuck those iceboots in the moth- balls, ' cause Spring has came, and clothes now become more im- portant than at any other season. Suppose we glance at some of the fancy accouterments ambitious males have been eyeing lately and some that are to come. Combinations are loud this year but not rakish. Ideal contrasts may be obtained by wearing green with brown, tan, light gray and white; or blue-light brown, blue- white, blue-gray, and blue-beige combinations may strike your fancy. Suggestions for blends are: brown and tan or very light brown ; brown and white; aqua-green and tan; sunset-green and pastel-green; deep blue and turquoise; squirrel- brown and beige; and oxford-gray and light olive. Care should be taken that coats and slacks are either (1) alike but distinguish- ably of different shades; or (2) contrasting enough to be strikingly different in color without being of unharmonious color-contrasts. In this pursuit it is helpful to know the spring materials, which must also blend or contrast just as the color s do. With slacks of summer covert, gabardine, flannel, or worsteds, coats such as the camel ' s hair, shet- land, covert, gabardine, or flannel should be worn if, in default of a Robert Taylor face, you would attract the leap-year lassies. Other iiue- THE J A Y H A W K I It nifty materials are Palm Beat-lie . tweeds, herringbones, and the sen- sational new plaids (which are coming hack, and should be worn with the heavier summer mate- rials.) Fashion dictates have deer that the leap-year man be well- dressed in order to keep our women satisfied. And the women are getting their money ' s worth! New coats feature broader slm ders, longer drapes, lower et pock- ets, a little less chest room, hut with the same effect, and lower set collars with peak lapels. Ticket pockets may be obtained if desired. Ober ' s offer some spring specials you ' ll like, and if you like tapered sleeeves, they ' ll show you tlio e. too. In Kansas City Woolf Broth- ers is the place for variety in tlic-c 20th Century-Greek models. If you ' d keep pace with 19-ln ' collegians you ' ll insist on tapered slacks, which haven ' t changed so much except in that one respect. But the colors are classier, and fea- ture much livelier designs. Sub- dued herringbones, vertical stripe . and a few plaids will supplement the increased number of plain pat- terns in loud colors you ' ll see in coke hangouts henceforth. Now a word about sox. liirt . ties, and shoes. The best spectator sports styles for ball games, track meets, and general absorption of balmy atmosphere feature, in sox, ties, and kerchiefs, plain color in fancy weaves. Colors in neckwear should blend with sox colors, con- trast with suit, shirt, and kerchief colors. Whenever all three an-e- sories can match and not clash with the shirt, so much the belter. Ober ' s line in these is plenty good. And they and Woolf Brother can display the latest and finest in shoe styles and bargains, too. Favorite spring shoe might he tin- rough wing - tip, profusely - perfor- ated, chestnut-brown brogues, with sporty thick soles. Or the toka - colored cap toe model, a favorite with many, might command com- pliments from the weaker sex.

Other rubber - soled knockabouts (incidentally the best bet for steak fries or picnics) dis- play artistic perforation designs, heavy laces and large eyes, and feature most the moccasin toe.

(Continued from Page 285) Well, I just couldn ' t be sure, I told him. I had certainly had a lot of fun, but I couldn ' t tell how much of it was the fraternity life and how much was something else. It all boiled down to the fact that I really didn ' t know what fratern- ity life was. Why, said Stew, weren ' t you on the serenade last night? And at the ball game today, and dinner, and in that bull-fest in Dan ' s room? Sure I was, but the independ- ents down where I was staying be- fore I met Chuck did most of those things, and the ones they didn ' t do don ' t seem very important. Chuck looked at me for a min- ute like he was thinking hard, and then he said, You ' re getting the right idea, Bob. It ' s not the things that we do, nor even the way that we do them, that makes us a fra- ternity. No, it ' s the fact that here in the fraternity house it is always the same bunch of boys who do things together. A fraternity man doesn ' t room with one crowd, eat with another, or play baseball and study with still a third and fourth. In the fraternity we really live to- gether. Now that means two things. First, we know one another. I know what each man can and is willing to do; what kinds of things he likes; what his hopes and ambitions are, and his fears and peeves. And, out of this knowing each other so well develops a friendship that is solid clear through. If I get n- In -i i I get into trouble, the fraternity will stand by me. If I ' m broke, one of the boys will stake me (provided he isn ' t broke too, of course) . Or, if I feel down in the dumps, the brothers not only sympathize but, better yet, kid me out of it. If I need advice or knowl- edge that one of them can give, he ' ll go out of his way to give it to me. You know, in a crisis it ' s not hard to get help for awhile; people naturally sympathize when some- thing big and obvious hits their feelings. But it ' s the day in, day out, little annoyances, that heckle you without attracting attentions from others, that make most of a man ' s misery. And that ' s where the fraternity comes in. And now, gentlemen, that I ' ve got myself off on a philosophic jag, maybe it ' s about time to sleep it off. I ' m in favor of a little bed. The motion was unanimous.

Bathing suits this year were not made with the idea that they are to be worn in the water. They might get wet. Bootsie Edmiston is the pretty and vivacious miss running across the sands in leaps and hounds. (She is cither a devoted follower of Ted Shawn ' s dances or a mem- ber of Tan Sigma.)

Spike Robertson, Phi Psi man- about, didn ' t want to study one Saturday night so he hied himself off to the Junior Prom. There something so horrible happened to Spike that even yet he wakes in the middle of the night sighing deeply. Spike, standing by Helen O ' Connell at intermission, heard her murmur how hungry she was. Gallant young Robertson offered to bring her a sandwich. But lovely O ' Connell insisted on going with him. So Spike and Helen left happily, good friends. (Poor Spike! After this, fearful that such may happen again, he ' ll probably stay home and study.)

But it can take care of only a limited number whose tastes nm to such organizations. The Independent Student Associa- tion has solved in the main the problem of furnishing entertain- ment the independent can afford. Contrary to many opinions, how- ever, dancing does not form an ade- quate social life. So instead of being a member of a consciously selected group the in- dependent stands in a vast forest where one tree is scarcely distin- guishable from another. Fortunate is he who by some happenstance finds ideal friends. Many find them before they are graduated, but many have dropped out, beaten by the overpowering loneliness, tired of crying on their own shoulders and patting their own backs. Ruth, mid alien corn. was the ancestor of Dale Carnegie compared to many unaffiliated students. ADVICE TO ATHLETES MEAT Makes Muscle More MEAT More MUSCLE MIGHTIER MEN EAT MEAT W I N Of course, there ' s always the other Janus-face to reuiemhcr. The independent is free to choose his own quarters that is, he is if he ' s not too choosy. ( Remember, we ' re at the State U. where compulsory housing rules arc still considered an infringement on human rights.) Having once chosen that room, the independent may eat his meals where and when he likes. He has the God-given privilege, blessed by his parents, to starve in a boarding house or to ruin his stomach with greasy grub at a restaurant. His hours, outside of those he has sold for 20 cents each to keep himself in school, are his own. He answers to no one save the dean and mother, and hopes, at that, the dean will ask no questions. The barb never has to live in fear of being made over by so- licitous brethren. He can wear black shoes with brown suits, eat peas with his knife, sleep in the raw, stay away from dances, move out of one rooming hut into an- other at will, refuse to be nice to persons he detests, tell what a rat his roommate is, and in general do as he jolly well pleases. Spare time, or leisure time, is no bother to the independent. While some may fret and worry over what to do with their extra hours, the independent ' s financial embarrass- ment usually takes care of those by forcing him to work four to five hours a day to keep in school.

Your GAS Company APRIL 1940 319 The Dramatic Club production of the Barrie play was shiny over most of the surface, but it wasn ' t polished. It didn ' t have that high gloss of the really finished pres- entation. Not, you understand, due to any glaring errors in staging, direction, or acting, but to the minor details which for the most part were overlooked as the pro- duction rode along smoothly. Un- doubtedly, a lot of it was caused by the hectic and persistent trouble encountered along the production route. No end of nice things could and should be said about Director Robert Calderwood ' s work with this show. He didn ' t get to the stars through his difficulties, but he didn ' t miss too far.

There was more to the general quality of acting than met the eye and ear, for the mood of the play was pretty well retained through- out. Jack Nelson and Mary Noel, two veterans in Eraser, led the show in more ways than one; Miss Noel especially, for hers was a changing character. She didn ' t let Phoebe Throssel down. And the role of Susan Throssle, her sister, was handled smoothly by Shirley Jane Ruble. One of the juveniles stole a scene out from under her elders when the perky Isabella, a pupil in the Throssel sister ' s private school, ended her stint with, Father desires me to acquire al- gebra.

Theodore Paullin is chairman of this group, which oversees the general direction of Y work and the plans of Secre- tary John J. O. Moore. The committee on Personal Re- lations is Mr. Moore ' s special pet. His ambition is to make the a more integral part of the stu- dent ' s life especially the inde- pendent student ' s and he hopes to do it by giving personal advice and counsel, establishing study groups, and setting up a vocational guidance sub-bureau. If he weren ' t so busy, Secretary Moore would probably like to do it all himself but there are other things which take more time. His job is the focal point around which the whole structure of the local Y revolves. As executive secretary he guides the various committees and sees that they are all coordinated. Probably the most important part of his work is, as you might expect, the obtainment of the hard dollars. About $700 comes into the treasury from tho Men ' s Student Council but more than $2,000 comes from sources off the campus. Of this amount $500 comes from the state but for the rest of it Moore is pushed hard to see that those fat letters keep coming in. On the other hand some contri- butions come in without any effort on his part. He received a letter recently from New York City sent by an old alumnus a corporation lawyer. It contained $25. It is appropriate here to point out that this year for the first time since 1929 the Y got out of debt and was able to raise its budget. The fact that the stadium conces- sions for the football games were THE JAYHAWKER given to this organization last fall and that membership is steadily in- creasing shows that Moore is able to keep both ends even with the middle. Because of his ability and sincerity he has the support of both student members and faculty ad- ministrators as no previous secre- tary has had for a long time. Tins is one reason why the Y. M.

Last year, 3,088 persons were en- rolled in courses with this bureau. Approximately two-thirds of these were Kansas residents, the others representing most of the other states and territories of the U. S., and many foreign countries, such as East Africa, China, India, Vene- zuela, and, remarkably, the city of London. English and journalism courses are perhaps the most popular, and it is in connection with these courses that many of the interest- ing stories in the bureau arise. Many times students in feature writing or the course in the short story have turned their efforts into monetary reward by cracking some of the well-known periodicals. Then there was the Kansas woman who took, merely as a hobby, all the Spanish offered by the bureau, and when later she unexpectedly moved to New Mexico she found an opportunity to teach the language in the public schools. Inmates of state penal institutions are allowed to enroll in correspondence study without cost, and the latest pride of the bureau is a big time Lan- singite who has made good in the writing field. General Information Organized in 1911, the bureau of general information is just that, and consequently it receives about 6,000 requests each year for loans of reference material.

CHICAGO ILLINOIS requests are given serious consid- eration, but the bureau sometimes finds itself stumped by inquiries concerning the best market for jackrabbits west of the Mississippi, the loan of a stuffed bird, or the one by some young author for an ending that had never been thought of before for a mystery novel he was writing. Aside from such unusual queries, the bureau functions as a clearing house of information for the peo- ple of the state. From books and periodicals, especially the latter, it will make up a package library on practically any subjuct you can think of, making the selections ac- cording to your individual inter- ests and needs. Miss Helen Wag- staff, secretary of the bureau, stresses the point that the service is not merely that of a loan library, for the package materials sent out are not static, but are varied to fit each request. High school debate materials are furnished in great quantities each year, and the bureau aids many study groups in planning programs and obtaining information. It also acts as the loan agency for the university library, sending out about 3,000 books a year. A school and community drama service is also maintained, which lends plays for purposes of selection and which advises on production problems. There is also an art print collec- tion of 2,000 prints for loan pur- poses.

Two field repre- sentatives of the bureau visit com- munities desiring lectures and ly- . emu courses and help arrange the programs. The bureau of extension classes, also under Mr. Keeler, makes fac- ulty members available for classes in centers where a minimum of fif- teen students can be obtained who desire a particular course. This service is carried on mainly in the larger cities of the state, with the instructors meeting classes about once a week. Visual Instruction A film library of 2,000 reels of silent and sound Id-nun, motion pictures, and a collection of several hundred glass slides are the stock- in-trade of the bureau of visual in- struction, the secretary of which is Fred S. Montgomery. These visual aids arc available for distribution to high schools and colleges in Kan- sas and elsewhere the else- where last year meaning thirty- eight other states. Distribution last year also set a new high of approxi- mately 25,000 reels, considerably more than pass through the pro- jectors of the Lawrence theaters. The life of a film in this bureau begins when it is screened for pur- chase or rejection, and continues (if accepted) through a cycle of booking mil. shipment, inspec- tion on return, and reshipment, until it finally is worn out or be- comes out of date. In addition to this routine work, the bureau does a great deal of promotion in the field of visual instruction, and renders valuable service in helping schools plan their visual education programs.

Many of these films are being used in the course in The Motion Picture which was begun this semester by the depart- ment of speech and dramatic art. Radio station KFKU was fifteen years old this year, marking it as one of the first of universit - sponsoreil stations. Mi Mildred Seaman is the program director of the station. The programs are for the most part directed to listcner- not on the campus, a fact which is often forgotten when student criti- cism of the programs offereil i- voiced. The foreign language les- sons for example are among the most popular, and KFKU practic- ally pioneered the field in this t pe of broadcast, with many school sta- tions later following. The most important programs now offered, according to Miss Sea- man, include the University of Kansas roundtable, now in its ico ond year, featuring faculty mem- bers and guest speakers on subjects of wide interest; a health srrie- sponsored by the school of inedi- cine, presenting talks prepared by the American Medical Association: and the new series of vocational guidance programs, which lia r featured talks on engineerinf:. law. teaching, music, and art, and will later this spring present medicine, business, aviation, social science-. and home economics. KENNEDY PLUMBING AND ELECTRIC CO. A Complete Line of General Electric Radio and Electric Appliances 937 MASS. PHONE 658 ] ltlJ APRIL 1940 323 Year, Dr. Allen? . (Continued jrom Page 267) Weary from the long fight to the top, the Jays moved into Kansas City during the Easter holidays to meet Colorado U., the University of Southern California, and Rice Institute- Not given the proverbial snowball ' s chance of victory, K. U. surprised the Kansas Citians by rid- ing to victory over Rice the first night (50-44) with Howard Engle- man banging in 21 points. And that U. S. C. contest was the year ' s thriller, with Kansas coming from behind in the final 18 seconds to snatch victory (43-42) from appar- ent defeat. Kansas had its shot at the Na- tional title the next week against Indiana, but failed when the fast breaking Hoosiers set the Mt. Oread crew down to 60 to 42. To- day K. U. is ranked as the second collegiate basketball team in the United States. But Doctor Allen points to next winter. In spite of his great season in 1940, he insists that Kansas will not reach the peak of its present climb until next winter. Graduating are three valuable seniors, Co-captains Dick Harp and Don Ebling and Bruce Voran. All three of these men will be missed. Harp was a standout guard, Ebling proved to be what Allen called his most valuable man and Voran was one of the greatest clutch players in K. U. history at his famous utility role. Returning next winter will be Ralph Miller, Howard Engleman, Bob Allen, John Kline, Bob John- AUTO WRECKING AND JUNK CO.

To supplement the veterans, Allen points to a brilliant frosh squad which features such able men as Allen Nipper, Marvin Sol- lenberger, Jack Buescher, Norman Sanneman, Vance Hall, Jack Michener, and many other hopefuls.

At the present time more college students are identified with intramurals than any other extra- curricular activity on the Hill. Elbel ' s theory of intramurals is dis- tinctly reminiscent of a Confucius Say If it ' s fit for varsity men it should be fit for all who are phys- ically fit. However, intramurala was not an educator ' s dream nor was it designed by any chancellor to occupy the spare time of his students. Intramurals was and is strictly a demand by the students course. Formerly, college intramurals was considered merely a higher education in physical training. However, as college varsity ath- letics steadily improved, many boys who had actively participated in high school or training camps were found with no means to carry on their athletically inclined efforts in college for they were not proficient Robert Keith Furniture and Carpet Company 1301 Baltimore Kansas City, Mo.

THE JAY HAWKER enough to earn a place on the var- sity squads or they did not have the time to spare which varsity athletics require. This is where in- tramurals stepped in and has con- tinued to step higher in each suc- ceeding year. When inti.iiinir.il- was in its early years, individual tournaments and competition was stressed. Of late years, especially under Dr. Kllii-l. team competition has been emphasized to obtain the greatest good for the greatest number. Facilities for intramurals, formerly of ample quantity, are now decid- edly deficient. The greatest need, of course, is indoor space, but lack of handball courts is also a definite handicap. The equipment for in- tramural activities has failed to keep pace with the growth of the remainder of the University. Aids during the past year for this department have been a Stu- dent Council appropriation, gained through the efforts of Dr. Allen, for resurfacing one-half of the football fields; the use of NYA Vitex Vitamin D MILK HELPS BUILD STRONG BONES AND SOUND TEETH Bottled By LAWRENCE SANITARY MILK ICE CREAM COMPANY PHONE 6% FOOT OF VT. ST. students as office-help and also as officials for the games; and the re- organization of the student man- ager system to aid in the mechanics of the program. This latter inno- vation was further aided by a Stu- dent Council appropriation which provided sweater awards with em- blems for members on the student manager committee. While the intramural system is progressing as a whole the most im- portant item on the spring calendar is the star of the softball season. This is scheduled to get under way the second week in April with the Sig Eps and Sig Alphs as the teams to watch as a result of their one, two finish in this sport last year. Thirty to thirty-four teams are expected to compete in soft- ball this year. Six-man horseshoes and five-man tennis are the only competitive team events listed but tournaments in horseshoes, handball, and tennis will provide the outlet for singles performers on the Hill. As a finale to this intramural year, a golf tournament and track meet will be conducted in May. A quick view of the winter season season would indicate that the Phi Gams dominated the field quite thoroughly. After losing an early game to the Sigma Chis, the Fijis marched undefeated through the remainder of the season and also the play-offs. With a team com- posed entirely of former Ark Val- ley stars, the Gams winners of Div- ision I in the regular schedule, ex- perienced no difficulty in their games until the final two tussles with the A. K. Psis, runners-up to the Buccanners in Division 11. in the finals of the play-offs. The Fijis beat their cross-street neigh- bors, 30-29 ami 36-33. in t panics where they were forced to come from behind and win each conir-i in the final few minutes. The Phi Psis dominated the play- offs in Class B and C by mniim both divisions. In Class B th- . - perienced t wo close games ami finally beat the Kappa Sigs, 21 i 19, in the finals.

The win- ter season was officially closed with the swimming meet being run off the week after Easter vacation.

He frequently ran the half-mile, mile, and two-mile in the same meet. He won the mile race at the National Collegiate meet and set a new record of 4:11.1. He was still a sophomore when he placed fourth in the 1500 meter run of the 1932 Olympics at Los Angeles; he was the first American to finish in the event. In the winter of 1933 Cunning- ham experienced his first competi- tion in major indoor meets. He won the Wanamaker Mile, Baxter Mile, Columbian Mile in fact, every race he started. In the Big Six outdoor meet that year he set a new record in the 880-yard run and won the mile. At the National Collegiate championships he set a record in the mile (4:09.9) and lost by inches to Chuck Horbostel in the 880. At the end of the season, he re- ceived the Sullivan Medal, given each year to the man whom, by his influence and example, has done most to advance the cause of good sportsmanship in the nation ' s ama- teur athletics. Among other accomplishments in 1934 he set a new indoor world record in the Columbian Mile. He ran his 4:06.7 at the Princeton In- vitational. He established a new indoor world record in the 1500 meters. He was named Honor Man of the year at K. U.

We ' ve backed away from it and pooh-poohed it and exclaimed that nobody wins a war and proved to ourselves conclusively that war is hell. For ten years we ' ve steeped ourselves in bloody pictures of mangled 1918 boys. Sheer, inexorable reasoning has forced us into a jelly-like mass of fear. But now, once more, we talk of war. Now, suddenly, we have been awakened from the false dream of sanity. Lulled by logic, we spoke calmly. We shall never touch the bitter stimulant of war again, we said. And now the insanity of war has leaped down our very throats and we ' ve got to swal- low it. We ' ve got to. We can ' t help it. We ' re already involved. To the utmost of our public opinion and the utmost of our economic strength we ' re on the side of France and England. We know that they represent the outposts and the defense of our own civilization, such as it is and of the kind of progressive, individualistic, kindly ideals we most earnestly profess. And yet it ' s so hard for us to acknowledge the implica- tions of all of that. So very hard! Inn We Say We say, hopefully, England, you know, loses every battle but the last one. And that makes a quaint and interesting proverb for sewing cir- cles to talk about. But weak old Rome, too, had a wonderful reputation until the coming of a kind of social organization which ravaged and killed without regard for rules or righteousness or Romans. We say, too, They can never reach u- rr here. But we also said, Italy can never run- quer Ethiopia. . . . Russia can never con ]iirr the spirit of the Finns. . . . Germany can never absorb Czechoslovakia and Poland. . . . The blitzkrieg is a myth. . . . There can be no room for wishful thinking in our plans for Aim r- ica ' s future. We must understand the possibility of terrific psychological dismemberment within, as well as the possibility of fanatical inventive- ness and brutality from without. Some of us say, finally: It is better to alive and under a dictator even a foreign die tator than to be dead. Surely, this is biologi- cally logical. But it can only seem a truth for man when truth is far, far off and overseas. It can only seem a truth until the dictator actually comes. Then can be seen the death of creative thinking, the death of beauty, the death of all the basic freedoms. Then can be seen the death of all the ambitions of all the young men and women the loss of growth for each and the loss of material goods for all. And as we -. struck down in the streets those of our close friends who were born with certain names, possessed of certain beliefs, or gifted with certaii gifts, then shall we see truth about the lie dictatorship. Then shall we see that anything- oh, anything is better. That sacrifice of ai kind is better. That revolution must come save our children for health and peace mental uprightness. And we shall feel deeply about it ver deeply. Anguish and pain will emphasize our determination. But it will be too late. For fas- cism bears no revolution in this day of mechan- ized arms. And if there is treachery within the h ' .l. M Y I 9 4 gang ' s own ranks, it can only lead to further fascism. The only possible reversal of fascism comes before, not after. And it conies through war. When will America grow up? When will we stop playing with our mud-pies and brace up to the facts of life? We want so very desperatelv to have our cake and eat it and pay nothing for it. We want the 1920 ' s back again. We want to be able to quote Washington some more and point disdainfully to Europe ' s quarrels and Clemenceau ' s Versailles Treaty and Britain ' s economic selfishness. Mechanics and Purpose Somehow all the unpleasant things are figured out as someone else ' s responsibility. It is always Europe ' s fault. We forget our playful nose- thumbing in Europe ' s direction after the War our quick dismissal of the deaths of our hun- dreds of thousands over there. We forget our crazy, drunken spiral of the prosperity era. We forget even such a recent crisis in the world ' s possibilities for peace as that Ethiopian War of Oil, when the League ' s first embargo on an ag- gressor was made ineffective by the flood of American oil exports. America has a momentous role to play on the world stage. But until now she has been prac- ticing for nothing more than bit-parts and off- stage noises. She whines and squeals that the other actors know all the tricks that the other diplomats will cheat her out of all she has. Now, at least, through her encircling screen of pretty soapbubbles, she has caught an awful glimpse of her seat in world affairs. She has seen a nightmare of a possible world without the protection of the British navy. It is not enough to sit at our bridge tables and in our barber chairs and speculate on how ter- rible the situation is. It is not enough to sigh and say, Well, here we are again. Nor is it quite enough to hope that Germany will quickly triumph, so that we wont have to travel overseas to do our fighting. There ' s more to it than Abbe- ville and parachute troops and a billion dollars and President Roosevelt ' s delight in the dramatic. There ' s the whole next thousand years of 337 western civilization resting on the control of a few government buildings and a few financial centers and a few electric plants throughout the United States. For we have seen in Germany what central control by terror can do central management by a very few efficient men who have no doubt of what they ' re after. ' lnn We Forget. The crux of this whole modern crisis lies in its streamlining. The mechanics of the war, like the mechanics of the Nazi control itself is the mechanics of smartly coordinated strength and speed. We see that now. And frantically we tell our Congress to spend a billion dollars for us to achieve that smartly coordinated strength and speed for our own defense. But we have not yet seen how important is the motive force which lies behind the mechanics. That force is the clear-cut purpose of National Socialist party leaders to gather to themselves all the wealth and power that lies within their reach, distributing only to those who help. There ' s nothing hazy or slow-moving about that purpose. It is the Diesel motor which runs the mechanics of political control so smoothly, and which gives the impetus to efficient war. As for us, we have no purpose. For twenty years we have been toying with isolation, with laissez faire prices, with governmental ineffi- ciency, with social chaos. For twenty years we have had no purpose. And we had better ask Congress to appropriate a billion or so dollars to find one for us. For with mechanics alone, and without a purpose, we shall find it hard indeed to beat off fascism, from without or from within. Whether we fight now, or later, is far less signifi- cant than this necessity of establishing an eco- nomic and a spiritual goal to fight for. America is a great nation. If she had been grown-up after World War I, she could have been a great force for peace and justice in her world. As it was she betrayed her trust to the soldiers she sent over there. Now it is time for her to prove she has learned. It is time for her to make herself strong and tell the world where she is going. And through the strength of her respon- sibility some day she will build a strong and lasting peace. THIS YEAR OF lil! ll ' li fey Walt Meininger. Drawings by Andy Darling Newspaper correspondents covering Lawrence and the University hit the jackpot this year. 1939-40 turned out to be the most eventful school year (excluding the international situation) since the last payment was made on the Memorial Stadium. In early September the newly reorganized I. S. A. doubled its member- ship to list a total of 702 independent students while fraternity members struggled through a thin rush week with only 344 registrations and sororities felt the pinch with 143 pledges from 190 rushees. Chancellor Malott was quietly inaugurated, soon faced a barrage of student protests when he just as quietly locked the traditionally open gate at the old Watkins home. Students expressed unanimous opposition to involvement in the European war in the Daily Kansan poll. . . . Order of the Coif, honorary legal frater- nity, nosed out Phi Beta Kappa for the lead in scholarship with a phenom- enal 2.68 grade average, while the W. S. G. A. and M. S.

The top blew off in what has been described as the year ' s top story when the administration took up the cry against indoor smokers. Following a series of arguments pro and con, student government moved to back the faculty exponents of the ban. . . . Charlie Barnett bandstanded for the first class party of the year, the Fresh- man Frolic, and a few weeks later Kansas dropped the first conference foot- ball game to Oklahoma, 27-7. . . .

Barbara Edmonds was Homecoming Queen; Missouri won a ball game from the Jayhawks, 20-0, before an un- surprised homecoming crowd; the fifth Phi Delt fire resulted in a probe by the State Fire Marshal. . . .

Perfectly cast, the comedy moved along almost as fast as the lines. For the first time since the season ' s opening double bill ( My Heart ' s in the High- lands and Emperor Jones ), no one felt that something was missing when a salt-water taffy salesman didn ' t shout up and down the aisles. Mr. Hull. i Nuckles, the director, either un- covered or produced some new talent for the show. Reola Durand, for her portrayal of Linda Seton, was voted best actress of the year, which amounts to receiving a Hillville Oscar. Throughout the play she exhibited her ability to bubble up like a Bromo-Seltzer. And, it might be added, she is almost as good for headaches. Conrad Voelker, as Johnny Case, received the plaudits of a Kansan critic. Because Kansan critics have long been deemed authorities by everyone including members of the Dramatics Club and the School of Fine Arts Mr. Voelker has every reason to enjoy justifiable pride in his performance.

(First two photos by RupfH-nthnl, lu t by Bingham.) Holiday marked the eighth consecutive pro- duction in which Marvin Moon took part. In his first seven appearances, Mr. Moon se ' iii-il to act in constant fear that he was about to be eclipsed. But by the time he got around to playing Edward Seton, a business tycoon of sorts, he had apparently learned one very im- portant fact. To wit: The human eye-brow, like a Venetian blind, does not have to be raised and lowered to let in the light. Martha Alice Horner, after humanizing the almost iiiliiniKiii character of Julia Seton, con- fesses a desire to appear in some role which will give her an opportunity to be sweet and coy. Something, perhaps, like Rebecca of Sunny- brook Farm, Martha Alice? Bill Fey, until now the Jayhawker ' s drama critic, privately scores himself zero for the way he did Nick Potter. In so doing, he merely proves himself a better actor than critic. Except for a tendency to wax W. C. Fieldish at times, he would perhaps be the Hill ' s ranking comedian. Larry David, as Ned Seton, drank his way through three acts so cleverly that he did not be- come obnoxious. That ' s quite a feat, especially in view of the fact that neither Clark Gable or Robert Taylor has succeeded for as long as a single reel. Harold Long and Arlouine Goodjohn per- formed that task of being two thoroughly un- likeable people (Mr. and Mrs. Cram) and did it so well that the audience enjoyed all their c ii . Bill McGinnis was the butler. Stage butlers, unfortunately, are stage butlers. (Continued on Page 404) The Polite Way to Say Phooey FRIENDS, WE GIVE YOU . . . THE DEBATE SQUAD! by RUSSELL BAKER IT ' S A bickering, arguin ' state, this Kansas, a notoriously outspoken state. Look at the sub- sidized farmer or the Topeka bank mogul, the freckled high school boy or the college prof; look at him and you ' ll see a fellow who ' d walk a mile to get into a red-hot argument, and maybe, a mile and a half. If you don ' t have a certain amount of arguin ' in you, why you just aren ' t a regulation Kansan. There are the high-school students for in- stance. They grow tall and fair on a diet of debating. Nowhere else on earth are there so many high school debaters per 100 students. The Kansas high school debate league is the second oldest in the nation, and that includes the thirteen colonies who got a couple of hun- dred years start on us. ... So enthusiastic are the boys and girls in our state high schools that the league had to forbid any student from taking part in more than four tournaments, and it strictly forbade any participation in national tournaments - - that ' s why you never hear of Kansans winning national honors anymore. Be- fore the ruling Kansas won all the time, say the powers that should know. And out of the brown-brick and red-brick high schools of the wheat belt come the debat- ers of the University of Kansas. In the cut below is the squad of ' 39- ' 40, young men who are supposed to be past masters in the gentle art of telling the op- position to go to the devil. They take a morbid delight in punch- ing a Missouri or K-State representative in the nose with a well-chosen verb surrounded by well- chosen nouns. To tell a debater from another school that he is as effective as the Republican campaign of 1936, and drown him in a flood of expletives (or logic) is more satisfactory than a cigar after Sunday dinner in the eyes of some of these gentlemen who have whacked the stuffing out of nationally known teams. Ask any coach in the twelve-school Missouri (Continued on Page 406) Rhodes, McKay, Wynne, and Sullivan went through many a practice, and many a real, debate. li un. Jim Mcrc.lith. Irxirti: Kunmer.

DALE HECKENDORN The best collection of athletes from the Mid- West and the South, perfect weather, gay colors, and brisk competition greeted spectators at Kan- sas ' greatest spring athletic festival, the eight- eenth annual Kansas Relays, April 20. Helen Johnson, blonde Jayhawk beauty, pre- sided over the colorful event from a throne on the bright green infield of Memorial Stadium with attendants, petite Marjorie Heimbrook and Becky Trembly, seated at her side. The queen and her ladies in waiting had hardly ascended the reviewing stand wlu-n starter Clyde Littlefield, Texas coach, sent the athletes on their cinder-devouring performance-. Four new records were entered on the debit -Me of the Relays ' ledger as approximately 10.00(1 customers cheered in the sun bathed stadium. It was Glenn Cunningham Day and tin- ex- cited Kansas fans were waiting pensively for the feature mile race, hoping that the great Kaiii-an would tour the four-lap course in record-break- ing time. His followers were doomed for di- (Continued on Page 405) I by BOB TRUMP Sports followers on Mount Oread during the past three months saw Baseball Coach Mike Getto and Track Tutor Bill Hargiss wage a nip and tuck battle for the title of Season ' s Unluckiest Man. Inclement weather was the chief factor in dampening Getto ' s prospects for a winning team, while that dreaded collegiate bugbear, in- eligibility, reached out and grasped 22 of Har- giss ' trackmen, thus dooming his hopes for a successful season. Troubled by an inexperienced inner circle whose only veteran was the capable Jack Sands at first base, and perplexed by an untried pitch- ing staf f, Coach Getto saw his Jayhawk baseball team resting securely on the bottom rung of the Big Six ladder following a double loss to the powerful Oklahoma Sooners on May 10 and 11. With six conference games and one non-confer- ence conflict remaining, the score board showed seven Big Six losses, one conference victory, and one non-conference triumph for the Kansans this year. The usual starting lineup found Monte Merkel ratching with Knute Kresie, Henry Horak, Red Dugan, or John Burge pitching. Sands was at first, Charles Kraemer or Larry Hensley at second, Ray Napier at short, and Dorus Mun- Photo by Maurice Jackson singer on third. Eldreth Cad- walader, Miller Cameron, Henry Horak, and Ramie Beims were the regular outfielders. Kansas began the season April 10 with a smashing 13 to 4 victory over the Rockhurst Hawks, a team which last year defeated both Missouri and Kansas. The Kansas State Wild- cats invaded Mount Oread on April 12, and when the dust of the battle had cleared away, Kansas held a 16 to 14 advantage. However, the next day the Wildcats came back to outscore the Jayhawks 14 to 4. A graph of the Kansas fortunes following the Kansas State series would show a steady and per- sistent decline, because, after leading the league for a day, the Jayhawks proceeded to lose six games in a row. Missouri ' s Tigers defeated them 9 to 6 at Columbia on April 17 with rain prevent- ing the second game. Then, the Iowa State Cy- clones breezed to an easy 17 to 3 victory over the Jayhawks at Lawrence on April 26. The battle for the cellar in the Big Six standings occurred on Mount Oread May 3 and 4 and saw the Nebraska nine move over to make room for the Jayhawks in last place after the Cornhuskers had won both games by scores of 9 to 6 and 7 to 6.

He takes up his rapid-fire Garand rifle, rests his flat arches on the bed of a swift new Army truck and rides off to war the modern way. . . . All America hopes the current crises will mil involve this country; but if they do, that college friend of yours will be only one of four million men called to the colors within the first thirty days. An army of such magnitude would requi more than 200,000 officers. And this is where the R. O. T. C. comes in. In 1920, Congress and the War Departmen decided that to avoid one of the most pernicious faults of the Army since Washington ' s day- lack of officers to train and lead troops a system should be set up to teach college men the funda- mentals of discipline, leadership, and military tactics. The Reserve Officers ' Training Corps was in- stituted accordingly, and that same year a unit was established at K. U. under the late Lieut.- Col. Harold Burdick, then an army captain. At present 100,000 United States citizens hold commissions in the Officers ' Reserve Corps. The first two years of training is compulsory at all land grant schools. K. U. is one of only three schools in the midwestern area containing 17 R. O. T. C. units at which the training is vol- untary. After four years of study and six weeks of summer camp, an R. O. T. C. man wins his com- mission as a Second Lieutenant in the O. R. C. But what would that mean to him in time of war? Think of someone you know in the R. O. T. ' .. Young men marching, along the peaceful intramural fields. . . . Here the officers come front and center to face the regimental commander. here: Cadet Lieut.-Col. Leilyn Young, highest ranking cadet officer; Cadet Maj. Bob Marietta, commander of the First Battalion; Cadet Maj. Bob Smith, commander of the Second Battalion; or one of the Scabbard and Blade members whom you saw carrying a red wooden sword during initiation. This young reserve would be ordered to a training camp in the Seventh Corps Area of the United States probably in Kansas or Nebraska. Given an agglomeration of citizens who had never fired a weapon larger than a B.B. gun, he would train them into a platoon of 40 infantry- men or coast artillerymen. Or, if his record were good, he might find himself in command of a company of 162 recruits. He would be required to requisition clothing, food, living equipment, gas masks, rifles and ammunition and supply his privates without misplacing so much as a shoelace. A tough assignment for any man. The Reserve officers, then, must know their business, and they go about learning it on a spe- cial schedule prescribed by the War Office. It is something like this. . . . Freshmen: first aid, camp sanitation, military symbols and map reading. Sophomores: scouting and patrolling against the enemy, details of the rifle and automatic rifle, advance guards, flank guards, the attack and defense. Juniors: characteristics of the machine gun, trench mortar, and .37 mm. gun (infantry) ; or technique of anti-aircraft fire, along with chart studies for direction of the fire (coast artillery) ; and command of the platoon or battery in combat. Seniors: military law, military history ( the ever-changing application of unchanging princi- ples of war ), supply, communication, and com- mand of large units in combat. Twenty-five cents a day, rain or shine, school or vacation, is what junior and senior men are paid by the Government and when they receive their commissions they have earned an officer ' s O. D. uniform and approximately $180 from their school work and camp life. In their six weeks of summer training (Ft. Leavenworth, Infantry; Ft. Sheridan, 111., Coast Artillery) the students put their book learning into practical application. They get lost in the woods on compass hikes, feel the bruising recoil of a .30 caliber rifle, fire 3-inch artillery, shoot up machine gun and automatic pistol ammuni- tion, and drill, drill, drill. They wake the roost- ers up in the morning, wash an endless chain of dishes on K. P., and get 70 cents a day. Their training is not all sweat and study. Men- tion of the University war boys immediately brings to mind military balls, barbecues, Sam Browne belts, and dress parades for it is the colorful side of the R. O. T. C. with which Hill students are most familiar. (Continued on Page 407) THESE MILITARY TRAINERS MAY HE VERY.

IM I IVY MARY KAY BROWN The Magazine Awards a Few Plumes to Its Own Workers by the Editor 1 V 7 ELL, when ' s the next issue coming out? No more of that embarrassing question. No more scowling and fiercely muttering. I don ' t know! And it ' s just all right with me. The editor is commonly supposed to slump down in his swivel chair and weep floods of tears when the time comes to vacate in favor of the next bright-eyed victim. In May, every la- borious item of editorial work is supposed to take on an old-rose glow of romance, as the familiar tasks slip into someone else ' s hands. But somehow these old stubborn heartstrings remain unwrung. Not that I haven ' t enjoyed the job even delighted in it as an outstanding adventure in originality. I ' ve chuckled over too many cartoons and well-turned phrases not to know that it ' s been a lot of fun. And I ' ve worked with too many swell people, too I ' ll get to that in a minute. It ' s just that I ' m frankly satisfied to call it a year. Time out for a let-up, say I. A slight vaca- tion and convalescence in some academic cloister for a few years, please, with birds twittering in the distance. No more staring at an 80-page blank dummy and thinking, What ' s going to be new and different this time? No more doubts and fears about engraving costs. No more begging and pleading with photographers to please, please get those prints in on Tuesday. . . . No more head-scratching over bright ideas for drawings. Scolding of laggard writers will be a thing of the past. No more painful attempts to arrange pictures artistically within a 4 by 12% half-page bleed plate. . . . There won ' t be any more tearing of the hair over a dull headline that will fit the space, and a good one that won ' t. No more chasing people into the Fountain to find out who this guy is in the second row. No more going to sleep in the office at 2 and 3 a.m. . . . No more copy-checking, no more page proofs, no more subheads to write, no more cut-cap- tions. No more early-morning trips to Kansas City and Topeka. No long-distance calls from Capper ' s: The back section is short! Where ' s some more copy? And no more last-minute, long-drawn-out editorials. . . . What a life! There ' s only one drawback. And the reader can see that drawback if he will thumb through the five 1940 issues and read the credit-lines. Some eighty people have worked on the Jayhawker at various times this year all eighty of them original, vital, distinct individuals many of them outstanding campus figures in their own right. They have made the Jayhawker the magazine it is, and they have made it what fun it has been for the editor. If there ' s any sadness in this last-issue business, it ' s the senior ' s own sadness of saying so long to college friends friends, in this case, who have come closer under the unique bond of journalistic pride and toil. Closest friendship of all, of course, has been between Chad Case and myself. Reputed to he practically blood-enemies in all financial mat- ters, the editor and business-manager have been this year the best friends ever. And, financially speaking, this fancy fifth issue was made pos- sible because there were advertisements and organization pages and senior pictures which Chad didn ' t expect to sell but tried to sell anyway and sold. This year ' s business man- ager will go down in Jayhawker history as one who never let down on the job, and as one of those rare persons who has vision enough to think of the magazine in terms of its future. Bob Woodward takes over next year. He has an impressive record of advertising sales, and his dependability and resourcefulness make him a worthy successor. Also outstanding in tin- business department was Stanley Stauffer, who came in a length or two behind Bob in the race for the man- agership. Ed Palmer, Nation Myer, and Bob Mc- Elfresh were highly capable assistants, and a very special word of mention should go to tireless, enthu- siastic Stan McLeod. On the editorial end, I confess I ' ve had a lot of wild ideas. But the remarkable thing about this year is not so much the new angles and new subjectmatter which have appeared in the magazine, but the staffs energy and intelligence in carrying them out. The office has truly been, as I hoped at the first of the year, a meeting-place for student talent. The big feature has been student art. Chief Artist Andy Darling not only has a keen feeling for humor and style, but he has been swift, efficient, and hard- working a swell fellow to work with. Don Fitz- gerald has a capacity of expressing fundamental hu- man humor which has delighted us all, and Betsy Dodge has given us some rare glimpses into female foibles. Minus all artistic temperament, these three really have a future in magazine work. Wonderful people, wonderful. As for photography, the big feature this ear lias been that all the pictures (except for the highly popular full-page views by Duke D ' Ambra) have been produced by K. U. talent. Hence the establishment of a sort of Jayhau ' ker award sys- tem, carrying no blue ribbons. but at least a momentary glow of achievement. They come under four head- ings personalities, action pic- tures, candid shots, and work done in the regular run .if article assignments. Beside- these, Art Wolfs picture of Betty VanDeventer, introduc tory to the sorority seeti. (December issue I was, I think, the best picture of the vear. Following is the list of win- ners: Personalities: Art Wolf, first picture of Kermit Franks: Maurice Jackson, second J.iek Dalby; Ed Garich, third a I- lace Dooley. Action pictures: Hal Branine, first Don Kbling in Missouri basketball game; Bert Brandt, second Chitwood tackling a Missouri player; Hal Branine. third Kansas Relays pole vault by Bryan. Candids: Hal Branine, first Kansas State post- game riot; Art Wolf, second final week picture, -in- dent turning off alarm; Bert Brandt, third soft beds in the Theta house tempting rushees. In Line of Regular Duty: Art Wolf, first Sopho- more Hop; Hal Branine, second vote-counting in M. S. C. election; Ed Garich, third K. U. cheer- leaders. And now the writing. If the art work has been the flashy feature of the book, the writing has ne er- theless been the more consistently remarkable in its quality. I don ' t know how it gets that way. Either people write differently nowadays or else the right people just happened to be on the campus this ear. Hence the considerable distinction involved in be- ing at the top of 1940 ' s list of writers. Editor-elect Betty Coulson is unquestionably at the top. The girl can write. And she also has, I think. the qualities of a good editor.

She ' s going to turn out one of the better Jayhaivkers. Of the other editorial assistants, Maurice Jackson was most valuable man in his combined skill in photography, his training in journalism, and his ex- perience with the Jayhnwker. Agnes Mumert ' s ability to turn a phrase has been a highlight of the magazine all year. And we shan ' t soon forget Roderick Burton ' s exposition of the real facts behind the word study. The work of these two people is quite unclassifiable, but it stands some- where near the top of our list. I ' ve tried to classify a few other prize-winning workers, but it ' s been slippery work.

Who can say what they feel? Who can say that what one may feel, all will feel? Most of tlicin are a little relieved and a little sad. Sonic of them, like Antoinette, see themselves headed for a guillotine, a guillotine of unemployment and mediocrity. Some are heads-up self-appointed Caesars of the mind, ready to conquer the world with ideas. A few, a very few parasites, just put down one foot after another, thinking little, car- ing less, sure that they will be taken care of, now and forever. Somewhere in that whole group of descenders there is true genius, fueled with edu- cation ' s tinder, ready to be set aflame by inspira- tion. One black robe follows another, down and down. But the group of juniors standing aside don ' t see tomorrow ' s Antoinettes, Caesars, para- sites, geniuses, passing in review.

Undergrads watch, flooded by the memories that every senior ' s face recalls snatches of conversation, cigarettes once loaned, laughter in a classroom, smiles across a table, collisions in Center Ad. and hello ' s between classes. A girl ' s eyes fill with tears as she watches the out-of-college, the out-of-her-life march of a senior sweetheart. A robust fellow in shirt sleeves swallows twice as a three-year roommate-sleepmate-playmate goes slowly by every step a divorce. Down the Hill they march. Out of college. Into what? The towering senior in his flowing, black robe may (even tomorrow) be the weary, green-eyeshaded man who hunches over books in a dark office somewhere. Rare is the case of Dear Junior who steps into a Vice-president ' s mahogany desk with a $40-a-week secretary. Not quite all the clear-eyed girls will become efficient secretaries, concert artists, or potentates ' wives. Some will clerk long hours in back-breaking de- partment stores. Some will file monotonous millions of little white cards. Some will wash and iron and sew week after week, year after year. Footstep moves into footstep high heels, broad oxfords, a mobile clan moves on, shot through with a thousand dreams : dreams of bet- ter medicine, better business, better literature, better art, better science, better music. Most dreams that, all too soon, will be hammered to atoms by the daily sweat for food, or by the eternal precedent for power. Dreams that must shine forever, here and there, to prove Educa- tion and Youth not all in vain. But now they accept their diplomas. They accept manhood, womanhood responsibility. They give up their lease to a line in the student directory, to University buildings, to near-dawn bull sessions, to mid-morning bridge and after- noon baseball, to friends they may never meet again, to yellow corduroys and anklets, to checks from home, to hours they can cut without being fired, to failures that mean only a talk with the dean and not starvation, to a chance they once had and may not have taken. They have marched down the Hill. Diplomas in hand, they greet friends, shake hands, climb into automobiles, saunter away. They leave a blank void that once held a known face. They leave the University mill, as nearly as possible finished products, shaped by faculty influence, packed with the words of books, flavored forever with the disappointments and successes they once knew here. They have their credentials now, stamped with the official seal for bread- line, employment agency, or achievement. Ma- chine gun food, tomorrow ' s conquerors, to- morrow ' s conquered. It makes no technical dif- ference just now. Only the dreams shining in the eyes, only the friends watching from the side- lines matter. The University is through. They have marched down the Hill.

SENIORS 1940 M A Y 191 373 Footnotes Forever! or, HOW TO WRITE A THESIS, WITHOUT ANY EASY LESSONS A thesis has hecn defined as almost everything from a hundle of footnotes gathered together hy a series of disjointed and usually unintelligible sen- tences to a small hody of thought effectively sur- rounded by camouflage. The preliminary consideration of all would-be thesis writers is the title. This should be chosen in accordance with certain regulations, which usually read something like the following: 1. Every thesis must have a title in SOME lan- guage. 2. No thesis shall have a ridiculous title. 3. Any title that someone tends to understand shall be considered ridiculous. 4. No title shall be more than twice as long as the thesis, nor more than half the wordage of the longest footnote, whichever is the longest, divided by the square root of two, and most titles should be shorter, provided that such abruptness does not add unduly to the ridiculousness of the same. 5. After thirty days, all titles shall become the property of the University, and will not be returned to the original owner unless he encloses ten cents in stamps with his entry to cover the cost of parcel post. Having chosen a title, the scholar may then go ahead and write a thesis on anything he doesn ' t want to. (According to the precedents of the game, any- thing he wants to write on is ipso facto unsatisfactory to the faculty adviser, or the head of the department, or the Kansas Motion Picture Board of Review. The player may now enter upon the main part of the game: the collecting of footnotes or research. Footnotes are, in general, various quotations obtained from other theses or articles written by people with advanced degrees. The highest ranking footnotes are those in Bulgarian or Greek, or from a Ph. D. dis- sertation with more than an inch of dust on its cover. Second-class footnotes include those in other foreign languages, those from authors with unpronounceable names, and quotations from all theses with more than a half an inch of dust on them. All other footnotes, including cracks from jokebooks, are considered strictly third class and not to be used except in cases of great emergency. The importance of footnotes to a thesis cannot be overestimated. A thesis without footnotes has no standing in scholastic circles. (It is said that one candidate wrote a thesis consisting entirely of foot- notes, omitting, it seems, the thesis proper. The over- sight was not noticed, according to the story, until some twenty years later, when another candidate writ- ing on the same subject wished to quote from the thesis itself. This, of course, proved impossible under the circumstances.) While collecting footnotes and before writing the thesis itself, the player should decide into what classification he is going to slant his paper. He is usually given two choices: (1) He can make the thesis proper more uninteresting than the footnotes or (2) he can make the footnotes more uninteresting than the thesis proper. If, however, he finds that it is impossible, even with modern techniques, to make the footnotes more uninteresting than the thesis proper, and vice versa, a true dilemmas de luxus then arises. The situation has been solved only in recent years by the introduction of a third type of thesis: namely, those in which nothing is more un- interesting. The player is now concerned only with getting his thesis down on paper. The present approved form requires the placing of only one word (and its foot- notes) on a page of the finished product. The word should be centered on the page, with the footnotes directly under it, and the title of the thesis and the number of the page in the upper lefthand corner. In the lower left-hand corner room should be left for an affidavit signed by two witnesses and sworn to before a notary that the word is part of the thesis. In the upper right-hand corner the photograph of the author, together with a short biographical sketch not to exceed 1,000 words, should be affixed. The lower right-hand corner is left blank to be stamped with the seal of the Registrar and other comments. The back of the page is also left blank for the faculty adviser to write thereon his reason for rejecting that page of the thesis. No article on thesis-writing would be complete with- out a mention of two famous, though superseded, his- torical theories. The moral theory of education assumed that every thesis should have a moral; this theory, however, came to its hysterical end in 1898 when Bertrand Horacefield Jones concluded his masterly Ph. D. dissertation on Why Gelett Burgess Would Rather See than be a Purple Cow with the remark: That ' s all, folks; there ain ' t no moral. The second theory, known as the doctrine of original sin, was that no original thought should be allowed to creep into a thesis. But various daring and courageous scholars have proved that original thought can be incorporated into a thesis without protest, provided that before hand the author can find where someone else has said it first. But when all is said and footnoted, thesis-writing will still remain a great sport: indeed, with the growth of higher education it may be expected to continue to the nth degree. by Roderick Rurton THE J A Y H A W K K K sirin; ii Mac Wynne, Chief Sachem MEMIIKHK, 193B-1940 Carter Butler K t -nil 1 1 Franks Harold Johnson Richard MacCann Boh Marietta Bob McKay Brewster Powers Dean Ritchie Leo Rhodes Keith Schuerman Boh Sullivan Bruce Voran Bill Waugh Mac Wynne No pictures: Leo Johnstone Irving Kuraner J.

The organization appeared first on the Kansas Campus in 1912, as the Torch Society for senior ivomen. In 1924 it became affiliated with the national organization of Mortar Board. Service to the University, the advancement of scholarship, cooperation with the faculty, and loyal support to every worthy activity are supposed to con- stitute the fundamental purposes of the organization. LEO RHODES Debate Coach Buehler calls Leo Rhodes one of the nation ' s best debaters. Among the facts backing that statement are the following: Rhodes has been on the winning team at five college tournaments in- cluding the country ' s finest competition; he was selected the leading debater at two major contests; and honorary forensic Delta Gamma Rho chose him its vice-president and outstanding honor man. He is also freshman debate coach. Outside the field of debate Leo is a Beta Gamma Sigma I business honor) , Owl, Sachem, past president and vice-president of Delta Upsilon, and Pan-Hellenic Councilman. Still, his favorite occupation is loafing with his feet on someone else ' s desk. For a gainful occupation he aspires to be chief finance officer of some corporation; he soon goes to General Electric ' s training course in finance and accounting. His recreation brings us right back where we started: To argue politics and international affairs more effectively with all, he studies political philo- sophy. For this and other reasons he ' d like to go to Europe, now or any time. But until he has sufficient income to do otherwise he expects to stay home and write at novels about the American social scene. Bob Hedges. William Waugh knows the Rock Chalk yell pretty well: he has been freshman, junior, and is now sen- ior and head cheerleader. In private life he is a student in finance because my dad is a banker (in Eskridge). He won the A. K. Psi award (along with Keith Schuermann I for the high ranking junior in the Business School; he is an Honor Roll man and a Beta Gamma Sigma (honorary business). Outside of cheers and studies Bill is a Pachacamac Inner Circle member and has been president of the junior class and treasurer of the Business School. He casts the Phi Delt vote on the Pan-Hellenic Council. he is a Ku Ku and Delta Sigma Pi (professional business) , Owl and Sachem. Taking up most of his time, though, is fiance Mary Jane McCoy. Golf he calls his favorite sport, but he keeps his scores dark. Like many, he wants to travel, partic- ularly in the knock-about method of getting wher- ever he pleases, however he can. Though he enjoys bridge and light modern novels, Bill prefers outdoor activity. He hopes that whatever work he does will allow him to move about outside a great deal. Rob Hedges.

He is that man you see so frequently playing bridge in Brick ' s or the Union. He is the man who is always talking about personal rights, equality, and freedom of speech in classes and meaning it. And he is the man who works as vice-president of the Y. M. C. A., president of the B.Y.P.U., and of the Student Christian Fed- eration. In college Zeke is a political science major and in its honorary Pi Sigma Alpha; is a Phi Beta Kappa, Owl, and Summerfield. He has been an active P. S. G. L. Next to Phi Beta Kappa membership he is most pleased by a research assistantship in political science next year at Minnesota University. His field is public administration, and he finds it ' absorbing: enjoys reading in it and would rather work in it than do anything else. However, he does relax, besides with bridge, by reading non-technical economics (as Stuart Chase) and The New Republic. He also likes good motion picture drama but dull patriotic shorts drive him wild. Bob Hedges. You saw her in Spring Swing and in Sing ' n ' Swing, in Cum Laude, Hay Fever, Liliom, and, best of all, in Quality Street. You saw her handiwork in the beautiful (!) dance numbers she coached for the K-Club meller-drammers. So Mary Noel is vice- president of the dramatics club, president of K. U. ' s National Collegiate Players, a major in speech and dramatic art, teacher in speech at Oread Training School, and a Tau Sigma. She is a Kappa and a Jay Jane. Furthermore, she is a beauty queen who has made the Dean ' s Honor Roll and honorary Pi Lambda Theta (in education). Mary came to K. U. from Lee ' s Summit, Missouri, by way of a year on a scholar- ship at Kansas City University. From Mount Oread she goes to the teaching profession in speech and dramatics. As you may have guessed, she likes plays. She reads them regularly and has written one which Oread High performed for a contest rating of ex- cellent. In all English literature Mary does a great deal of reading; she claims to have read most of the principal works of the past two centuries. But she also wants it known that she likes dancing and other non-academic things. Bob Hedges. IIIJIII COLE THE J A V H A W K E R BETTY .mi. BlllllimiTOS You don ' t overlook Betty Boddington. Her eas laugh and flaming copper hair I, beautiful, isn ' t it? ) arc not tilings ear and eye pass lightly over. Other important character- istics are not so self-assertive, however; one must uncover them deliberately. For instance, B.J. is that forgotten person, vice-prcsi ler.i of the senior class. Part hers is the responsibility for sec- ing that cap-and-gown, announcements, class-gift, anil MI-UH committees function properly. More responsibility lio In her membership on the W. S. G. A. Council. And the job of training the Gamma Phi pledge-. that ' s B.J. ' s. So is presiding over Mortar Board. For three years she has served on the Y. W. C. A. cabinet, once as secretary. A Spanish major, she has been secretary f El Ateneo, too. For recreation add the Girls ' Rifle Team and the V. A. A. (representing extensive intramural participation!. She likes school because of the kind of people in it. Next year she enters the teaching profession in hometown Kansa- City, Kansas. Outside of class, then and now, she ' ll lake travel, music, and English literature especially tin- Orient, piano, and Charles Dickens, respectively. Also in- teresting to Betty Jane is Bob McKay. Bob BOB MARIETTA Soldier, politician, and lawyer: these are the student careers of Robert Marietta. Bob is a member of honorary Scabbard and Blade and holder of the commandant ' s cup for the leading junior cadet. In K. U. ' s army he is a caIet major. Politically he is chairman of P. S. G. L. and a former freshman dance manager and Men ' s Student Councilman. His major is political science, in which lie belongs to honorary Pi Sigma Alpha and has been on tin- Dean ' s Honor Roll. And these, of course, mean Owl Sociei and Sachem. The law is yet to come: for the next three years he plans to be busy in Green Hall. Then he expects to enter private practice unless politics seems too inviting. Until then, however, when summer comes Bob goes back to Salina to just one job which puts him and brother Stan thru school : Wheat raising. And that, in case you didn ' t know it, is a job. Outside of working and study hours, swimming and handball take Bob ' s time. Sometime he would like to do general reading from Plato to modern America, but so far he has had to postpone that education until the long days of client-waiting. Bob STEWART JOKES If you really want something done, you might see Stew Jones about it. He will probably seem more than willing to help out whether he is or not and you may rest assured that it will be done. For whether it ' s been a Kansan staff position or freshman cheerleadership, a Jayhawker writing as- signment or Sigma Delta Chi ' s secretaryship, Stew Jones has never dodged (or left unfinished) a job in his life. He ' s held practically all the positions on the Daily Kansan from rewrite man to managing editor, and is at present chairman of the Kansan Board. Last year he was co-winner of the Schott scholarship award for excellence in journalism. He ' s also an A. T. O., first lieutenant in the R. O. T. C., a member of Scabbard and Blade, vice-president of the Pach- acamac party, and a Sigma Delta Chi. His favorite hobby is reading; thinks Vincent Sheean ' s Personal History is tops. He wants to be a writer; hopes to get a press service or radio writing job eventually. He attended night school this year to learn shorthand just in case he might need it sometime. Roderick Burton. Jane Blaney looks to the future. Not that she ie dissatisfied with the present she ' s much too cheer- ful for that but Janie just wouldn ' t be Janie if she weren ' t always thinking that the next thing is going to be a little more interesting than the last. Swim- ming, for instance, is her favorite diversion, though she is fairly itching to take up sailing. Her newest interest, however, is music. Recently she bought Tschaikovsky ' s Fifth Symphony and though she hasn ' t much time now for concentrated listening she knows that some day it will give her tremendous satisfaction. Another interest concerns suntanning. Jane is a kind of amateur dermatologist in that she studies the different effects of sunshine on people ' s skins. Has an idea of setting up a suntan clinic on Waikiki or Miami Beach but admits that she doesn ' t yet know what to suggest for freckled persons. In the nearer future Jane plans to teacli social science studies and in preparation for this has been conducting a class at Oread Training School. At pre- vious times she has been secretary of the Jay Janes and the W. A. A., Theta rush captain, and assistant on the Jayhawker and Sour Owl business staffs. That tall blond fellow you see with her so much is Bill Harris, her fiance. He comes from Kansas City, Mis- souri, too. Kenneth Lewis. JMEBUM Photos by- Art If oil INTERESTING I III:N: III: TS Photos and Write-ups fry Maurice Jackson Vinford Frry Yes, Win is connected with The Ferry of downtown fame. His parents run the fatuous hill joint across from the Granada and he works there to earn a part of his University expenses. With seemingly endless energy he manages the Galloping Dominoes intramural team, brad- the intramural committee of the Union huilding, and studies all the spare moments he can find, which arc few and far between. The Dominoes swam away with the intramural swimming meet this spring, and have been a strong contender in every intramural sport. Win says that managing and keeping an intramural team together is an all-time job in itself. As chairman of the Union intramural committee he has organized the ever-popular table tennis tour- naments, and has promoted a university team, wliieli has played matches with nearby schools. Has planned a table tennis league for next year which includes College of Emporia, University of Nebraska, Univer- sity of Kansas City, Topeka Table Tennis Association, and probably an independent club at Manhattan. It was mainly through his efforts that the union bridge and chess tournaments were organized and developed. A major in mining engineering, he wants to get a job in Chile, anyway South America, with some liij; mining company. Has his eye right now on a possible job with the Braden Copper Company in Chile. Jay Simon One of the few perennial inhabitants of the journa- lism building that really gets things done and see- that the Kansan doesn ' t come out upside-down is Jay Simon, senior from Galena. As sports editor during the basketball season he wrote most of those top-notch net-swishing yarns that you hated to have end. He ' s managing editor of the Kansan now. He lives and breathes sports, and his ambition is to get on the sports desk of a big daily paper. Thinks it would really be swell to work for the New York Daily News; likes the way they handle their sports. Would take golf if he was going to be a specialist, though track (as it isn ' t at Kansas) runs a close sec- ond. Plays golf himself. Jay spent the first few years of his college career at Pittsburg State Teachers ' College, and there got his real taste of sports writing as publicity man for the Pittsburg Gorillas. Aside from writing about timber toppers, cagers, thin dads, and gridders he likes: the semi-pro co-ed, the kind that is looking for both a home and a profession; to study make-up styles of different papers; and the only thing he thinks wrong with his alma mater is its geography. clack llalliv One of those few blowers who gets things done, Jack Dalhy ' s an artist on several instruments, a magician, a director, a baton twirler. He abounds with energy and does everything he undertakes well. Got his start in music in Topeka High School, and plans to teach vocal and instru- mental music in some high school when he grad- uates this spring. Jack has charge of baton-twirling in the Midwestern Music Camp and his pupils are strutting before high school bands throughout the state. He ' s a member himself of that flashy crew that performs with the K. U. band at its public appearances. Is very fond of band work and believes he gets his greatest thrill out of mounting the director ' s stand and wielding the baton. If you haven ' t seen his magic tricks at some meet- ing or another you ' ve really missed something. He got his start in magic in high school, and he has been able to pay a good part of his school expenses by staging acts for parties and groups desiring some novel entertainment. Some of his tricks, especially the one where he makes a bird cage disappear in thin air, have com- manded the attention of some famous magicians. Just to keep himself busy, he directed the Ameri- can Legion Drum and Bugle Corps at Atchison, last year, commuting in order to hold rehearsals. Gerald Fiedler Last spring along with John Moore, Kermit Franks, and Harry Smith, Jerry got interested in a co- operative scheme of living. Last fall it budded forth in the Jayhawk Co-op. Eating and living together co-operatively the twenty students who were for- tunate enough to be chosen for the group have secured their room and board (and well) for the low cost of $17.50 a month. He thinks the co-op movement is an important one: has a job with the educational department of the Consumer ' s Co-operative Association in North Kansas City when he graduates this spring. Besides doing a lot of the Co-op managing he works as a student janitor and keeps books for the local consumers ' co-op. Is a political science major and thinks the co-operative movement is the only way for the poorer classes to better themselves. His other interests include golf and hiking, the Y. M. C. A., the Wesley Foundation cabinet, the Methodist choir, and Enterprise, a swell little town between Lawrence and Ottawa. He went to Baker University for the first two years of his college career. His personality has gained him friends everywhere he has gone, and explains, at least in part, the success of the Jayhawk Co-op. As for women, well, he thinks they are just a lot of trouble. INTERESTING Photos and Write-ups by Maurice Jackson Olin Templin, Visionary Sixty-four years ago a good-looking young school teacher from out Eden Prairie way sat in a Hutchin- son auditorium and listened curiously to a lecture. The words of Noble Prentice on The World as a School. far from convincing, turned the thoughts of keen-eyed Olin Templin to all the other possibilities that lay ahead of a kid his age. He suddenly decided to go to college, and next morning found him asking for and getting a job at Nickerson ' s Brickyard. This young fellow lately of Indiana, lately plougher of sod for his father and typesetter for the Hutchinson News, lately of the eighth grade landed in Lawrence that fall with $23 in his pocket. He spent some time ringing doorbells, finally wound up at 1100 Kentucky, working for his board. From then on he scrubbed floors, milked cows, sold washing machines and Bibles a case of cleanliness being next to Godliness. Meanwhile he had managed to win some sort of a prize in one of his mathematics classes. One after- noon as he was walking downhill ( past the ex-gover- nor ' s old estate, which was one day to be called Alumni Placet big, red-bearded Professor Miller of of the math department caught up with him. Wonder if you ' d like to help us out in the department this year, Templin? We need an assistant. Now, anything looked good to someone who had been batching it even teaching. So for his last three years, Olin Templin instructed some of the other 300 students as well as taking the usual prescribed courses himself. As a janitor he also stayed in one of the top-floor rooms of Fraser Hall spent part of his spare time looking after the student rooms in the basement, part of it chasing out the townspeople ' s cows and locking the big campus gates every evening. After graduation in ' 86, he taught math; spent a year and a half in Germany, contacting the vital culture of the 80 ' s; came back to receive the depart- ment of philosophy by default because new Chan- cellor Snow didn ' t want to teach mental and moral science. He expanded the work to include logic, ethics, aesthetics; he got himself an assistant; his classes attracted students. He was appointed Dean of the College in 1902; went right on teaching; had to be dean of men and dean of women, too ; tried five times to resign from all the drudgery, turmoil, and ili-ali-l ' arl inn of the office. Th-n. in 1917, he got a change. Declaration of war moved him to Washington to work, first, under his- tory-writer Guy Stanton Ford, later, under Herbert Hoover as director of school and college activities in the National Food Administration. Fool ill in the War he told 650,000 school teachers and they told the children; meatless days were only par! of the big program of ideas he helped to plan and push. In ' 19 he came back again to be Dean and phil- osophy prof. For the sixth and last time, in 1921. In- put his foot down. No longer Dean of the College. he breathed free air again as merely philosophy department head and secretary of the Endowment Association. And being free, he couldn ' t stand it. This latter p osition of his had meant little work so far notliing beyond calling meetings of the Endowment Associa- tion every year or so to fill a vacancy. Now. with time hanging heavy, he took the opportunity to re- organize. Disregarding vague protests that a State University shouldn ' t beg money, he wrote letter- in the eighteen trustees suggesting that the office could use some expense money. There was one repl from Solon Summerfield of New York City. How mm-li did he want? A thousand dollars, he wrote back, chuckling at lii own impudence. Mr. Summerfield replied with a check for five thousand. That started things functioning in something of a hurry. Alumni helped by pledging a regular yearly expense income. Olin Templin began taking to tin- road. Funds began to be established loans, pri .es. scholarships. The Endowment Asociation began to be something. Among other things, the Secretary received an in- quiry from Solon Summerfield again. Wasn ' t there something else he could do? Here sparks struck dry tinder. Spiritedly Olin Templin told him his own feelings about the many hundreds of Kansas youth outstanding ones in high school senior classes who had no chance to come to college. Tell me exact l what can be done about it, said Mr. Summerfield. And Mr. Templin did. He worked out and sent to him a plan for a series of competitive four-year scholarships, with money to be given each boy ae- cording to financial need. Summerfield studied the plan, approved it, promised to send $5000 per year per class. Since, the twenty-thousand-a-year Summer- field Scholars have led campus honor rolls and ac- tivties, made the boys back home look ambitiously to their studies, have found places in the world and started upward. Still, out of all the high schools ' entries, only about fifteen a year can be chosen. Last spring, Olin Temp- lin opened a double-barrelled drive. A dormitory for self-supporting boys was not only to be the fii t University housing move, it was also to take in a few more of those high school graduates. One house only was asked for, and that a remake of old Brynwood Place. But, as he remarks, the be- ginning of an idea brings out the fecundity of phil- anthropy. Now there are three of them. Still this i- only a goad. The Endowment Secretary is already writing letters about the blueprints he has for a -i - dorm quadrangle around the new Battenfeld Hall! A zealous patriot of Kansas and K.U., proud if having worked under seven Chancellors, proud of his three grandsons and his great-grandson. Olin Templin has watched the University grow and helped it grow since the time when there were 300 stu- dents and the Chancellor himself enrolled them. Tin- man has imagined a lot of fantastic things and then worked at them. And most of them have come true. Richard MacCnnn. Ruth Hoover, Joseph Taggart. C. B. Realey. John Hankins, Mary Grant, J. D. Slranathan. (Photos by Ed Garich) I have always been interested in athletics and teaching, says Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of physical education. She attended the Uni- versity of Illinois, and her first teaching experience was as a student assistant in swimming. While in college she was a member of Delta Delta Delta and Mortar Board. She began teaching at K. I . in 1921, and in 1925 took time out to obtain a master ' s degree in physical education at Columbia. Professor Hoover spends her summers in teaching, either at the Uni- versity of Illinois or Colorado. For recreation she plays games just for the fun of it. Favorite sports: golf, swimming, and badminton. Girla may preserve their feminity, she asserts, ami still enjoy athletics, if they don ' t try to equal the physical prowess of boys. Glee Smith. Professor Joseph H. Taggart spent his undergraduate days at Yale. After graduation he worked in the central buying department f or Procter and Gamble and taught Spanish on the side in a night school at Cincinnati. Ohio. He took graduate work at Harvard and served for a year and a half on the faculty at Lehigh before he came to Kansas. Kansas. He has been a professor in the department of economics at K. U. since 1928. Prof. Taggart received his Ph. D. at Columbia while he was on a sabbatical leave, and now often teaches during the summer at the Uni- versity of Southern California. His favorite forms of relaxation are handball, travel, and writing. I like to teach because I like students, says this enthusiastic professor. He is a member of Beta Gamma Sigma, honorary business fraternity and has written a book on the federal reserve system. Glee Smith. I ' d rather teach history than do anything else I can think of. This pleasant statement of a grateful debt to life is that of C. B. Realey, pro- fessor of history at the University of Kansas since 1927. A native of Philadelphia, our scholar planned to enter business and was graduated from Pennsylvania U. with a B. S. in economics in 1923. However, his- tory soon triumphed, and he returned to his alma mater to complete his master ' s in 1925 and his Ph. D. in 1931. Mr. Realey ' s summers are usually spent in research either in Europe or in our Eastern cities. He is constantly seeking a balance of research and teaching, or intake and output. Leisure, as well as work, consists of reading, and in the vast field of literature he plays no favorites. He prefers Lawrence to any place that he has seen and enjoys K. U. students because of their cooperative attitude. His many pupils verify the mutuality of this respect and pleasure. Jim Surface. Since 1905 things have been happening for Prof. John Erskine Hankins. Born in South Carolina, he attended the state university there, sandwiching debate, oratory, band, chairmanship of the Honor System, and editorship of The Garnet and Black among other activities before receiving his M. A. in 1925. A year of teaching at his alma mater, three years at Yale for his Ph. D., holding a Sterling Research Fellowship his last year, and a year on the faculty of Indiana State Teachers College, preceded his arrival at K. U. in 1930. Conducting popular courses in literature and rhetoric. Prof. Han- kins has also written several scholarly magazine articles and hooka. Prof. Hankins vacations at Lake Thompson, Maine, with his wife and three children. Swimming, playing the harmonica, and composing songs in imitation of Negro spirituals, never printed, keep this friendly professor (recently initiated into the alumni of South Carolina ' s Phi Beta Kappa) as young as he appears. Lloyd W. W oodburn. They took my picture with Demosthenes! laughed Miss Mary Grant, whose cheerful informality has brightened all her work upon the Hill. Miss Grant, professor in the Latin and Greek Department and teacher of outstanding courses in Greek Culture has traveled extensively in Europe, is keenly interested in the University Greek Museum and maintains a collection of Greek stamps on the side. She is an active member of Pi Lambda Theta and has twice been elected president of Phi Beta Kappa here. Miss Grant was an undergraduate at K. U. and received her Ph. D. at the University of Wisconsin, studying also at Bryn Mawr and the American Academies at Rome and Athens. Her courses in Greek drama and Greek sculpture are gaining notice among K. U. students. A seasoned traveler, Miss Grant enjoyed especially her voyage to Troy in 1936. Her party left Athens in a little Greek steamer, visiting, by means of life boats, scores of ancient ruins, including a remote moun- tain temple in which they passed the night. I ' ve visited almost all the spots Odysseus touched, she smiled, except the Land of the African Lotus-Eaters and then of course, there ' s Hades! Lloyd W. Woodburn. A local boy makes good in front of the home folks. Professor J. D. Stranatban of the department of physics was born in Missouri but moved to Kansas to be shown early in his boyhood. The Jayhawker history of this genial unassuming scientist whom we now consider favorite son dates from this westward movement. Jim was not aware of his real predestination of profession and was graduated from K. U. with a degree in electrical engineering in 1921. After a summer with General Electric, he returned to Ml. Oread to begin what is now a nineteen-year career as physics teacher. Mile- stones along his pedagogical path include a master ' s from K. U. in 1924 and a Ph. D. in 1928 from Chicago U., both in physics. His recreations show favoritism toward tennis, golf, and ping pong and detective stories. The Stranathans, including a 17-year-old daughter, spend sum- seeing America first. Mr. Stranathan, according to testimony of his students, presents a complex subject simply. Jim Surface.

IS THE J V Y II V W K K R II ill ' !! Ill ill NOTES l,v The ' ol swimmin ' hole of the Campus has become pre- eminently a rendezvous for golf balls. Owing its existence to a need for fire prevention, thirty-year-old Potter ' s lake has been throughout the years a photogenic glamour spot. It was named after Thomas H. Potter, a former member of the Board of Regents, and MUMERT was called until recent years, Potter Lake. In those days the city power plant couldn ' t supply Mount Oread with huge quantities of water. So a natural hollow in Marvin Grove was dammed, and it filled with water drained from surrounding slopes. Behind the dam they built a small pump house which could pump the water up to the University power plant in case of fire. When the city plant was able to supply the University with sufficient pressure, the Board of Health ordered the lake pipeline dismantled to avoid contamination of the University water supply. During summer sessions the lake became the ol ' swimmin ' hole. It never approached the idyllic seclusion of the one back on the farm where, on hot summer afternons, you peeled off apparel in half a second flat and yelled, Last one in is a sissy (or old maid). It became, instead, the accepted bathing pool of the Campus. The department of physical edu- cation supervised. Printed rules informed stu- dents that among other things no ducking, rowdyism, swearing or obscene talk would be permitted, and that All bathers must wear dark- colored, neat and proper clothes. For a few short weeks this winter the ring of steel on ice hovered over Potter ' s lake. Soon grade-schools boys may splash about sporadic- ally, skip rocks with murmurs of appreciation and speculate about fish. Now and then the single fisherman may cast his line hopefully among the cat tails. But if you walk down to Potter ' s lake some late afternoon you ' ll know that quiet really has come for the summer. Only the occasional golf ball splashes in the water. The ripples expand and Snow Hall gleams again from its idle surface. Finals, nervous breakdowns, graduation, and the cold, cruel world may be impending, but life is tranquil here at the University compared with 1936. That was the year women began advanc- ing coyly to the cash register. With the reforming zeal of the 1880 ' s the W. S. G. A. and M. S. C. sat in solemn sessions and revealed horror of horrors during the first windy week in March, a conspiracy for Dutch Dating. And there it was, spring and all! Said they: Resolved: That in order to promote a bettor spirit of comradeship between students at the University of Kansas, the W. S. G. A. and M. S. C. declare that the policy be followed from here and after March 20, 1936, in relation to social engagements between men and women students shall be on an equal financial h;i i . The woman was to pay! It was plain to all that a new way of life had begun. Having sold themselves on the idea the govern- ing bodies felt more or less obligated to help the students realize the great benefits. They a I i-cd the women to be sensible about the whole affair. They advised the men to be sensible. They ad- vised everyone to be sensible. Advantages were to include: (a) women en- abled to select place of entertainment; (b) (Continued on Page 408) 18SOH36 J940 the problem u a. thp namr. I, . ., ' .

After the first blaze of dandelions is gone, when Spring has come back to fill out her first hurried dabs then is the time when the Grove draws into it-elf and becomes a separate country. The buildings along the Hill ' s edge seem like remote castles, mere background for the tree-screened lusliness of this green ami pleasant world.

He leaned against the car and slowly wiped his forehead. Dad, he said, let ' s drive across the Hill before we leave. All right, son. It ' s about the last time you ' ll see the old place for a while, isn ' t it? Yes. Jeff shook hands with everybody and promised everybody he ' d write and begged the same promises in turn. Then he climbed in beside his father, wearily, reluctantly. He looked back to wave as they left friends and house now nothing but a fading picture, framed in a back window. It was a picture lie knew he could never forget. Now they were pushing up the brick slope of Twelfth Street, turning South on Oread, rolling along the empty street, crossing Thirteenth.

He leaned back, too, to catch a glimpse of massive, neo-Gothic Hoch Auditorium, on the other side. . . . Then the engineering building, browned by sun and wind, and the slight frame structure devoted to astronomy. . . . The University was behind them. Jeff turned to look lurk, down the length of Uni- versity Drive now so bare of human life, but for him so crowded full of memories. He knew ih.it part of his life was slipping he could see it, in front of his eyes, slipping out of his grasp and it could never be brought back. . . . The car bumped along the sandy road to the south, throwing up great clouds of dust behind. Jeff broke the silence. believer you get tired, Dad. I ' ll take over. His father nodded. MAY 1940 395 ling ' Swing SOME GOOD MUSIC BUT THAT ' S ABOUT ALL (Drawing by Andy Darling, paused by W. S. G. A. Censors.) Once in a blue moon, someone, somewhere produces an entertaining musical review. But the blue moon, definitely, was not shining on the nights of April 23, 24 and 25, 1940, when Sing ' n Swing took to the boards of Fraser theater on Mount Oread. Never has that ancient shelter of the dramatic arts housed such a terrifying array of musicians, crooners and actors. Briefly the show resembled nothing so much as a combination of the Gayety theater ' s beefy line (purified of course), Major Bowes amateur show and a high school kid party. The high spots were so isolated and so rare that they gleamed diamond-like out of the morass of superfluous specialties that surrounded them. Though Larry David appeared only once on the stage and though he said not a word in that inimitable Valley Stream, N. Y., dialect of his, he absolutely stole the show as he gamboled through a common-place ballet scene in a rip- roaring takeoff of all ballet danseuses and dan- seurs. If he had roamed through the other scenes as well he might have saved the whole show instead of a single act. Billie Doris Jarboe, a newcomer to the campus this semester, had a remarkable tap routine that drew sufficient applause to enable her to repeat part of it. Barbara Edmonds, local vocal lass, sang Bud Balzer ' s Where Am I? with credit to herself and the composer. And Warren Little- julm. colored dancer, brought down the house with his rapid-fire tapping. Bud Balzer, South Dakota ' s scanty-fuzzed con- tribution to Mount Oread ' s population, wrote several swell numbers for the show though it would require a more facile-musical mind than ours to be able to whistle them in the street. It ' s a Dull World, I ' ve Got a Place in My Heart, You ' ve Got Me in a Spin, and Where Am I? from the Balzer pen bore striking pro- fessional characteristics even to the grammati- cal errors in the titles. But now for the dirt- Public Entertainment Enemy Number One If Adolf Hitler is a while-winged harbinger of peace and brotherly love then Rolla Nuckles is a master of ceremonies. Brother Nuckles ap- peared in the last half of the show as the emree of a spontaneous program on board the good ship something-or-other. The program, as he presented it, had all the spontaneity of an Epis- copalian marriage ceremony. P. E. E. Number Two The Modern Choir appeared three times during the evening each time no better than the last. Ross Robertson has in the past produced some excellent choral groups but his 1940 model is definitely lacking. Some of the responsibility for its downfall can he placed on the arrangements it attempts to read. The harmonies dictated by the scores may be all right but they are too fine and intricate to be mastered by any amateur organization. The group did look nice despite some hideous makeup work. Let it be said that it was exceedingly obvious that the entire white cast was selected not for its talent but because of some sort of social or fra- ternal affiliation. The chorus, which contained some attractive girls, also held a large propor- tion of females whose sole cause for being a part of the group was the fact that they must have been good friends of the producers or director. A good word must be said, in closing, for James Brown, who threw his whole heart and soul into a remarkable imitation of Louie Ann- strong and his trumpet work. K. E. P. 346 T H K J 1 II K.

The law school is a building, an association, and a history. It is a building with four pillars, eight front steps, and a library of 29,000 volumes. It is an association of eight faculty members and a student body of one hundred men and half a dozen women. It is the history of the men who have built it. Judge Nelson Timothy Stephens, a New En- gland lawyer, was ready to retire when he emigrated with his family to Lawrence after the war. But Kansas seemed to agree with him; and, his health restored, he became a leader in the community in which the state university had recently been established. He saw the need of a law curriculum; and through his efforts largely, the school was established in 1878. Judge Stephens declined to become the first dean. Instead, his son-in-law, a young man named James Woods Green, was chosen. This fellow was a forceful character. During his forty years as dean, he made many friends and at least one bitter enemy. He received the adula- tion of his students, who bestowed upon him the name of Uncle Jimmy. When built in 1906 the new law building was named Green Hall. And after his death, his boys subscribed large sums to raise the statue now in front of Green Hall. Yet his sister-in-law, Kate Stephens, the daugh- ter of Judge Stephens, whose writings about the early life of the University are famous, saw in Uncle Jimmy a vain man who snatched glory to himself where it was not due and who charmed his followers after the manner of a paid clacque. She even wrote a book about it, and called it The Truth Behind the Uncle Jimmy Myth. Whether her charges are true or not, it remains that this man ' s influence on early legal education 397 in this state was great. Dr. W. L. Burdick, dean emeritus of the law school, came to this University as a teacher of law before the turn of the century, and is completing now almost half a century of service to this school. His is a record of scholarship and counsel and continuous service that cannot be equall ed in many schools. Next year he will retire from active teaching. His eightieth birthday this year was occasion for the celebra- tion of the law school banquet in his honor, and Burdick Day is to be an annual affair. The many men who have served the law school at various times as teachers and deans cannot be named. The faculty members now are Dr. Burdick, Dean Moreau, and Professors Brockel- bank, Davis, Lesar, Smith, Tupy, and Viessel- mann. (Continued on Page 405) Above, loirs banqueting. . . . Beloif.

THE JAY H A W K K U by CHUCK ELLIOTT MllilllllULS by LILLIAN FISHER May 15 This spring the softball season had no sooner gained an opening day than numerous following games were postponed due to rain and wet grounds. Consequently the completion of the schedule was two weeks distant at press time and the following data is highly, if not entirely, presumptive. In Division I the Galloping Dominoes and the Hillside Club were leading the pack to the play- offs. In Divisions II and IV the A. K. Psis and the Phi Psis were proving to be the best in their respective groups. Division III was experiencing the closest race with the Sig Alphs favored over the Betas by a small margin. The leading two teams from each division were eligible for the play-offs which determined the outstanding softball aggregation. The team events of the spring season included golf, tennis, and horseshoes. In tennis the Phi Delts and Betas were favored to be finalists with the Phi Psis offering the stiffest competition of the remaining teams. In horseshoes the Gallop- ing Dominoes and Delta Tau Delta figured to toss it out at the pits for first place with the Kappa Sigs, Betas, and Phi Delts running in the next group. On the links the Phi Delts were favorites to cop the laurels with the most oppo- sition coming from the Betas, Phi Psis, and the Galloping Dominoes. A dozen unusually strong racket wielders reached the final drawings in the individual tennis tournament concluded last week. Mal- colm Black, this year ' s fall winner, and Earle Radford. finalist last spring, led Marvin Sollen- berger and Si Hershorn, two Ark Valley aces, as pre-tourney favorites. The Phi Delts placed a contingent of five men led by Bill McKinley and Charlie Walker in the finals of the court event. Betas Ed Wienecke and Earle Radford were overwhelming favorites to reach the finals of the handball meet which was captured by Wienecke last spring. Bill McKinley was the only other entry given an outside chance of coming through to victory. (Continued on Page 409) May 15 The Kappas and Hitler both use the blitzkrieg. The Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority sisters entered into the intramural race just that way and beat the Pi Beta Phi women from win- ning their fourth straight grand championship. All indications a month ago were pointing to the arrow girls to repeat their usual victory march. But the keys of the Kappas must be master keys for they opened the door to victory in almost every spring sport. It started when Mary Beth Dodge won the aerial darts contest. Ellen Irwin came through to win the ping-pong singles championship. Shir- ley Irwin and Norma Tibbets teamed together to walk away with the ping-pong doubles honors. The Kappa baseball team is staying in with the best of them, for many points on the diamond. Although the Pi Phi ' s tossed better horseshoes in the fall, the Kappas are tossing ringers consistently. Of course, the season is not over yet by a long shot, but the standings of the top teams now are as follows: Kappa Kappa Gamma, SPS 1 ; Pi Beta Phi, 780; Corbin Hall, 410; Chi Omega, 377; IWW, 353; TNT, 359 ; Kappa Alpha Theta, 334; Watkins Hall, 317; IND, 315l 2 ; and Alpha Chi Omega, 303. A complete summary of the year ' s winners are as follows: volleyball was won by the IWW, independent team. Fall horseshoes as well as golf were won by the Pi Beta Phi house. Mary Lewis was medallist. Betty Lou Current hit the bull ' s eye with Robin Hood ' s deadly aim, as she shot a victory by a large margin for the Chi Omega ' s. Lois Wisler, independent playing for the IND team, batted the handball to win the title. Pi Phi ' s came back to win the tennis matches. Virginia Anderson and Bill Howard won the mixed tennis doubles. (This was new this year.) Betty Van Arsdale netted a high score to become tennis singles champion. In the middle of winter the Corbin Hall team hooped the basketball championship. With (Continued on Page 409) MAY 1940 403 THE Wit A. BOOK EXCHANGE . . . Photo by Ed Garich The W. S. G. A. Book Exchange was started about thirty years ago. Its first home was in Eraser Hall, but as it grew larger it moved from one place to another. It was in the library at one time, until later, when the Union Building was available for it. In its early days it was only operated for a short time at the beginning of the semester. Now it remains open throughout the semester, each school day from 9:30 to 4:30. Until the Book Exchange had enough working capital to purchase the books outright, they were handled on a commission basis. The student left the price desired, and the Book Exchange retained 10 per cent for its servi ces when the book was sold. This necessitated an involved bookkeeping system. Another difficulty was the student who would leave a book and come back for the money three years later. A peculiar rule of the old days, which has also been done away with, was that only four books of a kind were to be kept on band. Factors that figure in price determination are con- dition of book, quantity on hand, the publishing date, and whether or not the book will be used that semester or carried over until the next. This year for the first time students found what to do with books that were no longer used here and which, consequently, found no market at the Book Exchange. An agent of a company dealing in used books was here at the end of last semester and will be here June 3 to 6. Another thing accomplished this year by the Book Exchange was the $5,000 W. S. G. A. Scholarship Fund established for women students. This is a surplus that has been accumu- lated during the thirty years of the Book Exchange ' s existence. Helen Pierce was manager this year. She and four associates have worked during the whole semester. During the rush seasons about twelve are needed to handle the $1500-a-day business. (They take in this much, having probably paid out $1250 for the books.) Of this time of the year, Helen says, I ' m always glad to see the rush season come and mighty glad when it ' s over.

Out at San Francisco ' s Fair they ' ll be wearing a lot of the pop- ular gabardine, poplin, and cotton slack-sport shirt combinations. In- formality being more the rule than the exception along the Fair ' s famous Midway, these comfortable ensembles in colors of brown, tan, green, cream, and beige are most seen and most in demand. Or, for evening wear you ' ll shine, but not be too conspicuous in coat - slack combination in contrasting colors and of such weaves as herring- bones, flannels, summer coverts, gabardines, and cavalry twill. Ties, sox, and handkerchiefs of loud colors divert sightse ers ' atten- tion from the Tower of the Sun, too. If you can ' t get what you want in these suggestions at Ober ' s, try Woolf Brothers in Kansas City, or vice versa. Their selections are in tune with all of this. There ' s not much change in the long hop from the West Coast to New York ' s fair, but noticeable are the dressier effects seen in suits of summer covert, tweeds and chev- iots, predominantly tailored in the new blue haze ' color. Sloucher type slacks with wider knees and narrower bottoms look good, and the coats feature tapered sleeves and lower set collars and pockets. Bucks are straight and plain except for the center vent. But you don ' t need to go to New York to outfit yourself in these snappy styles, for Carl ' s have just what you ' re after. Shirts are mostly white or with stripes, in round tab. Duke of Kent, or long pointed collars, and Carl ' s can show you plenty of them in your favorite selections. Seen and to-be-seen around: At the Grand Canyon polo and sport shirts in plain and intricately- designed styles; slacks in Palm Beach, gabardine, twill, and rot- ton; no hat, and rubber soled shoes. At Catalina Palm Beach, flannel, and gabardine suits and combinations in cream, tan, and pastel green, blue, and grey shades; some might have come from Ober ' s, who are featuring them now. At Glacier Park ' s Swiss hotel ballrooms the conventional sum- mer formal such as Woolf Brothers are showing, of tux slacks in flan- nel or black Palm Beach, white silk double-breasted coats, or sin- gle-breasted with a cummerbund, or the formal tan, with shawl lapels; patent leather pumps; stiff shirts and collars worn down. At anyplace clothes embodying com- fort and screaming with loud, sum- mery colors. . . . Holiday . . .

(Continued from Page 342) appointment as brothers Wayne and Blaine Rideout of North Texas Teachers, turned the feature event into a family affair as Blaine romped home with a new mark of 4:10.1, a length ahead of Wayne. Archie San Romani and Glen Cunningham crossed the finish line in third and fourth positions. Even in defeat Cunningham re- ceived the greatest cheers from the crowd as he made his final ges- ture on the Memorial Stadium track. The most thrilling event of the day for Jayhawk followers was the mile rela y. The Kansas mile relay team was nosed out of first place by the fast University of Minnesota foursome. Trailing somewhat at the beginning of the last leg, Kenny Hamilton, husky Jayhawk anchorman, turned on the power in the engine room and ate up the margin separating him from the first place Gopher in the last event on the day ' s card. The Jayhawkers also picked up points in the pole vault, the dis- tance medley relay, and the 440- yard relay. Jack O ' Hara roamed the Kansas atmosphere at 12 feet 9 inches to enter a three-way tie for third in that event. The Uni- versity distance medley team trailed the Missouri and Oklahoma A M crews to the tape for a third and the Mt. Oread 440 team placed fourth in the first heat of their specialty. Abilene Christian College opened the attack on the record books early in the afternoon as they brought the baton home in 7:48.4 to erase the old mark of 7:50 set in 1933 for the two-mile college relay. The University of Oklahoma sprint medley team also climbed into the record-smashing ranks as they fought off Nebraska ' s chal- lenge on the final stretch. The sooners mark of 3:25.3 shaded the one set by Rice Institute in 1938. Baker turned in the other rec- ord - breaking performance when they established a new mark in the college invitation sprint medley with the time of 3:36.7 to register the last new entry in the books. . . Briefing Caws, Plus . . (Continued from Page 3V ) Something should be eaid for the students who lean against the pil- lars, drape themselves upon the steps, and read many of the 29,000 volumes. Theirs is a busy life of briefing cases, writing articles for the state bar journal, arguing cases in moot court, reviewing for finals, and finally taking the state bar exami- nation. If they are clannish, it is because they have a common pur- pose to which they have devoted two or three of the best years ' in further study. And the spirit which moves the seniors to carry canes, and makes the laws don white gloves and go to the Kansas State game en masse, is the same spirit which later will weld them all together in service to their chosen profession.

This year, in the Missouri Valley meet, Mac Wynne and Bob Sullivan, Leo Rhodes and Bob McKay slammed the other forty-four debaters to a fare-you-well, and returned home with first honors. At Denver, Emmet Park and John Stewart won every contest, and Mac Wynne and Irving Ku- raner dropped only one debate in five, to tie the squad for first honors with Southern California. The man who guides debate destiny has a desk in the speech office labeled Professor E. C. Buehler. He would probably like to be known as Professor Buehler. but he is generally called Bill. The class of 1940 is fortunate, says the professor, in rare good humor, I ' ve elevated one of their number to the ' Hall of Fame. ' What Buehler means is that Leo Rhodes, b ' 40, having been judged the No. 1 individual debater in the Austin, Texas, tournament, and the No. 1 individual debater in the Missouri Valley, has become an Oread immortal. This Hall of Fame (which exists in Prof. Buehler ' s imagina- tion, of course) is more exclu i e than the Harvard Hasty Pudding Club. Four men before Rhode have made the grade. David Evans, c ' 30, Fred Anderson, 1 ' 31. Burton K iii-lim . 1 ' 32, and Charlie Hack- ler, c ' 35, they are. But elevating people to the Hall of Fame takes very little time. On the other hand, this month, for instance, Buehler has been answering letters by the score from ambitious high school de- baters; they want to know how to go about becoming debaters at this marvelous Mt. Oread institution. There ' s just one way, he says. Serve an apprenticeship of a year on the freshman squad, and then manage to be selected as a varsity debater. Anyway, fellow arguers of Kan- sas, we have proved that the K. U. debaters are carrying on one of the mellow traditions of this siintiv clime, When we can no longer talk, we shall die. . .

Seven firsts in 15 events weren ' t enough for the Kansas trackmen in their first dual meet of the year on May 4 with Kansas State, and the Jayhawks fell before the Wildcats by a score of 82l 2 to 48l 2 - Next, the Missouri Tigers conquered Kansas 76% to 54% at Columbia on May 11. Darrell Mathes, junior sprint star, was not only high point man, but also set a new meet rec- ord of 9.7 for the 100-yard dash. Twins of the spring sports sea- son were Coach William Shannon ' s golfers and Coach Dutch Uhrlaub ' s tennis men. Howard Engleman, blonde bomber from Arkansas City, was the number one man on this year ' s tennis team. Kermit Franks played in the second spot with Jack Floyd the third man and Connie Voelker the fourth. Dean Ritchie, Kansas amateur champion, led the golfers, while the rest of the squad w as composed of Rod- erick Wakeland, Bill McElhenny, Bob LaGree, and Bill Grav. Defying a downpour of rain which stood an inch deep on many of the greens, the Kansas linksmen scored their fifth victory of the season on May 7 in defeating Washburn in the second encounter between the two teams. The tennis matches were rained out. Mis- souri ' s golfers trounced Kansas by a 14 to 4 score in Columbia on May 11, but the Jayhawk tennis team succeeded in tying the Tiger netnien. The climax of the spring sports year was reached by the Jayhawk track, tennis, and golf teams at the Big Six meet in Lincoln on May 18. The track and tennis entries finished in fifth place, while the defending champion golfers lost their crown to Iowa State and dropped into a tie for third place with Nebraska. . . If the Time Comes . . (Continued from Page 345) But these are pop-gun parades, merely frosting on the cake, Few of the men take their shiny sabers too, too seriously. There are, however, awards which the men do value ii-ii- mniii.il- to their abilities as lead- ers: rankings as officers in the unit, command of or membership in the best-drilled platoon, lettered sweat- ers for marksmanship on the rifle team, and a saber presented to the outstanding junior man. Presenta- tion of medals and citations for superior work are made by Col. Karl F. Baldwin, commander of the unit, at the last parade of each year. The training course provides an elementary military education. But it does something more than that. As Colonel Baldwin who has seen the enrollment change from 280 in 1936 to its present high of 460 said recently, First purpose of the R.O.T. C. is to provide trained leaders for a case of na- tional emergency. But graduates have frequently told me that the principles of discipline and leader- ship learned here have proved valuable in business and profes- sional occupations. That Life Insurance is the item of greatest value in the list of assets of estates in the aggregate that are filed for probate. Young people are wise if they make this their first investment. It is the item of surest value in building an estate. It is cash on the barrelhead at maturity, and its value increases from year to year through the inevitable law of compound interest.

But they had asked the women to be sensible. They were. The old excuse, Sorry, I have to study, turned to the plaintive, I ' m so sorry . . . but I ' m broke ... Apparently men had been surreptitiously paying their dates ' way. Now they began doing it openly. The hoped-for era turned into an episode. The bubble was pricked, the apple cart turned over.

And, dramatically speaking, there is hardly any need to mention our appreciation for the fact that Professor Allen Craf- toii so successfully made the back- ground of Lawrence history seem immediate and interesting. Bill Koester has transformed the men ' s fashions column into a real men ' s fashions column an out- standing accomplishment. Betty McVey has put such pep and orig- inality into women ' s fashions as was not seen before. Jean Boswell has made the Hangouts column something alive and different each issue, which is good work indeed. Mary Lou Randall has written briefly and well about the social wheel. And Betty Coulson, though she says she doesn ' t like gossip col- umns, has nevertheless done a smartly written job of the Back Fence this year. And there are other things to say about other people things that can ' t be said adequately. Thanks to Secretary Marian Springer who was always ready, willing, and able to do the exasper- ating little things that make the way rough. Thanks to Dorothy Schroeter for her willingness to work and learn. Thanks to such people as Mary Frances McAnaw, John Wells, Jay Voran, Fred Rob- ertson, Ruth Rice, Don Welty, John Conard, Seward Fleeson, and all the others who helped. Thanks and here is where the biggest feeling comes in the fewest words to the three men who have really put out the issues when the staff got through. Bob Maplesden, college annual adviser for Burger- Baird Engraving Company, sane judge of pictures and of people, salesman and humorist, philoso- pher and friend. Dos Merillat, direct, able, dependable, likable sales manager for Capper Print- ing Company. And Capper ' s Bob Meek, quick, clear-headed, affable, patient, an expert in typography and make-up.

The two hang-over winter events unreported are volley ball and swimming where favorites came through as predicted. In volley- ball the D. U.

Vir- gil Wise, Sigma Nu, raptured the diving, but individual honors went to Bill M. ic k i. who took firsts in the fifty-yard breast-stroke and one-hundred free style. The race for the sweepstakes cup was exceedingly close at the con- clusion of the winter season. The Betas were leading the Galloping Dominoes by fifty points which was the margin the Domino hoys held over the Phi Psis. These three teams finished in that order at the conclusion of all of last year ' s events. by LILLIAN FISHER Lenore Grizzell as captain and Vergie Ray, ex-state champion bas- ketball free - throw artist from Wichita University, as forward, they were off to a good advantage. Pi Beta Phi came back to win its last victory in the swimming meet. They have won the acqua- dian contest for several years in succession. But after that, the Pi Phi ' s dropped, and the Kappas stepped up their pace. In the basketball free throw and also in deck tennis singles, Evelyn Herriman, playing for the IWW team, took top honors. Ellen Irwin, Kappa, added more points to her house list. Golf, archery, badminton, horse- shoes, baseball, and tennis doubles are still being played. They will continue until the last of school.
