If you are planning a dinner party or group social affair of any kind le sure you investigate Weideinann new banquet room with the modernistic fur- nishings. That old stand-by of places to go, with the addition of the new room, plus the usual facilities downstairs (booths plus dance floor), will certainly be more than ever before the place to go, for it ' s smart to be seen at Weidemann ' s. If you ' re in a car. best cruise down Indiana Street to the Hill- side, which has undoubtedly the best lime cokes in town. You ' ll probably recognize a couple of the convertibles outside as those of Theta Dorothy Jean Roberts and Sigma Chi Larry Smith. There ' s nothing new about the Hillside except the chubby new curb hop, but it gets most of the drive-in business. Inciden- tally, you can buy drugs there. Are you looking for a Pi Phi? You ' ll come a lot nearer finding her at the Union Fountain than you will at the Arrow Lodge. The Fountain is frequented by class cutters who spend their hours listening to the fine selec- tion of records on the machine there. Familiar faces are those of Trapper Leo Johnstone, Beta, and charming Pi Phi Eleanor Cavert with Phi Delt Harold Haney. The Fountain is always jammed at intermis- sions, and you can have fun watching Gamma Phi Adalyn Cast entertain her date.

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
