If the reader goes farther, he ' ll see what we mean. THE JAY HAWKER h e said. I guess K.U. is one of the most sophisticated Universities I ' ve ever seen. A paradox, those words. K.U. sophisticated? Are little-girl-looking women in anklets sophis- ticated? Are snowball fights in winter sophisti- cated? And fellows who drive jallopies? And midnight pep rallies? Crew cuts? And picnics? Possibly not. But the man who said K.U. is sophisticated was right. On the surface, perhaps, the fact is covered with a film of unconvincing evidence. Tailors, cigarette hold- ers, butlers, cafe society, ermine evening wraps, and social registers all the erroneous com- ponents of the word sophistication - - are little more than legend to the majority of on- the-Kaw students. But underneath in outlook, in spirit - the Hill is not blind, not naive. If it avoids cynicism, it at least knows the score. Primarily, the author of Mount Oread ' s new cut caption had the authority to make such a statement. He knows not only the external appearances, but also the inner, very heart of hundreds of Universities and colleges. Secondly, consider the origin of the word sophistication. It sprang from the Sophists of Socrates ' age w r ho preached wise rather than aristocratic citizenship and sane enjoyment of life rather than foolish smart living. Socrates would have said K.U. ' s intramural playing, hiking, picnicking, hard-to-convince students were sophisticated. And Socrates should know - he started the word. Yes, Hill students can be called sophisticated because the word applies to those who are worldly wise, not to those who are worldly. Joe and Jane from a small Kansas town may not know the exact amount to tip a doorman at the Waldorf, but they know that this war is not a blaze of glory and banners. They realize that just because a man is president, or governor, or chancellor he is not neces- sarily perfect. They won ' t follow blindly the dictates of any student body or any administration. They have a clear idea of what goes on behind any number of scenes. They will hiss, jeer, or shout if necessary when they don ' t like that behind- the-scenes action. They know that there are minor crooks, hyprocrites, and unmention- ables even in a state University. They can see that there are even more persons of the same caliber outside the University walls. They know that there is vice and graft and corruption. In fact, most of them can recog- nize it when it appears. But the majority have tasted sophistication to its very core. They don ' t allow themselves to be led willy-nilly into any new phase of life that may appear. They see, watch, hear, and feel every aspect of life. If they think they are being blind- folded into anything, they will tear off that blindfold. Yes, a Hill student has few false illusions, but he isn ' t necessarily disillusioned. He knows that he doesn ' t have to be jaded and bored to be sophisticated. He knows that the most so- phisticated person is the one who knows enough about the world to take life the right way.

Trends, and Personalities of 1940-41 WASHINGTON by ERNEST K. LINDLEY r f 0 SAY that this is one of the most momentous - periods in history is becoming trite. Nevertheless, it seems to me to be inescapably true. The shape of things to come cannot be foretold. But we can see that any nation which is not a for- midable military power, or is not protected by a formidable military power, is inviting extinction. Reluctantly, but with at least a dim realization of the possibly disastrous consequences of any other course, the United States is converting itself again into an armed nation. In making personal plans the safest assumption to go on is that we will have a great rearmament pro- gram, accompanied by compulsory military training, for an indefinite time to come. The present selective service law may give way within a year or two to a system of universal service, requiring perhaps a year of military training of every young man and, con- ceivably, a shorter period of auxiliary train- ing of every girl. Such a period of national service could be meshed into our regular educational system. It might come in the twenty-first year, just before the voting age is reached. It might come in the 19th year in which case the voting age should be lowered. Any young man or woman who is old enough to be called upon for national service. military or non-military, is old enough to have a voice in determining national policies. I venture this qualified prophecy because I believe we are moving toward a system of total defense which will permit the quick mobilization of all of our resources for war. My own college e ducation was interrupted by a period of military training during World War I. I have always looked back on the experience as beneficial to me, as I think it was to nearly all the young men who entered the armed services at that time, excepting, of course, those who were killed or wounded in battle. It is extremely doubtful whether our national interests were sufficiently jeopardized to require our going to war in 1917. If the present war were merely a repetition of World War I, we could view it much more calmly than we are now justified in doing. But the present struggle has veered away from the pattern of 1914-17. It has become less and less a traditional imperialist war and more and more a conflict between systems of government and thought which can end only with the total defeat of one sys- tem or the other. Already we have had flung at us formally and openly the threat which has always haunted the minds of our statesmen and military strategists the threat of simultaneous attack from both oceans by an alliance of heavily armed states. The Grand Alliance cannot make good its threats to us until it has conquered Great Britain and China, whose usefulness as our outer lines of defense is now brought out in high relief. If Britain, in particular, stands with our non-belligerent aid we may avoid war. If Britain falls especially during the next year or two before we have rearmed we may have to fight for our very existence. And it is always possible that we will decide that it would be wiser for us to assure that the war is fought to a favorable conclusion at a safe distance from our shores. We may go to war. or be forced into it by attacks on our vital interests, within the next year or two. But our going to war is not inevitable. Especially if I were in college, I would make my plans on the assumption that going to war is not inevitable. I would keep in mind, also, that whatever else happens, this country is going to need more thoughtful, informed, and well-trained men and women than ever before in its history. For we are in a period when we must think with the clarity and boldness of the founders of the Republic.

OCTOBER 1940 17 75 1 e ENROLLMENT by JIM SURFACE THE last day, the last period, the last class, the last subject . . . the last straw ! This college student whose name must be- gin with S, IV, or Q is angry disgusted. Why couldn ' t he have been at least a C, V, or K? He knew from the day he first saw the schedule that he was doomed to diffi- culty in getting the classes he wanted. Soon after arriving on the enrollment floor, he com- pletely gave up all idea of an easy time. With groups to fill and requirements to meet, he finds all pipe courses naturally but nevertheless firmly closed. Now his desperate attempts to get into just any class are being repelled with the traditional efficiency of Dean Lawson ' s partners in crime. Of course there are a few Saturday classes open. But after all, he is a fees payer. He is accustomed to a five-day week. His self-respect means a lot to him. Meagre facts: here is an enrollee who for an entire hour has been thumbing a battered schedule frantically in quest of an available course only to see each of his findings close just as he dashes to the adviser for approval. He has filled out tens of little white cards. His fountain pen has scratched itself inkless. He may take any one of several mental em LINES attitudes, his choice revealing his character. As he glowers at Dean Lawson sitting smugly behind his desk, can he suppress the maniacal desire to cry out against the unjust system which makes him a slave of deans, advisers, and chairmen? Perhaps this young man will fly into a fit of anger, cursing God and the alphabet, stalk triumphantly off the floor, fiendishly plot a transfer to Baker University. Or he may withdraw into a sequestered corner of Robinson gymnasium alone, mum- bling and muttering to himself, nursing a per- secution complex. But no, our subject is a typical student. In the teeth of a gale of deans and advisers, he knows he must be typical. So a serenity of philosophical I-can-take-it aloofness takes hold. Inwardly he reminds himself that next semester the alphabetical arrangement will be changed. Then he can enroll early. He presents his card to the adviser, laughs at the feverish scramble by that one to find a mistake, gloats at the adviser ' s failure, passes the chairman successfully, and at 4:59 com- pletes enrollment in the 7:30 section of Early Morning Bird Calls. His victory is the victory of education over education. SIGNS RECLINES SHE SAYS Will by MARY LOU RANDALL OCTOBE lill T On t tin? he: moth 1 ing OCTOBER 1940 19 r T AS SWEET AS ITS P I N K TEAS RUSH WEEK IS BITTER, BUT MM r f HE forced buzz of conversation, the painted smile, the welter of emotions could only mean one thing Rush Week had come again. On the day of the teas the sorority active dug her six stock rushing questions out of the moth balls, and rejuvenated them with 1940 touches. Automatically she quoted the ques- tions to any rushee that was unlucky enough to fall into her hands. Secretly she hoped that none of the sisters would be around when she told her one good story for the tenth time. Despite her robot-like action, a few novelties of the Week made an impression on her toughened brain. In the first place, it was cool. The sororities felt like the Great Spirit had smiled on them, and for once comfortably displayed their winter duds. To the rushees it was a different story. Seeing no reason why this Rush Week should be any different from any other, they inconveniently left at home their winter even- ing wraps and fur coats. However, they did manage to get better acquainted with each other while hunting for blankets in the El- dridge Hotel. And a new topic was added to the conversation when the girls could look dreamily at the burning log in the fireplace, and tell about the campfires they used to have at good old Camp Minnehaha. The second change: There were fewer girls this year that wanted to join the promise to make or break you houses known as soror- ities. The scarcity in number brought about the happy situation of usually having two girls to entertain one lone rushee. This made the rushee feel very popular and caused the sorority girls to effervesce only half as hard. Another advantage for the sorority girls in their effort to manufacture conversation was that they could always talk to each other about the time they put fish in the president ' s bed, or the night they fell from the fourth step of the fire escape, or the morning that actives locked them in the fraternity room. In its hidden meaning the lack of girls made competition among the rushees less, and rivalry among the sororities greater. Lean and thin, the year brought on a frustrated inner feeling among the Greeks. Everywhere 20 felt, it was marked by half-sick grins and cheery words, Oh, we ' re getting along fine, to any inquiring outsider. Dramatic, but hardly sincere. No Grecian, especially a Grecian woman, is anxious to admit this point. It is definitely not a sales plug but rather leads up to the third change. Such quaint practices as spiking and hot boxes were perfected to a greater degree this year. In fact, the F.B.I, men have nothing on the K.U. girls when it comes to making the guilty person say the right thing. Immod- erately, the sugar-coated third degree hit an all-time high. Benefits probably accrue from such action since it causes both parties to think fast and furiously for at least fifteen minutes. Ironic indeed are Pan Hell rushing rules which prohibit any kind of pressure being put on a girl. Inadequate, too, was the release list plan. How do we know who we ' ll want to take by the end of the week? is the pin- wearer ' s defense. Leave every one at all ' possible ' on the list. We may get bumped. THE JAYHA.WKER And so they did get bumped, every one of them in varying degrees. Another startling incident occurred which was new to the author. For obvious reasons neither she nor her sorority sisters had perused that well-known but little-read pamphlet, the Rushing Rules. They leisurely prepared for a rushing date an hour later than the correct time. The visitors were therefore greeted by the housemother and houseman. This broke the monotony for the rushees, however, and enabled them to remember the house better. Knowing women, this senior has always con- sidered Rush Week an Eternal Miracle. In her wildest imagination she can hardly imagine thirty or more feminine minds agreeing on one individual of the same sex, let alone fifteen or twenty. Yet she has seen this phenomenon occur for four years and promise to continue for at least another four. The methods and the means are not always so miraculous as the re- sults especially when strong-minded and well- intentioned persons called alums are present. (AH Photos by Maurice Jackson] I lie v All Prepare Headaches and Heartaches . . . That ' s Rush Week ... But Once It ' s Over Everybody ' s Happy It is so hard to understand why women who are free to do what they wish return for Rush Week. Too much should not be said against them, however, for next year this senior will, no doubt, scrap together her summer earnings and gravitate toward Lawrence at Rush Week time. Her aim might be the innocent one of merely wishing to see all the girls once more, but then again sister or cousin might be hiding under her protective wing. At times like that Rush Week really seems important to a Greek almost as important as when she was a hand-trembling, purse- clutching, glove-fingering rushee. But in a long night meeting, tired, disgusted, sleepy, she finds it so easy to forget the real joys of a sisterhood carefully selected so easy to want nothing but eight hours or a week or a month of sleep. But days later when she finds herself eating, sleeping, and living with a new group of pledges, she forgets the horror of 4 a.m. ses- sions. Then it is that the pin-wearer tells everybody gleefully (and this time means it), We really got ' em this year. We really got ' em.

The Adventures of Junior in the Land of the Greeks by KEN LEWIS CHAPTER 1 1VTOW there was a certain man of Catarrh, in the land of Bismuth, and his name was Jehudi. And this man was of great wisdom, having read both the Book of Pinkham and the Catalog of Mail Orders during his span of sixty years. 2. And there was to Jehudi a wife and son and the name of this son was Jehudi, after the father, but most times called Junior. 3. And it came to pass that the son grew to the height of the parent and began to wheedle from him the family automobile, which he fetcheth in late and empty of liquid. Moreover he would lie abed even while the sun was high, and by these and many other ways did he plague the peace of the household. 4. Then the parent took counsel with the other parent and they did agree that it was time the son be sent forth to the state uni- versity in order that the calm be restored. 5. Thereupon did the young man depart in his new automobile of much camel-power, and he taketh with him radio, athletic sweater, and The Art of Bepartee, Ten Lessons Complete. CHAPTER 2 For two days and two nights did Jehudi follow the highway which led to the place of learning, then on the third morn he entered the city gates and checketh in at the hostelry. 2. But there were in the place spies of the houses of Sigma Nu and Phi Psi and Beta and ere he had removed his coat a host of stalwarts burst in upon him. And they said, Greetings, Jehudi, son of Jehudi, of the land of Bismuth. We are of the house of Beta and do bid thee friendly welcome. 3. And Jehudi was surprised for he heard not that the ways of the city were like this. Wherefore is it that ye know my name, sires? he asked. And the men called Beta said that they had long known of Jehudi, son of Jehudi. 4. Then came there down the hall the sound of footsteps and Jehudi thought to himself, Verily, a troop cometh, but it was only two Phi Psi ' s. 5. And they of Beta saith to the newcomers, Get thee hence and returneth later for we are first come. Thereupon the others gave reply by sigh but being of smaller number durst not tarry. They YELL ' Em in (All Photos by Ed Garich) PROMISES PUFFERIES PLEDGE BUTTONS They turn domestic Ship prospects out of town Show off the view aside I 6. Then the chiefest of the Beta ' s lay his hand onto Jehudi ' s shoulder and spake; and as the son listened he likewise marveled, for as much as the blessings shown unto him were truly of the land of milk and honey. 7. And Jehudi was pleased, saying, Dost thou say that these blessings may come to pass unto me? And they answered, Yea, it is thy birthright. CHAPTER 3 Then came a great commotion at the door and a face peeketh thru the transom; thus were the Beta ' s made to frown and mutter among themselves, for they of Phi Psi returneth. 2. And the corridor did so resound with their bodies that it seemeth a multitude was without. Then was the door opened and one of the number steppeth forth, saying, Ye have done thy due, now grant unto us ours. 3. Thereupon the Beta ' s taketh their leave, in turn smiling upon Jehudi and scowling upon the others, while they from the West hastened to bring the gospel to the son, who was sore confused. 4. Then spake the Phi Psi ' s in ringing words, Hearken ye not to they who came before us for they are publicans and sinners, and do roll up their pantlegs. 5. They teacheth that women are wicked. Yea, they have but mocked thee and thou hast done wrong to listen. 6. And Jehudi was sore afraid, say ing, Ipray thee, sires, how mayst I atone for my sin? 7. And the leader taketh from his pocket a button, saying, By this token ye shall serve penance. Wear it and suffer no more the com- pany of evil men. Therewith the Phi Psi ' s betook themselves away, rejoicing in their act. 8. Thus did it happen that Jehudi alone remained in the room but ere he could pause to clear his brow a person did appear from beneath the bed, and Jehudi was astonished with a great astonishment.

Then did the stranger address himself to Jehudi, Thou art surprised but ye must put aside thy incredulity for I am the bearer of ' Aih NllV raging wicked. iiid thou :, Ipray ny sin? pocket a ;i II siTU 1 thecom- hi Psi ' s heir act. di alone Id pause ar from tonished They are rushed or maybe bluffed. But once it ' s all over, blackball or acceptance follows and of course Recuperation. the true gospel which is Sigma Nu. Renounce these others for they are but tempters. Be thou attentive therefore whilst I set thee straight. 10. And Jehudi listened albeit he was sore confused. 11. Thereupon the stranger did proclaim the glories of Sigma Nu beside which the others measureth not, and as he spake he taketh from Jehudi the one button and putteth back another. 12. Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fat- ness of the earth, And of the dew of heaven from above ; 13. And by thy word shalt thou live, And serve thy brother; And it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, That thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck. 14.

Independent Groups Uuietlv Take Hold Deserving Men Have a Chance to Live Like by LILLIAN FISHER (All photos by Maurice Jackson) FOR years the idea that self-supporting men students could live in dingy rooms, exist on canned beans and bread, and work twelve hours a day held full sway in Lawrence. But two years ago Ernest H. Lindley, Chancellor- emeritus, began to carry out his plans for a residence hall scholarship for men. Across from Dr. Lindley ' s home on Four- teenth and Louisiana streets, stood a deserted house built in 1867. In the horse-and-buggy days, many fine carriages drove up the path shaded by stately trees, and left guests to be greeted by the master of Bryn-Wood. Years had passed since dances were held in the large parlors, and since logs crackled on cold winter nights in the huge marble fire- places. After seven decades, the old mansion stood deserted and useless an eyesore. Why not do something with it? Why not make a dormitory for men? How much would it cost? Who would donate money? Questions such as these ran through the mind of Dr. Lindley during his last year as Chancellor. He called together members of the Board of Regents, members of the Uni- versity Endowment Association, and other interested persons. Templin Hall was the plan conceived. Deserted Bryn-Wood would be remodeled and made into a dormitory for deserving men students. Costs would be met through volun- tary contributions by alumni of the University. Money poured into the office of Dean Olin Templin, chairman of the Endowment Asso- ciation, but not enough to meet the huge sum needed. Dean Templin carried out the original idea for the hall after Chancellor Lindley resigned Book, Chat, or Current Event all can be found in Battenfeld Library. from office. Thus the dormitory was named Templin Hall. Chancellor Deane W. Malott brought new zeal to Mt. Oread, and he worked tooth and nail to get the needed dormitories under construction. Mrs. Elizabeth M. Watkins, deceased, a great philanthropist to young people, bought and donated the property to the University. In her will she stated that her house was to be the home of the Chancellor, thus leaving the old chancellor-residence as another dormi- tory possibility Carruth Hall. Last fall, Mr. and Mrs. John Battenfeld of Kansas City, Mo., decided to erect a men ' s dormitory in memory of their son, John. Young Battenfeld was killed in an auto acci- dent while a student at the University. Now three contemplated halls could be added to the University in a short time if funds were quickly raised. Construction of Battenfeld Hall began last spring and re- Upper right: Templin Hall. Upper left: Battenfeld Lower: Carruth Hall modeling of Bryn-Wood and the old chan- cellor ' s house was started. This fall the three halls were ready for occupancy, and scholarships were awarded. One hundred eighteen men were chosen who had high scholastic standing, exceedingly good character, and need of financial help while attending college. Two weeks before school opened in Sep 1 tember, Mrs. Carlotta Nellis, director of men ' s dormitories, and housemother of Templin and Carruth Halls, held a two weeks ' cooking school for all of the men who had won the right to live in the halls. There self-supporters learned to use the electric mixers, the coffee urns, and the huge stoves that are in the kitchens. The three halls are all run on a similar plan of management. They are headed by C. H. Mullen, former president of the Men ' s Student Council, whose official title is head proctor. He has charge of the three halls each of which, in turn, has a proctor. Robert Tahnadge, c ' ll. is proctor at Carruth Hall which houses 26 men. Loren Withers, c ' 41, is proctor at Templin Hall which houses 40 men. Charles Todd, c ' 42, heads the men at Battenfeld Hall which has a residence list of 52. Mrs. Montgomery is housemother of Battenfeld. Mrs. Nellis acts as housemother for both Templin and Carruth Halls. Each proctor sees that shifts are posted, and that the men attend to their work in the Hall. There are shifts for cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner, making beds, scrubbing floors, dusting, and even for keeping the outside lawn looking neat. These shifts alternate often, and each man must do an extra hour ' s work every Saturday morning. The furniture in Templin and Carruth Halls was all designed by the students in Prof. G. M. Beal ' s classes of architecture. It was made by the National Youth Association and the Works Progress Administration furniture shops of Kansas. Tables and chairs, davenports, rock- ers, and settees, all made of natural, light oak upholstered with light tan leather, combine to make a striking, mannish appearance. On the third floor of Templin Hall is a sleeping porch with twenty double-deck beds. The green spreads on all of the beds were made by the Topeka NYA. Conspicuous in one corner of the porch is a low, double bed. This belongs to Valories Harlan, six-foot seven-inch freshman, who was too long to fit his assigned bed. When Mr. Woodard, the last master of Bryn-Wood, now Templin Hall, lived in the house, he built a special room to adjoin the parlor. That room has no windows, yet it is the best illuminated room in the house, because it boasts a glass roof. Originally the space was constructed to be Mr. Woodard ' s picture gal- lery, a home for his collection of fine pictures from all over the world. The pictures are now on the third floor of Frank Strong Hall, and the glass-roofed room is the library for Templin Hall men. Since Carruth Hall has no dining room, Carruth men eat at Templin. Templin Hall has a spacious dining room with ten round oak tables. Seventy persons can be seated. The basement of Templin is so large and has so many rooms that the initiative of the men has shown itself in making a recreation room, a dark room for developing photographs, a carpentry shop, and even a short wave radio station. The basement at Carruth Hall has been transformed into a well-equipped laundry which is almost constantly in use. While Templin and Carruth Halls had to be furnished with University funds, Batten- feld Hall was completely furnished by the donors. The parlor is a picture of comfort with soft-upholstered davenports in varying pastel shades, a mellowtoned Grand piano, novel knick-knack shelves and pictures on the walls. On the reading table are two beautifully de- signed bronze lamps. The statue of a snarling tiger looks almost real. The dining room of Battenfeld is unique. Tavern tables, Welsh cupboards, and lantern chandeliers combine to give a rustic effect. The kitchen of Battenfeld would be a haven of joy for any housewife. Thick aluminum pans hang spotlessly clean; cupboards are all labeled; and there is even an auxiliary ice box for melons and milk bottles. Each study room upstairs accommodates four boys. A table, chair, locker, and two drawers provide each man with everything he needs. A large mirror, around which the lockers and drawers are built, has electric plugs which can be used by those who own electric shavers. Battenfeld men have a pingpong table in the recreation room on the second floor. For more entertainment, they sing in all of their spare time. Dick Beahn, c ' 43, and Bob Collett, c ' 42, are capable songleaders. (Photos by Ed Garich) TTOW do you prefer being blown up? I ' d just as soon be blown up in an airplane if I ' m going to be blown up, says Prof. Earl D. Hay, charge d ' affaires of the University of Kansas branch of CAA. I guess that ' s the way most of the students feel this year. Last year, the first of World War II, stu- dents shied away from the CAA, and Wash- ington officials placed a minimum on the K.U. quota instead of a maximum. In spite of re- peated denials of militaristic designs on any prospective enrollees, students were skeptical and parents were reluctant to approve. This year the CAA wears no borrowed colors, frankly admits that it is the United States Air Corps ' kindergarten. Students who wear well enough to finish the advanced course go to Army ' s Randolph or Navy ' s Pensacola as second stage cadets. Yet business roars in Professor Hay ' s office, student application center. Last year ' s final J9 - by MICHAEL STEWART I-want-to-be-a-flyer ' total was exceeded in both primary and advanced courses two days before enrollment was closed. Primary training was wanted by 107; 47 sought the secondary. Application blanks this year allow no mis- cues. Students will find the civilian as out- moded as the bird-cage bustle. Ardent would- be flyers, who have at best a hike-warm affec- tion for military training, balk at the cold black and white statement near the bottom of the form, I pledge myself to enter the military service of the United States for further flight training, if I am qualified. However, disproving the old proverb that you can lead a horse to water, but you can ' t make him drink, CAA signs the majority to possible long term contracts. Number thirteen on the question sheet, To what use do you intend to put the train- ing received in this course? bludgeons its way to the obvious answer. It is followed by a space admirably suited for accommoda- tion of the short eight-letter word, military, that pertains to soldiers, arms, or war. With similar uni-choice ballots Herr Hitler held a foolproof plebiscite of his Reich, Vote Ja. CAA also finds that civilian trainees must be right in quantity as well as quality. Two hundred and one pounds are too much, and 114 pounds not enough. Tall, dark, and hand- Inside some gentlemen over 74 inches tall had better stoop, while shorter brethren must stretch to at least 61 inches. To an impartial observer such questions and specifications must seem strangely mis- placed in a CAA organization which many citizens still believe to be non-military. For, in marked contrast to last year ' s program which loudly and frequently proclaimed its civilian character, this year ' s program beats few drums for its pre-army training. Changes have been as little publicized as a family skeleton. In light of statements regarding the CAA uttered by United States authorities last year, many CAA officials should wear red faces for their complete turnabout this year. Professor Hay believes that students un- anxious to join last year because of the European war have grown accustomed to it, accept it as they accept their roommate ' s liberties with their clothing, as one of life ' s necessary evils. Although, the war situation has in reality grown much tenser, its novelty has waned. Students are coming out of their shells again. Most important factor in the increased en- rollment is, undoubtedly, passage of the Burke-Wadley universal conscription bill by the Senate and House of Representatives. Faced with the inevitable, many students pre- fer training for the air-service to that for other branches. CAA offers no pretty post office posters advertising See-the-World tours. Instead it depends on other elements to entice enrollees. All students completing their work at Ran- dolph or Pensacola hold commissions, receive officers ' privileges and pay. Commissions are earned much sooner in the Air Corps than in any other arm of the service because of the in- tensity of the training. Also CAA demands no routine drills like those of the R.O.T.C. corps so that training seldom becomes monotonous through repetition. Air Corps men find their service more remunerative than other branches. Constant improvements in aerial warcraft seem to give flyers better odds in the war- gamble than in other forms of active duty. CAA has not settled into a permanent pat- tern yet, but one thing is certain. The old civilian CAA is gone forever. Only the name remains. R. o. T. c., I ken U fi t by CHUCK ELLIOTT (Photos by Hal Ruppenihal) TF WAR comes to this country, what then? -- Oh, yes, propaganda like that is just an idle thought to tens of millions in this country, something to be put in the same category as breaking up atoms or having universal tele- vision, but to a few million people it ' s the real goods. As a result, the latter started a wide- spread preparedness movement that reached its culmination in the Burke- Wadsworth Con- scription Bill which went into effect the 16th of this month. The bill doesn ' t affect most college students but it causes many of their number to stop and ponder. This period of reflection brough about the biggest enrollment in the R.O.T.C. courses on Mount Oread since their inception in the fall of 1919. At that time it was necessary for Lieut-Col. Harold Burdick, late son of Dean W. L. Burdick, to do a little conscripting. Only thirty-odd men volunteered for instruction. After a canvass of the fraternity houses, an enrollment of 120 was reached in Coast Artillery, the only branch then offered. Lieut- Col. Burdick was the only commissioned officer on the scene and he had two non-coms to work with him. The boys for the next decade and a half believed their elder ' s illogical teachings that the world had been made safe for democracy. Why should they pack a rifle and slop through mud just to receive a mere hour ' s credit when they knew that war was a thing of the past as far as their life was concerned! But they didn ' t reckon with an addled German who at the time was a young World War corporal and who had more ideas for personal world power than a monkey has salt scales. Consequently, Mount Oread now boasts an R.O.T.C. unit of 723 men under voluntary training. This total is nearly double that of two years ago when 383 were enlisted, and a 56 per cent increase over last year ' s 462 men. Why should so many men suddenly decide to enter training? Not the thrill involved could be the answer, for who gets a kick out of being ordered to step lively, about face, or crawl on one ' s belly for a quarter of a mile lugging a heavy army rifle just to spot a tin can on a post by that barn southwest of the Hill? No, and the reason is not to show off their uniforms to the girls for many a sport coat has infinitely more cuddling capacities than a stiff blue serge coat with R.O.T.C. brightly lettered on the sleeve. True, there are a certain number who enter this subject due to their liking for the course or for a means of exerting authority which they otherwise would never experience. But by far the majority are enlisted in the Hill ' s army to ensure a higher spot in the regular army when the time comes that they must enter. And why shouldn ' t they have hopes higher than a buck-private? What good is a college education during these times if it doesn ' t give the ability to lead other men and be a little above the rank and file? Upon graduation from four years of R.O.T.C. training, a ranking of second lieutenant is given each man. This may not sound like much to men on rolling, peaceful plains under quiet, blue skies but in rain-soaked trenches and rending blasts every little bit helps. And the thoughts of the gun-toters on this Hill should be extremely pleasant indeed. After two hours of excruciatingly painful classwork and one hour of toe-tingling drill, the boys are at rest for the week. But soldiers-to-be on this Kansas plain also have their relaxation. Each semester they have a stag barbecue which is followed later by the Military Ball, highlight of the year. Col. Karl F. Baldwin and his five commis- sioned officers and two non-coms have pre- pared for the advanced enrollment by order- ing 220 new rifles and over 200 new uniforms. This brings the equipment to 630 rifles and about 765 uniforms with an all-round total equipment value of nearly $70,000. Voluntary drills are being held on Satur- day mornings and Monday evenings to facili- tate advancement of the 436 freshmen. Colonel Baldwin stated that in a questionnaire last year, 10 per cent of the freshmen were taking the course due to the war scare and he esti- mated a much larger percentage were taking the course for the same reason this year. Men with advanced standing in R.O.T.C. will not have to register for the draft and no one in college, Colonel Baldwin believes, will be drafted before July 1. Men starting in R.O.T.C., who will reach advanced standing before they are 21, will probably not be affected by the draft. If they are called, they will be sent to a training camp where their instruction will be completed at a more rapid rate. In Case They Are Needed, These Kansas Boys Will Be Beady ....

Reggie has held practically every position on the staff of the University Daily Kansan and last year caused any number of people discomfort as The Shinster of On the Shin. At present, he is Editor-in-Chief of the Sour Owl and Publisher of the Kansan. Managing to take some time from his journal- istic activities, Reggie is an active member of the Young Republicans Club in which he has held the office of secretary. His ambition: first, to see the Kansan be- come a truly representative papsr of the whole university; and second, to eventually become a successful small-town newspaper man. POLLY GOWANS (Pltoto by Maurice Jackson) HOLY COSMOPOLITAN of the year is Garoslav Jerry Holy, Czechoslovakian student. His record reads like a tour folder: graduated from Lycee, junior college at Dijon, France; undertook two years of medicine and two years of law at Charles University in Prague; followed with Evanston, Illinois, and two years of political science; now, far-jumped from Dijon to Lawrence-on-the-Kaw and the University of Kansas. Jerry speaks Czechoslovakian, French, Ger- man and English the latter with only a slight accent and an occasional how do you call it. Blonde, muscular, just short of six feet tall, Jerry chooses tennis as his favorite sport, but also plays basketball and participates in those things which everybody does ice skating, skiing, ping pong, and swimming. He likes America, finds things which shock me are in the minority, thinks K.U. is swell there ' s so much breathing space.

MABYNELL DYATT (Photos by Ed Garich) (Photos by Maurice Jackson) T ' S hard to remember the old Union foun- tain where you pulled up the little curtain and peeked under to see who the people w ' ere on the other side of the booth before telling ALL to your confidante across the table. It ' s hard to recall a dim interior, after you ' d banged in the door. Or doing a quick turn up the aisle and down again peering surrepti- tiously into every booth for a lost roommate or psychology book. Completed in the nick of time for an early enrollment, the new fountain, along with all the other improvements in the Memorial Union building, already belongs on the Campus. Perhaps that ' s because the designers were Robert B. Bloomgarten and D. Kent Frohwerk, both graduated from the University. At that it ' s probably easy for the freshman to glide in the swinging doors and saunter down the asphalt tile as though he owned the place. Upperclassmen still don ' t have the feel. After UNION U ltkou.t STRIKES by AGNES MUMMERT fingerprinting the swinging glass doors, they ' ll practically polish them off with a tsk tsk on the way out. They stare into the blue table tops with the intensity of a crystal gazer, open the windows to see how r they work, and won- der whether the trimmings are stainless steel, chromium, aluminum, or what. Maybe the fountain doesn ' t mean a new way of life on the Campus. But to those who made the old one their special haunt, it means a lot. Hosiery bills should sink to a new low, for women can slide into the bleached ma- hogany (from the Philippines) booths with nary a snag. And if you have a problematical kid brother on your hands some Sunday afternoon when the family drives in, he ' ll entertain himself in the booths along the south vall (which look like scooped out sand banks). He can slide ' round them as though they were a chain of horizontal banisters. From the other side of the fountain calls for more attendants to do patrol duty on the aisles are louder. For the capacity is 287. Monday the fountain opened, and by the fol- lowing night 2,000 persons had been served, not to mention those who were just looking. The new fountain, too, brings more light on the subject. Center lighting is fluorescent, while the alcove bulbs are incandescent. The trough along the north wall will also provide fluorescent lighting when completed. Tradi- tionally noisy, this college hangout now has a celotex ceiling which means sound proof. Coke glasses will clatter more quietly on the asphalt tile floors. Utilizing modern industry, the table tops are made of fornica (or soy beans), the Du-booths are lined with a duPont fabric, and the gleam- ing trimmings are stainless steel. Behind the fountain, working in noiseless efficiency, is the huge air conditioning unit which serves the entire basement. The old air is sucked in through a glass screen, purified, and blown into the space above the ceilings. There it slips back into the rooms through perfora- tions in the celotex. When students had finished gaping at the fountain, they dis- covered that it wasn ' t half. At least the front row of the crowd before the W.S.G.A.

They saw more professors in the place than ever before, for the University Club has its sign out by the cafeteria. They found the recreation room no longer the sacred lair of the male. Equipped with four billiard tables and as many for ping pong, this oblong room will have a glass brick wall and other doodads eventually. In fact, the only things they could remember with longing about last year ' s basement were the murals on the fountain walls which so poignantly had pictured University life. But they discovered their counterparts on the walls of the game room. From the facile brush of Eldon Tefft, has come some more impres- sions of the University child at play. 44 THK JAY HAWKER l kNCE upon a time there was a man who so greatly loved a university that he devoted almost two decades of his life to its betterment. Even after he felt that he should retire from active administrative duties, he planned to return in the role of a teacher to instruct students in the philosophy by which he lived. Death interfered with a plan which would have helped many young Kansans. The man was Ernest Hiram Lindley, Chancellor Emeritus of this University. Dr. Lindley felt acutely the University ' s needs when he was called from the University of Iowa to act as Chancellor of the University Mo. NOT by VIRGINIA GRAY of Kansas. At his first convocation he spoke of his plan to ask the state legislature for money. In his earnest way he said, We are not asking for money as beggars but we are asking the state to preserve the greatest wealth agency it has. At the same time he had a deep understanding of the spirit of the University inherited from its found- ers. He once wrote, The state uni- versity, imperfect as it is, embodies the ideals and expressions of the people and is their chief hope of civilization. He understood that his position forced him to be the University ' s representative to the people of Kansas. Through numerous articles and speeches he was able to interpret K. U. ' s most pressing needs as well as explaining its program. His untiring efforts succeeded in raising the standards of the University and increasing, to a certain extent, its physical equipment. That same Dr. Lindley loved democracy and practiced it in his everyday life. He often A Great Man, a Great Chancellor, E. H. I imllri ' s Spirit Will Long Pervade a Great University NOT state lor nhvs sical FORGOTTEN remarked that lie did not want to be the auto- cratic type of man who knew it all and whose word was law. He left with the University his three prin- ciples of democracy. The first was voluntary obedience to law. The well-loved leader felt that if a law were dissatisfactory it should be repealed or amended. But while it remained a law, it must be obeyed. Secondly, he believed that persons should he treated as persons and not as things. Lastly, he urged that young persons should not be thought of as they are, but as they will be. Upon one occasion he said, I plead for toleration for every student of the University. There ought to be the fullest freedom for each man or woman to express himself as he wishes. Although he said that one of the great- est attributes of a school teacher is his willingness to be for- gotten, this tall man with his shock of white hair, instead will be remembered. Students who knew him realize keenly their loss; students, to whom he is only a legend, feel cheated of the chance to know a man who so greatly inspired others. NOISE, by BOB TRUMP SIDELINE quarterbacks watching Jayhawk gridmen cavort on the practice field, ten- nis players pursuing their favorite sport on the nearby courts, and various others in the vicin- ity of Memorial stadium one sunny afternoon this fall were startled to hear the Rock Chalk reverberating through the empty concrete structure. Further investigation revealed that the stadium wasn ' t entirely empty after all. Clus- tered around the box seats on the forty yard line were 35 men and women attired in sweat- ers and slacks, skirts and saddles. They were responsible for whatever noise had echoed from the spacious horseshoe. Seated halfway up the ramp were six other members of the student body wearing grave expressions on their faces. The noisy group was composed of candidates for the coveted position of cheerleader at this year ' s varsity football and basketball games. The second congregation was the jury, sitting in solemn deliberation on the efforts of the prospective pep directors. This season ' s crop of cheerleaders is marked by two notable departures from the routine followed in other years. In the first place, 12 noise-makers, the largest number in the school ' s history, were chosen. And equally as im- portant four women were selected to aid the eight men in inspiring verbal support for Kansas athletes. When the shouting had died away and the voices of the contestants had been reduced to a husky croak, Bob Wright was chosen head cheerleader. Four juniors, Billie Doris Jarboe, Mary Thompson, Roy Edwards, and Hal Ruppenthal also will preside at all games, while the other seven will alternate throughout the year. In the latter group are Anna Jane Hoffman, a junior, Bob Knox, a sophomore, and Althea Shuss, Mary Ellen Brown, Cannon Cain, Joe Lindsey, and Jim Waugh, all freshmen. Waugh is a brother of Bill Waugh, last year ' s chief yell leader. Jurors who made the selections were Presi- dents Tom Arbuckle of the Ku K.u Club, Ruth Spencer Ashcraft of the Jay Janes, Bill Fanner of the M.S.C., O ' Thene Huff of the W.S.G.A., Ernie Klema of Sachem, and Bill Beven of the K-Club.

Independent and organ- ized house teams signed in for swift competition in tennis, volleyball, golf, handball, horseshoes, and archery. Having progressed only three weeks, at printing time, the fall sports are still in the begin- ning stage. Tennis has advanced to the third round playoff in both singles and mixed doubles. In the singles division the following players have won two matches to stay in the tournament: Bennie, A. D. Pi; Giles, Pi Phi; Ruchel, Watkins; Green, Alpha Chi; Cole, Chi Omega; Newlin, Kappa; Dodge, Kappa; Davison, I.W.W. ; White- head, Alpha Chi; Shuss, Watkins; Burkhead, Chi Omega; Lockwood, Pi Phi; Wilson, Watkins; Wise, Gamma Phi; Hinshaw, Pi Phi; S. Irwin, Kappa; Milan, I.W.W.; Elliott, Theta; Grizzell, Corbin; Hall, Pi Phi; Wells, Corbin; Smith, Kappa; Fronkier, Theta; King, Corbin; and Herriman, I.W.W. Kappa ' s doubles teams of Dodge and Lynch and Smith and Geiger, Pi Phi ' s team of Hinshaw and Howard, and Alpha Chi ' s team of Green and Dunn are winners for the third round. Golfers have qualified for championship and first flights. In the championship flight are: Mclntyre, Kappa; Chartell, Pi Phi; Cole, Chi Omega; Peck, Pi Phi; Taylor, Chi Omega; Wyatt, Kappa; Starr, Pi Phi; and Hines, Kappa. Farmer, Theta; Dodge, Kappa; Gurney, Alpha Chi; Lacey, Alpha Chi; Brower, Alpha Chi; Bartlett, Pi Phi; Viets, Chi Omega; and Zimmer- man, Corbin, have been placed in the first flight. In volleyball five teams have won their first games. I.W.W. defeated T.N.T. 50-16; Corbin won from E.T.C. by a score of 35-25; Theta downed Sigma Kappa 56-29; Kappa overpowered Gamma Phi 56-16; and Pi Phi won from Watkins by a margin of 31-29. As yet, no definite scores have been set in (Continued on Page 7- ' i) 48 y by CLINTON KANAGA (Pholos by Ed Garich) TNTRAMURAL sports are becoming more and more an established part of University life. Last spring this became evident when the Men ' s Student Council made an appropriation for the formation of an intramural manager board. Dr. E. R. Elbel, supervisor of the University intramural program, stated that services of that new board, headed by Lee Huddleston, were practically indispensable. Advancement is achieved by merit. Members in addition to Huddleston are: junior managers, Maurice Baringer, Bill Col- linson, and Bob McElfresh ; sophomore mana- gers, Tom Schwinn, Mike O ' Donnell. Phil Babcock, and Bill Bradford. Duties of an intramural manager are to look after the athletic equipment, supervise tournament and THE JAY HAWKER team play, and serve as a direct contact be- tween students and the physical education department. Several additions have been made to the intramural program of last year. Both fall and spring track meets will be held. The fall meet is scheduled for October 29 and 31. All Uni- versity golf and tennis tournaments will be held this fall. These two tournaments will be open to all students. Varsity athletes un- occupied in some sport are also eligible. The five leading intramural athletes for the school year will receive gold charms. An indi- vidual point system will be used to judge the best all-around athletes. A similar award will be made to the five most cooperative intra- mural managers in the competing houses or organizations. The intramural office is taking all precau- tions to avoid injuries by forcing all partici- pants in touch football to have a hospital health O.K. Also rules are stricter this autumn in relationship to rough and unsportsman- like play. Eleven-man football finds twenty teams en- tered for competition. The five teams which won or shared the division titles last year will all have crack teams back. These favorites are: defending champion, Beta Theta Pi; runner-up, Sigma Nu; Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Phi Gamma Delta. The Sigma Chis, Sig Alphs, and Phi Delts showed that they will be in the thick of the title fight with impressive first game victories. Most of last year ' s all-star are back namely Fees, Stoland, and Eberhardt, Betas; Russell, Ste- phenson, and Stone, Sigma Nus; Yankey and Reid, Phi Gams; Cheatham and McGee, Phi Delts; Fournier, Newman Club; Thompson, A.K. Psi; and Ziegelmeyer, Sig Alph.

Sigma Chi with Eidson and Brown should be installed as a pre-season favorite. Twenty teams will take part on the six-man schedule. Approximately 600 students took an active part in intramural foot- ball last fall and as many are expected this year. The other intramural sports such as touch- football, Softball, basketball, individual and team tennis, golf, handball, and horseshoes will be held as usual. Team tennis finds Phi Delta Theta perched defiantly on the championship cup with the Betas, Phi Psis and Delta Taus as the best bets to knock them off. Sixteen teams make up the three team tennis divisions. With Badford, Black, and McKinley gone this year, players with the best chance of winning the individual tennis tournament are Trump and Cadden, Phi Psis; Lindeman and Lynch, Phi Delts; and Hogben, Beta. Last year ' s winner in team horseshoe competition was Beta Theta Pi which will be favored to repeat its title efforts this year. Kappa Sigma and Sigma Phi Epsilon should give most trouble. Fifteen teams are entered in this league. In the total point sweepstake championship last year Beta Theta Pi was grand champion with 1206 points. The Galloping Dominoes, Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Delta Theta, and Delta Tau Delta followed in that order. Under the capable super- vision of Dr. Elbel, the Uni- versity intramural program has become one of the out- standing activities on the Hill. More students take part in the intramural program annually than any other one phase of school life. old misery at Lawrence. Not enough cod-liver oil, not enough iron, not enough vitamins A, B, and C. It ' s a deficiency disease caused by the absence of mobile, titanic tackles and crashing ends, said a well-known football annual in its pre-season write-ups. It is true that soft-spoken Gwinn Henry will not have one of the topnotch teams in the country, nor will he have one of the A-l teams of the Big Six, but just watch those boys from Lawrence, who have not had enough cod-liver oil and iron. The title flag will probably not wave over the K.U. Memorial Stadium this year, but the favored Nebraska, Missouri and Oklahoma teams are going to wish that a little band of Jayhawkers had never seen a pigskin before. When some of these favored toplofty teams meet with Maestro Henry ' s weaklings, they may fall before the small group of boys on the Kaw. They may look back on the pre-season dopesters mournfully. From some of the downtown quarterback and arm-chair coaches comes the annual ques- tion, Why can ' t Kansas do something in foot- ' ball? The question has never really been answered for these followers, but a group of three men are going to try to point out to some of the old die-hards that Kansas can have a ball team. Head Coach Gwinn Henry; Line Coach Vic Hurt; and Scout Harry Lansing are going to show Kansas students and fans that old K.U. is on its way back up the ladder, where it has spent so much time on the lower rungs.

But in the place of these lost backs came other good-lookers. Shifty Don Pollom looked plenty good for a sophomore; while jack- rabbit Jake Fry was back to shake loose around the opposing ends as he had done in ' 39 as a substitute halfback. Busting Ed Hall, who won ' t stop until the official takes the ball away from him, came back with more drive than ever, and Marvin Vandaveer looked like the only logical man to fill Miller ' s running and passing shoes. Slippery Ed Suagee reported to Gwinn a few days late but he soon proved that Kansas was going to need his punting foot and off- tackle smashes. Other backs who proved their worth to Coach Henry were Dick Miller, Bob Hagen, Ed Linquist, and brothers, Denzel and Chester Gibbens. Meanwhile many sturdy linemen were re- porting to Line Coach Vic Hurt. Hurt had two explosive guards in Quido Massare and Jay Kern. Two big tackles, W. F. Jack and Jim Holloway would cause Hurt less worry in that position with Boss Belph, Steve Meade, Jim Zimmerman, and Tony James to follow in line. At the ball-snapper position was veteran Don 51 Pierce, with letterman Wayne Wilson and Al Zernickow on the call list. When Steve Benko failed to report because of an arm injury, the Kansas coaches went into a huddle to see who would be Hub Ulrich ' s running mate at end. They finally decided to make Guard Ward Crowell over into an end, with veteran John Burge, and newcomers Balph Schaake, Bill McGrew, and Bob O ' Neil anxiously awaiting a beckon from the coaches. Bob Fluker, musclebound Herb Hartman, handsome Don Hill, and sturdy Paul Hardman were all on hand to try to push Jay Kern and Quido Massare out of the start- ing guard positions. With a tough nine-game schedule starting with Iowa State, and followed by Drake, Nebraska, Kansas State, Yillanova, Oklahoma, George Washington, Missouri, and Colorado State, Kansas will know that it has been through a football season, but so will some of the favorites. When the Jay hawkers journeyed to Ames to meet the supposedly stronger Cyclone team, they came back with only a 7 to defeat and the privilege of having outgained and out- played the favored Iowa State boys. Of course the Cyclone followers claimed that when the record books are brought forth in later years, (Continued on Page 68) (Photo by AH Wolf) SOMEBODY HAS TO HAVE THE BALL 52 THE JAYHAWKER (Pholo by Maurice Jackson) by MARY FRANCES McANAW r TUiE days of and a helluva engineer are gone.

As Dean of the School, J. J. Jakosky, a mechanical engineering graduate of K.U. in 1920, begins his first year guiding the seven departments in the engine school. Dean Jakosky comes back to the Hill with a degree in electrical engineering and a doctor of science degree as well as the one in mechanical engi- neering earned here. The Jakoskvs are real Kansans. Mrs. Jakosky graduated from the University and the son, J. J., Jr., is planning to enter the engine school next fall. At present he is attending Lawrence Memorial high school. Although the days of the tough and terrible engineer are past, today ' s engineers still seem to retain an active interest in sports. If its Dean is an indication, the school will hold its ow T n this year. You see, Dean Jakosky is a wrestler a member of the Hollywood wres- tling team for the last eight years. As Dean, his working motto is all for the interests of the school and the position of the dean is to coordinate the departments. As Dean he is just a necessary evil all the credit for the school goes to the thirty-five faculty members. At least that is what he will tell you.

JIM SURFACE OCTOBER 1940 55 GOSH, DAD, I ' M in a. Politically Speaking, This I rush Is Befuddled . . So a Letter to Dad i October 25, 1940 Lawrence, Kansas DEAR FATHER: I ' m sorry that I haven ' t had time to write you oftener, but studies here at K. U. are harder than anything I used to have back at high school in Reedy Falls. There have been so many things to do, and so many things to buy that I ' m out of money again. I hope you send another check soon. Father, there are two things on the hill called political parties. You didn ' t tell me anything about them when I left for the university, and unless you can tell me what to do about them I won ' t know what to do when the election comes along next month. The other night some of the boys who call themselves Pachacamacs took me up to an Open House in the Union building where they gave me cider and doughnuts, and had five speakers who just about convinced me the only way to win friends and influence people was to join Pachacamac. A few nights later I was taken up to a smoker held by the P.S.G.L. party in Green Hall. The P.S.G.L. boys said the same things the Pachacamacs said, only louder and oftener. I thought this second meeting was more interesting because there was a Pachacamac there who sort of heckled the P.S.G.L. speakers. Both of the parties arguments are so very much alike. Each one claims to be the Independent Party for Independent men, and each party agrees that the other one is completely dominated by fraternities. No one has told me why I am supposed to hate the fraternities and love indepen- dent men, just because I happen to live on Tennessee Street. Each party seems to think that is the way I should react, so I suppose it must be the right thing to do. Fellows who are in the know tell me that both parties will run Lawrence boys for Freshman President. These same fellows tell me that the Freshmen don ' t have any real say-so about any- thing in student government. The other night a couple of fellows came by and stopped me right in the middle of an algebra assignment; they told me they were members of THE independent party. Of course I didn ' t know which one they were talking about, but they thought I did. They stayed and talked nearly half an hour; at last I promised I would vote for them, just to get them to leave. Was that wrong, father? After those two left two fellows from the other party came along, and I was able to get rid of them in a hurry by using the same tactics. I took down the names of all four of the men who called on me that evening, and when I looked them up in the student directory the next day, I found that all four of them were fraternity freshmen. The two who were P.S.G.L. ' s were a Beta and an Acacia, while the Pachacamacs were a Sigma Chi and a Phi Psi. The funny part about it is that the four men all claimed to be independent men. Father, I don ' t know how to vote. I know that the student council elections back at Reedy Falls High School weren ' t like this. Back there I knew all the fellows, and I knew who to trust and who not to trust. Please write and tell me what to do! If you don ' t, I think I just won ' t vote at all. Your loving son, JOHNNY FRESHMAN P.S. Don ' t forget to send the money. 56 THE JAYHAWKER NOW P.K. . . . Young Democrats An Saying As Ballot Day Approaches r I i VENTY years ago a young vice-presiden- - - tial nominee arrived in Lawrence. A crowd of young University students greeted him and listened to the usual glittering promises of election year.

Buttons, stickers, and campaign literature are delivered broadside and broadcast. Speakers come out of nowhere, brandish fists, and soap-box mightily about the great crisis which seems to reappear every four years and then retire into nowhere again. (Photo by Maurice Jackson) But this group of young men and women, dragging along on the heels of the Democratic Donkey and occasionally giving it a forward boost this group contains some of the political big-wigs, bosses, and perhaps even presidents for future generations. Members receive schooling in the ideals of the New Deal, in Booseveltism, in Burkeism, in Hard- ingism. They get practice in public speaking and make contacts with politicians who supph them with enough propaganda or is infor- mation the term? to choke a cow, or even an elephant. At one meeting this fall, a speaker passed out a profusion of buttons, stickers, and anti- Batner, Pro-Burke literature 28 different pieces in all. According to the chairman, this deluge of papers and pins was all information, not hooey or propaganda, to be passed out to friends and sweethearts of all active members. Jerry Biseley runs the show for the club. As president he is assisted by Lucian Nelson, Isabelle Benson, Mike Sheridan, Lois Ballew, Doris Pierce, and a host of others. There are officers galore. As one boy put it, when asked to be an officer, Isn ' t there any- one in the club who doesn ' t have a staff position? In all fairness, let it be said that the answer is yes. But all in all, the club meetings draw attendances running from twenty to a hundred and whether they ' re young or not, they ' re all Democrats.

Argue Young Republicans AFTER a membership in the College Young J - - Republicans club a student may not know the essential issues between Willkie and Roosevelt, but he will most certainly know- how to vote, and how to get others to vote, for Willkie and Ratner. According to the founders of the collegiate division of the Young Republicans in 1932, the purposes of the college group were to get students into the G.O.P. ranks and to promote the candidates and program of the state Young Republican organization. As a whole, however, students are a cynical lot and frown upon anything that smacks of practical politics. In addition, college life is too full of other things to worry about. Appeal, as in the case of any political club, is strongest for law students who want a job in the state house, students whose fathers have political jobs, and women who simply like to belong to clubs. But the collegiate G.O.P. ' s under Bill Douce, present leader, do work for the party. It might not be too far-fetched to say that they are actually concerned about current issues. They supported Ratner in his first And This Is the II nrl, of Q epu.lt li election with all their strength. Last spring they rounded up eligible student voters, regis- tered, and voted them in the city election. They pitch in and help to entertain any Republican personality that hits town. If they do make little more than lackies for the Republican organization, they are none the less eager. Politicians, be they Democrats or Republi- cans, are not necessarily grateful persons. For a favor, they ' ll return a favor if they have to. Last year the college G.O.P. ' s led by Wilbur Leonard, now president of the Willkie- for-President club, led a movement to put a K.U. club representative in the state Young Republicans convention. In return for Hill work, Leonard might have gained the right to a representative, but he could boast of no right to an acting vote. The older Young Republicans (remarkable how old a Young Republican can get before he dies) were teach- ing the collegiate Young Republicans the way to work the way any political club works - by taking orders from higher-ups. Yet Kansas University can be proud of one thing. Hill Republicans represented this campus as one of the six schools in Kansas to form the first consolidation of collegiate Young Republicans in the United States. Certainly that can be called starting something. 58 THE JAYHVWKER by BETTY WEST HATTERING to the calm of September 8 was the first day of women ' s rush week, when prospective Greek goddesses registered for the following four days marathon, better known as the Mount Oread Endurance Test for Members of the Female Sex. ... In rapid succession came a day of teas, a half day of silence, followed by a formal dinner, and a streak of cold weather. On September 11 female rushees were breakfasted and dined, and men ' s rush week started in its own little blaze of glory. . . . On Thursday, September 12, rushees attended preferential dinner, and made out preference slips. On Friday nine Hill sororities moved over to make room for their freshmen classes. ... On the night of Monday the 16th, Clyde Bysom played to a packed opening Varsity, filled to the boiling point with the class of ' 44, whose jitterbugging techniques made upper- classmen feel like an advanced case of lum- bago had set in. . . . Monday night was also memorable for a delightful across-the-Hill-and-back serenade from the Sigma Chi German band, who ren- dered several lovely selections at 2:45 a.m., and succeeded in frightening several dogs and housemothers. . . . The Chi Omegas untied the ribbon on the open house season September 20, when West Campus road was packed with stags who stepped gaily on each other ' s feet from 9 to 12 p.m. to Clayton Harbur ' s music. . . . Harbur played again the next night for the Alpha Delta Pi open house at the chapter house. Hill men again brushed off their best overalls or mail order suits to make merry with the A.D.

Monday night, September 23, the Chi Omega freshmen took it on the lam with the Phi Gam pledge class, the Theta and Sigma Chi freshmen enjoyed an evening in the coun- try, and the Beta and Phi Psi pledge classes stagged it into Kansas City. . . . Tuesday evening, September 24, the Gamma Phi freshmen ate chicken at the Dine-A-Mite with the Sigma Nu pledge class. . . . That Thursday evening the D.TJ. ' s and Sigma Nus opened up their larders for buffet suppers, while the Pi Phi freshmen picnicked en masse at State Lake with the Phi Delt pledges. The same night the Kappa Sigma pledges spent the evening admiring Kansas City ' s skyline. . . . On Friday, September 27, the Thetas flew their kite over the Memorial Union ball- room, where Theta pledges and actives danced to the open house melodies of Clayton Harbur. . . . Corbin Hall also held open house Friday night, and on Saturday the Alpha Chis threw away the latchstring in the Kansan room of the Memorial Union with Clyde Bysom officiating. . . . The same Saturday evening Clayton Harbur played for the second Varsity crowd which stomped with enthusiasm from 9 to 12 p.m. . . . Friday night, October 4, the Pi Phis shot an arrow into the air, which fell to earth over the Memorial Union, where Clayton Harbur played for dancing a la open house from 9 until 12 p.m. . . . The next evening the Betas took over the Memorial Union ballroom with Clyde Bysom playing for the first Beta party of the year, while Phi Delts prettied up their house to look like a haunted mansion, and tried to scare their dates to death. Clayton Harbur (Photo by Ed Garich) furnished musical crescendos and sound effects. . . . Next door the Sigma Kappas decorated their house with fall flowers and imported Les Copley ' s orchestra from Kansas City for their open house. . . .

Dorsey fans trampled each other to death at the Freshman Frolic and loved it. Saturday evening of the same week the Kappas held open house in the Memorial Union ballroom with Clyde Bysom ' s orchestra playing for a heavy stagline.

Most of the 1,500 are happy. That ' s about all there is left of the Freshman Frolic. Tommy Dorsey was all that was expected of him, and that was a lot. The whole evening was all that was expected, and that ' s a lot, too. Connie Haines was good, the Pied Pipers were good, and Frank Sinatra must have sounded good to somebody. So most of the 1,500 are happy. Just most of that number are happy because a few mouths still have an unpleasant taste as far as the Frolic is concerned. Chief complaint from several freshmen is all about Drummer Buddy Rich and a broken drumstick. Early in Rich ' s skin-beating show, he in-twoed a stick right in front of the gaping platform hounds. Said spectators immediately engaged in a minor brawl (the major one was called the Frolic) for the possession of the broken stick. Any mathematician knows there can be only two halves of anything. It follows that there were a lot of disappointed people who had to wait around for another Buddy Rich drumstick to crack. And then there ' s the lament of Wayne Ruppenthal, Clyde Bysom ' s trumpet blower, who really had something to lament about. Some time ago Ruppen- thal wrote a song which he called Where Are You Tonight. A Dorsesque arrangement by Joe McAnarney of local clarinet fame was sent to Tommy Dorsey. But only a half-triumph was in store for Ruppen- thal. Dorsey played his number, played it well, and it went over big. But no modicum of credit was shunted Rupe ' s way. The number was unannounced with no by-line. Then, too, a few Hill popsters are quite disap- pointed because Dorsey didn ' t play the Alma Mater. A big demonstration was planned and the ball- room well-decorated with pennants. But the sched- uled pep show didn ' t come off. Hardest feelings of all against the Frolic come from local florists. Their cash registers have little to show because of the dance. Socialite authorities dis- corsaged the gals for the evening, hence no orders to the flower shop. Outside of that, everyone is pleased. The number of objections is few compared to the 1,500 who Frolicked that night. Not a bad average, considering how hard any crowd of people is to please anyway. blue-s! dam-it been! solved Educa meat, srades Upsflo and ad Lasl ancej ' medici band; sideB other Kans.

His light blue-sharkskin-clad thirteen are the answer to a dancing co-ed ' s prayer. But although Harbur has been behind a baton since he was twelve, music is only a sideline with him. When Clayton came to the Hill last year, he re- solved stonily to keep out of dance music-izing. Education in business, he vowed, would be his only meat. But after the first semester, when he made his grades and passed from pledge to active in Delta Upsilon, Harbur yielded to the pleas of Clyde Smith and added his saxophone and clarinet to Hill harmony. Last spring when Smith left the band for an insur- ance job in Kansas City, Red Blackburn came from medical school to be the leader. Under his name the band auditioned for a summer engagement at River- side Ballroom in Estes Park. Out-swinging seventeen other college bands from all over the nation the old Campus favorites got the job. Back from Estes, seven members of the Smith- Blackburn band incorporated with six former Dale Brodie men. They voted sophomore Clayton Harbur maestro because of his five years ' experience in band fronting. When he was twelve, back home in Kansas City, Kans., Harbur took time out from sandlot baseball to take up saxophone. The same year he organized his first band ten lads whose immediate inspira- tion was to play for refreshments at church ice cream socials. After appearing in four states during the five years, Harbur ' s original outfit finaled with a summer engagement at Hilltop Club, Lafayette, La., in 1939. Now a popular campus personage, Harbur clings to his original bandmanship theories. Since his seventh grade debut, he has believed that a band needs well, flash. Working for a feeling of friendliness between band- stand and dance floor, he begins a dance by speaking against the background of his theme to give person- to-person atmosphere. Harbur ' s haunting theme is Moonlight on the Ganges. He picked it up by thumbing through piles of old music in a music store. I wanted an unusual tune with chords that would lend themselves to instrumentation in our band, he explained. Between psychology lab and accounting, Harbur daydreams of soft-pedaling his music so that it will be suitable for Hill house parties. No band here has ever attained that goal, he declared. We have been learning what K.U. used to like, he added. Red Blackburn is a twelve-year veteran of Hill music, so he has helped us get ideas. Harbur ' s showmanship is no glamour boy veneer. He consented to join Smith ' s band last year only be- cause the musicians were of higher calibre in character and in playing ability than the average jivers. Four of the present Harbur players are in Phi Mu Alpha, honorary music fraternity. Since they intend to make music their life work, their musical ideas are sincere and sound. Two members of his first band, who have believed in his theories from the first, are in Harbur ' s new organization. They are Jimmy Hammer, sandy- blond vocalist and second trombone, and Dave Bender, pianist. Is Clayton Harbur going to continue his band career? No, he said emphatically. He is going into business. But on the Hill he succumbed to the saxo- phone call, and perhaps his will may weaken again. 62 THE JAYHAWKER (Photo by Ed Garich) by GLEE SMITH HTIHE wide scope of our work is the most interest- J_ ing feature of the K.U. photographic bureau, says Oren Bingham. I do work for almost every department on the Hill, and during the last eight years I have been called upon to get pictures of everything from ancient fossils and rock formations to students in the K.U. registration line. Oren Bingham graduated from the chemistry department of the University of Kansas in 1929. He then took graduate work in Illinois, but he soon returned to Kansas. In 1932 he began taking pictures for the University. The photographic bureau was really an out- growth of the student identification pictures pro-k gram which was first undertaken in 1932. The bureau is now located in the sub-basement of Watson library. It includes one assistant as well as four part-time helpers. The majority of Mr. Bingham ' s work is done for the science departments. The results of his skill have been seen in many campus publications. Also he has furnished illustrations for several textbooks. Pictures are taken only when they are ordered for some specific purpose. Biggest job of the year for the photo bureau are student identification pictures. Five prints are made from each registration photo, and the cost is about seven and one-half cents per student. Two of these five prints go on the activity books. One goes to the (Photos by Pholo Bureau) TURNABOUT Oren Bingham I ' nsrs for the Kind of Picture that Highlights Each Activity Book . . . and Also Tells a Few Facts About K. U. ' s Pkoto Suteau. dean, one is filed in the registrar ' s office, and one goes to the school. The busy photo bureau is called upon to do work for the government as well as for the University. Mr. Bingham has made many field trips for the state geological survey, and each winter he takes a series of pictures at Haskell. This office receives many unusual orders which range from getting the foot patterns of an insect in motion to photographing the food products of the Home Economics Department. The mural on the west wall of the Kansas Room is the largest picture that Mr. Bingham has made, and the student identi- fication pictures are the smallest. With a small amount of equipment but a great deal of enthusiasm these University photographers turn out thousands of lantern slides and educational pictures for instructors in all departments. In addi- tion they do a large amount of copy work such as making permanent photographic records of all transcripts. Under Oren Bingham ' s efficient management the K.U. photo bureau has developed rapidly, and it is now recognized as one of the outstanding service departments on the Hill. HER lone is i series JEAN BOSWELL, Editor AS the autumn season came, so arrived a J - - new crop of freshmen to the campus, who stirred the old pond of society into a dizzy whirlpool. Upperclassmen were whipped into the whirl and old Mount Oread is again buzz- ing with yarns of rushweek, new and old romances, and peculiar happenings. It is whispered that the U. S. Army and Battenfeld hall did the best rushing of men this year. At any rate, something happened to about 200 boys, which was the number missing from the usual contingent of prospec- tive rushees. After rushing registration, one gloomy Greek figured that there were only enough to make a class of 14 for each house. Some fraternities did raise the score by a few men, but nevertheless there were no cracks such as were thrown at the Kappa Sigs some years ago when they took 33 men. Girls were about as scarce, but the Army surely can ' t take the blame here. Nor can the new men ' s dorms, for that matter. It seemed as though each sorority had a lot of places to fill, and the list seemed to be particularly short on Kansas City ferns. Everyone seems to want to know what girls are expected to flash so predictions run as follows : For good all-around girls: Kappa ' s Margie Scholes and Margaret Butler; Theta ' s Mary Burchfield; Pi Phi ' s May King; Chi Omega ' s Margery McKay; and Gamma Phi ' s Phyllis Markley. There were more stories being told this rush week about the Sig Alphs than there were TCLL YOU about the farmer ' s daughter. The best one concerns one Jack Julep, a mythical rushee invented by the Phi Belts for Al Becker ' s benefit. The story ran something like this: Although the Phi Belts wanted him badly, the boy definitely wanted to go Sig Alph. Chet Hall, SAE rush captain, locked himself in his room when he saw Jack, dressed in a three year old sport coat and a bow tie, swag- gering with pants rolled up, and carrying two sloppy duffelbags. Becker set out bravely to dissuade the boy from pledging Sig Alph but his arguments left the fellow undeterred. In fact, Jack swore he ' d sleep in the cellar if he could stay. Al finally saw the light when Jack said he had a brother, Mint Julep, who wanted to be a Sig Alph too. Our hero, Jack Julep, was played by none other than Brian Kirby, Phi Belt sophomore. But the Alphs came right back. They got Stoop Ballard for whom the Phi Belts yearned so eagerly that they had sicked George Cheatham on him. Evidently it was the wrong English, for when Ballard got back to the West Campus manor, he was pleased to be away from George. Ballard ' s testimony: Cheatham could read the Horse Breeders Annual and make it sound like the Bible. The Sigma Chis got mad at the Phi Gams again. That was expected. It is almost a his- torical fact that something interesting, in a nasty sort of way, always comes up between those fellows.

SOMETHING TO TELL YOU (Continued from Page 63) caused when the Sig Chis forgot that a rushee had to keep his first date with the Gams - so residents along that part of the hill can look forward to another year of being awakened in the small hours by coarse voices shouting ya-a-h, the Phi Gams are a bunch of Betas. There is never anything funny about girls, rush week. At least there is never anything funny that can be told. One of the better anecdotes is the one about the over-dramatic rushee who, when asked by the Kappas if she would like to be a KKG, breathed the reply, Yes, I pledge myself. Funny, the way all of the sororities are real chum-buddy when they meet before rush week begins, but the chilly looks the gals pass back and forth after the scramble is over! Even Charlie Long noticed it this year. This Delta Gamma threat will surely pop soon, anyway that is what people have whis- pered for three years now. Seen at the Dine-a-mite: Dave Scott looking at red-haired Flossie Allen, Kappa youngster, with that Fd-like-to- have-a-date-with-you gleam in his eye. Bob Morton with a different girl every night. Apparently he has forsaken his beliefs of last spring and decided there is safety in numbers. Always Joe Drake, Bob Houck, and Ed Gardner with the Bill Bowlands. However, we were out there the other night and noticed something very strange about the place. After a few inquiries we discovered that the Row- lands weren ' t there.

The gals think it is a scream, and retaliated with a congratulatory telegram for his initiation signed, Chi Omega.

Bill seems to stick to that 1232 Louisiana through thick and thin. First Betty Smith, then Barby Daniels (now Cole), and now the little gal from Valley, who incidentally has a cute little sister up here this year, Elizabeth. The results of the Kappa walkout were more serious for ogling boys than for the fresh- men themselves. Bud Shaw ver, Phi Gam, har- bored a black eye, hangover from Betty Lou Young ' s foot in his face as he attempted to enter the sacred portals. Dave Oberlin, of the Union fountain, was minus several necessary chunks of leg because of barbed wire which hindered his escape from the scene at the arrival of the police. The cops also routed Larry Smith, Sigma Chi, in such a hurry that he cut his forehead on the bushes. Just what became of the clever fellow who escaped with the Kappa ' s precious supply of light bulbs no one knows. Sonny Bones Jones, Phi Psi, is no longer a boy ' s boy since he got a taste of social life taking actress June Storey to last year ' s Dark Command premiere. He received date bids to Kappa, Pi Phi, and Theta open houses, and from all reports, is always proudly dated up three weeks in advance. Little Janet Rohrer has a job on her hands. In going steady with Fred Rightman, she hopes to reform some of his ways. May she have success in getting the haircut he has needed so long. Phi Gam Paul Yankee was victim of much razzing and worry over his health during the two weeks Kappa Jeanne Wedell was at home with the mumps. Bob Scott, ex-king of the Arizona campus and transfer to this Phi Delt chapter, is worthy of special mention. He is, however, at a definite disadvantage by having his reputa- tion precede him. Jean Egbert, Jean Anderson, and Jane Veatch (nicknamed Sonja) are a bit skeptical as to how to take his attentions. Bob has reputedly turned down several offers from Hollywood, but is still a helluva good guy. Chagrined wa s the word for the self- confident fellow who ' phoned Watkins Hall and asked for Evelyn Kamprath, who occupies most of Rudy Savely ' s time. The date- desirous lad, asking for Evelyn, was met with the reply, Sorry Rudy, she isn ' t in just now. Please note that the ever-vacillating and not- too-faithful June Grisea, Lawrence Pi Phi, has finally become resigned to her fate and accepted the pin of Delt John Weatherwax. Kenny Hamilton, Sig Alph, is dividing his time between Maxine Miller and Virginia Scott. It ' s the same old question of whether it ' s better to have the appeal of novelty or to be able to go out every night. Imagine Wilbur Leonard ' s chagrin at a Willkie-for-President club meeting when he appointed Jim Surface to one of the com- mittees. Surface withdrew, and later Wilbur found out that Jim was from a long line of Roosevelt democrats. Delt president Jack Severin has started his weekly trips to the city in an attempt to keep interests on the string in the name of Theta pretty-face, Kayo O ' Sullivan. The Shartel-O ' Hara-Prather triangle is as perplexing as ever. Both girls are wearing ex- tremely long faces while O ' Hara, commuting from Kansas City to Lawrence every week- end, tries to make up his mind. Can ' t you just see Charlie Henshall, Phi Gam lawyer of last year, sleeping in a navy hammock? That ' s what he will be doing be- fore long, because Charlie is going to see part of the world by means of the three months ' training course which took so many of the good boys with it this year. Margie Scholes, Kappa pledge, is getting the Phi Gam rush of all for one, one for all her weekends often end up like this: Friday, ' OCTOBER 1940 .

It was in the second quarter at Ames when the Cyclones gained its margin of victory. On the third play, Royal Lohry, sophomore halfback, smashed over from the one-half yard line, after Kansas had been penalized for off-side playing. Paul Darling then kicked the extra point. Publicized Hank Wilder was the general in the Stater ' s attack ,when he entered the game late in the first period. Only eight plays after Hammerin ' Hank had entered the battle, the Cyclones carried the ball from their own 45 yard stripe across the K.U. goal line. When the whistle blew for the end of the first quarter, the home team was on the Kansas 5-yard line. Wilder tried a line plunge to no avail, while Lohry attempted to dive across the stubborn Jay- hawker line. But on the third down, Kansas was offside and so a 5-yard penalty put the ball on the defender ' s one-half yard line. It was on this next play that slippery Lohry sliced through the K.U. line for the game-winning touchdown. Play continued fairly evenly until the half-time, but when the visitors came back on the gridiron after the half, they were a new ball team. Everything seemed to work. Pollom started things when he ran the kick-off back 20 yards. Then alternating the duties, Hall, Vandaveer, and Pollom pushed the pigskin to the Kansas 41-yard line. Then came the play of the day. Vandy faded way back and tossed a beautiful pass to Pollom, who was waiting on the Cyclone 19-yard line. Pollom turned quickly to head for the Iowa State goal line, but Lincoln Stewart saved the day for the Staters as he slapped Don ' s heel just enough to throw him off balance and spill him on the 19-yard stripe. Kansas then drove to the 15, only to have Paul Darling inter- cept Vandaveer ' s pass to Ralph Schaake on the 5-yard line, ending the K.U. threat. Time after time Hall, Vandy and Pollom drove the ball back down into Iowa State territory, only to lose inspiration on a 15- yard penalty for backfield in motion. With Massare and Kern playing well in the line and Don Pierce the defensive mainstay, the always-fighting Hawkers drove back down to the 22-yard line, where they were again charged for backfield in motion, this being the fourth penalty for the offense. After that, it was more or less a punting dual, with Iowa State try- ing to keep Kansas in its own territory, and succeeding very well. Only once did Kansas smash back into the Iowa sod. Kansas had 13 first downs com- pared to 6 for the Cyclones, and 129 net yards gained from scrim- mage. Meanwhile the Staters netted only 78 yards. But the final score stood 7 to 0; Iowa State. On October 12, when the Crim- son and Blue team took the field for its first home game of the season, it was minus some players, especially ends. John Burge and Ralph Schaake were out with in- jured shoulders from the Iowa State game, while Harlan Altman injured some ribs in practice. Tony James hurt a shoulder, and Steve Meade, tackle, was out with neck boils. Still the Kansas team was barely favored over the Drake Bulldogs. But when the big silver Drake line camlrout on the field, the home team followers began to wonder. It took the ferocious Jayhawkers only four minutes to unleash a drive that netted them a touch- down. A bewildered Drake team and an even more bewildered crowd of 8,000 spectators won- dered if that was a Kansas team. They hadn ' t seen such K.U. power for years. It looked too good to be true, but it was. Little snake- hipped Jake Fry was instrumental in the short drive when he cut, sliced, and slashed toward the Bulldogs ' goal. Five plays found the little Kansas back wiggling off-tackle for the Jayhawkers ' first touchdown. Hall ' s place-kick failed for the extra kick. A few minutes later, a lateral from Fry to Vandaveer went hay- wire and Drake recovered the free ball on the K.U. 45-yard marker. From this they drove down to the Kansas goal territory. Tex Switzer and Walt O ' Connor led the Bulldogs ' drive to the goal line to tie the score, 6 to 6. Then the Kansas fans didn ' t know what to think. But in the second quarter, with Hall and Pollom acting as chief dynamite caps, the Kansans ' pushed right back down to the Drake goal line again and Pollom dashed around the visitors ' right end into the end zone standing up. Chet Gibbens came in to give an exhibition in drop-kicking to catch another point for K.U. And again the Kansas fans thought maybe they had something after all. From then on, the game was busy with substitutions and the air was filled with Drake passes. Three minutes after the second half started, Ed Suagee intercepted a Bulldog pass on the 50-yard line and streaked through the visiting team for the third Kansas touch- down. Ed Hall booted the second extra point to make the score 20 to 6, in favor of Kansas. Then K.U. substitutions covered the field and the Jayhawker power filled the Nebraska scout ' s mind with wonderment. Yes sir, Kansas may not have enough cod-liver oil, or enough iron, but maybe the soft-spoken Kansas grid mentor is feeding his boys on dynamite caps and fire bombs. It looks as if K.U. is going to cause an explosion in the Big Six conference this year. It looks as though Gwinn Henry is going to pull his famous stunt of taking a terrifically green team and turning them into one of the best coached teams in the country, as he has done at the College of Emporia, Missouri, and the Uni- versity of New Mexico.

Hello there, Shorty, the big brute with the red sweater greeted me, you want to buy this here K cap don ' t you? Quickly I dug out seventy cents and sent the menacing salesman on his way. The buying of my cap was only the beginning. I next took in a free dance and had a wonderful time mixing with the stags and eating popcorn. One fellow didn ' t have a chance against the horde of aggressive males that came sans dates and delighted in making the dated man tear his hair by their continual cutting in. Having little worry of this kind, I reposed off the dance floor and contentedly ate my popcorn. It was a strange sort of dance but universities are different from high schools, so a fellow sort of expects things like this. All through high school I imagined what college would be like I could see myself smoking a pipe full of odorous tobacco, rolling my trousers up and displaying my loudest socks; that was the life for me yes, that ' s what I dreamed of in high school my college life to come. Well, things aren ' t working out like that I can ' t smoke a pipe because it makes me sick, and it ' s too cold to roll my trousers up, so I ' m looking for a different angle from which to view this college situation. It took only the first day in the classroom to tell me that a large per cent of my excess time was going to be spent in a studious fashion. I figured that if I went to class four hours a day and spent two hours that night on every hour class I had during the day, I have to reserve twelve hours daily for this. Figuring that I needed nine hours sleep, this made a total of twenty-one hours. Three hours left! I usually ate three meals per day and I had to put aside an hour each for these. This made a total of twenty-four hours one whole day! This little display of mathematics took care of the Joe College idea quite nicely, so it looks like I ' m in for the winter. I ' ll crawl out next summer some time. I ' m looking forward to the coming warmer months with great zeal. I ' m going to roll my trousers up, attire my ankles with my loudest hosiery, and learn to smoke a pipe.

Blue, after being reserved for Dad and his shiny serge for many seasons, makes its color bid in a brand new set of off-shade tones that make you wonder why you haven ' t been wearing it for years. In cut there is very little change. The coats are full drape and plain back, just slightly longer but with the same three buttons. The trousers are a little wider at the knees perhaps and a little narrower at the cuffs. For a special suit you ought to look at the new Treasure Cloth (exclusive with Ober ' s) in an ultra-soft Worsted, in a slight herringbone weave or in an indis- tinct overplaid. OBER ' S is justly proud of it. Tweeds (have you seen those with the new pen and pencil pocket and the inner lining on the knees and seat?) and worsted cheviots are good, too. And as you ' ve been hearing all autumn it ' s covert, covert, cov- ert wherever the smart young man goes. In shirts the trend is not neces- sarily away from the tab and stiff collar but the longer wide-spread, soft collars are gaining among Uni- versity men. Oxford cloth seems slated to be a sure winner. You needen ' t worry, however, about the collar wrinkling. With the staves inside and the collar long enough to have the tips under the vest, that difficulty has been side- tracked. Colored shirts, especially stripes, will be worn a great deal; but white is still very popular for school wear. During the day the most popular sox are the high wools with argyle plaids. At night the prize goes to the ankle-fitting plain silk. Only $3.95 Easy To Pay T-E-R-M-S Dear Betty and Joe: I ve been Here long enough now to get acquainted with the Hill and the people on it.

At least the number of knee-high sox walking around the campus on fat and slim legs alike indicates a change in the season. Male opinion concerning the fad is taking a negative stand, but honestly fel- lows, the sox are warm! Speaking of warmth, notice the good-looking coats. At HARZ- FELD ' S there is a striking red coat featuring the three-quarter length and a smart belt. And of course fur is ever popular. Jane Stites is sporting a beautiful raccoon, while Virginia Stevens looks quite fetching in seal. Sweaters and skirts are still holding their own in new and dif- ferent ways. Cardigans are re- placed by slip-overs in all the hues of a color chart. Pastel plaids and corduroys are tops in the skirt line. Short, short skirts are also worn by some with the knee-high sox. Katie Sewell ' s Scotch kilt is an example of the short skirt. For stormy (Jfcys, reversibles of covert cloth and bright wools hold back the rain and wind. Helen Wilkins can be spotted from a dis- tance in her pink wool reversible, while Mary Jean Miller is easily recognized in turquoise. White rubber boots for wading through snow drifts and mud puddles have replaced the old galoshes. Little girls look best in these. For in- stance, notice Annabelle Fisher and Anny Hoffman. Corduroy shoes to match the outfit are a sensation, and wedges still have a weak hold on foot fashions.

There ' s nothing solemn about it on the sur- face, at least. Some time in the future, we ' ll bring you a weighty, highly-serious, majestic JAY- HAWKER but that ' s some time in the future. Now, Christmas-time, is the time to be gay. Just remember that we had our collective tongue in our collective cheek as we made up the magazine and we think most of the writers followed our example. We ' ve had our head bowed, our hat off, and our fingers raised in salute constantly since Helen Rhoda Hoopes first turned in her remarkable article, FRIENDS AND FROGS. We ' ve always thought Helen Rhoda had that subtle kind of marvelous wit which paper and print would never be able to record. We ' ve changed our mind, however. For a real treat, read Miss Hoopes ' chromatic essay. Then, for those who want to see how a student beat the ever-present commercial side of Christmas at its own game, we recommend a glance through Mike Stewart ' s CHRIST- MAS HAS IT ON THE BALL. And the whole scope of a woman ' s outside-class life is covered efficiently and cleverly by Heidi Viets in her intensely human IRONS IN THE FIRE. Bob Trump did a comprehensive job in an interesting manner when he undertook QUESTION MARK TEAM. It ' s the whole 1940-41 basketball situation in a neat little nutshell if we ever saw one. On our knees we pray for more writers like Dean Ostrum who turned in letter-perfect copy for TOO BIG FOR ITS PANTS. His first Jay- hawker assignment found Dean over- coming all the difficulties which freshman Jayhawker writers usually are able to accumulate for themselves. Ever-capable Don Fitzgerald has scored again with his so-so typical sketches for LET ' S CALL HER GRACIE. Along the same line, Betsy Dodge gets a blue ribbon for her IRONS IN THE FIRE art work, and Margie Hagstrom goes on the honor list for her adaptable drawing of Maurine and Georgine in THEY WANTED TO BE PLAYGIRLS. In the line of photography, we could go into superlatives over Art Wolf ' s frontispiece and shower pic- ture. He made the latter with the complete cooperation of Ada Lee Fuller. Maurice Jackson did a crack-up job in his football individ- uals. Hal Ruppenthal, a photographer who is im- proving steadily, took a great number of pictures well, and Hal Branine got some excellent suspended- motion basketball shots. As for the rest well, see for yourself. It should be sufficient to say that we cut out nearly every- thing we didn ' t like. 88 WHEN Hillites were yet in their romper- and - floor - kicking stage of existence, they used to have to take spoonfuls of thick, syrupy, nasty-tasting medicine just because some towering grown-up said, It ' s good for you whether you like it or not. But now those students wear more dignified clothing and the only time they think of kick- ing the floor is during some Hill band ' s pro- fessional jam session. Those students have grown to a height that usually surpasses that of the grown-up who once towered above them. They ' ve outgrown a great deal, but they dis- cover that there is one thing which they can never outgrow. That one thing is having to take thick, syrupy, nasty-tasting medicine just because someone a little above them in power says, It ' s good for you whether you like it or not. Obviously, we are referring to the Saturday class ultimatum which burst like ignited dyna- mite on the class-slumbering, notebook- scribbling, hard-to-con vince student body a few weeks ago. All is acquiescent on the Hill front now - outwardly. But a few weeks ago! And even now, deep inside, the majority of enrollees are still resentful. They are antagonistic toward those who would still the voice of any press - even the student press. They would just as soon go to school in July as on Saturday. They still hate the dictatorial methods used - startlingly reminiscent of Herr Hitler, Baldy Mussolini, and Jo-Jo Stalin. And they still resent the fact that the whole thing was de- cided without so much as a Joe or Jane, how do you like it? They can ' t help feeling this resentment, just as they once couldn ' t help feeling resentment against Castor Oil spoonfuls, grudgingly swal- lowed. They can ' t overcome their dislike of medicine even though they may admit that the bitter stuff is good for them whether they like it or not. But in spite of his general Saturday-class antipathies, K.U. ' s student realizes that all University men haven ' t rushed out madly to join the army or navy. That authorities haven ' t heard of more than a few idle threats about transfers to other schools. That working stu- dents are happy because they have exemption slips. That probably just as many persons will fall in love in the spring. That there will be no more nervous breakdowns than usual. And that no one is going to lose his Christmas- dinner appetite because of the situation. Yes, we still maintain that K.U. students are sophisticated. That they know the score. That they did protest the Saturday class measure because, at first taste, they couldn ' t discover any good in it not because they were merely stubborn or lazy. And that they gave up not because they had to, not be- cause they were afraid but because they had more important things to worry about. Long papers and quizzes were due. Diverting moonlight still beamed down over Fraser. Christmas was coming with a thousand details to plan, a thousand things to get out of the way. . . And primarily, students gave up because, come what may, most of them deep inside love the University, realize their opportunities, wouldn ' t give up the joyous, nerve-wracking, maddening, delightful days on the Hill for any number of sleeping Saturday mornings.

A Record of Campus Life, Trends, and Personalities of 1940-41 FRIENDS AND FROGS A CHROMATIC ESSAY by HELEN RHODA HOOPES (Title from Aristophanes) Y7HEN I first came to K.U. need we clutter up this true confession with dates? we used to have chapel. Every day. For fifteen minutes. It came between the second and third hours, and was a de- lightful pause in the day ' s occupations. You drifted in from some room in Fraser Hall, seated yourself, and prepared for rest. The woodwork of the chapel was in its original state mid- Victorian walnut be- fore the hand of the desecrator I mean decorator was laid heavily on it with paintbrush dripping a clammy gray that gave it to go Gilbertian the bloom of cold gravy. It was warm and brown and cozy, and there was a pulpit and a bible. And the deep voice of Dr. Frank Strong boomed out, exhort- ing the freshmen to be earnest of purpose, and to continue to believe in God, even though they had learned something about splitting the atom, or what- ever it was they learned in science classes. I never knew. It was in two science classes. My adviser was a zoologist. Need I tell you that I was at once enrolled in an afternoon zoology class? Oh. Well, then, I will tell you: I was. And when I went to class, the very first thing we had to do was to cut up a frog. There at the desk sat my adviser. I realized that I had been shanghaied. I jumped over- board, swam right back to the wharf, and asked to be released. I was re- leased, all right; but only to be shoved into another science class. In the words of the song, Oh, science, I gotta be where you are. Do you have to cut up things in this class? I demanded of my new instructor. I was desperate. And fearless. Or almost fearless. The teacher was kind and patient, and ex- plained that there would be the minimum of cutting. Ah! That there now minimum! I went up to class one afternoon this was also an afternoon session; and now listen, just listen to the fuss being kicked up by present day students against such regulations - the sissies. But we were strong and faithful and noble and we took it on the lam. I went up, opened the door, took one look, and fled. Every table held a pan of dirty brown wax, and on every slab of wax lay a pale frog, upturned, awaiting results. Oh, dead, of course. The place was a morgue. I sat out on the steps (of what is now the journal- ism building) and cried. Then I dried my handker- chief, and cried some more. Finally, I began to feel conspicuous- a thing I abhor! -so I got up, still softly sobbing into my wet mouchoir, and, determined to hide my tears from my fellow-students, I stumbled down the dark corridor to another room, and opened the door on another class of students, all happily engaged in cutting up their own personal frogs. I went back to mine. By this time my teacher had cut him up; so I drew him. I was pretty good at this; and I was really awfully good at microscope work. I would find out beforehand what we were supposed to see. There ' s always somebody good at something, and if you ask them, they are only too happy to inform you. So I would ask and my victim would impart. Or I would look at the picture in the book, but only as a last resort. Then I would squint industriously at nothing; and draw. And the teacher would mark it Vague and C . Check! That job was done. Once and once only I saw something. We were looking at the web-foot of a living frog. (No! No, thank you. No frogs ' legs. I ' m allergic to them. I ' ll have a clear soup, and a Kansas City steak, between rare and medium; and French fries; lettuce with thousand island dressing.

CHRISTMAS AND MISTLETOE! MISTLETOE AND CHRISTMAS! SHE ' S MY GIRL, SAYS THE BELLIGERENT FELLOW ON THE RIGHT (Photos by Ed Garich) by CHUCK ELLIOTT HOMECOMING for 1940 is a thing of the past. It opened with a yell and a promise and closed with a jive and a promise. A lot of things happened, however, between the yell and the jive and the promises. The week-end started a little early for the KuKus and the Jay Janes in their weekly Thursday-night trek to find out if the Jay- hawks were going to win. Up-laters responded with the trite but hopeful promise, HELL, YES. That was the charge which set the birds to flying. And fly they did for there was an enthusiastic little flock at the Friday morn- ing rally in front of Robinson Gym. Events lulled until evening since all of the organized houses brought their pledglings back into the fold to prepare house and float decorations. The respite was brief, however, for at 8 p.m. the 26 floats started moving down Massachusetts street. Amidst waving oil torches and flares, the rolling decorations crawled along the thronged street as a slighfv drizzle came slanting down to give a prevue of the game-day ' s weather. SIGMA NU WINS FLOAT PRIZE The White Star of Sigma Nu prevailed when it came to handing out the $10 blue ribbon. The boys from out West Hills way either had taken a cue from John Steinbeck himself or had listened attentively to Hilden Gibsen ' s vivid descriptive narrative of the Okies ' jaunt to the coast. At any rate, they decked out one of their little autos to look like a typical Okie wreck. Tagging along in the rear was a Jay- YELLS, JIVES, That Was 1940 ' s SAVE THE DECORATIONS! ATMOSPHERE!!

The Sigma Nus appreciated the $10. Everyone tried to be satisfied. The parade continued to Sixth street where loyal rooters turned about face and marched in order back down the street to the WREN building. The rest of the paraders got to the same spot but not in order. The blazing oil torches were effectively squelched at this point by several zealous gendarmes who attempted to aid the Jayhawk cheerleaders in calming the horde. The WREN rally was a success if the num- ber of speakers had anything to do with it. Five members of the University ' s first foot- ball team of 1890 and their manager, E. M. Hopkins, retired professor of English, each spoke a few words. Hopkins intimated that there was no proselyting of players at K. U. during his college days. Dick Amerine, shirt- flapping varsity tail-back of the past three years, was a little more vehement declaring flatly that as far as he was concerned there still was no paying of athletes here. GRETA GIBSON IS QUEEN After coaches Gwinn Henry and Vic Hurt of Kansas and Tom-tom Stidham of Oklahoma each had a look into the microphone, hopping birds in the street wanted to see the Mt. Oread pulchritude which was to reign over the festivities. What they wanted was nothing compared to what Queen Greta Gibson, Gamma Phi Beta, desired. She wanted only six touchdowns for Kansas. Then three other lovely lassies were brought forward to act as attendants to the queen. These were Edna Givens, Kappa Alpha Theta; Shirley Tholen, Kappa Kappa Gamma; and Jeanne Moyer, Sigma Kappa. The spotlight performer of the evening, however, had not made his appearance yet. Sergeant William Kollender had been busy with his pencil and paper behind the scenes. In language that would make Al Smith appear a polished orator, Kollender announced the prize-winning floats. Following Sigma Nu, Kappa Alpha Theta took the $8 second money for her God-Bless-America-and-K.U.-too, SUNDAY MORN! 98 THE JAYHAWKER please float. Sigma Alpha Epsilon won $7 for third place. After the rally, which was broadcast in part by station WREN, the loyal rooters hurried through the rain down to the new Lawrence Armory where the Jayhawk Frolic was in progress. A new innovation to Homecoming, the Frolic at least got the crowd out of the cold rain which was becoming quite a bother. Ted North displayed his Hollywood person- ality and Billie Doris Jarboe did a little hot- foot tap-dancing. John Cress proved that he was a pretty good tumbler. The Sigma Chi German band, the Modern Choir, and the fancy skaters, were enter- taining but proved nothing. Nothing of Home- coming importance was in the offing Saturday morning. Consequently the streets past the 36 decorated houses were well traveled. The rain had done nothing to heighten the cleverness of the displays but the gen- eral theme of the decorations was still distinguishable. PI KAPPA ALPHA, TENNESSEE CLUB, AND CHI OMEGA STEAL HOUSE PRIZES Pi Kappa Alpha had one of the more unique set-ups and took the $8 first prize offered in the frater- nity and men ' s dor- mitory division. Their display was a big Jayhawker sit- ting on a victory egg in a nest made of an old broken-down prairie schooner. A smaller Jayhawk sat nearby, reflectively smok- ing a cigarette. It ' s about time, he said, eyeing a hatchet, to hatch that egg! Chi Omega captured first honors in the sorority and women ' s dormitory division. Their display pictured a Sooner wagon, drawn by an old broken-down nag, being stopped by a Jayhawk traffic cop while seven little Jay- hawks marched safely by. Tennessee Club won the only prize offered in the unorganized house division. A football- shaped racing car christened Coached by Henry sped through the goal posts, leaving the Sooner wagon in a cloud of dust. These events should form a prelude to a climax and they do. The climax was set for two o ' clock in Memorial Stadium and the event un- folded as scheduled. That was about all that unfolded, too, for the 6,000 shiver- ing fans viewing the 38th struggle be- tween the football teams of the Univer- sities of Kansas and Oklahoma stayed folded in blankets until the final shot. The partisan crowd was in a re- ceptive mood at half- time. K.U. had been playing her best game of the season. The weather had been disagreeable but bearable up to that point. However, the half-time whistle brought a new era. Top: Chi Omega got a blue ribbon for this. Middle: Cheerleaders and WREN cooperated for spirit. Bottom: Queens four of them plus Ted North plus Fred Harris. DECEMBER 1940 99 Rain started falling but seemingly did not stop the half-time festivities from moving along as scheduled. Those festivities de- picted a progression of events during the 50 years which K.U. has been en- gaged in football. The University of Kansas band, 115 members strong, marched on the field to play, in circle for- mation. Auld Lang Syne was the opening theme. The 24 members of the Swiss flag corps formed a bodyguard. Several old style cars paraded around the field as the band played The World is Waiting for the Sunrise, Keep the Home Fires Burning, and Roses of Picardy. After the band went into star formation and played Fred Waring ' s The Banner of Old K.U., 14 Jay Janes carried K.U. ' s banner across the field. The 23rd Homecoming queen and her attendants were then presented to the chilled crowd by Bill Farmer, president of the Men ' s Student Council, and Fred Harris, chairman of the Board of Regents. At the conclusion of the program, the rain graciously turned into a sprinkle and the foot- ball game continued. The Sooners themselves proved gracious Southern gentlemen until nearly midway in the final period when power did assert itself to prove that even the Great Lester couldn ' t make Kansas victorious on that day. Homecoming was entering its last stages as the night moved on and many an alien car rolled out of Lawrence. However, there re- mained one final anti-climax to this week-end, HOMECOMING COMMITTEE PLANS Wade Pierce, Chairman; Chancellor Malotl and Fred Ellsworth the Homecoming Varsity dance in the Union. A packed house made many a toe blush un- seen as Clayton Harbur provided music for a crowd composed mostly of homecomers and Okies. The psychological moment finally ar- rived and it was announced the jive man of the tin-pan circuit, Larry Clinton of Dipsy- Doodle fame, had been signed to play for the Sophomore Hop. That capped it all. There was nothing left. The week-end had contained rallies, a parade, speeches, a novelty program, shows, house decorations, a football game, reunions, a dance, and now -- Larry Clinton to come. The ' Hawks had seen enough. The bed was nearing and Sunday was here. Or Sunday was here and the bed was nearing. It made no difference. They were synonymous. But Sunday Was Near . . . Monday Meant The ' Hawks Had Seen Enough 100 THE JAYHAWKER BLOWERS- DRUMMERS TWIRLERS The University S nd (Pholoa by Hal Ruppcnthal) by JIM SURFACE TV1 ANY years ago, a bunch of blowers banded together. To this banded bunch of blowers, some grand drummers and some hand twirlers were added. Today the blowers and the drummers and the twirlers are known as the University band. Moving from ancient history up to modern, students find that the K. U. band is today a service organization of 118 students whose common purpose is to entertain. Without the band, parades would be solemn processions. Football and basketball games would have no color except that in the players ' suits. Pep rallies would be funeral services. And convo- cations would be as toneless as an hour spent in class. The band is not only an important element of University life, it is a necessity without which this University would revert back to the sobriety and monotony of the monastic schools of medieval times. A University band is as much a modern improvement in educa- tion as the addition of water fountains to the buildings or the introduction of psychology as a subject. But, that Mount Oread band is really two bands. In band terminology, they are the marching band, composed of 104 marchers; and the concert band of 118 members, an addition of 14 girls. The latter plays for all University functions where actual across-the-field, down-the-street, or over- the-court marching is not required. OTH bands are directed by Russell L. Wiley, who proudly says that al- though he never expects to get a perfect band, he is get- ting closer and closer every year. Mr. Wiley, a native Texan, came to the Univer- B DECEMBER 1940 101 sity from Phillips University, Enid, Okla. As a college student at Simmons and Randolph Colleges, both in Texas, and later at Drake University, Mr. Wiley majored in violin. From the violin, he branched over into wood- winds which eventually led to his interest in bands. Under their director, band members have an organization of their own. Backed by an iron- clad constitution, the executive staff meets monthly with Mr. Wiley to formulate policies and schedules. That executive staff is com- posed of a president, two vice-presidents, busi- ness manager, secretary, trea surer, two stu- dent directors, and the field drum major. The last three officers are appointed by Mr. Wiley and the others are elected by members of the band. In addition to providing entertainment for many people, the band is a source of joy and experience for its members. The primary project of the group, at present, is to build a large musical library. Band members fre- quently read 10 entirely new concert numbers at one practice. They plan to know 150 num- bers by the end of the school year. The method not only helps the band in its work on the Hill, but it also helps to prepare the many members who plan to go into instru- mental work in education. At present 52 members of the organization are Fine Arts majors. The majority of these majors plan to teach instrumental music in high schools and colleges. TITTLE opportunity for late week-morning sleeping is given the group it practices five times each week, at 7:30 a.m. Saturday and Sunday are the only exceptions. In prep- aration for the three formal concerts given annually, the band augments this practice routine with long nocturnal sessions, striving for that elusive perfection which gives the K. U. band its high national ranking. Each spring, blowers, drummers, and twirl- ers take a tour over Kansas, playing in high schools and public gatherings. The purpose is to help in spreading the good will and good name of the University. On the theory that all playing and no play makes Jack a dull bandman, the band has three annual social affairs. The first is the fall smoker, designed as a get-acquainted-affair. Two formal parties, a fall and a spring shindig, complete the list. Band men have a duty to perform here on Mount Oread and realize it. When duty calls, the band obeys, says Mr. Wiley. This is the spirit that keeps the band here during school vacations practicing or playing for University functions. And this is the spirit which gets the members up at dawn for 7:30 practices. Intricate notes are formed by the lips of tliese band members. Just before Ihe concert, he remembers that he has to shave. Across many a field, Saralena Sherman has led these strutting Iwirlers, (Photo by Hal Branine by BOB TRUMP CEVERAL problems confront genial Forrest C. Phog Allen as he prepares to send his Jayhawk basketeers in quest of their seventeenth Big Six championship in 22 years under his direction. When Co-captains Don Ebling and Dick Harp hung up their crimson and blue warmups for good at the end of last season and Ralph Miller decided to rest his injured knee a year before resuming com- petition, Phog lost three of the main cogs in his high-geared offensive machine. Add to this the departure of Bruce Voran, the versatile money player who was hel d out of the starting lineup for insertion wherever needed most, and Jack Sands, dependable veteran quarterback, and you see why the Kansas coach says dubiously, You can ' t put senior heads on sophomores. Allen, however, needn ' t worry about three of the positions on his starting quintet this winter. Back for their last and greatest season with the Jayhawks are Howard Engleman, forward; Bob Allen, quarter back; and John Kline, guard. After a slow start last year due to an injured knee, Engleman came with a rush. As the season neared its end it was the high scoring Arkansas City athlete who helped the Jayhawks bring the Western N.C.A.A. championship to Mount Oread. Calling the signals from the Jayhawk quarterback post, devised by his father, will be Bob Allen, whose ball handling and all-round floor work won him berths on the All-Big Six and All-American N.C.A.A. quintets in 1939. Allen ' s analytical ability and general- ship have shown to even greater advantage so far this year. Instead of being called a center this season, he will be listed as a guard since the plays that posi- tion on defense. QUESTION ... But Phog Allen, His Milk Bottle, and His Squad Have 17 Bath Champion- ships for Inspiration JOHN KLINE, big, capable rebound artist, com- pletes the experienced trio in the Jayhawk start- ing lineup. Just listen to what his coach has to say: John ' s play has improved remarkably this winter. He ' ll be a marvel in some games, and we ' re expecting his offense to improve, too. Three other lettermen who watched most of last year ' s action from the Kansas bench will have their opportunity to carry part of the load this winter. Bill Hogben, a smooth guard, Bob Johnson, high speed forward, and T. P. Hunter, rangy guard, are the carryovers who ' ll be spending many minutes in this year ' s games. Johnson, the fastest of Allen ' s speedy Jayhawks, has been shifted from forward to guard this year, while Hunter has been moved from guard to forward. T CKING these veterans and waiting to take over in case they falter, will be numerous soph- omores, squadmen, and transfers. Prominent in Phog ' s plans not only for 1940 but also for 1941 and even 1942 are Marvin Sollenberger, Charles Walker, Virgil Wise, Norman Sanneman, John Buescher, Jim Arnold, Vance Hall, John Hallberg, and Bill Matthews. Sollenberger is a polished guard and quarterback. There have been only a few of my men able to play the single post well. I expect ' Solly ' to be right up in that class, Phog says. Walker has been moved to forward and has im- pressed the Kansas mentor with his scoring ability. Wise, another candidate for the reserve quarterback Phog Is Gunning for Those Big-Six Contests and When He (inns, He an 4 DECEMBER 1940 103 MARK TEAM (Photo by Maurice Jackson] job, has shown the most rapid improvement of any player on the squad. Of Sanneman, Phog avers that if he had played three seasons at Kansas he would have been one of the Jayhawk all-time greats. Buescher, who may give the first string forwards all the competition they want, should be a standout for the Jayhawks before his basketball days are over. Arnold, a reserve last year, has made rapid strides and will be one of the depsnd- ables at guard. Hall, with his unusual hook shot and his rugged, aggressive spirit, may take his place in the starting lineup dur- ing the coming years. Hallberg, the 6 foot, 8 inch forward can not yet be rated a finished player, but his coach says he learns as easily as any man who ever played for him. Matthews is another promising forward. Blair, equally adept at forward or guard, is still another Jayhawker marked for future reference. These, then, are the Jayhawks with whom Phog enters a 17-game schedule which he classes as one of the roughest in his career. Beginning with the Long- horns of Texas University, who last year lost to the Southwest conference champion Rice Institute quintet by one point, and finishing with Oklahoma A. and M., a bitter Kansas rival and consistently one of the best teams in the nation, the schedule contains no breathers. AMONG the Big Six teams, Phog thinks that Oklahoma ' s Sooners, led by Carlisle, Corbin, and Ford, will top all the rest. After Bruce Drake ' s quintet, he likes Nebraska with Bandall, Held, and Fitz; Iowa State, boasting an all-veteran lineup; Missouri; and Kansas State. Of his own Jayhawks, Allen has this to say: Kansas will play some awfully good games this year but may lack height and experience. I ' d call it a question mark team. We have a lot to learn, and we ' re going to do that learning against non-conference opponents. All the games outside of the Big Six which I have scheduled are merely for practice. We don ' t care about winning them. It ' s the conference race that counts, and that ' s what we ' re gunning for. And Phog ' s lifetime record of 524 victories against 116 losses seems to indicate that the Kansas coach usually gets what he goes after.

On the morning of November 7, the Rising Sun of Pachacamac rose to shine over another freshman victory for the society, now in its 29th year on the campus. It was a sorry sort of a victory for Pach- acamac in that it only won the presidency and Mo BULLETS Or Shooting by DAVE WHITNEY one student council seat, and thus left the Progressive Student Government League with a one- vote majority on the M.S.C. Freshman men and women turned out to the polls in very light numbers, with only 381 men casting ballots and only 138 women vot- ing. The men disregarded party loyalties to the extent of giving two posts to each party, but electing all independent men. The women, using combines rather than political parties, elected an Alpha Chi and a Miller Hall girl to their two offices. JAC K M I LAM of Pachacamac , from Topeka , was elected to the office of president of the class of ' 44. In the past the presidential slot has been honorary with the lucky candi- date basking in the temporary glory of campus publicity and being one of the few freshmen on the Hill to have the advantage of a student BILL BROWNLEE MARION HAYNE S JOHN BROWNE DECEMBER 1940 105 FOR BALLOTS at the Polls! council dance pass. However, this year Milam says that he intends to put the platform on which he rode into office in effect; and he has already begun the appointment of committees to assist him. Treasurer of the class is Bill Brownlee of P.S.G.L. Vice-president is Evelyn Schroeder and secretary is Evelyn Hodgson. The two M.S.C. represen- tatives elected were Marion Haynes, Pa- chacamac, and John Browne, P.S.G.L. TTAYNES was in- - -- - ducted at the first meeting of the Men ' s Student Coun- cil after the election, and was confronted with the astonishing situation of having a Pachacamac majority behind him. Imme- diately an attempt was made to put one of the provisions of the freshman plat- form of Pachacamac into effect. The at- tempt consisted of a move to obtain a dance for only freshman students. P.S.G.L. rushed a man to a telephone and hurried a few of their men up to the meeting to kill the resolution, however. Several tried and true traditions were broken in this election by the class of ' 44. This was the first time in history that every man elected from both Pachacamac and P.S.G.L. was unaffiliated with a fraternity. This was the first time since Bob Brockett was elected freshman president that a student from some other town than Lawrence has headed a freshman class. The campaigns held by the two parties this year were rather more quiet than usual. P.S.G.L., counting on a strong dormitory vote to sweep its candidates into office did very little house-to-house campaigning, and Pacha- camac sent its candidates around to meet the new men in a one week period. The 1940 election presented a rather dull time to an old grad who happened to be on the Hill on election day.

Last year ' s championship game was identical to this year ' s battle as to the method of scoring the winning touchdown. Dick Reid, Phi Gam star back, tossed a pass intended for Bill Beven; Hamilton, Sig Alph, deflected the ball and Chain Healy, Phi Gam, caught the pass for the winning margin. Yankey tallied the extra point and the Phi Gams took the football crown from Beta Theta Pi, winner in 1939. During the regular schedule, the Phi Gams showed their superiority. They won the first division title in an impressive manner and qualified for the playoffs. Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Beta Theta Pi fol- lowed them in order in the division standings. The Sig Alphs, hard-fighting runner-up eleven, rang up six straight triumphs to top the second division. Sigma Chi, Phi Kappa Psi, and Sigma Nu, long considered strong Alf-competition, ranked second, third, and fourth respectively and gained playoff berths. TN THE opening round of - the playoffs, the Sig Alphs nosed out the Sigma Nus 12 to 7 on a pass, Harp to Hamilton, in the last three minutes of play. The Phi Delts edged out a fine Sig Ep team 6 to when Newcomer passed to Wells who made a shoestring catch to score. Sigma Chi fell before a powerful Beta offense in losing 6 to 12 in the lower bracket of the tournament with Stoland and Littooy running for the Beta touch- downs. A Phi Gam attack paced by Reid, Beven, and Olson gathered two six- pointers in the opening quarter, held this lead over the Phi Psis, and won 12-0. With the I ' lii Gam Tourh Hall Crown Decided, Intramural- ites Settle Down In a Lung Winter ' s Czoutt (Photo by Art Wolf) In the semi-final contest, both finalists, Phi Gams and Sig Alphs, won by the spe- cial five-play intramural ruling. The rul- ing is used in case two teams tie in the playoffs. Each team is given five plays and the team gaining the most yardage is victorious. On the final play in this extra session, the Phi Gams, tied with Beta Theta Pi, pulled the most spectacular pass of the season. Dick Reid fired the pigskin 35 yards to Bill Beven in rain and darkness to pull a lost game out of the fire. The Betas had outfought the Phi Gams but lost on this last pass. The Sig Alphs and the Phi Belts had battled to a to tie. In the extra five plays, the Sig Alphs gathered 16 yards to the Phi Belts ' eight to win. SURPRISING pre-playoff games were the Phi Gams 7 to 6 win over the A.T.O. ' s; Sig Alphs 13, Phi Psis 0; Sig Eps 7, Phi Belts 0; Sig Eps 14, Betas 7; Sigma Chis 0, Tekes 0. The all-stars, however, were not the only standouts in intramural football. Many others deserve recognition for their fine work. Healy, Shears, Phi Gams; Kelchner, B.

They had won the A divi- sion tournament for the second straight time the preceding year by defeating Kappa Sigma in the first two games of a two-out-of-three series. Competition for the Galloping Ghosts a year ago was Alpha Kappa Psi, Delta Chi, and Phi Gamma Delta. The last proved to THE JAYHAWKER be all that was necessary to topple the Gallop- ing Ghosts from their throne. Fall handball finals find Healy, Phi Gam, opposing Hellings, Phi Delt, for the title. In the tennis tournament, Heiberg, Newman Club; Black, Delta Tau; and Russell, D. U., have reached the semi-finals. The Newman Club will meet the winner of the Jayhawk Co-op-Beta team match in the horseshoe team final. Fleagle of the Newman Club has also qualified for the finals in the individual horse- shoe tournament. Potter, Phi Delt, is the farthest advanced in the all-University tennis elimination. TOUCH ? FOOTBALL! ANYWAY, IT WAS A GREAT SEASON AND THOSE BIG HOPES WERE GRAND U fille Tfiey WHITE WINGS AND CRADLE SONG by BILL FEY (Photos by Hal Kupprnthal) FIRST of the seasonal plays which Hill dramatists bring to the students via Fraser Theater was the Philip Barry comedy, White Wings. The play was well received though not well attended. White Wings is a story of an American tradition the street cleaner and the throes and woes he experienced when his became an extinct profession because of the (at least as far as he was concerned) clean automobile. The play is good comedy as far as plot and situation go, but Mr. Barry turned out ex- tremely bad dialogue not up to his usual standard. Feminine lead of the show was Deane Butler, one of several in the cast who were new to Fraser stage. Her boy friend and gallant white wing was Frank Heck, another newcomer. White Wings was a Kansas Players ' pro- duction which means there were faculty mem- bers aboard the vehicle, and further means that the best action came from them. Prof. Allen Crafton and associate Bobert Calder- wood sparkplugged a bad first act into a swell show in the second and third. Crafton, as director, did his usual fine job. Jessica Crafton was in the show too, but was virtually unseen since she played the for position of Josie. Now, Josie is a horse which is a very necessary part of this play about white wings. Virginia Bantleon played Josie ' s aft position. New faculty member and newcomer was James Barton. He increased his popularity rating considerably herewith. In two capacities Don Dixon turned in orchid-begetting performances as scenic de- signer and builder and as actor. The other (Continued on Page 155) No, try it this way, Director Barton tells Shirley Ruble, rehearsing for Cradle Song. Teresa, fteola Durand, feels love a-creepin up also in Cradle Song.

That was the reaction of the writer as he sat down to write a summary of the 1940 football season at the University of Kansas. At times during the season, however, the small band of Jayhawkers looked as though they were finally going to get going. They showed a brand of football, occasionally, that was a reproduction of some former great Jay- hawker teams. But unfortunately this type of football did not remain long with the Crimson and Blue players. Kansas remained as the pre- season write-ups had doped her just not enough mobile, titanic tackles, and big- crashing ends. Nevertheless all due credit must be given to Coach Gwinn Henry, Line Coach Vic Hurt; and Head Scout Harry Lansing, who tried to boost the Kansas team to the position at the top of the ladder. But Kansas just didn ' t have the top position ball team or type of ball players. The backs were fast and slippery, but much too small; while the line was just an average-sized college line, not the size of an outstanding University football line. Inex- perience and injuries in the line were prevalent. Special mention in these columns should and must go to Don Pierce, who played a bang-up game at center for the Jayhawkers, whether the score was 53 to 2 against, or 26 ' Photos of flayers by Maurice Jackson) to in favor of the Kansans. Pierce received praise for his play from almost every sports writer in the middle-west, and was boomed for All-Big Six center by the Kansas City Journal. As Parke Carroll, Journal sports editor said, in spite of his injuries, Pierce has the drive to go and he just won ' t quit, even if he does remind one of a walking hospital. Carroll was speaking of Don ' s glasses, charley-horse, lame ankle, and two missing finger nails. If the Big Six has ever had a center that deserves the honor, it is Mr. Donald Hite Pierce, even though the Kansas City Star placed him on the second all-star team. NEBRASKA 53, KANSAS FIGHTS Following the 20 to victory over the Drake Bulldogs, Kansas fans saw a little track meet right in the middle of football season. It was scheduled as a football game but the Jay- hawkers were able to set Mr. Herman Bohrig down behind his own goal for a total of only two lonesome points. Yike Francis, Butch Luther, Wayne Blue, and Harry Hopp were the outstanding outstanders for Nebraska, while Don Pierce looked better than any other K. U. player. KANSAS STATE 20, KANSAS On October 26, the Hawkers journeyed to Manhattan to take on the Kansas State Wildcats. The Wildcats live up to their name gloriously, by clawing the Kansas offensive attack to death, 20 to 0. Led by their human cannonball, Kent Duwe, who ran, passed, and kicked the daylights out of the Kansas team, the Staters easily trounced their ancient rivals. The Aggies gained 270 yards from rush- ing compared to 47 yards for the Jayhawkers.

The Wildcat back counted for two touchdowns, passed for another, and converted extra point kicks for the hosts. In the first period, Kansas went to the Villanova 1-yard line, but could not push across the six points. In the second period, the Kansans tried a lateral on their own 11, which resulted in another Wildcat touchdown. Basca then let fly with a 10-yard pass to the Kansas four, where he scored on a second down plunge. He kicked the extra point. Late in the second half, Irving Hayden passed to Ward Crowell for K. U. ' s only touchdown. Basca set up another Villanova touchdown with a pass to Behot. It wasn ' t a Kansas night, under the lights in Philadelphia. OKLAHOMA 13, KANSAS Just another game that could be considered an almost! For three quarters the Kansans held the much-favored Sooners, but five minutes after the beginning of the fourth quarter, Orville Mathews sped 42 yards on an end run to score the first touchdown of the game. It was a determined Kansas eleven, charged with a fire born of the home-coming festivities. The teams battled back and forth on the slightly muddy field, until the start of the fourth quarter. Kansas went to the Sooner 27-yard line where little Chester Gibbens tried his famous play a drop-kick for a field goal, (Continued on Page 152) (Photos by Hal Branine!

Economy may be a popular policy, but there is a limit to it. Junior has reached that limit. If something drastic isn ' t done, this situation will probably prove to be embar- rassing for someone and the someone will prob- ably be Junior. Now apply Junior ' s plight to the University of Kansas. Each year the state legislature makes an appropriation to the University ' s department of buildings and grounds for maintenance. The popula- tion count of this alma mater has almost doubled in the past two decades. On the other hand the amount of capital available for its upkeep has been halved! It is equally as hopeless a task to try to clothe Junior in a too-small pant as it is to attempt to operate an educational institution with little or no capital. Few students realize the importance of the Uni- versity ' s buildings and grounds organization. It sweats under one of the biggest business loads on the Hill! It has charge of the complete maintenance of around 1500 acres of land on which there are 39 buildings. Besides a complete crew of office workers, the department employs groups of carpenters, elec- tricians, gardeners, laborers, painters, plumbers, steam fitters, janitors, and power plant operators. Departmental employees plant flowers in the spring, mow grass in the summer, rake leaves in the fall, and shovel snow in the winter. If these services were discontinued, their absence would be severely felt by every student and em- ployee of the University. There would be neither heat, light, nor telephone service. Buildings would be dirty, unpainted, and neglected. The campus soon C. G. Bayles would be overgrown with weeds and covered with trash. In short, the operation of the University with- out a department of buildings and grounds would be unthinkable. Nevertheless, it is no more unthinkable than the operation of such a division without suffi- cient working capital. C. G. Bayles has been superintendent of the de- partment since 1927. At that time the annual state appropriation for repair and improvements was around $70,000. Although more than a dozen major buildings have been added to the campus since then, the appropriation for this year was only $34,000. Because of inadequate resources, Mr. Bayles has been forced to cut operating costs to an irreducible minimum. According to Mr. Bayles, In the one line of repair and improvement alone, our funds are $30,000 below what they should be to satisfactorily maintain the University. Students hear a great deal of talk about subsidizing a K. U. football team it ' s a strain on finances now to plant tulips in the Chi circle. The generosity of friends has already provided the University with most of its buildings. Is it too much to ask for sufficient funds to take care of them? No actual classroom space has been added to the system since 1923. Expansion now has to take the shape of either a move to an attic or an excava- tion in a basement. The hope and savior of the buildings and grounds department is More Money for Maintenance. With hopeful eye on the state legislature, Superintendent Bayles patiently awaits his M day!

Last spring, he composed two songs for Sing and Swing, Hill musical comedy. In his music, he has some strictly individual ideas and theories that he hopes to use on someone ' s symphony sometime. Clarence is impartial in choosing a favorite sport. He indulges in swimming, basketball, and ice skating, when his time permits. Considering his music a hobby, rather than a pro- fession, Pete loves to sing in the old barber shop style.

Last year Carter was a member of Owl Society, and at present he is within the sacred walls of Sachem. Back in the beginning, before B.M.O.C. days, Carter was interested in dramatics and bridge.

Thinks no one is better than people, espe- cially tall ones. Plays bridge any time she gets a chance, but hates players who don ' t take the game seriously. Emily Jean belongs to the Jay Janes and Dramatics Club in addition to teaching some little first graders at the Episcopal church Sunday School.

Roscoe admits, I have been a radical in my time but I ' m becoming a conservative. The fact that his greatest ambition is to get a job and marry a girl from Osage City may have something to do with his change of opinion. The things that please him most are steaks, more steaks, soft editing pencils, and stories about Reginald Buxton. He dis- likes campus politicians, guys who write unsigned letters to the editor about football teams, and petty things like classes.

When they caravaned their trinkets and frankincense to the Child nineteen hundred years ago, they started some- thing which caught the public fancy and seems to be here to stay - like Franklin D. They started some- thing, and it ' s about to finish me. As a result of their originality, I have something really im- portant to worry about now. Here it is two days before Xmas and I ' m still on the ragged edge of complete paupership. That ' s the reason Christmas is about as popular with me as a Saturday class. At first I was naive enough to depend upon the fairy-story theory that room- mates are the salt of the earth. I conceived the plan of touching said roommate for the ten he owes me and ten more; only he ' s not as mentally musclebound as I thought after looking at the midsemester report he got from the Dean ' s office three weeks ago. The guy must be psychic because he brought up the matter first, but with a slight change in the viewpoint. He observed that it was I who owed the ten, and would I please pay him off so he could do his Christmas shopping. Obvi- ously, that was a horse of a different color. Besides, anyone who would ask his roommate to settle a gentleman ' s financial agreement at this time of the year would ask a gal for a Wednesday night date just to save ten cents. Then I had another idea. I went to work. It was a good idea and theoretically should have saved the day. It had been successfully carried out in thousands of ways by thousands of people for thousands of years. Therefore, since I was a people, it should certainly work for me. I went down to Weeber ' s department store and after much bended-knee stuff, pulled down a job. I was relegated to the counters in the base- ment where I was supposed to be less likely to drive away customers. Now you would think that it would be nearly impossible for a person to do anything wrong in a basement, but did. The first day I was standing on a ladder getting some shirts from the top shelf when I fell off, pretty well demolishing the counter below. The second day I was explaining to Fanny Jones how we lost the football game four weeks ago, and I knocked an expensive makeup kit off its display case. The third day I was wondering how a man could say the things Mr. Weeber said to me and still go home and look his wife and children in the eye. But maybe I had it coming to me I don ' t know.

After 30 years, her teaching career shows a long list of worthy achievements. Miss Hoopes was the first president of the Poetry Society of Kansas, and the first national president of Phi Lambda Theta. She helped organize the Quill Club nationally, aided in the formation of the Rhadamanthi Club, founded the Gamma Phi Beta chapter on the Hill, aided in organizing the National College Poetry Society of America, and in 1927 she edited the book Contemporary Kansas Poets. In 1926 she won second place in the literary contest of the Kansas Authors Club, of which she is a life member. She is also a member of the Kansas chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. Miss Hoopes confides that she has been on the Hill so long that she has forgotten her likes and dislikes of K. U., EXCEPT that, she ab- solutely abhors red fingernails.

At only five cents a throw Hill women met each other the afternoon of October 16 at the Gingham Frolic, the female stag given each year by the Y.W.C.A. and the W.S.G.A. They danced to Harbur ' s music in the Memorial Union ballroom and learned that it is possible, but not probable, to have a good time with- out a man along. . . . On Friday night freshmen men paraded downtown in their prettiest pajamas and got in the spirit of the annual nightshirt parade. . . . The Kappa Sigs, that same night, turned their chapter house into a Red Dog Inn, and entertained their dates on a strictly informal basis. . . . And up in the Memorial Union ballroom, Clyde Bysom gave out for the I.S.A. opening Varsity. . . . After the Nebraska game the next day Phi Gams played Dogpatch at their chapter house, even going so far as to import the original Dogpatch kissing rock. . . . Kansas Delts went picnicking with Baker University Delts near Baldwin on their annual chicken fry. . . . and a hayrack ride out into God ' s country kept the Tennessee Club boys amused that Saturday night. . . . The next Friday night, October 25, saw two fall parties and the last of the open houses. Gamma Phi Beta held open house in the Memorial Union ballroom with Harbur ' s or- chestra to fill up those conversational lapses. 122 THE JAYHAWKER Above : The Kappa Sigs turned their chapter house into a lied Dog Inn .

Corbin Hall and Battenfeld Hall decided winter was coming, and held their parties along Indian summer lines. . . . On November 1, the Sig Alfs, the Sigma Chis, and Pi Kappa Alphs somewhat wan from midsemesters, celebrated Halloween, all at ,. parties at their respective chapter houses, while the Memorial Union ballroom bulged with students having a good time at the Pumpkin Prom. . . . The next evening Phi Psis gave a Ship- wreck party in the Memorial Union ballroom a la beachcomber with a few cannibals thrown in, while the Belts paddled their freshmen at their annual Paddle Party at the chapter house. . . . The Sigma Nus, too, entertained at a barn dance while over on west Campus road the Delta Chis hung up their red and yellow sign and let down their hair. ... A number of Hill coeds got their first peek into Battenfeld and Carruth halls that night when the two dorms entertained at their fall parties. . . . The next weekend, God bless i t, was Homecoming and coeducators did all the things good college students are supposed to do on Homecoming weekend; i. e., entertaining alums, sleeping on the floor, and in general being slightly childish and unsophisticated. . . . That Friday night before Homecoming the D.U. ' s, a bunch of clever fellows, sur- prised their dates with a will-reading ' party - - the invitations to which were court summons. All very spooky and fun ! . . . Saturday night saw the old grads get- ting the spirit at the Homecoming varsity in the Memorial Union ballroom, while Sooners and Jayhawkers trampled mer- rily on each other ' s feet. . . . Another Friday night, the fifteenth of November, and the Pi K.A. ' s, who love Art for Art ' s sake, surprised innocent by- standers with a surrealistic party at the chapter house. In a saner mood organized Independents danced with Clayton Har- bur in the Memorial Union ballroom. (What would we ever do without it?) . . . Came Saturday and the Gamma Phis decorated the ballroom with blue and pink and silver to look like Fairyland for their fall party. Theta Taus and Phi Chis gave the evening that professional touch. The engineers played at home, while the doctor cut capers and cadavers in the Union Kan- sas room. ... On the night of November 22 Betas, Phi Delts and Sigma Chis slipped each other the interfraternity grip at their annual Miami Triad in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building. Harlan Leonard and his orchestra took time out from the city to play sweet and low for the party. . . . The next night, Saturday no less, Anna Jane Hoffman reigned over the Owl Screech varsity in the Union ballroom, and Delta Chis played farmer at the chapter house with everything but a cow for atmosphere. . . . And that, children, is why your Grand- mother flunked out of school in the fall semester of 1940. (Pholo by Art Wolf) WOMEN o 124 THE JAYHAWKER DECEM LET ' S CALL HER i cie by KEN LEWIS IN THE first place I want to say that I know nothing about women whether they be from K. U. or elsewhere. I have spent the last three years around them but, as everyone knows, there is little to be learned about a woman by watching her. To reach any definite conclusion concerning the girls, one must do his meditating in some place where they won ' t appear to upset his reasoning. There are no such sanctums at K. U. However, one cannot be a male on the campus without acquiring a few ideas about his women acquaintances. Many men, I know, believe that girls are a disturbing influence in the classroom. All men agree that in the library the feminine effect is devastating to concentration. Is there anyone who hasn ' t at some time chosen a seat at an empty table, arranged his books in con- venient order, and then looked up to discover a horde of sorority pledges glaring at him in reproach for invading their table? To be stubborn and refuse to retreat is foolish. The overwhelming complacency of a sorority pledge class seated together is a disruptive in- fluence, second only to their whispers and giggles. Together, the two factors are as much an enemy of study as a German band. Apart from her choice of clothes and her study habits, however, the young lady of FRESHMAN FLASH SOPHOMOKE SLUMP Mount Oread exhibits some practical tenden- cies. For instance, she will never refuse to ride up the Hill to class in a jallopy two or three years old, unless a new convertible is available. She is extremely conscientious about keeping up with current events and can always tell you what has been Daisy Mae ' s latest attempt to ensnare Li ' l Abner. Her interest in athletics is deep and genuine and goes much farther than who is winning what. Moreover, it is the freshman girl who is responsible for the majority of notations on the K. U. man ' s gripe list. Let ' s take, for example, a typical first year cutie. We ' ll call her Gracie. AFTER two or three weeks on the Campus, - - Gracie has arrived at two conclusions: 1. That there are more boys than she ever saw before. 2. That classes are a necessary evil which one must tolerate in order to acquire a sorority pin or to keep that check from home on its way. After a few more weeks, she is convinced that the social life is nothing but a big game in which the object is to lead her boy friends on to making a commitment of one sort or another, and to do so in such a fashion that, in no way, will she become obligated to her own conscience. She doesn ' t expect any state- ment of his unqualified affection from the boy of the moment. Even he, in his gullible way, is too wary for this. What our little captivator wants is a certain look in the sap ' s eyes which indicates that he is willing and ready to for- sake his buddies and their glass of beer together at Kenny ' s in order to take her along where she can have a coke.

' . : ' ' r ' - : ' ' GEO fn the bo; toffee a. always unhapp Mayl weighs and wh niatehe: ' ' -. down fi see. tlit over at This school Maurin os with fund fo Oh. relief! 1 a bore. DECEMBER 1940 125 GEORGINE and Maurine come down from dinner. Both dive dejectedly for the box of chocolate-covered almonds with toffee and coconut filling. I guess we always eat more when we ' re dejected, says Maurine very unhappily. And we always eat a lot because we ' re always dejected, says Georgine even more unhappily. Maybe this sad fact explains why Maurine weighs 168J4 pounds in her stocking feet and why Georgine has a face which perfectly matches her favorite polka-dot pajamas. Yes, Maurine and Georgine always come down from dinner instead of going up. You see, they aren ' t just part of the cellar gang over at the Tri Zeta house, they are the cellar gang. No one realizes this more than poor Maurie and Georgie. This particular night is in the last week of school before Christmas. Georgine looks at Maurine with attempts at humor and says, Who ' s your date with tonight? And Maurine, with die-hard casualness, reaches for her K-book which is as blank as the Tri Zeta fund for a new house. Oh, she says very surprisedly, what a relief! I ' m not doing a thing. Dates are such a bore. Both gals sigh, very mournful, be- hL THEY WANTED TO BE by JANE ANTHONY cause they would like to date around and be flashes but they like chocolate-covered almonds too well. After a moment of silence, during which the girls reach several times for the candy box, Maurine takes off her size 40 sweater and murmurs wistfully, If we had a tube for it, we could listen to the radio. Or we could study, says Georgine, putting cover-mark over her complexion. I don ' t want to study, says Maurine suddenly, her voice tense. I don ' t want to be a Phi Beta Kappa. I want to be a play girl. The words stand electric in the room. With corpse-like quietness, Georgine whis- pers, You have made the great decision for both of us. Carefully she shuts the candy box and puts it on top the sizzling radiator. I must think, she says mysteriously, set- ting her alarm clock to go off in an hour. Georgine always sets her alarm clock when she starts to think. Thinking is better than a sociology lecture for putting her to sleep. Meanwhile Maurine eyes the steaming box of doomed chocolate-covered almonds with tenderness. Soon Georgine opens her eyes, bleary with self-torture and starts to say, We might as well resign ourselves to our f a . . . , when the sound of the back door bell causes both to say Oh in high squeaky voices. Burglars, screams Maurine, jumping on the bed. I ' ll see what it is, says Georgine very bravely. So both girls climb the stairs and open the kitchen door, hanging onto each other to show coed-like self-reliance. Two handsome young men stand there staring with their mouths open for handsome young men always stare with their mouths open at Georgine and Maurine. Maurine ' s eyes fill with young love at this manly beauty and (Continued on Page 157) THE SECRET WOMEN G.n KEEP by LILLIAN FISHER OOLITICS are rotten! Politics are essential! Two seemingly contradicting statements, yet how true they both are. And when women enter politics, the fighting really gets tough. But the hair-pulling and name-calling as it stands now between combines in the Women ' s Self-Governing Association is worse than any political fight. Practically the same conditions exist as did in 1912. At that time Miss Beulah Murphy, then presi- dent of the Women Students ' Governing Association, made this statement: Any group of candidates which may come out which resembles in any way a faction or a following of party lines, will be con- sidered illegal. Each person must run by herself and no tickets will be allowed. Thus it is today. No parties. No printed campaign literature. Just secret maneuverings between a small group of women who see to it that their candidates get into office. Here is the true story of an election at the Uni- versity of Kansas. About a month before election time, wise poli- ticians in the different sororities and organized houses, get out their pencils and paper and start figuring. Here is an example of one of their prob- lems: If A has 45 members, B has 60 members, and C has 38 members that the Blues can count on, and there are 500 voters in all the houses, how many more houses must the Blues add to their list in order to beat the Beds? Then the schemers of one combine begin a process of elimination like this such and such a house had the presidency last year they will not be seeking a big office this year, so they ought to support us, if we support them next time. That takes care of one house. The XYZ house has a strong vote- getter for college representative, and the MNO house will probably put up Mary Music for fine arts representative. Those two houses would go fine to- gether in a combine. Thus house numbers two and three are in the union. Last fall we supported houses BST and NOP in the freshman election; they will surely back us now. This brings the list up to five. We ' ll include an inde- pendent vote to go on the records that we are fair and square with everyone. Each dormitory has a non-voting representative in Council so they will (Photos by Art Wolf) Above: Evelyn Scliroeder Below: Evelyn Hodgson probably take a minor class office without much cry- ing. We know Slita Hand, president of the Forma Dorm. She can get us that vote. They have a lot of women who know students liv- ing in rooming houses and can probably pick up a few strong votes. After the houses agree to go to- gether by means of this sort of executive agree- ment, the various house members are told of the plan and given the names of the candidates to memorize. Since no electioneering can take place near the pools on election day, a lot depends on the memory of the voters. If one combine has much the larger majority, the election is practically won. But if there is only a slight majority, then both factions get on the tele- phone, have coke dates, and even go so far as a show to win over a few important Independent votes. Politics! Sure it ' s politics! Worse than that it ' s secret politics! Since the beginning of WSGA, the women have been dissatisfied with the secretiveness of it, and have wanted to form political parties and be out in the open. In 1912 a movement was started to line up the tickets as Suffrage and Anti-Suffrage. This was immediately squelched. In 1919, 558 women voted. This unusual interest probably was stirred up by the fact that although they did not have parties, there were two sides to the question presented by the Student Interest Ticket and the Beconstruction Ticket. The Bepresentative Party and the Black Domino Party came into power in 1924. The next year tickets and tags advertising both parties could be seen everywhere. Miss Agnes Husband, dean of the women, said, It is not the (Continued on Page 158) O l DECEMBER 1940 127 MUSCLES AND by CECIL KING As Women Go Active Under The Lights in Robinson Gpn TT ' S a wintry wind that blows up an attempt to - complete the women ' s fall sports schedule. Although champions in volleyball, horseshoes, and archery have been proclaimed, there are no final winners in tennis singles, mixed doubles, handball, and golf, as yet. I.W.W. captured the intramural volleyball title from Kappa Kappa Gamma by a score of 30-29 gained in a three-minute overtime play-off. At the half Kappa was leading 19-14, but a tie of 27 all at the end of the game necessitated overtime play. Volleyball division winners were: I.W.W., of the independent teams; Kappa, Pi Phi, and Corbin hall, of the organized house teams. Kappa succeeded in defeating Corbin 36-25, and Pi Phi 32-23 to win the organized house trophy. The total number of points scored by each team is: Organized house teams Kappa, 87; Pi Phi, 75; Corbin, 66; Theta, 65 ; Alpha Chi, 63 ; Gamma Phi, 62; Chi Omega, 60; Watkins, 53; Sigma Kappa 42; Miller, 36; and Alpha Delta Pi, 32. Independent teams I.W.W., 94; E.T.C., 58; T.N.T., 48; and I.N.D., 42. OUTSTANDING players from the 15 competing - ' volleyball teams have been selected for the class teams. The teams are: Freshmen Davis, Theta (manager); Goff, Watkins; Gsell, Miller; Hines, Kappa; Lemoine, Pi Phi; Taylor, A. D. Pi; Lawrence, T.N.T.; Grable, Watkins; Roudebush, A. D.

In the horseshoes tournament, Watkins hall won over Kappa in the finals to secure the championship. Archery high scorers were: Current, Chi Omega 871; Peairs, Pi Phi 723; and Perry, Kappa 610. Evelyn Herriman, I.W.W., and Lenora Grizzell, Corbin, will play off the final handball match. In tennis, Peggy Davis, Theta, will meet Mary Beth Dodge, Kappa, in the singles final. Pi Phi ' s mixed doubles team of Giles-Jenkins play Kappa ' s team of M. B. Dodge-Lynch in the final match. There have been no play-offs in the championship and first flights of the golf tournament. To create an active interest in field hockey has been one of the chief aims of the Women ' s Athletic Association this fall. Due to the efforts of Evelyn Kinney, hockey sports manager, and Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of physical education, the W.A.A. was able to have advantage of the coach- ing of the United States Hockey Touring Team on October 22. The K. U. hockey team competed in a game with and received instructions from the national team. Hockey teams from Emporia, Ottawa, Baker, Washburn, and several Kansas City high schools attended the demonstration. Scenes like this make or break champions IRONS 11V Til by HEIDI VIETS March 21, 1940 Went to movie tonight. Had to pay my own way, but was determined to see College Cuties, all about life at a big university. Learned that a freshman is so busy flirting with the football stars and practicing tap dances for the Alma Mater musical show, that she hardly has time to pin up her hair and lacquer her fingertips. Sounds wonderful. March 22 Reminded Mother that I will need plenty of oomph sweaters when I go to K. U. this fall. , September 6 Packed oomph sweaters and other paraphernalia as recommended by Vogue and Mademoiselle. Tomorrow I leave for Lawrence to launch four years of leisure. September 14 Been here six days now, and all I have to say is, Golly! College movies don ' t tell the half of it. These gals know their glamour secrets, all right, but they are also hell-bent for athletics, tough academic work, and all breeds of extra- curricular activity. At the Y. W.C.A. tea today I sat by a sleek brunette who carried plenty of brain ammunition and had her tulip red fingernail on the trigger. She politely started out conversation with a meaty com- ment on national politics. Do you agree? she asked. Didn ' t know, but nodded, blushed, and came home. Wonder if I can take it here. September 15 Dreamed last night of a cute redhead who wore calico housedresses instead of oomph sweaters and who came to Kansas in a prairie schooner without aid of road map or fitted traveling case. Although she scrubbed, mended, baked, and did all the duties of an enterprising prairie career gal, she managed to stay pretty as a Homecoming queen. I ' m as good as Granny, I ' m going to stick here and stake my claim to the dizziest schedule I can figure out. Possibly do a little pioneering on campus. Maybe this mixing real business and mon- key business will be fun. September 24 After last class, ripped over to the ballroom for skits on how to eliminate spare time. I went, I saw, and now I ' m going to conquer member- ship to some of those organizations or else. Roommate says I would need a ventriloquist from the Metropolitan for Glee Club, but I ' m still enthu- siastic about my chances for Quack Club and Tau Sigma. September 25 First W.S.G.A. tea of the year in the women ' s lounge of Frank Strong hall. More dozens of Jills-of-all-trades who would rank A even if you didn ' t grade on the curve. Granny, come help your chile! First midweek of the year tonight. Crowded, con- fusing, and wonderful. Of all eleven (I counted) boys who cut in on me, only one mentioned school work. They tell me these thing s happen every week. I feel like a debutante. September 26 Another demonstration of what girls do when their books are on the shelf and their date dresses are in the closet. At the Sports Pow- wow in the gym upperclass sportsters showed the DECEMBER 1940 129 THE FIRE True-Life Story of One Woman ' s Extra-furrirular Activities newcomers how it ' s done, and bell-ringers in last year ' s contests received their awards. September 30 Got into first major bull session. Started talking with two girls from the journalism department about a freshman ' s chances of working on the Jayhawker and Sour Owl. Odds are with me. Then we got on to the subject of W.S.G.A. I like the idea of hostessing at important teas and having my picture in the Jayhawker. Maybe I should go in for politics. My uncle once ran for county commis- sioner on the farmer-labor ticket, so vote-begging may be in the blood. October 5 Tried out for Quack Club this morning, and one of the old members says I am sure to make the grade. Hope so. Need something besides mid- weeks and volleyball games to keep me away from studies on Wednesday nights, when the Quacks meet. October 7 To be in Tau Sigma is an honor and a triumph. I tried out tonight, and find my muscles in corkscrews and my joints in pain. But next week I ' m going back again for tryout number two. October 14 Attended meeting of the social action commission of Y.W.C.A. Hope I can keep up work on this and freshman commission, too. Might as well kill two birds with one stone even if I wound myself at the same time. November 6 At W.S.G.A. tea to- day we freshmen met our potential vice-president and secretary. Now I ' m getting behind the campaigns of two of the lassies to push hard until Friday, when we ballot. Now is the time for all good girls to poke a finger in the political pie, especially if they hope to pull out a plum in the next three years. November 11 Since there was no school today, took time out to ponder some activities not yet on my list. This past month I ' ve gotten my schedule so well worked out that I need another regular meeting to throw it out of gear. Contemplated History Club, Psychology Club, Sociology Club, French Club. Posed in front of the mirror to consider Fencing Club. Wrote an ode to my roommate to test myself for Rhadamanthi poetry group. But I think I ' ll discard all these to join the Rifle Club. Granny was a sharpshooter, so why not I? It might come in handy in case of mice. November 29 Maybe it was the Thanksgiving dinner that caused it, but last night I had a peculiar dream. In it I was the melodramatic victim of a rah-rah romance triangle, with complications, com- edy, but no committee meetings to give the realistic touch. Reminded me of that row-de-dow college movie. It ' s good to be home, but I ' m anxious to get back on campus. When a gal has six or eight irons in the fire, she wants to stick around. Besides, my date to the Sophomore Hop might possibly give me a Christmas present. 130 THE JAYHAWKER DECEM: W omen ounci i OFFICERS Jeanne Moyer . . President Sue Johnston . . .

They Wanted To Be (Continued from Page 125) Georgine longs in her soul to have begun a few weeks earlier on those yeast treatments. Won ' t you come in? says Georgine, every pimple shining. Yes, do, says Maurine, 168J4 pounds of girlish charm. Oh, no, reply the young men as if they really mean it. Oh, no. But , says Maurine, her heart splitting diagonally. But, insists Georgine, you must have wanted something. That ' s right, says one, we ' re selling subscriptions. Sort of work- ing our way through college, in a way. How, says Georgine who had once patted an alligator with her bare hand, would you like to take us out tonight? Why Georgine! objects Maurine in her best Y.W.C.A. manner. The tallest young man is edging away. My grandmother is dy- ing, he mutters hurriedly. But when the other young man steps on his foot, it seems to quiet him. We ' d love to, breathes the shorter in a radio announcer voice, and a San Francisco bridge smile, but truth is, we ' re flat broke. Aw you, giggles Georgine, we ' d just love to have it on us. Maurine just nods because she is so happy that she ' s even forgotten to want a chocolate covered almond. The two young men are finally persuaded and agree to wait while Maurine and Georgine add a dash of powder and use the eye lash curler which Georgine has long saved for her first date which wasn ' t a blind one. When the masculine eyes turn to the ice box hintfully, the gals explain that it is always locked after dinner. But they remember that a man ' s heart is softer on a full stomach and lug the box of chocolate-covered almonds up the stairs a true sign of their devotion. If the upstairs girls could only see us now, Maurine chuckles (Continued on Page i6i) DECEME Daniel A Albert B Pat Bare Harvey 1 James Bi William Fred Bos Ivan Cai Brent Ca Charles ( Lynn Ch George C Norman Thomas Fredericl Francis I Edward .

Homecoming for 1940 has come and gone. Sororities have their pledges well started in the social machine at Hillville, and everyone came back from Thanksgiving in better moods which reminds me now is a good time to start making apologies for the stepped-on-toes in this issue. These aren ' t items I dream up, my dears; people actually turn them in! ... No doubt a surprise to all but the Watkins Hall femmes was the engagement of Mary Austin to Jeff Davis, giant footballer from M. U. The engagement is the culmination of a home-town romance in Coffeyville. ... Surprisingly popular with Hill men have become the good-looking Nelson twins of Corbin Hall. For an introduction to the lookalikes, see John Lynch and Kenny Hamilton. ... Highlights of the Kansas State game at Man- hattan: Two Betas sitting in the 50-cent bleachers along with numerous Manhattan high schoolers. . . That ultra-striking couple, Littooy and Johnson, attracting Aggieville attention in a Manhattan restaurant. . . The usual wild orgy in the Wareham hotel the night after the game. . . Especially notice- able upstairs in the Wareham were Jim Boyd and Floyd Smith; in the more conservative coffee-shop downstairs were Dean Ritchie, Jane Veatch, and ex-Hillite Kenny Messner. . . Seen in a downtown restaurant after the game was Pi Phi grad Marianna Bantleon, veteran of many a football jaunt to Lincoln and Manhattan. New high in the effort to find something to do on a date was the ice-skating party given by the Phi Psi sophomores at the Pla-Mor in the City. There ' s been plenty of talk about the fall extra- curricular gathering of the Phi Psi-Theta pledges. It seems that it went off with an extra bang. Many more parties like that and the situation may look encouraging for a battle from the Sigma Chis. TCLL YOU Fitter Fathers for Future Firesides! that ' s the Battenfeld motto and with it comes a revelation as to the possible value of some of these college men. An outstanding example of Hill superficiality is the giddy line put out by Patti Duncan, petite Pi Phi freshman. Her high-schoolish rendition of con- temporary college expressions is enough to. . You said it! A summer-romance partner from M. U. came and went a recent week-end leaving doll-like Dottie Wise, Gamma Phi, glad that she ' d long ago decided K. U. ' s hills were greener. Jo Ann Perry, blonde siren of the Kappa pledge class, has been having a little trouble with Tom Walton, Beta. No one but Yehudi knows that Bill Perdue, Delt, has anything to do with it. Snowbound? Well anyway, Henry Snyder and Bob Homer went duck hunting in South Dakota for the weekend of Homecoming. But the weekend lasted until the following Wednesday night. Looks as if the Delta Chis had better keep an eye on these two little boys. ... Bob Hampel, drum-major, must have decided that being the sweetheart of the A D Pis last year was too big a job. At any rate he no longer dates the three sorority sisters that he used to be seen with. ... It ' s a sad affair, this business of love! One Sigma Chi has it so bad that every noon he rides by the Chi Omega house and calls Where ' s chocolate drops? Charlene Baker is the lucky recipient. Another one of those shaky affairs is the Phi Delt Misto McClure-Pi Phi Virginia Bantleon romance. Anyway it ' s said he called her at 3 a.m. recently to give her his regards(P). ...

And proper dressing this year won ' t be too difficult because there is little change from last year ' s styles. The tuxes are still the same, double-breasted, midnight blue, and with grosgrain lapels. How- ever, the new English full drape front is an improvement. It is designed to give even little boys that full chested, athletic look. In shirts, the emphasis is on the pleated ones with attached lay- down collar. Again this year many of the boys will be finding that a tails ensemble makes a flashy adjunct to the tux set. OBER ' S has a couple of tux-tails combina- tions at moderate prices. If you haven ' t already done so, it ' s time to speak to Santa Glaus and Dad about a topcoat. Tell them that the pace setters are wearing tweeds, English coverts, and hair coats. A really top-notch coat at reasonable price is OBER ' S Angopaca hair coat. It comes in light tan, khaki, oxford grey, or midnight blue (just right for for- mal wear). You can get it either unlined or with a detachable zipper lining that will keep you warm enough for even the coldest days on blustery Mount Oread. The coverts come in three or four shades with fly fronts and matching stitched sleeves and bottoms. Cavalry cords are good too, especially if you like that military look.

Gad-about Hal Ruppenthal, Sig Ep, has found a neat little package, Dottie Mallott, Corbin gal. It appears to be qui te a successful affair. There is practically a perpetual distribution of chocolates in Miller Hall with all the engagement announcing that has been going on. If this keeps up there will be so much added avoirdupois that the rest of the gals will be stuck for life. It ' s a strange thing the way there never seems to be a bulb on the back porch of the Phi Gam house. Of course a few cars have been known to be parked in that vicinity but no one can think of any possible connection this could have with the vacancy. The night before the Kansas-Missouri game, various Kansans were seen at Springdale (M.U. ' s Dine-a- Mite), yelling vociferously for the red and blue. Among them were Bill McKinley, Larry Smith, and Alum Bill Bailey. By the way, even there Bailey showed his preference for Pi Phis, dating the arrow lodge ' s president. Anonymous gift-horses who slipped a box of live baby chicks into the Kappa house as presen ts to Jeanne Popham, Virginia Scott, Betsy Dodge, Mary Beth Dodge and Betty Jeanne Hess turned out to be none other than Betas Blugo Stevenson and Bill Mundy.

Then the visitors came back with a running attack featuring Orv Mathews, Huel Hamm, Johnny Martin and Marvin Whited. Martin scored the second Oklahoma touchdown with just three and one-half minutes left to play in the ball game. Hub Ulrich, at left end, Don Pierce at center, and Don Pollom at right halfback were the out- standing players for the fine play- ing, hard charging Kansas team of that day. GEORGE WASHINGTON 6, KANSAS It was just a game of football that day. Nothing at stake and neither an outstanding team. Just another hard-fought intersectional game, in which both teams went up and down the field for three quarters without crossing the goal line. In the last quarter the Colonials nipped the Jayhawkers 6 to 0, as Walt Fedora, fullback, roared around the Kansas end for 10 yards and the lone touchdown of the game. Ward Crowell, end; Ed Hall, fullback; and Jake Fry, halfback, were the shining lights of the Kansas team. MISSOURI 45, KANSAS 20 In their forty-ninth annual grid battle, it was Missouri nearly all the way. While over 17,000 people looked on, the Tiger team began to roll just nine minutes after the game had begun. The Tigers took the ball on their own 20-yard stripe and advanced it to the Ka nsas 1-yard line, where Christman car- ried it over. Cunningham kicked the extra point. Kansas went right back to the Missouri 12-yard line but passes into the end zone stopped that drive. In the second quarter, a lateral from Chase to Harry Ice was good for another Tiger score.

Here was a play to satisfy the sentimentalist, the comedy lover, and those of strict dramaturgy. Cradle Song has been known since Eva Le Gallienne and her Civic Repertory group first produced it in 1927. It is a beautiful play with fine characterization and well-bal- anced dialogue. Its performance here threw more bouquets at the feet of James Barton, its director, and pinned more gold stars on Don Dixon ' s chest for the scenery and lighting he created. Strictly speaking there were no leads in this play. Shirley Jane Ruble in the role of prioress of the convent was outstanding as was Jean Brown as the vicaress and Use Nesbitt as mistress of the novices. Teresa, the young lady, raised by the sisters, was played by Reola Durand. One faculty member was bor- rowed by the Dramatic Club for the play, and Robert Calderwood gave an unusually fine performance as the kindly doctor and friend to the nuns. Otherwise, only students were cast in the show. Spence Bayles and Joe Wilson were the other men in Cradle Song. The remaining cast members were the rest of the nuns of the convent. Each was an individual character, a job which Sierra did so well. Each of the nuns con- tributed her bit of comedy or sentiment to this fine performance. The remaining members were Bernice Malm, Jane Beal, Jean McFarland, Greta Gibson, Mary Robelene Scott, and Sylvia Steeper.

When you were real, real little that didn ' t make so much difference ' cause you didn ' t care much how you looked, just so you kept warm, ate regularly, and didn ' t get paddy wacked too often. But when you commenced to grow up And get bigger, And had to watch Your figger . . . come snow season you put up quite a battle to avert the annual launching of you into the long-legged things; even if they were warm. Even if your figger didn ' t count much anyway. You were beginning to stand on your rugged individualism. A college girl wouldn ' t be caught dead in long underwear. A college girl wouldn ' t be caught. Some college men wear it and face the storm. Other college men would like to wear it, but can ' t find a safe place to hide it. So it is with music. When you ' re real, real little you don ' t care whether you ' re exposed to long underwear music or not. It doesn ' t affect you one way or the other. And finally you ' re in college. You can take your long underwear or leave it. Hide it, or enjoy it openly. Most of us would rather not worry about it. But just in case you ' ve ever had a real kick out of long underwear music, that maybe you accidentally overheard or got shoved into or just in case you ' ve always harbored a secret desire to improve the intellect on the side by indulging in good music you should see what a dollar will buy now that it didn ' t used to! Mr. RCA Victor has recently reduced his price on ALL his long underwear music. Most of the real good stuff has been reduced to just half price. For instance you can get Jan Sibelius ' tone poem Finlandia on Red Seal Victor records for only one dollar. Last year the thing cost two dollars. Ravel ' s Bolero was $4.50 now it ' s only $2.50. Tschai- kowsky ' s Romeo and Juliet (Larry Clinton stole Our Love from it) is only $3.50 in an album. All the big symphonies and operas on Victor Records are half price, and the recordings are more perfect than ever! See Mr. Houston at Bell ' s about fitting you out with a bunch of long underwear music and begin your collection. You ' ll never regret it. Albums of Red Seal records make fine Christmas presents for the family, too.

These two parties withdrew in 1926 and put the conducting of an election up to the WSGA coun- cil. The following bill was passed: Article 1 WSGA shall hold a mass meeting of all women of the University at which time nomina- tions shall be made from the floor for the executive office of WSGA. These things shall be put into the hands of an eligibility committee from WSGA, who shall investigate their eligibility, and shall circulate petitions for every eligible candi- date. When 50 signers have been secured candidates may run. If less than three candidates are nominated, the WSGA executive council shall nominate enough women to fill the required number. In 1938 the present system was adopted. Candidates for election must interview a committee in- stead of circulating petitions as in past years. The nominating com- mittee is composed of five senior women two members of Mortar Board as selected by that group, the president of the WSGA coun- cil, one member is selected by the council from its group, one mem- ber to be selected from without that group, and one adviser serv- ing in ex-officio capacity. Members of both organized and unorganized houses are supposed to be repre- sented on the committee. In spite of all this, there are some good points to the WSGA election. The girls who usually get into an office are the most out- standing women on the campus. They must be popular, be inter- ested in K. U., and be hard, and faithful workers. At least a C average must be maintained by each member of the Council. The girls on the WSGA work long and hard. They meet every week and pass on many different bills and appropriations. They have several hundreds of dollars go through their hands every year. They sponsor teas, parties, and various other activities. They maintain the WSGA Book Ex- change for the benefit of all the students. They give donations to the co-operative house funds. They appropriate funds each year in order to make it possible to dis- tribute the K-book free of charge to freshmen. The two freshmen winning class officers this year are Evelyn Schroeder, a member of Alpha Chi Omega, and Evelyn Hodgson, Miller Hall. With the exception of Schroeder and Hodgson, all other members of the Council will serve until March 13, 1911, when the election for next year will take place.

The Tigers led at the half, 20 to 0. Just after the second half started, Christman threw a 35-yard pass to Crocker, who went to the Kansas 10-yard stripe. Another pass to Starmer tallied. Then Kansas came to life and a pass from Hall to D. Gibbens found K. U. on the 5-yard line. A line drive by Ed Hall scored the touchdown. Hall kicked the point. Almost immediately Missouri ' s Chase carried the ball over from the K. U. 10-yard line. And as the final quarter started, Missouri again took the ball deep into Kansas territory, only to have Christman dive across for another tally. With the ball changing hands three times in a row, Hall tossed a line pass to Gibbens, who skipped the other eight yards to a score.

KANSAS 26, COLORADO STATE It was the last game of the sea- son and most of the students had gone home for Thanksgiving. The game didn ' t mean anything but just an intersectional battle, be- tween two schools with poor rec- ords. So, the Kansans just decided lick the tar out of the visitors, 26 to 0. It was little Jake Fry that was the main clog in the Kansas of- fense. On the first play from scrim- mage, Fry circled right end for 18 yards. Then Ed Hall blasted through center to score number one. The same pair counted again after Herb Hartman blocked a State punt that was recovered on the Colorado 32-yard line. But Jakie ' s best exhibition was in the second half, on the first scrimmage play. He skirted the same right end, only to reverse his field and run 54 yards for the third K. U. score. This scoring was so much fun for a change that Fry ran an Aggie punt back to the opponent ' s 33-yard line. Hall took over here and charged right through the State line for the last touchdown and Jim Holloway kicked the extra point to make it 26 to 0, in favor of Kansas. Maybe the Jayhawkers can do it next year. They have a fine group of freshmen players that will make a worthy Kansas team if they just remain eligible and in school. On top of that, many of the stars of this year ' s team will be back and Ralph Miller and Steve Renko will resume play so that Kansas can have some kind of offensive power. It won ' t be all Kansas next year, but K. U. will be a trouble-maker. 160 THE JAYHAWKER 1025 MASS.

The sophomore slump has passed (it really was just a decel- eration). She has had many trying moments debating whether or not to go steady. She decided to go steady. Everybody goes steady; and besides, it ' s so wonderfully convenient. Now where do we find the poor man? Is he back at Kenny ' s with the boys? Nope! At least not in the ordinary sense of the word. He ' s not with the boys. He ' s with Gracie. The point of this little epic is to show that Gracie, disfranchiser par excellence, wages a total blitzkrieg. When she moves into her man ' s life, she moves in com- pletely. She can ' t understand why, if he doesn ' t have a quiz the next day, he can ' t come over for a little while anyway.

Patriarchs or non-matriarchs, they made a very impressive ap- pearance, a long row of the dear old souls seated in dignified order back of the Chancellor and beam- ing benevolently down on us as we greeted them with enthusiasm. They were our friends, and we loved them. We liked to look at them. I imagine looking at a time capsule will be something like that. It will be serene, other- worldly, remote, yet, on the whole, kindly tolerant of the crudities of youth, in the year, say, 2839. Eheu, fugaces! and all that sort of thing. There, but for the grace of God and the discontinuance of the custom, I should be sitting now. But I should not be able to achieve the serenity, the wisdom, the sweetness and light of those who sat there before me. I should be other-worldly, in the sense that my world today is not their world. They had peace and serenity. They grew mellow under a benign autumnal sun, lulled to security by the murmur of innumerable bees in immemorial elms. Philoso- phers all, they reached the stars easily ; while we if we ever reach the stars, it will be through dif- ficulties undreamed of in their gentle philosophies, or even in our more bitter brand. Nor is our brand, however bitter, new. A satiric newspaper man and cartoonist of Athens paused a moment in his drama, The Frogs, to ask this question: Homer himself, our adorable Homer, What was his title to praise and renown? What, but the worth of the lessons he taught us, Discipline, arms, and equipment of war? Three thousand years later, we are still learning that lesson. Science draws our diagrams and sets us our problems. No need to tell us to be earnest of purpose. We know, better than our college song-writers, that we must fight, fight, fight for dear old Kansas, or our country, or Liberty, or Peace. Whatsoever may be the words we use, in spirit we fervently join in the Greek prayer to Apollo, Hail, thou far-darter, and grant us the victory. Conclusion: courtesy of Aristo- phanes. G ' bye now.

They call the Jiffy cab company and both blush genuinely when the young men take their arms for helping purposes. Shall we make the rounds, Maurine ventures bravely as she takes up two-thirds of the cab ' s back seat. Can ' t we just go to some quiet place where we can be alone, says her escort, trying to find room on a square inch of up- holstery. So they go to a darkened hang- out which Maurine and Georgine tell the young men is a quiet place but is really where all the Tri Zetas and their dates go. For as Georgine whispers to Maurine, No one will blame us for want- ing to show off these dream men solidified.

Maurine and Georgine locate a very conspicuous table and when the waiter comes to take their order, Maurine murmurs, Just a coke. And Georgine murmurs, Just a coke. The two young men look very hangdoggish but go ahead and order two top sirloins, medium rare. It ' s because we ' re dying from hunger, one explains graciously. And since this is a pay-when- you ' re-served establishment, the girls unearth the equivalent of a week ' s supply of chocolate-covered almonds. Blissful moments pass and Georgine is sitting with the San Francisco bridge smile which is hard at work on its last bite of steak. Maurine is pushing the perspiring other one around the dance floor giggling tenderly, This is the first time I ' ve en- joyed dancing in Years. All this rapture is cracked when two well- known faces belonging to the local police zoom into the room. One is addressing dream man one opposite Georgine and the other is speaking to what ' s left of the young man wrapped around Maurine and both are saying, Come with me, bud, because it ain ' t legal to collect full subscrip- tion price for a magazine in this town without a license. But we haven ' t, exclaim the young men very excitedly, as Maurine falls against the nickel- odeon which shows its strength by only cracking in two places.

When she takes off her knee-high sox and reveals the aesthetic appeal of the exposed feminine leg, then THAT time has come. Again will nature ' s little nobleman, the KU male, gambol in the great outdoors. Steak fries and baseball games, moonlight rides and outdoor dances all these are in the offing. Not to be outdone by the chang- ing natural scene, the aspiring male will look with care to his wardrobe. He wants new styles, new colors with which to court his latest femme-fatale. And he ' ll discover all that he wants at his favorite clothier ' s. Especially will he find the color scheme new and varied. Woolens and flannels burst out into a variety of new shades that will bring even the most re- tiring youngster out of his chrysalis stage. OBER ' S has the new Sandune, a shade between khaki and light tan, and Air Blue, an innovation blue, in spring suits. Both of these give every indication of being sure fire in spring selections. In weave, the worsted flannels, the two-tone saddle weave worsteds, and the enlivened tweeds are on the best dressed list. In cut the coats are longer, full drape, with patch pocket or welt seam. Cashmere sweaters in pull-overs, with or without sleeves, are the very finest this year. Colors in these, too, are v aried. Canary, oatmeal, blue, green, and tan are in the greatest demand.

First on any list is Norma Tibbet ' s white wool military dress. She ' s as stunning and spick and span looking as an officer of the United States Navy. In direct con- trast, Suzanne Lowderman has a navy dress decorated with gold eagles and braid. As a climax to covetousness see Margaret Brown in a military dinner dress. The skirt is of heavy navy crepe and the blouse white and of the same material. As part of the outfit she has a flowing navy military cape which is lined with brilliant red taffeta. How can a man refuse the call to arms when even girls dress up in gilt and gold? Harzfeld ' s have already started showing new spring suits. The wools are soft and lightweight and the colors are the pastel tints that one dreams about. Wilma Miner has one that is a creamy shade with a long torso jacket and Mary Millsom was seen in one of Robin ' s- egg blue with a jacket straight in the back and belted in the front. Suits when they ' re like these are no longer a man ' s institution.

Anyway, all the hard work- ing students find BRICK ' S a good place for the pause that refreshes.

FEBRUARY 1941 171 HERE is the issue for every student. If he wants to laugh, there are chuckles here and there many of them. If he wants to delve into lightly- treated deep-seriousness, he will find incentive in a few good sound articles. If he possesses an atom of curiosity in his make-up, he can uncover, in these pages, facts he ' s never heard before. If he likes to philosophize about birth, life, death, and Hell, he ' ll find some pretty sound philosophy, too. If he doesn ' t find something he likes, ten to one he ' s not a typical student or any kind of a student. Fourteen carat gold star of the month goes to re- nowned columnist, Raymond Clapper, who speaks frankly in an optimistic way of opportunities wait- ing on a silver platter for the trained senior. Un- fortunately paradoxic and pessimis- tic, Mr. Clapper goes on to say that opportunities are only for manufac- ture in a war preparation. Sincere, straightforward, brilliant Mr. Clap- per weaves a tale worth investigating. See his A CLOSED DOOR OPENS. Then, for sheer poetry of expres- sion, depth of insight, and mastery of mood don ' t miss Gray Dorsey ' s MAN WITH A SPADE, one of the year ' s most beautifully-written articles. In MOUNT OREAD ABBEY, Jim Surface has unearthed a new group of facts about an old group of figures in a way deserving more than a casual glance. Eldon Corkill receives a solid ster- ling silver star for his CANNON TO THE RIGHT, CANNON TO THE LEFT, the most sincere and com- plete feature we ' ve seen on the Hill ' s part and interest in national defense. For brusque burlesque, artful allit- eration, and effective expose, read Michael Stewart ' s FIE, ON DAT- ING. He has tackled a hard job in a hard way and made it seem easy. Using artful expression in wash drawings, Don Fitzgerald has hit a new high in his illustration for SO MANY DAYS OF HELL, Ken Lewis ' latest triumph in style. Three other artists have taken sketch board in hand and achieved no petty results : Margie Hagstrom who illustrated MAN WITH A SPADE; Betsy Dodge who made a good-night kiss look like a world event in FIE, ON DATING; and Ben Mantz who brought a great crisis right to the Hill in his sketches forCANNON TO THE RIGHT, CANNON TO THE LEFT. Grand prize for photography goes to Art Wolf. The technique of his work in the frontispiece, THE STRANGE PAR- ALLEL, and the handling of medic students for TRAINING FOR PRACTICE, is downright professional and more than a little breathtaking. But orchids, gardenias, and two tickets to next week ' s production go to co-stars Maurice Jackson and Ed Garich. Maurice covered many districts from hospital to Marvin hall and seemed to leave out nothing in the clarity of his work. Ed went out on a tough assignment to get a photo-story of a pro- fessor ' s day. He not only did the job but did it in a manner to r ival some of the leading picture maga- zines of the country. These are the prize winners chosen by editorial judges, but no judge is infallible. Don ' t miss anything.

TTAPPY birthday to K. U.l Yes, glorious anniversary to one American school of learning, typical of many American schools of learning. Happy birthday party to schools whose festive celebrations are darkened by the shadow of a threatening United States war basis. Joyful years to schools whose student (diligently trained as doctor, lawyer, teacher, engineer, artist, or business man) finds him- self confronted by conscription. And who, be- cause of conscription, must encounter loss of chance for immediate position and lessened opportunity for securing a foothold in an un- certain world. Many more happy birthdays to univer- sities and colleges which now attempt to with- stand added problems, burdens, and loss of yesterday ' s complete freedom of thought and expression. Enjoy the festivities to univer- sities, their students and their professors, who - by popular songs of nationalism, by motion picture propaganda, by radio discussions, by newspaper and magazine opinions, by sale pressure applied through the manufacturers of American motif style products are warned : Warned that seeing anything good in, or say- ing anything good about, any anti-British or an ti- American movement belongs to the past. Advised that freedom of thought isn ' t as free as it was 10 years ago. Cautioned that war situations and the consequent antagonisms and prejudices which arise make it dangerous for education to preach any gospels not in accordance with popular opinion. Best wishes to the whole trend of learn- ing, which for the last 20 years taught students the futility of war. Long life to the educa- tion which preached eternal peace among men, international union, the world state, and non- interference in foreign politics as an important measure in avoiding war. All good regards to that education which now must back down upon its statements, which must attempt to justify the action and the feelings of the nation, which must discard the idea of pre- sent international peace and admit that possi- ble future world union will be achieved only through several great wars, and which, in general, must pull all of its carefully-practiced punches. Yes, loads of happiness to education whose sufferings in war, especially modern war, are as great as the antithetic profits of munitions makers. A toast to suffering edu- cation exemplified by the eviction of men like Einstein from Germany, by the jubilant bon- fire burnings of priceless volumes in Austria, by the bombing of Fleet street and the British Museum in England. Merry anniversary to shaken education in this country, education which must grudgingly teach the bloody doctrines of w r ar in lieu of the gentle dogmas of peace which must be prepared to sacrifice students, professors, and principle to the cause of national defense - which must swallow- as if blindly, sheafs of propaganda it has learned to detect which must surrender, at least temporarily, to the race prejudice and intense nationalism it has professed to detest. 1941 -- Seventy-five candles on this Uni- versity ' s birthday cake. Take a deep breath, then blow wildly to secure one fervent wish: Oh, almighty hearer of wishes, grant that come what may, conquer whoever may, education may live, grow, and burn brightly, free, and uncensored forever!

Once more employers are in the market for young men and women with university training, particularly in the sciences. Opportunities were never so numerous as now. In machine work, electrical engineering, chemistry, in architecture in all work that requires scientific training careers are open to young people of unusual natural ability and also to those of only average ability when supple- mented by university training. No longer do uni- versity graduates go out into a world which has no use for their training. Opportunity waits. But, unfortunately, one must ask, opportunity for what: ' Opportunity to assist in production of instru- ments of slaughter. Opportunity to assist in the pro- duction of weapons that serve only the bare necessity of defending ourselves against the blood lust that is loose in the world. When I was on Mount Oread 25 years ago, I was among those fortunate students who enrolled in the political science classes of Prof. C. A. Dykstra. From him we learned something about democracy and the progress of the art of popular government which seemed then to be in the full swing of a forward march that would in time carry it to every land. Now, Mr. Dykstra is in Washington, in charge of our first peace-time conscription. That tells the story of the modern world. The class of 1941 will step out into a bitterly tragic and frustrated society. For ten years university graduates have completed their training only to be confronted by closed doors. They had prepared them- selves and wanted to work but no work was to be had. Millions were underfed, ill-clothed, poorly housed, lacking the comforts of life, lacking the opportunity to work. Yet the country abounded in materials and in hands with which to transform the materials into usable goods. That was the paradox of the 1930 ' s the result of the bungling failure of our society. The paradox of the 1940 ' s is that we are finding work for idle men and machines but only to the end of achieving supremacy in the art of slaughtering men, women and children. All of our learning, all of our science, all of our genius for industry, is directed now at finding the most efficient ways of destroying civilization. A whole world is devoting itself to find- ing the quickest and surest way of committing suicide. Yet this paradox of the 1940 ' s, if a cause for sad- ness, is not a cause for despair. Rather it challenges a new generation. It challenges the thinking, the courage, the leadership that is being developed in the colleges and universities of this land and of every other land. For it is those who are now coming out with new knowledge, with new vitality and energy, with the courage that has not been whittled away in the com- promises and discouragements of age it is this new generation that will inherit the wreckage left by the old. The call during the next decades will be for social engineering, economic management and political leadership that shall bring an end to these wrenching paradoxes which make such miserable mockery of the human race. Therein, I believe, lies the historic opportunity for the young men and women who are now coming of age.

(Photo by Maurice Jackson) The Pioneer sees the University shaping firmly into a place for the student who is intelligent and is engrossed in the business of getting an education. I stood one night by The Pioneer In that bit of ground he was able to clear. He ' s been working there for many a day, Just digging away in the Kansas clay. AS I stood by this iron man of agriculture - - in the half-light of a winter moon, veiled intermittently by scudding white clouds, I decided he knows what this world is really about. He ' s been standing in the square east of Fraser for years and he ' s seen every change in the University for two generations. The sturdy young man was standing there digging when the boys left the Hill for Flanders in 1917. He watched the University during the flush days of the roaring ' 20 ' s. When the stock market crash hit the oil industry, when stock feeders found a closed market for their beef, when Kansas wheat was covered by fine, grey dust, the Man with a Spade tightened his belt and dug in a little deeper, just as the University cut corners, tightened down, went right ahead. The student who has just walked past The Pioneer to get to school, or because that walk is the shortest way home to dinner, probably thinks that fellow standing there is just a cold, MAN WITH Mrs Felt the 6y GRAY DORSET liard piece of metal, muscles eternally flexed as he starts to drive his spade into a sculptured bit of earth. That student is wrong. He ' s blind. Has he never noticed that The Pioneer ' s spade is standing at a slightly different angle some days, that the fingers on the statue ' s free hand are sometimes curled a little tighter than they were the day before? The unobserving student should walk through that square some night when he ' s worked till almost morn- ing trying to get the world straightened out, trying to decide whether the things he is doing are worth while, whether the whole sordid effort of living is worth the trouble. He should walk up to the square and stand be- hind a post on the porch of Fraser or sit down in the shadow of a pine tree, where he can see the rugged figure of the man who seems always to have his metal eyes on his work. In those few minutes just before the light of a new day begins to cascade into the eastern sky, as the shadow of a red moon goes down, The Pioneer pushes his spade firmly into the ground and straightens from his bending position. He lifts his thick arms and jabs them out to the side. He pushes back his hat, throws back his head and yawns and stretches. He arches his back to get out the kinks, stamps his feet around in the dirt, sits down on the edge of his freshly-spaded patch, looks around the Hill to see what is going on. He was sitting there watching, and saw the University lag behind the headlong rush of the times and the vital need of the students for an education that would enable them to keep alive and have a little bit of decency and self-respect around them during the heart- sickening days of the ' 30 ' s. Sitting, watching, he saw the University struggle to catch up when in 1936 Chancellor 1 FEBRUARY 1941 179 ' ' s Felt the f I A Hill ' s Pulse Beat Lindley appointed a commission to study the education system and recommend changes. He saw the present Chancellor come back in glory to his own alma mater, and the request go out to all departments and schools that the whole curriculum be examined and sifted to determine whether any courses are being offered that will not meet the need of stu- dents TODAY. The Pioneer from his vantage point saw dormitories for women come to the University, and then, recently, dor- mitories for men. He can see the typical Bat- tenfeld man not rich, good grades, works some, thinks in terms of cooperation grad- ually becoming the typical University of Kansas man, taking over the spirit that rep- resents the school. The Pioneer sees the University shaping firmly into a place for hard study, intense training, a guided edu- cation program, a place for the student who is intelligent and is en- grossed in the business of getting an education - no place for the man who is going to school for the fun that ' s in it. Resting, thinking, looking ahead, The Pioneer sees that the strongly individual- thinking student, self- dependent, resistant to regimentation, is being crowded out by the man who is willing to be guided in his thinking, who accepts the accepted concepts, and all in all tries to do the thing that ' s expected of him by a stagnant society whether he believes it right or wrong. This is the great danger of education, The Pioneer thinks to himself. Bind the man who wants to learn with strong cords of curriculum, place over his eyes the cataract of other men ' s opinions handed down as dictums to be learned by rote, envelope him with the glow- ing light of a Holy Grail in the form of a diploma and a Phi Beta Kappa key, and he will lie and cheat himself out of the kind of education that brings well-chosen knowledge and a sane understanding. But a system of free pursuit of knowledge (Continued on Page 245) This is the great danger of education. The Pioneer thinks to himself binding the man who wants to learn. 180 THE JAYHAWKER THE y Of llnsi ur, HIM, n, Photos am Photo-Story by Art Wolf.

That ' s right, there ' s been a birth at Watkins Memorial Hos- pital ! A fine, bouncing baby boy. A sort of cradle song brought home, the incident should shock Hill society. Since there is no maternity ward here, the little fellow first saw light in the building ' s sub-basement. The mother? Oh, some blonde and is she ever proud of that child. Yes sir, that white hussy of a Guinea pig, Gussie, is mighty delighted with her piglet. Little does she know that it will go the way of all of her children - the experimental cage of Watkins Memorial Hospital technicians. Just as a majority of students are unaware of this research carried on for their benefit, they are likewise ignorant of the entire Uni- versity hospital program. The average stu- dent ' s knowledge of the hospital is little more than befogged recollections of two hours of poking, feeling, weighing, and coughing during physical examina- tions required for entrance. The man on the Hill considers it as ' ' a semi- friendly penal institution. When a student ' s better judgment tells him that he is sick, he recalls tales about Watkins cir- culated by his friends and decides to stay at home. He resolves to accept Ralph I.

A paralyzed patient ' s efforts to free himself from a strait-jacket have been com- pared to the energies required to escape from the hospital. Sickness is unfortunate. However, it can be endured much more easily in the hospital than at home in a room. Meals are good. Beds are soft. Some of the nurses are even pretty. For a student to continue in school with those headaches, that raw throat, that tired feeling, is an economic waste. By doing so, he de- prives himself of good health, professional advice, and something for which he has already paid a three-day trip to the University hospital. A day with Eleanor Roosevelt is no more hectic than a day in the hospital. The bed- weary patient is awakened promptly at 7 o ' clock each morning. His temperature is taken. His hands are washed, and he is fed breakfast. Around 8 a.m. the doctors make their rounds with temperatures being taken again at 10. Lunch is served at 11:30, tempera- tures are taken at 4 p.m., and dinner is served at 5:15. For variety the thermometer-sucker is allowed visitors from 1 to 4 o ' clock in the afternoons and from 7 to 8 in the evenings. laboratoi enerosit Ther iiis and the I FEBRUARY 1941 183 As is the case in only a few student hospitals throughout the country, patients are per- mitted to have visitors of the opposite sex. Only 12 patients have been lost in the last 12 years! Needless to say, all causes of death can be attributed to injuries received before admittance. Automobile accidents lead the list of fatal cases. Carbuncles bring up the rear. Most of the students seeking treatment during the past year complained of colds. Second in line came infections followed in order by contagious diseases and eye and ear disturbances. Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, a graduate of the University of Minnesota, is director of the University Health Service. During his 13 years on the Hill, the good doctor has become well-known and well-liked by everyone. His most cordial invitation to come to the hospital is always open. Dr. Canuteson believes that his hospital should take the place of home medical care. With a staff of seven full time nurses, two laboratory and X-ray technicians, one part- time mental hygienist, one interne, and five full-time doctors, the University hospital is open and ready to give treatment to sick students at all times. Made possible by the generosity of the late Elizabeth M. Watkins and built in 1931, this student hospital is one of the best of its kind in the nation. The University health program is financed mainly by the $5 health fee paid each semes- ter by all students. Since the school proper supplies the hospital with heat, light, water, and outside building maintenance, no appro- priations are needed from the state legislature. Because every employee is on a definite salary basis, the number of students treated makes no difference in the compensations received. The health fee entitles each student to a com- plete physical examination, a tuberculin test, any necessary dispensary treatment, three There is a Place, a Haven, Where Noise is Deadened, Where Men and Women Tread Softlv, Where the Dreaded Whistle of Necessity Must Mean . . . votklna days of free hospitalization, any reputable disease vaccination, and all ordinary drug service. Being in the hospital, everything considered, isn ' t so bad after all. The head nurse says that for every student leaving against the advice of the physicians, three or four more come bag and baggage begging to be admitted. The normal capacity is 65 beds, but with slight readjustments 100 patients can easily be accommodated. If the complaining student hasn ' t had his three days worth of hospitalization this semes- ter, he might ask for it now. If he can ' t take advantage of the operating room, he musn ' t miss being X-rayed. He can soak up vitamin D under the ultraviolet heat lamps. If they won ' t let him sit in the ophthalmic chair, he can spend a night in the oxygen tent. For grown-up pediatrics and scientific control of contagion, Watkins is tops. For that tired feeling, Watkins is an oasis. Nurses in white have two extremes in patients to control: Those who enjoy their slay too much and those wlio long for outdoors and freedom. 184 THE JAYHAWKER SO MANY DAYS OF by KEN LEWIS IT ' S a shame what ' s been done to Hell Week. A man can ' t even talk about it any more. There was a time when an old fraternity man could spout for hours on the harrowing experiences to which his brothers subjected him. But since the once notorious institution has degenerated into Work Week and Culture Week and Improvement Week, his words don ' t command the same respect. Nothing impresses a freshman more profoundly than an account by an alumnus of a weird, torturous Hell Week in the old days the old days meaning that period when Hell Week was really hellish. Venerable was the word for the seniors of the knickers and turtle-neck sweater era. They wore mustaches and, everything considered, must have made an imposing appearance. Today ' s senior, who lacks all these adorn- ments and conversational background besides, must attempt to astound his younger brothers with colorful renditions of his drinking exploits. Excluding election to Phi Beta Kappa or the winning of a berth on some all star team, this is the only method left to him by which he can acquire the homage he feels is due. Of all the fraternities on the K. U. campus, not one celebrates Hell Week as it was originally conceived a modern rejuvenation of the ancient rites of suffering, symbolism, and trial through which candidates for admis- sion to ancient Grecian Mystic sects must pass before admittance. ' C ' BATERNITIES, today, have become shamefully - - utilitarian and prosaic, turning their pledge groups into nothing more interesting than labor battalions. The days of Hell are stripped of their mystery, their symbolism - and almost of their effect. Then, the defender of the old order asks, Is this the sort of thing which will be fit for the reminiscing in which every ex-Greek indulges after college? The fellows who were active in fraternities before the last war, felt that they had accomplished something heroic when Hell Week had passed. As a matter of fact, some of the sororities (who were not far behind the boys in taking up the custom) now have a more stimulating B l FEBRUARY 1941 185 program than the men. Whereas fraternities have relied upon the paddle and the floor mop to inspire their fledglings with the proper fra- ternal zeal, the girls have exercised more in- genuity. One of their stunts the rotten egg shampoo is far more clever than anything the fraternities have pulled off in recent years. Likewise the girls, under the guise of im- proving the emerald freshman, have invented exercises at 2 a.m., public kow-towing to ac- tives, embarrassing exhibitions, 4 a.m. study halls, tooth brush floor-scrubbing, and, fun- damentally, menial tasks of all kinds. The outsider questions the sanity of it all. What possible good can come out of two or three nightmarish, embarrassing, laboring days? On the surface, even the Greek will admit, there appears to be no re- ward except freshly-cleaned houses, dark-circled eyes, and blisters or callouses on the worked hands - or, if the paddle is used, on other parts. T UT, in houses where the quaint -L Hellenic custom of Hell Week is still practiced, the Greek man or woman will defend the policy. He will defend it more vigorously 10 years from now than he will today. He will say that those days of Hell taught him how to take it, that those nights of punishment taught him to cling to his brother or sister pledge as one drowning man clings to another, that the week taught him that his fraternity pin was not to be taken or given lightly, that it was worth working and suffering for. Most of all, Hell Week, he will say, taught him that working and even suffering can be a wonderful experience when persons he knows and likes are hanging on and doing the same things that he is. He may kick himself for ever pledging a fraternity, and feel sorry for himself, and scream and gripe his head off during Hell Week, but 10 years later he ' ll look back on that nightmare with perhaps a bit of longing. He ' ll think by golly he ' d like to go through it again, chuckle a little bit to him- self, and then wish by gosh it could have been twice as hard. But, there are Greeks who think the old- fashioned days of Hell as outmoded as barber- shop quintets. They believe in the gift on the silver platter, the reward without merit, the pay without work. Those are the Greeks who The Weird, Fascinating, Glamorous Torture of Yesterday is Gone . . . -ffell 14 ee e. Now Brings Out Callouses Instead of Goose-pimples 186 TIIK JXVII KKH have either abolished Hell Week or instigated it in its present form. TRYING to determine just when it was that Hell Week began to bring out callouses in- stead of goose-pimples on fraternity freshman would run even the great Gallup into trouble. The forces for modification probably went to work soon after the first blow was struck or at least after the mothers of freshmen noticed that some of the stripes in their sons ' corduroys didn ' t run vertically. This was a long time ago. The outcry against brutality in the fraternities still continues. A grammatically vigorous protest is a cinch for sale to almost any magazine. Until seven or eight years ago, it was possible to obtain from newspaper headlines the impression that pledges to the various Greek organizations were hung by their thumbs quite regularly. Reportorial accounts credited almost any student fatality to Greek initiations. Parents read or heard the accounts, shuddered, sent letters of protest some even threatened to hold back checks for much-needed house bills. Erroneously led to believe that Junior was being killed, parents, by their commands, de- prived Junior of a chance to suffer like a man and, perhaps, to come out of it like a man instead of like a soft, pampered adolescent. About that time a reaction occurred among the upperclassmen and they decided that humility, while a commendable quality in their frosh, wasn ' t so essential that they must inconvenience themselves in order to cultivate it. They also decided after a little advice from the dean of men, that the results they were getting weren ' t worth all the adverse publicity. Thus the stacks of paddles were stored away to collect dust and become prey of termites. Only on especial occasions, when reasoning with pledges in the new confirmed psychol- logical manner became ineffective, were the principles of force put into action via paddfe. Even where the stick of torture was retained as the most frequent form of encouraging the unwilling pledge, it was used less often and with a softening of the strength of the blow over previous years. 1VTIv RLY all the other outwardly terrify- ing, but in reality harmless or nearly so, methods of putting fraternal spirit into the plebe went into the ash can. Only the work method and a few silly and meaningless obser- vations remained. In a few houses, particularly sorority houses, Hell Week, labeled as such, might better be termed Fact Week. The fellow or girl, outside of a little labor, suffers only the punishment of memorizing the facts in the pledge manual of his or her fraternal society. Questions pertaining to endowments, conventions, location of chapters, social work are shot to the pledge from actives at any time of the day or night. Tagged as an excellent method of preparing for initiation, the system puts the pledge through little that is worse than a small replica of final week. Thus, Hell Week in its original meaning, is definitely on the decline. In past years, high school students looked forward to it as some- thing so terrifying and yet so fascinating that they wouldn ' t go through four years, three years, two years, or even one year of college without it. Greatly changed today, rushees coming on the Hill ask first of all, Do you have a Hell Week? - sometimes even before accepting a date bid to a favored house. GREEK houses really can ' t explain the change. Some of them like it. Some of them don ' t. But likee or no likee they all have to stick to it. Nevertheless, they all admit that the change is there. Years ago, fraternities or sororities had to have Hell Week to run competition with other houses which provided such an entertainment for pledges who wanted it. Now they have to discard the days of punishment entirely, or else soften the torture to a point where no pain is felt, for the same reason competition.

Allen ' s Jay- hawks roared into the second half of the Big Six basketball race, determined to gain sole pos- session of the conference title which they shared last year with Oklahoma and Missouri. As the Big Six schools paused for semester ex- aminations, the Jayhawks were sharing the league lead with Bruce Drake ' s Oklahoma Soon- ers largely due to the incredible pace set by Engleman and Allen, both members of last year ' s N.C.A.A. Ail-American quintet. Engleman ' s phenomenal performances dur- ing the first half of the season shot his average far ahead of the Big Six individual scoring cot ing TRAIL Groves, former Kansas State star. The blond magician of the maples racked up 33 field goals and 11 free throws in his first four conference contests for a total of 80 points and a cool 20 point a game average. Allen rode safely in second place in the Big Six individual scoring column. He could claim 14 field goals and 18 free throws for 46 points, or an 11.5 point a game average. At the same time, the classy Jayhawk quarterback guarded the opposing teams ' leading scorers and escaped with only two fouls recorded against h i m in four games. Having begun the season with their customary loss to Okla- homa at Nor- man, the Jay- hawks bounced back into the championship running with victories over Iowa State and Missouri at Lawrence and Kansas State at Manhattan. The Aggies, meanwhile, did their intrastate rivals an unex- pected good turn by tripping Oklahoma at Manhattan in an overtime period. Out of scrambles I ike Hi is, Kansas defeated Iowa Slate, M-41.

Our difficulty is our lack of altitude and manpower. We are superior in finesse and training. The morale is superb. But we are outmanned individually and col- lectively by our three strongest opponents - Nebraska, Iowa State, and Oklahoma. Because we realize that we lack height and weight, he continued, we are trying to build a more balanced offense and defense. To offset our opponents ' practice of putting additional guards on Engleman and Allen, we are having Rope and Bobbie pass to other men for shots. Marvin Sollenberger is improving his scoring percentage in practice and with T. P. Hunter, Vance Hall, and John Buescher coming through, we should have a more versatile offense from here on out. As for Howard and Bobbie, I ' d say that instead of faltering under the realization that they must do most of the scoring, they ' ve risen to the occasion and are showing no signs of letting up. The bespectacled Sollenberger, who is celebrating his first year on the Jayhawk varsity by hanging up more minutes of com- petition than most of the seniors, has pro- tected his position on the starting lineup since the beginning of the year with a skill- ful brand of rebounding and floor play. John Kline, like Sollenberger, never has been known as a scorer, but the former Hutchinson high school star has been carry- ing his share of the load through his ability as a guard and rebounder. In addition, the dependable veteran has been slipping in for an occasional setup. recent addition of Ed Hall, bulky Jayhawk grid fullback and intramural basketball star, should provide a portion of the brawn and drive which the Jayhawks lack. Then, too, the scoring power of the team should climb another notch as soon as John Thin Man Buescher, sophomore for- ward, conquers influenza and a persistent carbuncle.

(Photos by Maurice Jackson] 190 THE JAYHA VKER games ahead with Iowa State and Nebraska, Phog concluded, we now have a balance which we didn ' t have before. Now our younger men are beginning to shoulder their part of the burden. As members of the Kansas crew prepared for their non-conference contest with Wichita Allen as the best yearling squad he has seen in 22 years, the Jayhawks edged past Texas University ' s Steers two nights in a row by scores of 35 to 27 and 18 to 45. The box score of those two games hinted of things to come as Engleman and Allen accounted for 31 of their quintet ' s 35 points in the first contest (Photo by Hal Branine) University Feb. 3, the Scoreboard showed that their efforts during the first half of the season had earned them six victories against three defeats, two of which were suffered on the Christmas holiday trip to New York City. Following a 33 to 31 triumph over the fresh- man team, which, incidentally, is rated by Pluxj ' s men put into prac- tice his plan for a more balanced offense and defense here against Iowa Stale and 35 of the 48 Kansas points in the second game. Playing on strange courts and with Allen, Sollenberger, and Hall hampered by cases of influenza, the Jayhawks dropped the first two games of their trip to the East during the Christmas holidays. Despite Engleman ' s 21 BOB ALLEN VANCE HALL HOWARD ENGLEMAN points, they fell before the Fordham Rams in New York City ' s Madison Square Garden 53 to 42. Two nights later, they lost to Temple at Philadelphia 40 to 35. The third game brought the Kansans a 41 to 40 verdict over Loyola ' s Ramblers in the Chicago Coliseum. Still showing the effects of their long eastern trip and the flu epidemic which accompanied it, the Jayhawks deposited themselves in the Rig Six cellar by losing their opening con- ference encounter to the Sooners at Norman 42 to 31. However, they immediately began to lift themselves out of this unfamiliar spot by de- feating a favored Iowa State team, which previously had won eight straight non-conference games, 44 to 41. The 3,000 fans who packed Hoch auditorium to watch Kansas win its next contest from Missouri, 48 to 41, saw Engleman hit a new scoring high for the season as he poured 10 field goals and five free throws through the basket. Wind- ing up their first semester ' s en- counters, the Jayhawks rolled over Coach Jack Gardner ' s Kansas State Wildcats in Manhattan by a score of 46 to 41. )HOG may, at times, well de- - - spair of his reputation for turn- ing out winning teams. He ' s done it for so many years that students have come to expect too much. Even basketball wizard, Phog JOHN KLINE (Photos by Maurice Jackson) Allen, can ' t be infallible. He has to have a team which loses a game occasionally. Even dead-eye Engleman has to miss a basket occasionally. Even big John Kline sometimes has to admit that he deserves the fouls which put him out of the game. These fallacies are all part of the game. The mistakes as well as the perfection serve to make the game what it is. All in all, however, perfection seems to overshadow mistake for the Jayhawks this year. They are well on the scoring trail that leads to championship.

Trailing the Phi Gams and Phi Delts are the Newman Club with 435 points, Beta Theta Pi with 372, Sigma Alpha Epsilon with 357, and Phi Kappa Psi with 347, all within striking distance of the pace- setters. Other contenders with an outside chance to finish high are Sigma Chi, Kappa Sigma, Delta Tan Delta, Co-op Houses, Sigma Nu, and Delta Chi. These sweepstake totals are not complete as yet. Winter and spring com- petition, too, will make evident changes. Contrary to last year ' s high-scoring basket- ball contests, this year ' s race might be dis- tinguished by its low scores, both in team and individual play. At this time last February, Harold Lamplighter Johnson, A. K. Psi, boasted an average of 20 points per game. Closest man to Johnson ' s mark of a year ago is Larry McSpadden, Phi Gam, with a 12.2 average which tops Division II and the entire intramural field. It is doubtful if any Kansas intramuralite will ever equal Johnson ' s per- formance of 53 points tallied in a single game last year. D. Gibbens, A. K. Psi, leads Division I with a 9.5 average, an all-time low for a point- gathering leader. High scorer in Division III is Don Graham, Dodger, w r ith an impressive 11.3 record over a six-game span. FOUR teams, who have played half of their scheduled contests and have yet to taste defeat, are Delta Chi, Newman I, Beta Theta Pi, and Newman II. Delta Chi heads Divi- sion I with 5 wins. The loss of Ed Hall, and all- star guard who has added his versatile strength to the varsity squad, has knocked out Delta Chi hopes for a cage title. The Phi Psis, Tekes, and Sig Alphs are other standout outfits in this division. Surprise team of the season is the unbeaten Beta five, first place outfit in Division II with five victories. Sigma Chi and Phi Gamma Delta rest in a two-way tie for second place while Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Phi Epsilon are also-rans with a chance to gain play- off berths.

The Dodgers and Dead End Kids would have to win all of their remaining games to be in the running. Last year the biggest scramble for places in the play-off was in Division I. Delta Chi, defending champions in this division, appeared to be one of the logical choices to enter the final round. Ed Hall and Norman Kraemar were the co-stars for this outfit. Presenting the biggest obstacle, were the Phi Gams, this year ' s second-place team of Division II. With the addition, then, of Larry McSpadden to their already strong team of Chain Healey, Jim Morris, Porky Hambric, and Harold Long, the Phi Gams were forecast as giving Delta Chi a run for its money. The two other teams most likely to enter the play-offs were the Phi Delts, led by Bill McKinley and Sam Sifers, and the Sig Alphs, paced by Bill Hall and Gene Hiatt. In men ' s intramurals, history does not repeat itself completely. B team basketball finds Phi Psi B, Beta B, and Phi Gam B deadlocked in first place in Division IV while Phi Delt B heads Divi- sion V with Sig Alph B and Sigma Chi B a game behind. Last year in Class B the Phi Gams were favorites to take the bunting, with the Kappa Sigs prophesied as close-to-the-heel-chasers. Two other Class B teams running high in making play-off with Class C bets were the Sig Alphs and the Phi Psis. In Class C, the Betas were favorites with the Phi Delts and Phi Psis trailing in that order. IVT EARLY every team - has produced players of exceptional ability this year.

But woman is not ignored when she shows real ability in sporting competition. Very soon 26 Hill women will be initiated into W.A.A., because of their athletic talents. The following will be awarded letters: Marian Milhoan, Maxine Miller, Marianne Lacey, Margaret Whitehead, Marjorie Rader, Helen Wilson, Kathryn Schaake, and Wanda Horosko. Initiation and awarding of the letters will follow the volley ball dinner in the Memorial Union. At the same time, varsity hockey and volley ball teams will be an- nounced. Those gaining berths on the hockey team are: V. Bell, W. Horosko, E. Kinney, M. L. Chappie, M. Rader, M. Wells, H. Arlson, G. Bitter, A. Bingham, E. Herriman, and L. Smith. On the volley ball team are: V. Bell, E. Irwin, E. Kinney, M. B. Dodge, E. Herriman, G. Bitter, A. Bingham, L. Grizzell, M. Wells, and P. Davis. At the present the Kappa Kappa Gammas are well in the lead in the total number of points received from various tournaments. It will take fast work from some 14 other in- tramural teams if the athletic-minded girls from Gower place are to be stopped before they grab off another intramural loving cup this spring. Trailed by Pi Beta Phi with 251 points, pace-setting Kappa Kappa Gamma has been able to assemble a total of 360 points. Next, fighting for third place, are Chi Omega, Alpha Chi, and Kappa Alpha Theta. A year ago at this time Pi Beta Phi was beat- ing Kappa Kappa Gamma consistently in nearly every sport. Now, however, the hoax seems to be broken. The Kappa girls hold top honors in volley ball, golf, tennis (singles and doubles), and handball tournaments. Watkins Hall won first place in horseshoes; and Pi Beta Phi. first in archery. WINNER of the top sport of the season, basketball, has not been determined yet. At the time of writing, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Corbin Hall, and E.T.C. were in a three-way tie for first place each with three wins. All three teams, evenly matched, stand a good chance of being pushed down into second or third place to tie with I.W.W. or I.N.D. Coming battles will, of necessity, be hot. Even Phog Allen ' s boys can ' t top such girls as S. Irwin, Hinshaw, and Grizzell in zeal and grim determination to succeed. A champion ping pong team hasn ' t yet been declared. Miller Hall, Kappa, and Corbin and I Hall are all undefeated. In the aerial darts tournament, Mary Beth Dodge, Kappa, and Peggy Davis, Theta, have fought their way to the finals for Division I. Those participating in semi-finals for Division II are Willcuts, E.T.C., vs. B. Roberts, Theta, and E. Herriman, I.W.W., vs. S. Irvvin, Kappa. In spite of the interest women take in even the most trivial phases of their sports, the big event of the spring sport season will be the Quack Club exhibition. Performing to music, members of this organization in small indi- vidual groups will show the beauty of form in water stunts. Present plans are to have the University men ' s swimming team put on ex- hibition races as a part of the program. With the coming of spring, sports and shorts will take to the outdoors. Newly-organized baseball teams will draw the most attention and the greatest crowds to intramural fields. A spring tennis tournament will also be scheduled. It is interesting to note that a number of freshman girls are heading for places near the top of the point list. Their names will appear frequently in this column in years to come. BUT the highly-regimentalized sphere of intramurals is not the only field which prompts Hill women to don play togs and acquire a freckle or muscle as weather be- comes warmer. Riding in groups of two to six has become increasingly popular since the spring-like days of February. Women fencers, who actually engage in inter-collegiate competition, stay inside for their sport. They will tell the outsider that the graceful art of foil, thrust, touche, and passe is like olives hard to get used to, but easy to evolve into a passion. Hand-in-hand with the Friday night date, midwinter-spring brings an increasing popu- larity for the bowling date. Women love the rumble of the boards and the thrill of the strike. Some of them get a strike more fre- quently than their masculine companions. Like Miami dollies, K.U. ' s woman takes her sport life in play clothes. But the Hill gal wears plain, practical togs rather than South Sea drapery, and she displays her costume in motion rather than in recline under an unbrella. 196 THE JAYHAWKKR IM llMllliriMIX, CHARLES WRIGHT CREATING good will among the people of Kansas toward their state university is the task of Charles Chuck Wright, head of the statewide activities movement. We ' ll have a bigger job to do in the future than we have had in the past, Wright says. Our cor- respondents ' bureau should play the greatest part in the movement during the coming years. Though most of Wright ' s time this year is con- sumed by the multitude of tasks connected with publicizing the University, he also is a member of Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, and the Ku Kus. In addition, he represents Delta Chi in intramural football and basketball. A senior in the School of Fine Arts, majoring in design, Wright has at one time or another been president of the freshman Y.M.C.A., a member of the Y.M.C.A. cabinet and central activities com- mittee, and a candidate for the M.S.C. on the P.S.G.L. ticket. Extra-curricular activity is Chuck ' s prime hobby. BOB TRUMP (Photos by Maurice Jackson) HOH ALLEN IVE the ball to junior! Many have heard this cry from far off in the balcony when the Kansas basketball team was lagging behind. But few realize that Bob Allen ' s court leadership has won many apparently-lost games for the Jayhawks. His exposure to basketball goes back as far as he can remember. He played the game through grade school, junior high, and high school. Now he stands second in Big Six scoring and few can forget his brilliant play when Kansas won the Western N.C.A.A. tournament in Kansas City last spring. He decided early in life to be a doctor. Already he has been admitted to the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine where he plans to major in surgery and hopes later to specialize in brain surgery. Inci- dentally, he will help coach the Penn freshmen at the request of officials who contacted him when the Jayhawks made their eastern tour at Christmas. His laurels don ' t end with sports, however. He has Phi Beta Kappa grades and is a member of Sachem and Owl Society. MAURICE JACKSON CHARLOTTE STEEl COMBINING intelligence with friendliness has been Charlotte Steel ' s extra-curricular major during her three years at K.U. Acting as president of the Independent Students ' Association last year was one of her bigger jobs. When she isn ' t directing some project for that organi- zation, there are at least three other things that she might be doing working on some design project, attending a Mortar Board or Delta Chi Delta meeting, or answering 860 telephone calls. Bicycling and going to shows are her favorite pas- times but she says thumbs down on games and hats. After Charlotte is graduated in June she hopes to attend Tone Coburn ' s School of Commercial Adver- tising in New York City. EMILY JEAN MILAM JEAN KLUSSMAN JEAN KLUSSMAN ' S flute has been her instrument of success. Although involved in Fine Arts as a public school music major, Jean would rather make concert tours than teach. Opportunities for travel gave impetus to her choice. Through the University band, Jean has gained chances for woodwind quintet work in regular radio broadcasts. Along with this have come a membership in Mu Phi Epsilon in her junior year and a place on the W.S.G.A. council as Fine Arts representative. The Jay Janes claimed her for two years and the Alpha Omicron Pis placed Jean at the head of their house in ' 40. Interests point to dancing, reading, horseback riding, watching people (especially on a train), and lots of corresponding to Yale. CHARLINE JOHNSON WINIFRED HILL T OUB years a piano major, Winifred Hill can knock off a gavotte in no time but she doesn ' t recommend such finer Fine Arts for the unambitious.

Filling in with as little public school music as possible, she frankly wants to be a professional accompanist. Winnie has been Glee Club accompanist all her four years besides spending some time with Y.W.C.A.

Besides being a member of the Men ' s Student Council, Yankey belongs to the Pachacamac Inner Circle and acts as secretary of Delta Sigma Pi, professional commerce fraternity. But the field in which Yankey really excels is intramurals.

GLEE SMITH 200 THE JAYHAWKER THE TRIUMPH OF ooeuon W Intel by JANE ANTHONY THERE was once a great giant named Winter, son of Winter and of a million winters, and he roamed the earth from season to season. Now, when he was in far-away Kansas, the land of dust deserts and of a strange sect called Republicans, who did admonish the people and ever call upon the days of their forefathers, he became tired and sat down upon a mountain called Oread to rest. And while he was resting, a vast coldness did spread over this mountain so that the folk who lived thereon were sore oppressed with dis- comfort and misery. Lo! The professors did become irate and poured words of chas- tisement upon their pupils. And the pupils did fret under the chain of labor and did call on the spirit of the polished apple for deliverance. Then the winds blew and the storms came and snow and ice did verily cover the ground. Young maidens did fall upon their posteriors on the steps of the halls of learning and young men did put a demon called alcohol in their vehicles. Such was the torment which lay over Oread Hill as the giant Winter slept disturbingly on throughout the moons of December and January and February. NOW there was at the same time, a fine strong lad who did live in a vast house on this Hill. He bore the name of Pooeyon Winter and did sorely hate the slumbering giant. Often he lay upon his couch surrounded by his books of knowledge and dreamed of ways by which he could free the good people of Oread from the monster. One day while the lad, Pooeyon Winter, was A Miracle Had Occurred on the Mountain Named Oread in Far-Away Kansas deep in his cups of coca cola and lime, he was visited by the goddess, Springa, whose beauty was of the sun and the moon and the stars that of yore hung low over the land of Steak-fry. Verily this goddess felt pity for the suffer- ings of Pooeyon Winter and spoke gently to him saying: Pooeyon Winter, speak to your country- men, your fellow sufferers. Tell them to dis- card the pajamas of flannelette, the suits for snow, the coats of multi-colored rabbit ' s fur, the monstrous socks that do reach nigh the knee. Obey me in this, for the giant, feeling that you are afraid of him, will tarry long in your land. But, if you defy him, he will take leave. Pre- pare yourself, however. You may suffer before you rid yourself of Winter. There may be days of the plague of aching throat and shoulders shaking. Lo! Even your skin may pray to the god of hand lotion and, in the night, your bones may cry to the god of hot water bottle. But through all, my son of a thou- sand miseries, you must stand firmly like the cement block, else Winter may tarry forever. THUS saying, Springa vanished, and finish- ing his drink of coca cola and lime, Pooeyon Winter went forth to preach the gospel of Springa to his fellows. Like blindmen and beggars, they did follow him. But when they found they must hasten to the doctors of Watkins for medicines and herbs and vile-tasting syrups, they rebelled. Yet strong was the will of Pooeyon Winter and he prevailed upon his fellows for but one more day to prove the prophecy of Springa true. Verily, the virtue of Pooeyon Winter did (Continued on Page US) (Pholo by Maurice Jackson) U intet Dnteilu.de Tlte Union Ping Pong Team is the official University representative. Meet Champion Malcolm Black. WHEN the architects made plans for re- modeling the sub-basement of the Union Building they forgot about including any heating unit for the southwest corner room. That room, in case you ' ve never had any occasion to frequent it, is the office of the Union Activities Board and the glorified office-boy who made the above cool remark is none other than Carter Butler, president of the board. With such a chilly start it might appear that no warmth could emanate from this room but that is where you are wrong. More warmth in the form of friendship and goodwill is dis- pensed from this office than perhaps any other single room on the campus. In fact, that is one of the main ideas of the board to secure the friendship of all the students on the Hill and then to bring them into actual contact with the activity program UNIT FOR Friendship and From the Student by CHUCK ELLIOTT (Photos by Maurice Jackson) carried on in the Union. The idea that the Union is the students ' building and that the more they work for it the more they will gain from it is quite a problem to present effectively to students. At least that is what the Union Operating Committee, composed of faculty members and students, thought three years ago. Conse- quently they organized the Student Union Activities Board. This board was to have a president, vice-president, secretary, three mem- bers of the W.S.G.A., and two members of the Men ' s Student Council as its personnel. Miss Hermina Zipple, chief director of the Union, holds an ex-officio position. THE board is responsible to the Union Operating Committee which handles all of the important issues. The committee is, in turn, responsible to the board of directors of the Kansas Union Corporation which controls the Union building. The work of the board is carried on by five sub-committees with Butler supervising the chairmen. First of these committees is pub- licity with Maurice Jackson as its head. The many posters scattered about the campus and in the Union connected with activities in the Union are results of publicity campaigns planned by this committee. Jackson is editor of the K Union, official bulletin of the Kansas Memorial Union, which is published monthly by this committee. This is its second year of publication. Also the many photographic and art ex- hibits displayed in the lounge of the Union as well as the works of handicraft and book designs are the result of this committee ' s labor. The intramurals committee has a new leader in Hobart Potter who replaced Ann Bobbins after she moved to Lincoln. The FEBRUARY 1941 203 Unl Good Will Emanate Union ilii ilirs Ituard committee is one of the most active for it sponsors all bridge, ping pong, chess, billiard, and pool tournaments as well as free bridge lessons. The Union ping pong team is the official University representative, and at present is undefeated. A schedule of matches has been started with Kansas City University, Kansas State, Nebraska, and the Topeka Table Tennis Association. In all probability the team will be sent to the intercollegiate ping pong tourna- ment at Canton, Mo. Winners of the pool and billiard tour- naments are placed on a team which rep- sents the University in telegraph matches sponsored by the National Asso- ciation of University Union Buildings. IT ' EITH SPAULDING tops the stu- - - - dent public relations committee which sponsors the Town Hall of the Air meetings that are held in the main lounge each Thursday night. After listen- ing to the radio program, those present are led in a discussion by a faculty mem- ber or an appointed leader. Movies of Fred Waring shown one night and the Homecoming open house were other activities sponsored by this committee. One of the outstanding additions to the Union was the completion of the music room last year. Betty Van Deventer is in charge of the music committee which prepares programs such as an opera, vocal, or instrumental night each week from their library of 685 records. After a tiresome day of work in the class- rooms many students enjoy relaxation to the smooth tempos of Mozart, Verdi, Wagner and other artists. The music room is open four hours a day.

Brown - omits one dynamic aspect his own personality. Simple evidence of the power of that personality plus a great teaching ability is in the num- ber of students demanding his general, social, and abnormal psychology courses. The basis for an intensive career was laid when he was graduated as bachelor of science cum laude from Yale in 1925. His record earned him an exchange fellowship to Berlin. There under the influence of the famous Koehler, he changed his course from social anthropology to psychology. In 1927, he returned to Yale and teaching. In 1929 and 1930, he again studied in Berlin, coming back to take a position as assistant professor at the University of Colorado. A teaching position at this University since 1932 culminated in a professorship in 1939. In addition, he is chief psychologist at the Menninger Clinic in Topeka. The result of such a career must be mo- mentous and it is. Dr. Brown has written three books and is collaborating on a fourth. A noted Freudian, he has written over 20 critical and experi- mental papers, several of which are written in German.

After graduation, he worked on a newspaper for a while, was principal of a high school, and then came back to Mount Oread in 1915 as the first full-time alumni secretary. In 1916, he became the chairman of the department of journalism. In, or about, 1925 he had his first attack of text- book-itis, as he terms it. Before the spell had worn off, he had written and published three books on phases of journalism. All are being used today somewhere. By far the greatest hobby of the Shack ' s re- spected head is keeping up with graduated stu- dents who studied under him in past years. Each year his lists, and his correspondence, grow.

DEAN SIMS (Photos by Ed Garich) T. H. MARSHALL T. H. Marshall, head of the depart- ment of chemical engineering, is recognized nationally for his work. He is listed in America ' s Young Men and Who ' s Who in Engineering. Before coming to the University in 1935 and building his department to a position as second largest in size in the School of Engineering, he tried his hand at all phases of chemical engineer- ing, from research work in processing raw silk to training for chemical warfare. Professor Marshall ' s time is so absorbed in the many activities in connection with his department and the University, that he has had to push aside his hobby of motion picture photography. He heads the operating committee charged with coordinating events that are to take place during the University ' s Diamond Jubilee this June. He is a member of the Summerfield scholarship com- mittee, and until this year, he has traveled an average of 700 miles a month doing research work for the Kansas State Board of Health. Managing an active interest in the numerous organizations of which he is a member, Professor Marshall belongs to Sigma Xi, Alpha Chi Sigma, Lambda Chi Alpha, American Institute of Chemi- cal Engineers, Scabbard and Blade, and is a captain in the chemical warfare division of O.R.C.

Elmer F. Beth, professor in the department of journalism, is somewhat off the beaten path in some ways. Coming to the University from Moscow, Idaho, where he was on the faculty of the University of Idaho, he brought the unheard-of idea that a college education could be practical. His courses are built on the principle that a person can be educated and still know what ' s going on in the world. Professor Beth ' s home life is, as you can plainly see, what one might call normal. He, wife Ella and the two offspring, Lois and Roger, live in a house which was rented by mail, before the family arrived in Lawrence. Besides being a teacher, Mr. Beth dangles his Phi Beta Kappa key over the editorial page of the University Daily Kansan. An ardent amateur photographer, he sometimes digs the journalism department ' s Graflex out of its dusty corner and takes some art shots for fun. The idea of ___l _ll __ teaching was not Mr. Beth ' s, but he likes it pretty well.

There were 75 men and one woman in the class. (32 of the boys were wearing glasses). About 70 per cent of them were from K. U. and all except two or three were from the State of Kansas. Our ques- tions covered causes, treatment, diagnosis, and changes in medical cases.

But Dr. Barney progressed only as far as question number 38, before we had to ad- journ, so that we could go to our 9 o ' clock class in fractures. 9 a.m. Our lecture for this one-hour class came from Dr. Coburn, on skull fractures and spinal cord injuries. Dr. Coburn is Dr. Teachenor ' s right hand man. Dr. Coburn be- gan by telling the class of 77 that most concussions begin on the foot- ball field or in the boxing ring. A boxer can be knocked down for the count of nine, and then get back up on his feet and continue, having just suffered from a slight concussion. He will probably have a headache afterwards. Dr. Coburn also added that there was the family problem: Assure the family that the fracture of the skull is of no consequence, but it is the underlying brain lesion that determines the extent of the injury. Leaving Dr. Coburn, our next trip was downstairs to the clinic. 10 a.m. We were divided into small groups of eight, which studied in three large groups under the headings of medicine, surgery, and optional. Each of these three main divisions was split into smaller groups. We made the Traditionally no puncher of time clocks, the doctor is called at any time of the day. Thin fellow heads for an O.

Dr. Rabe increased our small knowledge on varicose veins, then gave us instructions on treating broken arms. Next, we went through the process of taking a case history on a boy suffering from gas pains in the stomach. Our chart followed this out- line somewhat: 1. Chief complaint; 2. present illness; 3. past history; 4. family history; 5. habits; 6. a review of the systems. We diag- nosed the case and waited for a doctor to check our decisions. 11 a.m. Dr. C. B. Francisco ' s orthopedic clinic was next on our list. We entered his room as he was inspect- ing a young Kansas farmer boy, who claimed an injured back. No bad injury could be spotted; the doctor advised him to take a month ' s rest. From Dr. Francisco ' s clinic, we went up- stairs to pay a visit to courageous Weston Wells. W r ells was a member of the junior medical class at the hospital when he was struck by infantile paralysis in September. Since then he has been in an artificial respira- tor, better known as an iron lung.

The wielders of the slip-stick countered with action, and so began a feud which has waxed intermittently ever since. Of late years the retaliation of the engineers has been rather half-hearted, an occasional painting of Uncle The laboratory and laboratory formulas proridi- tin- chemical engineer irith a background for a life of healing, miring, and pouring With blui- prints nnil hard pencils, arcliilfcl- etujineers plan tomorrow ' I structures Jimmy Green ' s statue being their only vigorous effort. However, the jokes of the lawyers, like their whistlings on the steps, go on forever. Out of these jokes have risen so much abuse and myth that the essentially noble character of the lowly engineer is almost obscured. Contrary to the lawyer ' s propaganda, an engineer is not a college student with its brain removed. A knowledge of this fundamental fact is necessary for an understanding of that being known as a Kansas engineer. A certain degree of intelligence is possible in an engineer, popular University opinion and circumstantial evidence notwithstanding. An engineer is a normal human organism. He the number of female students in the school is too small to merit consideration - drinks beer and apple-polishes, tries to cram for examinations and horns in on bull sessions. By tradition he is unsocial; actually, he isn ' t. In fact, he is an inveterate joiner, has Kappa Eta Kappa, Theta Tau, and Triangle for semi- social, semi-professional associations. In addi- tion, each branch of engineering there are seven has its own professional organization ; and the entire school has the two honorary scholastic fraternities, Sigma Tau and Tau FEBRUARY 1941 211 Beta Pi. Since all of his classes are predomi- nately male, the engineer must acquire most of his contacts with females by other means. He sits on the front steps of Marvin Hall watching the Gamma Phis and Chi Omegas stroll by, and once a year throws his Hobnail Hop and elects an Engineering Queen. O Y the length of time he attends classes and -L laboratories 30 hours every week is not uncommon the engineer is distinguished from the average University student. He is, also, distinguished from the average Joe College. He is intensely serious about his work. As a professional man he must master each course as he comes to it. Although he won ' t be seen at jelly joints every afternoon, he does find time to engage in most of the other extra- curricular activities which interest him. Many of the slide-rule jugglers spend spare moments working with Charles Baer on his Kansas Engineer, official quarterly publica- tion of their school. Although he is a sort of gregarious hermit, the engineer still has ideas which he wishes to voice. The Engineer is his outlet. Then, usually on the date of the Kansas Relays, the Engine School holds its annual Exposition and Field Day at which each de- partment has an individual display. This event attracts the interest of many high school stu- dents and renders valuable publicity for the school. Rivalry among the departments is manifested in swim- ming, baseball, tug of war, and other games. Above all, the engi- neer is a proud man - proud of both his school and himself. He is proud of the national reputation of Mount Oread Tech, knows that there is only one other school in the countrv that has a Metallurgical engineers can tell real gold from fool ' s gold as easily as hardened Alaskans. Assaying ore to determine its metal content is but one of their many tasks. greater percentage of alumni listed in Who ' s Who in Engineering. He is proud of his fine faculty, but doesn ' t hesitate to speak frankly when he feels that a member is wronging him. He is proud of his long laboratories, technical reports, and com- plicated problems. He thinks there is no other type of education which is difficult to conquer - and he is probably right. He thinks that Dean Jakosky is a pretty good guy, and that ex-Dean Crawford was a pretty good guy, too. He Lilies to Hear the Lawyers V HI, You Can ' t Insult Him; He ' s an He is not afraid to face graduation. He has no fear of employment lines. He knows that the country needs him now, more than ever. He is conscious of the excellent chance that he has for getting a position if he does credit- able work at K.U. Usually he ' s proud, too, of his own scientific approach, his analytical mind, and his slide rule; by these things shall ye know him. But most of all he ' s proud of his reputation for indifference, a studied pose. He likes to hear the lawyers yell, You can ' t insult him; he ' s an engineer. 212 THE JAYHAWKER MOUNT OREAD ABBEY Where Dust Covers Only the Records and Memotij Remains Alive bv JIM SURFACE FULL many a flower is born to blush un- seen, and waste its sweetness on the desert air, Thomas Gray said as he mused in a country churchyard. Linger in the Univer- sity ' s own churchyard, Mount Oread Abbey. The Hill abbey contains nothing dead. Its content is the living memory of men who have left this campus to seek and capture fame. Its structure is the record in writing and in memory that relates the accomplishments of former K. U. professors. Each contributed to the progress and fame of this University, but none could long con- fine himself within its bounds when the clarion for greater fields of conquest was sounded. An eastern educator once said that if the University of Kansas by some extreme method of coercion could have retained its faculty members who have an- swered the call of fame, Mount Oread would bristle with one of the most bril- liant intellectual aggrega- tions in this country. In a short journey only a few stones in this hall of fame can be read. Some of the men are dead, but some live on bearing the torch of learning. CURST is the legend of Clarence Addison - - Dykstra, the present national director of the selective service act. Dykstra came here in 1909 as a member of the department of History. He was 26 at this time. In 1918, he left to take charge of the Cleveland Civic Club in Cleveland, Ohio. From this position in municipal government he advanced to City Manager of Cincinnati, Ohio, and still later President of the University of Wisconsin. He was in the latter office when he was called last October to head the administration of the Burke-Wadsworth Selective Service Act. He is remembered here by many faculty members as a winsome, well-behaved, gentleman whose classes were always extremely popular. A similar find is Harry A. Millis, present chairman of the National Labor Relations Board. Millis was a professor here in the de- partment of economics from 1912 to 1916. During the latter part of his time here he was head of the department. In an article in the New Republic, January 6, 1941, entitled, Dr. Millis; Scientist of Labor Jonathon Mitchell describes this gray mastiff of a man ' ' as vaguely resembling Hawthorne ' s The Great Stone Face . Millis was known here as a scholar unto himself and a helper unto everyone. In the social science division of Oread Abbey, look for the story of Carl Becker, eminent historical writer, now at Cornell University . Guy Stanton Ford, president of Minne- sota, who was on this campus two years ago, has said that Carl Becker was the first true history writer in the United States. Becker taught on the Hill from 1907 until 1916 when he went to Minnesota for one year and then to Cornell. CLARENCE Erwin McClung, so the archives say, started at the University as a student of pharmacy.

Miss Lear grew up in a small town near Quincy, 111., and attended the University of Illinois before coming to this University to obtain her Bachelor of Arts degree. Similar to the man who came to dinner, Miss Lear took her present job with the intention of stay- ing only one semester but she has stayed 20 years. Constantly busy, Miss Lear ' s school year starts early in the summer with preparation for the hectic days of enrollment lines. Throughout the year, the assistant to the dean is responsible for the arrangement of the dean ' s appointments. A large part of her time is devoted to the checking of senior graduation requirements. Outside of working hours, she has two hobbies that absorb her time bridge, and meeting people. The latter of the two is most important. Meetings with faculty and students afford Miss Lear her greatest satisfaction. DAVE WHITNEY ROBERTA TUCKER CLIMBING Mount Oread is sissy stuff to Roberta Tucker who has the hobby of scaling mountains. The Hill ' s new Y.W.C.A. secretary was graduated from Ohio State in 1938. That fall she entered the Theological Seminary of New York and Columbia Teachers College. There ' s a time and place for everything and music is no exception. I couldn ' t bear to listen to ' boogie woogie ' on Sunday, Miss Tucker says. She is a great lover of vocal music, favoring the classical, although swing is all right at times. Further more she likes to read, swim, and climb mountains. Most of her time on the Hill has been spent, so far, in getting acquainted and in adapting herself to this new position of a jillion tasks. Already she has begun the work of helping many students find themselves and their real interests in the daily college whirl. The desire of Roberta Tucker to make good in the field of social administration is backed by a bound- less energy, a sparkling personality, and a deter- mined will. DEAN SIMS THE JAYHAWKER annon TO THE RIGHT, A HE we going to war? We don ' t know, but - - we ' d like to own a few shares of Du Pont or Douglas Aircraft stock. No one seems to know for certain whether we ' re going to war or not everybody is too busy wondering if the liberty our ancestors won in 1776 is going to be lost through Roosevelt ' s lend-lease bill, ironically numbered 1776. Cannon to the right of us, cannon to the left of us that ' s the dilemma of the Ameri- can college youth today. National defense is the new pet phrase of all radio newscasters. K. U. and National Defense that ' s what we want to talk about. Certainly K. U. is help- ing out in national defense and we don ' t mean just the R.O.T.C., either. There are courses over in Marvin hall that will have But We Still bv ELDON CORKILL plenty to do with defense industry, and there ' s the student pilot training course. And the faculty members are making speeches, en- couraging cooperation of young men and women with the government defense program. Mount Oread was cooperating with national emergency in 1918 when the Student Army Training Corp was established. More than two thousand men were stationed here in the student army, and lived in barracks on Mis- sissippi street near McCook iield. Those men were training to be future officers. Many of them never saw actual service because of the November armistice, but all were ready to serve if called. After the S.A.T.C. came the Reserve Offi- cers ' Training Corp. The purpose of the new organization was to train reserve officers so that the United States Army would never be caught lacking in officer material. The lack of preparation in 1917 had taught a lesson. But the new R.O.T.C. met some opposition. A few who had learned a costly lesson in the Great War feared a jingoistic spirit on college campuses would promote another war. But the R.O.T.C. grew and thrived, and opposi- tion waned. And as time went on, enrollment in the corp increased, better uniforms were provided, more and better instructors, and better equipment. This year, more than 700 students are taking courses that will teach them the elements of war, among other things. War is not advocated in any R.O.T.C. course. There is no jingoism around Fowler grove. Colonel Baldwin and his staff simply do their duty -- they teach capable young men how to cope with any emergency that might arise - either in war or in peace. The R.O.T.C. is building leaders. T7EW people realize that a military course such as the one given here on the Hill teaches anything other than firing of guns and the technique of killing. Men receive other training. First aid, leadership, military and FEBRUARY 1941 215 annon TO THE LEFT Hate Wah civil courtesy, cleanliness, posture, history - all these are taught in military courses. An officer is supposed to be a gentleman with a thorough knowledge of the mechanics of war, to be sure but always a gentleman and a leader a man who can take responsibility during an emergency. That is the purpose of the Reserve Officers ' Training Corp. And there is one other thing most people don ' t understand about military men. Every- one seems to think that all members of any military organization are studying for war, and that consequently they are in favor of war. Nothing could be farther from the truth. If war comes, those young men will discard their blue K. U. uniforms and will be ready for the army but not one of them wants war. Those boys in uniform know quite a bit about war and they don ' t want any part of it but if they need to fight for America, they will and they ' ll be prepared. r ' ' HE student pilot training course is another - - phase of national defense. Future pilots and training instructors are getting valuable experience. The hours spent in winging around above Mount Oread are not hours of idleness - they are hours of learning and experience. K. U. is doing its part cooperating with the government in sponsoring a wings over America spirit here on the campus. Thus, so many University students are training to do their part in defending their native land. Their services, they hope, may never be needed. But if the worst comes to the worst, as it sometimes does, the training re- ceived at the University will be a great help. Engineers trained in Marvin hall, chemists trained in the Bailey laboratories, doctors trained in the medical school, and the officers trained in Fowler shops to mention only a few will actively aid America. Translators, journalists, accountants, salesmen, builders, drafters and designers, botanists, geologists, pharmacists, and many others will be needed by the government. But these students don ' t want war they just stand ready if needed. Many faculty members are reserve officers of one rank or another. A number of students have dropped out of school to train with the national guard at Camp Robinson, Arkansas. These guardsmen are already singing We ' re in the Army Now and Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning (ASCAP). Other campus males between the ages of 21 and 35 expect to be singing the same songs sometime in the near future. BUT, someone asks, what does all this mean? That ' s a hard question to answer. No one seems to want war, especially in America. Even Adolph, Joe, Benito, and the Rising Sun premier say they don ' t want war. America isn ' t training for war it ' s preparing for national defense. The international situation is so mixed up that anything can happen and undoubtedly will. Any far-sighted architect planning to (Continued on Page 242) 216 THE J VYII KKR 7?, 1(2 n MATIM; Burlesque on That Grand Old Collegiate Institution by MICHAEL STEWART FAREWELL to Sadie Hawkins Day and hail to good St. Valentine! February re- turns to its normal state, and discards its leap year addition. In spite of the fact that males are off the defensive and once more must take the initiative, statisticians report no marked decrease in dating. In the January issue of Fie, the author stumbled across a feature entitled Fie Goes on a Date at the University of Kansas. He was convinced that the article was the type of work which appeared only once in a decade. He was equally convinced that stu- dents at the University of Kansas subscribing to Fie magazine were few in num- ber. Since this was the ex- ceptional type of feature which would probably not be printed again, he felt the student body of the University of Kansas de- served the opportunity to read it. First attempts for reprinting were unsuccess- ful. More than slightly dis- couraged, he went to the Jay hawker as a last resort. There the venture met with success. Here is the feature of the decade as originally printed in Fie: E.ST week Fie polled the University of Kansas, found that Joe and Jose- phine Oread tackle the ticklish dating problem energetically, limiting factor being the quan- tity of money resting in Joe ' s corduroys (Oread slang for britches). Surprisingly sustaining surmises, pitching was the topnoteh ranker in Fie ' s poll of stu- dent date activities. Meticulous masters of manuals frowned upon pitching; but sighing, sen- timental students voiced thumbs-up approval. Pitching is not restricted to hidden dells and wooded nooks. Public petting podiums are library steps. coke-houses, and theaters. Prissier, privater, prac- ticers slink furtively to intramural fields, Marvin Grove, or Memorial Sta- dium. Enterprising student sages suggest inclusion of a woo-fee in the activity book, with reserved racks in Memorial Stadium for steady spooners. Greek organizations ex- cite envy with designated specific spooning centers in their houses. Most mem- bers respect these zones religiously, and would-be Don Juans polish passion policies prolifically. CHRONIC contender for considerations is coking, Number 2 in the popularity poll. Between- class la pses of labor are usual coke-tryst times, with occasional convoca- tions offering additional (Phclo by John Yarnfll) opportunity to dally. Inexcusable infraction of dating etiquette would be failure to invite the evening ' s partner to have a coke. Mo- ments when life seems meaningless become brimming with bonadventure upon consump- tion of coke. Concurring closely with coking, are bridge bouts and juke-box jazz. Bridge battles bring benefits by averting attention from academic adventures while enabling enthusiasts to sharpen their minds. Occasionally such battles amuse also with verbal vitriol which follows blunders. Juke-box jazz brings joy to jiving jitter- bugs in spots where cokes are consumed, even though dancing is demoted to mere digit- dangling. Full to the brim with intelligence was the mental marvel who conceived the drop-a-nickel-in-the-slot music machine. And well has he been regarded. College children must have music, and consider a nickel well spent when dropped in a slot for jit ney jive. Third in rank is dancing. Dipping deeply delights devotees to that art in several ren- dezvous spots between cokes or after the show, while finer frolicking finds favor at varsities, mid-weeks, and class parties. Some dancers slide smoothly across the floor. Others, accen- tuating the anguish of their arches, jump, jive, jitter, jangle, and jabber rhythmically. Recent A.S.C.A.P., BMI vendetta, barring many old standbys from broadcast presen- tation, bring old Stephen Foster tunes to public prominence and indicate in the dance world a tempering of tempos which will soon find favor over the U.S.A. and bring a decrease in danger- ous dancing. FOUND fourth in favoritism was the picture show. Pic- torial presentation of panic, pas- sion, parties, politics and pugil- ists entertains students in masses on week-ends. During the week, attendance drops. Only the more hardy have heart enough to bang books onto desks in favor of the cinema. Final week works wonders, with watchers swamping shows every night - exact reversal of usual routine. Plain unvarnished steak-frying was relegated to fifth niche. Student voters at first voiced opinions placing steak-frying at the top of the heap; but when informed that pitching had been segregated to a separate section, hurriedly backed up on ballots and pushed pitching to the pedestal of priority. Seemingly a sizzling steak-fry, when considered a strictly culinary excursion, appeals but slightly to the student. Standard selected equipment for steak-fry (Continued on Page (Photo by John Yarnell) 218 THE JAYHAWKER by BETTY WEST . . . You loyal sons and daughters are digging deep into a new semester, but around the last of November weren ' t you all looking forward to two Thanksgivings, and putting mink coats and convertibles at the top of your Christ- mas lists? . . . On Nov. 26 the Sigma Nus talked turkey to their dates at a buffet supper at the chapter house with good old Bysom on the alto sax. . . . After Thanksgiving the Hill was docile enough until those gun-totin ' R.O.T.C. men held their ball in the Union ballroom with Scabbard and Blade initiation. . . . Saturday night, the 7th of December, the Thetas and Thetadates danced to Clay- ton Harbur in the ballroom of the Union, a well known amusement palace in these parts. The same night the Alpha Delta Pis and the Alpha Kappa Psis, business men to you, played in their chapter houses. Also on the town were the Phi Betas, Triangles, Kappa Eta Kappas, and the girls of Westminster Hall, who used Santa Glaus as a legitimate excuse for a party. . . . About this time, Tuesday the 10th, came Cradle Song, an epic of life behind cold, high walls, which gave student critics a chance to see how Kansas cuties look in the raiment of the Church. . . . The weekend of Friday, Dec. 13, stacked up a number of parties, all of which left a group of heavy party boys in a state of collapse on Sunday morning. Friday night the A.T.O. ' s, Battenfeld, Templin, and Carruth halls were only a few of the Yule-minded souls who held parties. High on the bill of fare was the Pi Phi gambol at the Union with Harbur tooting among Christmas trees with blue and silver touches for glamor. Still others were Sigma Kappa, I.S.A., and Ricker hall parties, all as good as gold. . . . Saturday night came and I.S.A. took up the torch again, while Pi. K.A. ' s danced to juke-box music at the chapter house. FEBRUARY 1941 219 . . . And now, kiddies, the scene changes. Remember the weekend of the 20th, when you were packing to go home, trying to take a quiz and catch the 12:50 all at the same time? Well, that was the day the Sig Alfs, the Betas and the Phi Psis polished up the old wassail bowl and gave their traditional Christmas dinner dances. The Betas and the Phi Psis dined and danced at home, while the Sig Alfs migrated to the Eldridge for their fun. . . . Sleeping until noon every day was fun, but it didn ' t bring that especially processed sheepskin any closer, so you were back at school with only the A.T.O. and Phi Delt buffet suppers on the 9th of January to bring you any comfort . . . and too, the Alpha Chi and D.U. parties that weekend. The Alpha Chis danced in the Union building, surrounded on all sides by blue and silver stars, to the music of Clayton Harbur, while the D.U. ' s danced at their chapter house in West Hills, out where the coyotes are coyotes and proud of it. . . . Saturday night of the same week the Kappas held their winter formal with Harbur on the Union ballroom bandstand. Decora- tions were strictly on the Stanley and Liv- ingston side with grass huts and darkest Africa touches. . . . The next weekend do pile up, don ' t they? . . . . Goodness, they was a sort of calm and sedate affair with only the band dinner dance in the Kansas room of the Union, and the I.S.A. party in the ballroom to mix things up. . . . From there on, the crystal ball is black with gloom, penny post cards, midnight oil, a few flunks . . . . . . But there ' s always a new semester, pro- viding you ' re still with us. On Thursday, Feb. 6, Phi Psis entertained at one of their inimitable buffet suppers at the chapter house, and on Friday the Sig Alfs and the Miller Hall lassies held beginning-of-the- semester parties. . . . Came Saturday and the Chi Omegas whistle for Mr. Harbur, to come play for their Valentine dance at the chapter house brought at Hill ' s worth of stags. The bath night of Feb. 15 saw Kappa Sigs, Delta Taus, and Sigma Nus shine, dine, and dance. The white star boys went Hi- Rickety in the Eldridge ballroom, while the Kappa Sigs in black and white cut the home rugs, and the Delta Taus entertained dates and convention delegates. Official hedge-hopping stopped with an- nouncement of the Sophomore Hop for Feb. 22 with Jan Savitt. Since then campus cuties and casanovas have been dragging their heels in preparation for the savory Savitt shuffle rhythm. . . .

Electrical Representative Mechanical Representative Chemical Representative Architectural Representative Petroleum Representative Mining Representative THE history of the Kansas School of Engi- neering dates from the year 1891, which saw the official founding of the school as a division separate from the College. Since that year, when the curriculum of the newly-established school consisted only of the civil and electrical department, numerous additions and improvements have been ef- fected. Under F. 0. Marvin, first dean, mechanical and chemical departments were added. Erection of Blake Hall, named for Prof. Lucien Blake, provided space for physics and electrical 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, architectural engineering was added and petroleum became a separate division in 1937. Representative government of the slip- stick sliders is carried out by a council of 14, including representatives of the seven depart- ments and the four classes in the school. Mem- bers are chosen in departmental and class elections. Responsibilities of the council in- clude the yearly Hobnail Hop and election of the Engineering Queen, sponsoring the engi- neering book exchange, the engineering ban- quets, and the annual Engineering Exposition. The Exposition is to be held twice this year, once during the week of the Kansas Relays, and once during the week of commencement. This event attracts the interest of many high school students and renders valuable pub- licity for the school. In general, the average engineer ' s working hours are spent battling diligently with 18 to 20 hours, with tedious laboratory schedules, and with long exacting technical reports.

Spicy bits are rather scarce this time of the year partly because no one has time to tend to other people ' s business, and partly because it wouldn ' t be nice to mention names connected with Miller ' s after finals. Anyway, finals brought about quite a few changes new people on the campus, some familiar faces gone through graduation and otherwise, and some fraternity and sorority freshmen buried even deeper in books trying to bring up their grades for spring initiation. One drastic effect of final week was when Delta Gam president, Mary McLeod, didn ' t like the way Bill Fey celebrated, or at least that was the way it seemed to be explained, so now words seldom pass between them. Jack Truehart and Barrel Mathes seem to be picking up where they left off last spring in Mary ' s affections, or is Art Shoaf trying to cut them both out? Now that Bob Orr, Phi Gam, is in dental college in Kansas City, Peggy Boberts will probably be spending more weekends at home. Dick Reid has also joined the ranks of bicuspid medicos, but it doesn ' t seem to bother his dating average with charming Alpha Chi, Beola Durand. Wonder how much Jean ' s dating young Henry Merritt, resident physician at the hospital, has to do with little sister Joanne Perry ' s presence on the front row of his class in personal and community health or so it is called. Speaking of doctors, lucky gal Greta Gibson has copped off another of the residents, Arnold Nothnagel, for sure. Annie Hoffman, Chi Omega, has joined the ranks of steady goers and is being seen every place with Phi Psi, Charles Ege. Jack Parker, the Phi Psi she went with last year, has dramatically willed his picture of her to the recent victor. It made a nice story when someone told a roving freshman that George Chester, Darrel Haines, and Chuck McGee, Phi Delts, have been squelched try- ing to date a certain three in the Sigma Kappa house. The Delta Gamma Colony has all odds for it if history repeats itself. The colony has taken the house for this semester in which both the Phi Delts and Phi Gams pioneered. Great dents in lots of gals ' dating averages came at the end of the semester when the sophomore medics graduated to the Kansas City branch, among them Mary Margaret Gray, who has been steadying with Nu Sig Bay O ' Brien, and Sue Johnston, Alpha Chi, seen frequently with Larry Calkins. After several hours ' work on a long, discussion final in which the questions were vague and ghastly, a fellow took advantage of the teacher ' s temporary absence to write on the blackboard: Discuss the Universe and give several examples. Noticeable loss to the Gamma Phi chapter was due to the Christmas time marriage of cute Janet Bohrer to Fred Wrightman, who, ' tis rumored, will live in Sabetha. Jeanne Anderson, Pi Phi, is not only Snookie to Swede Olsen, but is Mrs. Swede Olsen to Bill Horton, Sigma Chi of last year. Swede, by the way, refuses to comment. Claudine Scott blamed it all on Freddie Bobertson because she couldn ' t talk at the I.S.A. dance. Said he left her speechless. The hospital called it laryngitis. Buckshot Thomas is back at the Theta house this season, and in reverse to last year, he ' s dating roommates. Ti OR At ways Kansa ONi BE Si UNIO 6J!

Among other strange gifts from a mysterious fellow was some hard tack. Back in circulation Margie Reed, Theta, and Helen Heard and Muriel Henry, Chi Omegas. Heidi Vietz ' fluttering eyes seem to have found what they were looking for. Said eyes have had their effect on Dave Whitney, who finds it hard to concentrate in re- porting, since the orbs are directed his way fairly continuously. Betty West and Glee Smith aren ' t just like that any more. Glee had a jealous tantrum, and Betty decided she wanted to be her own boss a while longer. We ' ve never met: A girl who got to be a senior without boots, a snow suit, or snow shoes. A Phi Gam who wasn ' t better than everybody else or thought he was. Anybody who said How are you - and really gave a damn, anyway. Anybody who looks as much like Mortimer Snerd as Barrel Mathes unless it ' s Mortimer Snerd. A bridge player who thought anybody else could play better. An engineer without an honest- to-goodness down-to-earth look. A Fine Arts student who didn ' t look sloppy.

Each letter in every line of text matter was especially cast from molten metal to be used once, and once only. As soon as this maga- zine was printed, the type went back to the metal pot. This to insure that every letter-face shall be sharp and clean for easy read- ing and attractive appearance. For modern printing is more than a mere process of reproducing the written word ... it is an art; an art which involves science, skill, ex- perience and infinite patience. And it is as it should be. What is printed today becomes a perma- nent record of words you have written; drawings you have made; photographs you have developed, and pages you have conceived. Somewhere . . . sometime in the distant future . . . these pages will again be brought to light as an index to the culture of this age. Is it not best that they should speak well of your creation and our execution? McCormick-Armstrong Company PRINTING . LITHOGRAPHY ADVERTISING Wichita.

WHEN more seriously inclined, Oreadites turn to Hill activi- ties, attending concerts, lectures, athletic events, and dramas, oc- casionally. Some, striving for grades, find even library studying no gross handicap or hinderance to a date. Several closely crowding con- tenders for honors were discounted because of their transient natures. For example, slinging snowballs slyly at homeward-pacing profs showed signs of setting a whirl- wind pace in early ballots, but dropped almost out of sight as winter weather waned and warmer weather waxed. Likewise liquidated, were bob- sledding, skiing, and ice-skating. Other athletic entertainments maintained a steady ranking, al- ways near the bottom, with the exception of tandem bicycling. Undaunted by prospects of physi- cal effort , students stated staunchly that they preferred tandem cycling, that such cycling gave them a broad view of the basic nature of the world, starting at the bottom. 241 THE COVER for the 1940-1941 Jayhawker is a product of The DAVID J. MOLLOY PLANT The S. K. SMITH COMPANY 2857 Northwestern Ave. Chicago, Illinois Mount llrniil Abbey (Continued from Page 212) lured him over into the department of zoology. McClung was here from 1897 until 1912 when he left to become head of the department at the University of Pennsylvania. Research was his passion, and it is as a research scientist, and not as a teacher, that Dr. McClung will be longest remembered. Persons who remember him as he was on this campus describe him as a kindly scientist continually intent on his precious microscope and slides. In the science section of Oread Abbey, pay respects to the late Edward J. Slosson, founder and editor of Science Service, an or- ganization for presenting news of the scientific world to the layman. Slosson taught here in the depart- ment of chemistry until he accepted a position at the University of Wyoming. During World War I, he was called by the National Academy of Science to start Science Service. He is recognized as one of the greatest science writers of this country. H. G. Wells wrote him once saying, I only wish I had a tithe of the in- formation which you have. Far from completing the journey, pause again to investigate the local biographies of such men as Fred Wood, one of the nation ' s out- standing lawyers; Merle Thorpe, editor of Nation ' s Business; the late E. C. Franklin, at one time acknowledged as one of America ' s three greatest chemists: and the late Robert Kenneth Duncan, a chemist who founded the Mellon Institute. Many others have taught here, and been rewarded by their teach- ing in reaching exalte d places in their respective fields. The memory of these men in Oread Abbey has caused the entire intellectual world to watch Mount Oread. The men now gone have left with the Uni- versity a priceless heritage. Regret not the loss of such men. Their accomplishments more than justify their leaving. And the intangible bond of pride which they com- municate to the Hill, is the stu- dents ' reward.

This is the K. U. Memorial Union table tennis team (ping-pong), which will climax its first complete season with an attempt to bring home the bacon from the National Intercollegiate Tournament March 21-22. The team, consisting of 9 men and 4 women, is open to any stu- dent regularly enrolled in the University. Competition is keen, and many of the faster matches taking place daily in the recrea- tion room are between team mem- bers fighting it out for the coveted top positions. At the present writ- ing the members in their ranking order are: men Joe Davison, Bud Heiberg, Malcolm Black, Charles Ham, Perry Petterson, David Holmes, Glenn Mize, Ulysses Staebler and Jim Brockett; women Shirley Irwin, Norma Tibbets, Olivia Cole, and Ellen Irwin. The idea of a Memorial Union team was suggested last spring by Win Ferry, intramurals chairman, with a twofold purpose: to in- crease student interest in this popular sport; and to direct more attention to the Union as a campus center for entertainment and rec- reation. It was heartily approved by the Union Operating Committee and funds were appropriated to be applied toward equipment and transportation expenses. Team members assume the remainder of the expenses. Win then proceeded to organize a coeducational team from the semi-finalists of the spring tournament. In hurriedly-planned matches, the team defeated the University of Kansas City and dropped two close ones to the Topeka Table Tennis Association, one of the strongest clubs in the state. The short season was climaxed by competition in the Missouri Valley inter-city tournament, where Perry Petterson was awarded a gold medal for being the player with most promise, and of most value to his team. The 1941 season started with a bang when the Jayhawkers in- vaded Kansas City before Christ- mas to defeat K.C.U. In a return match at Lawrence, February 9, K. U. garnered 10 out of 11 matches. February 16, the team will attempt to tame the wildcats at Manhattan. Dates for two more home matches and one engage- ment at Topeka have been tenta- tively set for late February or early March. So if you have a yen to watch expert paddle swingers in action, drop around to the Kansas Room some Sunday afternoon for one of the scheduled matches. You won ' t be disappointed. It ' s a great team, and a great game. The team was practically a doorstep baby watch it grow to a thriving youngster! Cannon to the Bight, Cannon to the Left (Continued from Page 215) complete the Union Memorial building will leave a lot of blank space somewhere, so that our pictures won ' t cover some of those nice murals in the Union. The heroes of the last w r have their pictures on the wall and if we get into any entanglement now, there ' ll be plenty of new pictures framed and plastered up some- where and a new placque on the outside of Memorial Union. It might be our picture, and our name on the brass plate. Still, through all, we hope we are training for national defense the defense of America not the defense of something we know nothing about. In either case, how- ever, we are ready, thanks to K.U. and the government. We have received some training which can help in defending America. The rest is up to us.

The effect is beautiful. For the girl who prefers plain skirts Weaver ' s have all sorts of new ones in both plaid and plain styles. Sweaters are practically a col- lege girl ' s privilege and Joan Elliott has some luscious soft sweaters that would go nicely with the skirts just mentioned. Take away a college girl ' s right to wear sweaters and skirt and you prac- tically leave her naked. Moccasins, while conducive to flat feet, are still proving a campus favorite. Even during the slush and snow of winter, gals bravely tried to cross puddles in moccasins only to have the icy water invade the privacy of their shoes. Hats could be mentioned, but after viewing the latest issue of a fashion magazine the practical Hill woman begins to wonder if they ' re not trying to Blitzkrieg her into buying something she ' ll be sorry for later. Advice to the girl contemplating the purchase of a new bonnet is to wait until something better invades the field of feminine fashions.

The Pumpkin Prom was another feature of this committee. Along with the ghost walk, bobbing for apples, and eating popcorn from a string, a number of varsity foot- ball players who failed to make the trip to Villanova enlivened the party by passing pumpkins across their make-believe gridiron in the ballroom. At the Christmas open house a sprig of holly was presented to each visitor as the Union took this means of expressing a Merry Christmas to all students. The social activities committee is also planning to stage several Union nights. The first will be a penny carnival, a regular old-fashioned carnival with bingo, fishing in a pond, and possibly even a pretty girl to kiss (for a sum). Another feature attraction planned for this semester is an hour concert by the Modern Choir, now under the supervision of the Activities Board. The mid-week hour dances which are a regular presentation of this committee were supple- mented by several impromptu performances during the past semester. During the initiation days of Sigma Gamma Epsilon, the geology boys paraded through the ballroom in the midst of a dance and gave the Manual of Arms with their fire-tongs and other sundry equipment. The KU KU ' s also invaded the the sanctity of the mid-week by crashing the dance in a group after the 200-stag limit had been reached. The functions of the Activities Board have increased in each suc- ceeding year. The purpose now is to set up the Student Union as an independent operating unit, meeting all of its own expenses in- stead of receiving an annual allotment from the Kansas Union fund. Between 50 and 60 students work on these sub-committees and it is entirely a career service which they perform. No outward return is guaranteed and they move up the ladder to chairmanships only by dent of hard labor, actual inter- est shown, and true merit. With no pecuniary returns, honor and prestige are the sole reward. t6 ultra elegant! (or emerald cut diamonds. green orchids and amour! A HiUGHlY. P8UIOUS.

Then the job of the students was to diagnose the case. Finally after they had given their reasonings, Dr. Majors gave the correct infor- mation. Three cases were wheeled into the classroom for practical diagnosis by the hungry, weary medics. 1 p.m. From here, Jim and I went to the third floor of the main hospital where he kept his child patients. Each senior has about ten patients a semester to take care of. We visited children with all types of ailments from syphilis to liver and glandular disturbances. Then we hurried to meet Fred at the door of his class in Medical Diagnosis. As we left the building close to 2 o ' clock, both explained that the courses varied from day to day, as does our K. U. schedule. Some days, they visit the patho- logical building and study muscles and tissues after an autopsy. Many types of clinics, classes, and routines make up the daily schedule of the typical medical student, and it is difficult to dif- ferentiate between classes. But, all in all, young medics are getting a fine education with plenty of prac- tical experience. If you ever get a chance to fol- low a med student around for a day, jump at the chance. As the standing joke at the hospital goes, you will know the sophomores be- cause they carry their stethoscopes around their necks; the juniors be- cause they keep theirs in their pockets; and the seniors because they don ' t carry stethoscopes at all. Through a Coke Straw (Continued from Page 170) Down Ohio to the JAYHAWK cafe. In we go for some more hang- out observations. Bill Reed, Larry Smith and Scoot Sommers are reading some Jayhawk literature, while in another booth we find Annabelle Fisher and Chuck Elliot chatting over a 400. A. T. 0. Jit- terbug king Vincent Trump is getting a little quick service at the counter. Pat Patterson, Phi Gam, prefers the counter, too. The HAWK always looks like a Pan Hell convention plus gobs of independents. Paul and Willie are really kept busy yelling, One of the best, and Scrape one in the gravel. Jelly joint lingo keeps the customers guessing. Let ' s go down town and join the throng at WIEDEMANN ' S. It ' s sort of hard to see who ' s here through all the smoke and dark- ness, but in spite of cut-down vision you can feel sure the place is crowded. The Swanee River is really getting a workout. Every- one plays it. Charles Soller, Delt president, and Dolly Newlon seem to be enjoying it. Over there Bill Hertzler is knocking himself and Margie Oliver out with some poetry he has picked up in his many years of life ! Pril Adams and Dick Wilson are getting a kick out of dodging the high school jitterbugs. Now for the new upstairs addi- tion of the BLUE MILL. Cecil King and Eidson The Man are trying out the dance floor and look plenty pleased. Hobart Potter is having a big discussion with himself figuring out which piece on the nickelodeon will give him the most for his money. While he is deciding let ' s go to the DINE-A-MITE. Everyone is sitting around eating French fries between dances. Note what just happened on the dance floor. Yep, a collision. Sally Connell and Frank Bolin just ran into Ada Lee Fuller and Jason Yordy! Say you ' re hungry? How about dropping in for a hamburger and a cup of good DeLL ' XE coffee? For good food any time of the day, the DeLUXE can ' t be beat. Don ' t forget to come in Sunday night, too. You ' ll be pretty sure to run into Howard Rankin, Dan LaShelle, Vera Knoepker and her new Coffeyville fiance, Bob Stadler and almost anyone. That ' s life, I guess. Hate to rush off, but time flies to closing hours, so, so long jelly jointers. Tree Skeletons Ghosts of summer majesty they stand, Prey of wind, and ice, and sleet, and snow, Stripped of every covering and yet They are invincible. They grow Stronger through the suffering they bear, Toughened by the ravages they know. Dead they seem. There is no leaf to stir. But deep inside, life is surging high. Cold can not kill that urge. Nor can storm. With skinny arms outflung they only sigh, Waiting for new life that comes with Spring. Tree skeletons stark against the sky. J. A. 1025 Mass. UNIVERSITY SUPPLIES C ARTER ' S (Across Street from Granada) Phone 1051 FEBRUARY 1941 245 Man With a Spade (Continued from Page 179) can apply only to those who really want to learn. They must be self- disciplined, earnest, intelligent hu- man beings. The really significant thing the University is teaching the student today, as The Pioneer sees it, is to keep right on digging in on the everyday tasks in spite of the turmoil and confusion of the world outside. Because a man sits and ponders on whether this form of govern- ment or that form of government is right, or because he racks his brain to determine the course he wants to set for himself, because he is all tied up inside and feels disheartened and discouraged, that isn ' t reason enough for him to sit down in despair and wring his hands in loud lamentation about his lot in life. The big thing that our educa- tion system can teach University man or woman of today is to do as The Pioneer does to sit down at intervals and try to figure out what is going on around him, what the trend of events is, what is likely to happen in the near future, what action is necessary to meet the changing situation. The man or woman probably won ' t be able to see very far ahead. The whole thing may be blurred and mixed up. Neverthe- less, he can look around, get his bearings the best he can, make up his mind the course to follow. Then with youthful eyes on his work, he can pick up that spade and dig in the Kansas clay or the Missouri mud, or the Okla- homa loam. He can learn from The Pioneer. Oh God! with all thy might Canst thou not prolong this night? Canst thou not, with all thy power Prolong this one, this precious hour ? Enveloped in it my love of life : Free from anger, pain, or strife; Given this, in it I ' ll find Eternal peace for restless mind. Audrey The Triumph of I ' niH ' i mi Winter (Continued from Page 200) triumph. His fellows planned a great feast to honor Pooeyon Win- ter in his last dark eve of dicta- torship over them. They did go into a local tavern and command the keeper to bring to all the foods of hamburger prepared with the onion plant and the extract of mustard. Then they commanded that drink be brought. And all were merry. Later they slept, still in their garments. Lo! When they awoke the moon of February was over and a miracle had occurred on the mountain named Oread in far-away Kansas. The great, hideous giant of Winter was gone and Springa set on a throne of soft breezes on the Hill. The professors did speak gently in their halls of learning and some did even free the slaves of their classes a short time before the sound of the whistle. Verily, days did pass. Jonquils bloomed in the valleys. And lo! Lilacs perfumed the sides of the mountain. And the beauty of Springa, which was the beauty of the sun and the moon and the stars did diffuse gently over the land of Steak-fry. Then, the people who were yet filled with the tenderness of Springa did crown Pooeyon Winter as a great ruler and leader of the people. And he lived happily ever after, reclining on his couch, surrounded by books of learning, and deep in his cups of coca cola and lime. 383 WE CLEAN Everything you wear but your shoes LAWRENCE LAUNDRY DRY CLEANERS Have served K.U.

But while I am saying all this I am disturbing several guys in the room who want to study. They, too, agree that finals are not funny and they don ' t want me to be funny about it. They just want me to shut up. I hang up and go back to work. But I can ' t just quit so I sit down with these fel- lows to stare and think. I am still staring when I notice it is too quiet in the room and find out that everyone has gone to bed. That ' s when I really get worried. Maybe I should study for a while on that final. So I settle down in a chair and reach for my book. But the book is not there. I feel sick. I examine my tongue, and decide that I am just mentally sick. I am wise, however. Someone has taken the book out to study. I am not wise the next day when I take that final. The prof insists Omar Khayyam had no connection. I didn ' t write much of a final. I didn ' t write much for the editor. The prof and the editor are very angry with me. Omar was right. I can ' t write either the final or the article over now. There is nothing funny about finals. 246 THE JAYHAWKER A Word to the Wise (For Seniors Only) An Appointment NOW Will Save a Last Minute RUSH for Your Senior Picture The Photographer is Waiting To Take Your Picture for Class Space in the Commencement Issue of the JAYHAWKER THE PRICE IS $2.00 Make Your Reservations Now JAYHAWKER OFFICE .

' VI ' MIL 1911 251 WILL YOU PLEDGE? An actual fraternity of flyers exists that is unique among our national fraternities. It has no dues, no big shots, nor even a head man at a Monday night meeting. It ' s a democ- racy. This fraternity is the fraternity of private flyers and they are bound together by a common tie ... they love flying. Who is the private flyer? He is you, your roommate or the fellow next door who refuses to admit that you have to be something special to fly an airplane. He is multiplying like jack rabbits. He flies for the pure fun of it. He is ter- ribly proud of the fact that he can fly or that he enjoys flying. Also, he is the backbone of the future . . . the last frontier of aviation expansion. Military and commercial flying have slowed down to a fairly slow rate of evolution but private flying is only in its puberty. The approach of the day when private flying will come into its own in millions of American families (who already realize that they can fly an airplane and maybe own one) is being speeded by the debunking of the notion that all flyers must be professionals! Ernest Bevin, Britain ' s Minister of Labour, summed up the future of the private flyer in one sentence: If a college man can save us in a Spitfire, the same brain can be turned to produce a new world. In a world that will shortly be dominated economically and militarily by the airplane, our able flyer is the new man of destiny. ASHCRAFT BROS.

Ok, et t Haberdashers to Jayhawkers for Over 40 Years ESS A WEEK ago, thoughts of Easter bonnets and such stuff gave rise to thoughts of Dad and his bank roll and his charge ac- count. And so, if you had been par- ticularly nice to the old gent re- cently, don ' t be so hypocritical as to attribute it to a rise in filial de- votion just admit that it was the desire for a new spring en- semble. Maybe you got the glad rags, maybe you didn ' t. In case you didn ' t, Ober ' s has some Dobbs hats that are well worth a look-see next time you ' re downtown. Tan ' s the top color there. In fact it ' s tan all down the line hi sweaters, slacks, sox, and shoes. Some of the bright boys are suggesting that the tan-khaki vogue is the military influence creeping in. Maybe, however, you feel that you ' re going to see enough of the military attire in the next year or two. If so, now ' s the time to take one last splurge in another of the rainbow colors that make up the spring fashion palette. Sport jackets and slacks are not departing from the previously- mentioned tendencies in any notice- able degree. Worthy of a nod, nevertheless, are the lightweight corduroy slacks. If you ' ve been steering clear of cords because you don ' t like trousers that can stand alone, you might give these new ones a whirl. Ober ' s Loafer Jackets are something new but not too radical for campus wear. One last admonition it ' s not so much the clothes as it is the way that you wear them. So brush ' em up, keep the tell-tale grass- stains off, and you, too, can get your name in Phil McCarthy ' s column. On Your Week-End Trips to K.C.

THE average Hill man of 1941 can ' t remem- ber 1918. If he says he can, he ' s either a graduate stu- dent, some sort of heretofore undiscovered genius or a liar. But he knows about 1918 nearly as well as if he had been long past his rattle stage of existence at the time. He knows about 1918 from his history, his political science, his older friends ' conversations, and his late experiences in movie reel, radio, and newspaper propaganda. He knows about 1918 and, well frankly, 1918 turns his stomach. He ' s much more practical, much more calm, much more skeptical, and much more serious than his courageous, fool- ish, headstrong brother of 23 years ago. He knows that some fuller-brush moustached ex-painter and some million mechanized goose- steppers in Berlin have gone berserk and are forcing him into war. He guesses he will have to fight sooner or later. He realizes he will have to be conscripted in order to prepare himself for that fighting. He admits that if men who are supposedly competent to lead the nation from Washington intimate such an outcome, they should probably know. So, all right, he has to fight. He knows it. He is willing, but not eager. Here ' s where he differs from his brother of 23 years ago. Why do they, in the name of Zeus and St. Francis, and Abraham Lincoln, have to force propaganda on me? he asks. He hates the grand national pro-American advertising scheme that at- tempts to monopolize even his hours of danc- ing, reading, and recreation. He can see the cunning behind the same sort of nation- publicity that sent his brother of 23 years ago blindfolded into war without thinking twice. He goes into comparatively little inward or outward jubilation at the sight of his country ' s flag. He ' s getting somewhat tired of pictures of liberty bells and statues of liberty - - not because he isn ' t proud of his democracy ' s flag, bells, and statues. He wants to worship his country, protect his country, and if necessary, fight for his country. But he wants his sacrifice to come minus the artificial throat-jamming, too-obvious methods of propaganda that are being used. He wants his nation to depend upon him and to call upon him as an intelligent man, not as an adolescent fool to be played as a sucker for flowery drivel, stepped-up martial strains, and a khaki uniform. He wants his country to address him straightforwardly in factual language, not in vague terms. average Hill man of 1941 regrets the waste and the tragedy of 1918 yet he is a patriot. He stands ready - - but not excited. He goes calmly about his business of getting educated. He plans determinedly for a position which the world and its war may take from him. He loves his country, but he doesn ' t want the men who run his country to double-cross him. He wants war only if war is the only pos- sible solution. He wants a war that is for the interest of all the people, not for the fV . IN THIS issue we turn our editorial spotlight, 1000 watt, on men. Just to assure everyone of having some- thing to interest him, however, we have included general articles cover- ing nearly every subject from the University ' s 75th anniversary to steak-fries. Award for fresh, human, lively copy goes to Katherine Bueker, a new name in our magazine. In EARNING LEARNING, story of the working student, Katherine gives a new slant on the old subject of woiking one ' s way through college. For poetry of expression, we again refer you to Gray Dorsey. Gray ex- hibits a style in CALL IT NOT VENERABLE, which rivals that of last issue ' s MAN WITH A SPADE. Spice, humor, and fact-made-inter- esting may be found in the work of Jim Surface and Michael Stewart. Both men spent days digging in dusty files to produce OYSTER STEW TO COKES, and MAN ' S YEAR OF GLORY. In PHOTO FINISH, Bob Trump weaves as interesting a sport yarn as Webster ' s New International Dic- tionary would uphold. Also worthy of notice, Ben Hibbs gives advice to students who may go Atlantic-ward, in his fast-moving, sincere, straightforward article of excellence, IF YOU GO EAST. ' | 0 ALL of our photographers we raise our editorial top hat, but we bow especially gallantly to Maurice Jackson who quietly and aptly sup- plies illustrations for nearly every fea- ture story the magazine contains and all of the personality interviews. Don Fitzgerald is our artist of the month. There is real technique, humor, and a remarkable originality in his illustra- tion for CALL IT NOT VENERABLE. We give honorable mention to Heidi Viets, Art Wolf, Betsy Dodge, Margie Hagstrom, Ben Mantz, and Jimmy Dodderidge. As for the rest we have enough confidence in their work to feel apologies unnecessary.

A Record of Campus Life, Trends, and Personalities of 1940-41 IF IJOU. GO EAST by BEN HIBBS In the days of our grandfathers the tides ran west- ward. A new land beckoned, and the East sent its more adventurous young men and women to answer the call. Today the tide has been reversed. The West is still a land of opportunity for those who choose to stay, but it has become also a recruiting ground for eastern employers. The vigor and enthusiasm of the young westerner, his capacity for work, and the freshness of his viewpoint are commodities which the East is eager to buy. Twelve years ago I joined the eastward tide. Per- haps a good many of you now at K.U. also will find yourselves transplanted one day to the eastern work- shop; and it occurs to me that a couple of things I have learned might be of use to you. I suspect I was more belligerently midwestern than most of you who will read these words; yet to a greater or lesser degree my attitude of 12 years ago probably is fairly typical of many people who live west of the Mississippi. My conception of the East was a place inhabited pretty largely by stuffed shirts whose blood lines had run too thin. I believed that westerners were a superior race and that easterners were simply too smug to recognize this self-evident fact. But my sojourn in the East years, incidentally, in which I have traveled widely over the whole country has disabused me of sev- eral misbegotten notions. I have learned that every region has its quota of stuffed shirts; that you can find smugness, run-out human stock and ancestor worship in many parts of this land. The East has no monop- oly on the more unpleasant charac- teristics of the race. On the other hand, it does have its full share of intelligent, able, friendly people. If the westerner brings vigor and fresh ideas to the East, it is equally true that the East has much to give the westerner. For generations the East has been a reservoir of experience and skill in many lines of work. The educated easterner grows up knowing a good many things that we westerners don ' t know. Go into his country with a tolerant and inquiring mind, with a wholesome respect for his ability, and you can learn much from him. Living in the East has taught me also that it is unwise to make snap judgments about people. For example, I used to feel a deep distrust of anyone who, according to my own standards, was too polished, too glib. I quickly tagged that sort of fellow as artificial. In the East such characteristics may mean nothing at all; you must bide your time and see what lies beneath the veneer. Actually, I have now reached the point where I can look upon a Philadelphia waxed-end mustache without going berserk. There is much more in the same vein that might be said. But the thought I want to leave with you is to come east if life leads that way with pride in your western heritage, to be sure, but also with a measure of humility and an eagerness to learn. You ' ll be ribbed about Kansas. Let it roll off. You ' ll feel annoyance at certain customs and attitudes of thought in the East. Forget it. You ' ll be exposed to much that is new and worthwhile. Absorb it. And, above all, don ' t shed your western energy, your native idealism and your enthusiasm for life. For these are the qualities of mind and spirit which the East needs and wants from the West. . . .

Remember how important their visit was, and how hard you tried to impress them? H.R. Then Cock Robin came to the Campus and the mercury soared between the U.D.K. and the Depart- ment of speech. Maybe you were so intrigued by it all that you wouldn ' t ham missed the play for love or six carry-out hollies of Coca-Cola. H.R. Jan Satiifs band played for some inestimable number of hard-breathing swing-lovers a number which probably included you. if you uvre lucky, you perhaps secured a chance to shake the hand of the leader a la Marv Jo Cox. H.R. . -1 ' ' Then, in (he wake of popular dance music, came something along the same line but a little more serious. Orchestra concert seemed to fol- low orchestra concert. If you were a girl, per- haps you thought how pretty YOU could look behind a harp. H.R. Or maybe you look out your aesthetic sense by listening to Karl Krueger, who allows no corn to mar the perfec- tion of his Kansas City Philharmonic. If you keep a scrap book possibly you were among the group who patiently wailed back scenes and secured his auto- graph. H.R. Then, just for a little relaxation from art. you probably went on a geology field trip or some kind of a field trip. There ' s just something about early spring which inevi- tably brings out field-trippers. Fossils and rock strata monopolize the attention of these geologists. H. R.

If you ' d ever tooted a whistle, you per- haps found incentive to join a group of buddies for a little red-hoi jam. II. R. Meantime, you might have wandered toward Iloch auditorium to hear the Ballad for Ameri- cans and marvel at the range, depth, and qualify of K.U. ' s own Paul Robeson, Lorenzo Fuller, Fine Arts product. H.R. At lie same lime, in hushed conversations, feminine poli- ticians planned the W.S.G.A. election, checked and double checked each other on the counting of ballots, and finally reached conclusions which told you that Doris Twente would be next year ' s president. H.R. fo;, SENATORS TO Engineers began preparation for their big week which was lo culminate in a banquet and Hobnail Hop on March 14. As you stumbled on a crack in front of .Marvin, perhaps you saw between-class loafers mutter of some traditional anti-lawyer trick. H.R. Some slide-rule holster did take the initiative. As you wandered off Campus for that 2:30 coke on Friday, March III, you saw some of K. U. ' s mightiest engineers eating humble pie while they gave a gasoline, bath to a somewhat emerald Uncle Jimmy Green. H.R. By tradition, the Hobnail Hop must have a queen lo accept roses and aminiature slide rule. If you were a Hop altender, you saw Betty Coulson looking plenty thrilled over the posies being proferred by Tom Arbuckle. H.R. ' I ir iif i mm- I !f K. Then, by golly, days passed.

Anyway, two bits to a sack of popcorn, you found early April bringing romantic tendencies that were sooner or later to wind up in dale making over Mr. Bell ' s contri- bution to humanity. J. Y. One day. by gad, your winter saddles got loo hot for comfort, and if you didn ' t go wading, you probably wanted lo. Perhaps you even got optimistic enough lo send a special home asking Mom lo send your bathing suit. H.R. Being a very conscientious soul and realizing that you have just one chance for an education, you probably spent many templing pre-Kasler after- noons in the library. Possibly you decided Ihii ' l In- easiest way to absorb knowledge is lo sleepon it. II.R. You wenl lo classes regularly and if you happened lo be a few minutes late, it was entirely the fault of Hie whistle or the prof. You certainly would never admit that you had lingered loo long in the warm sun outside the building for a friendly conversation. H.R. You rejoiced in the beauty of April and maybe, more or less furtively, you look a whiff of one of spring ' s flowers, while the breezes played tag in your new twenty-five cent crew cut. Dean Ostrurn demon- strates a typical aggressive technique here. H.R. CALL IT NOT GRAY DORSEY THE University of Kansas is seventy-five years of age; but is it old? Some may sit in reverential awe and, gazing back through hazy memories, pronounce in fireside satis- faction that the alma mater is now hoary with tradi- tion is now a Venerable institution. We pray to the gods of the musical Wakarusa, who represent the beautiful lyric of Kansas, and to the gods of the raucous Kaw, who represent the sandy integrity of Kansas, that this institution may never be called Venerable. Venerable is an honorous term for an old man. Is the University old? Harvard is 305 years old, William and Mary is 248, Yale is 240, Princeton is 195, Washington and Lee is 192. The Sorbonne and other continental universities, whose histories date back to the days when some learned man gathered together a few intelligent followers under a cool oak tree, make America ' s oldest schools seem like young upstarts in tradition. The University will always be as young as the stu- dents who enter its doors as long as Kansas keeps its vitality as a sovereign state. Tl TEMORIES are the things we venerate Mem- -!-!- ories of our own experiences, or of other men ' s experiences conjured up for us by history. Memories are not a primary objective of the University, to lull us into lazy contemplation of past pleasures or into wishful backward thinking. Memories are, however, a pleasurable and inseparable by-product of life at the University often worthy of reverence. On an occasion such as the University ' s seventy-fifth birthday we -can profitably get out our stereoscope and look back into the picture-card past. FIRST CARD, August, 1854: A group of settlers gathers around the campfire on a windy promontory overlooking the place where the Kaw and the Wakarusa rivers join. (The territory was opened to settlers a little earlier in the same year, taken away from the APRIL 1911 263 i ' Picture-Card Past of a University With a Tiitute Kanza Indians who had stood on this commanding ridge and watched the streams of gold-mad emigrants pour west in ' 49.)

K SIXTH CARD, April, 1859: Wyandotte constitution, now the constitution of the State of Kansas, provides for state university as at present. September 12, 1866: the University of Kansas opens Us doors at North College with a student body of 55, a faculty of three. SEVENTH CARD, 1861, Washington, D.

EIGHTH CARD, 1861, Topeka: An act of the Kansas legislature placing the state university at Manhattan is vetoed by Gov. Charles Robinson a resident of Lawrence.

It was late, but the play had just let out and the Hawk was crowded. Allen pushed up his shirt sleeves and cleared a table. By the time he returned from taking the dishes to the kitchen a boy and girl were at the table. What will you have? He swished a rag across the table. Two cokes. A lime and a cherry. Shoot a pair. Right and left. The Nickelo- deon was blaring so loudly he had to scream his order. (Now let ' s see, he thought, what was that law? The volume of a fixed mass of given gas . . .) What? Another coke. Sure. Shoot one. (If you double the volume . . .) Oh, hello, Jim. What ' ll you have? A cup of coffee, and make it black. I ' ve got a lot of studying to do tonight. Jim leaned back in the booth. Pour one black. Allen called in the order and then came back to lean wearily against the side of the booth. About ready for the quiz? But wherever they are, or whatever they do, they all complain of one thing: A twenty-four hour day isn ' t long enough. Not yet, and from the looks of the crowd, I won ' t get out of here until 2 o ' clock. Allen went back to the foun- tain and stood talking to Bill. Doesn ' t look as if we ' ll get out of here tonight. And I have a chem quiz tomorrow. ' You ' re not alone, Bill scowled. I ' ve got a report that will take me the rest of the night to finish. And I only slept four hours last night. -x- SOME students work on N.Y.A. Jane hadn ' t known whether to laugh or cry when she got the letter from the C.S.E.P. office telling her she had been granted a ten dollar a month job. But if she hadn ' t got the job she would never have been able to come to school, so she was grateful. Still something in her protested, I want to be hired because there is a job to be done, and I can do it; not because I need the work. So here she was grading achievement tests that had been given to the Lawrence high school students. It was simple. All you did was lay the grading key parallel with the questions and check off the right numbers. Most of the time you didn ' t even have to read the questions. It was monotonous, though, af- ter the first hundred papers; and she sighed as she picked up another test and turned to the English punctuation section. The door slammed and Jack came in. Hello, want some more tests? He threw a bundle of papers on the table. No thank you. Where have you been? Down at Lincoln giving these. He broke the string that bound the papers. It ' s a lot more fun than sitting here grading papers. Has any one else been in this morning? Not yet. Jane tipped her chair back. Why do all of these jobs have to be so dull? They ' re not. I know a girl who is illus- trating a book, and another who is working as a technician in the hospital.

HAPLESS MM 1 1 lilt GOES ON A Slory by Art Wolf and Ken Lewis TTAH, says Hector, swinging an eager nostril, South wind, cumuli, buds budding. ' In the spring a livelier iris gleams upon the burnished dove. ' What, yes indeed, what is so rare . . .? Obviously Hector is all wet. In matters concerning steak fries, nothing can be rarer than the steak. It is so rare as to be non-existent. In fact, All is impedimenti Except spiritus frumenti Which, outwardly, can have no connection with a Hill Steak-fry. (Photos by Art Wolf) However, The cognomen Doesn ' t fool the abdomen. Hector, having survived the rigorous winter, gets all set for the happy life that is spring. Throughout the cold months he has been inspecting practically everything that looks like a female and making mental notes. At the first sign of the crocus, Hector is hot on the telephone getting fixed up for the in- evitable. After several tries, he succeeds in lining up a good steak fry date. She ' s not long on looks, but what a personality!!! The frail and Hector lake out for a lake in the country. She tells Hector to look at the lake, and isn ' t il romantic? Being entirely in the spirit of the occasion. Hector admits it ' s romantic and star a looking for a place to sit. The man in him objects to carrying a basket. As things progress, it begins to look as if there should be a fire. There are always fires on steak fries. So Hector pulls out an ax and begins hacking at a tree. lie hacks himself into a frenzy and chops off the toe of his shoe, as the li tle woman sits on her indignity. Hapless returns home before the moon comes up. He is slightly smeared and shaken, but smiling. He has survived the first ordeal. Now he understands steak-fry conduct perfectly. He borrows The Elements of Juijilsu from the library and takes it with him as he heads for a hamburger. A steak-fry, he decides, really leaves a guy hungry. At last the two ham sandwiches and the cokes have been dumped out of the basket onto the blanket which Hapless Hector has filched from his roommate ' s bed. The little woman spies a cow which looks as if il has a soul, she says. This means that the coke angle hasn ' t been a success, so Hector must argue with the cow. The little woman eventually gels used to her coke. After the formality of eating, Hector decides to lake a nap. But the frail awakens him gently by marking his lender and frightened face with ten cent lipstick. She says she hopes that will hold him. Hector is more lhan satisfied. Mu-lkioom SOCIETY by JIM DODDERIDGE (Photos by Maurice Jackson) YOUR years ago a group of ambi- tious students banded together to obtain a more varied social life for independent students. To this sincere little group, but in particu- lar to a far-sighted Susan Maloney, may be traced the germ of the I.S.A., the Independent Student Association. Right here is the place to pause and ponder what the heck the sit- uation looked like to the neutral observer of 1937, to one familiar with pre-I.S.A. events but un- familiar with post-I.S.A.sia. For example, Bob Pearson opened his The Jayhawker Looks At ... column that year with the following remarks on clubs, The number of clubs that have sprung up on the Hill just since school started has reached aston- ishing proportions. We predict that soon the subdivision will be no end confusing. First of all there are two great divisionsof Hill students; namely, the organized students and the unor- ganized students. And then of course the or- ganized group is subdivided into a good many fraternities and sororities ... WAS that indicative? How would John Student feel if he were unorganized back in the fall of ' 37 and read that in the first Jay- hawker of the school year? If he had any savoir faire, he ' d do something about it. In the Daily Kansan, Nov. 10, 1937: A meeting was held last night of students inter- ested in the formation of a social organization for independent students. The purposes of the organization, which has not yet been fully organized, are to find social contacts for inde- pendent students and an opportunity to attend social functions along the lines of those given by the organized houses ... They planned a style show for co-educating I.S.A.-ers From that moment, the idea of I.S.A. mushroomed among interested undergraduates. Susan Maloney and Leon Reynolds were chosen to head a bicameral, women-men execu- tive organization. The first hour dance was sponsored in the Memorial Union lounge with an attendance of 300. The name Independent Student Union was chosen. Homecoming floats and queen were considered. Enthusiastic independents explored the mysteries of the Big Apple under the sponsorship of the new Union, which consisted of about 20 persons, less than one per cent of the unaffiliated students. Why only one per cent? Evidently, others wondered why --but here ' s how Harry Hill told the story in this publication in the spring of ' 39: When classes reopened last fall after the summer vacation, Miss Maloney still was president of the group, but new faces in- cluding that of Chuck Alexander had been added to the local I.S.A. council. Near the end of the first semester, the council became dissatisfied with Miss Maloney ' s services, told her bluntly one January after- noon she had been removed. Susan protested APRIL 1941 269 the requested resignation and the affair devel- oped into a personal fight between her and Alexander, with the latter playing the role of Ethiopian in the wood pile. As a result, a mass meeting attended by nearly 500 un- affiliated students chose Louis Fockele as their new president, and also selected a new council. The Daily Kansan, which had nothing to gain by backing any faction, sponsored Fockele ' s candidacy. J3EOPLE and social trends, not dates and - - facts, are the history of the I.S.A. Facts are simple. It is the clash of ambitions, the personal quarrels enveloped in the mystery of half-truths, that make the I.S.A. interesting to those most concerned with its progress. What is the I.S.A.? It is an organization that really began with the mass meeting and mass enthusiasm that elected Louis Fockele president in the spring of 1939. A society that in two months time increased its membership fifteen- fold and successfully conducted a national convention of independent students. A group that within two years organized independent intramurals, districted independent houses, and inaugurated a series of weekly dances for, by, and of previously unorganized college students. An association that organized itself under a central council of ten members; eight of whom are direct representatives of the I.S.A. districts, one a titular head, and one a recognized head of whatever minority is de- feated in the election of council. To rephrase Montaigne, ambition is not a vice of small organizations. T | VHE present council has done things. Much -- more ambitious are the things they plan to do. They have put out a small newspaper, JayTalk, for their members. Mary Jean Hull planned a style show for the co-educating I.S.A.-ers. Fred promises two dances of more general interest this spring. The association wants a central office of its own, preferably in the Union Building, instead of the made- room-for desk in Dean Werner ' s office. The first of next year, I.S.A. will want hour dances held in organized houses similar to fraternity- sorority hour dances. The Independent Student has life as his inalienable right as long as it lasts. He has liberty under the student government. He has pursuit of happiness if I.S.A. carries out its most essential function. Fred Robertson ' s Present I.S.A. Council includes: Donn Mosser, Howard Sells. Mary Jean Hull, Dorothy May, Jane Lorirner, C audine Scott, Jack Chester, Orville Krelzmeier and Bill llogle. 270 THE JAYHAWKER INTRODUCTION CHUNG-HSIANG PAN CHUNG-HSIANG PAN has seen the war in China first hand. As a research worker for the Geological Survey of the province of Sechuan, which has its offices near Chungking, he has looked skyward many times to see Japanese bombers roar overhead before running for shelter with the shriek of falling bombs in his ears. He had been at this post two years before coming to the United States. Chung came to the University last September to study petroleum geology on a fellowship granted him by the China Foundation for the Promotion of Culture and Science. After Chung was graduated from the National Uni- versity of Peking in 1931, he worked for the National Geological Survey of China specializing in petroleum geology research. He hopes to prepare himself to do his part in reconstructing China after the war. This year brought Chung ' s first visit to the United States where he likes K.U. and Kansas very much. It ' s so flat compared to China, he says. The English he had learned in school helped him to catch on quickly in learning to converse with Americans. Only occa- sionally now he complains that his lectures get a little too fast to follow. Maurice Jackson IMI I If DORIS JARROE GET Jarboe! That ' s the usual conclusion when someone versed in terpsichorean art is wanted to entertain. Dancing and business may be a funny com- bination, but they are the choices of Billie Doris Jarboe, junior in the School of Business. This bundle of energy, who has directed the Chi Omega social activities during the past year, began dancing so long ago that she can ' t remember. She wowed the audience with her solo number in Sing and Swing last year. Then, in addition to dancing, she became a member of Tau Sigma and Phi Chi Theta, honorary business sorority.

An accounting major in the business school, Don has been called by Uncle Sam for a year of active duty as second lieutenant in the army. Mort has made the Dean ' s honor roll every semester since he entered school. In addition he has found time to be president of Delta Sigma Pi, busi- ness fraternity; vice-president of Sigma Nu; chair- man of his county club; freshman counselor; business assistant for the Sour Owl; and representative for Sigma Nu on the Men ' s Interfraternity Council. Tall, dark Morton ' s pet peeve is to have people tell him what a soft job is that of a class officer. He says he ' d like to have such cynics try to supervise the commencement activities of a senior class and then hear their opinions. If his year in the army is not stretched into three or four, Don plans to return to the University for a law degree.

An ability to analyze commonplace problems and carry out his decision has made him success- ful in his numerous Hill activities. As business manager of the Jayhawker magazine last year, this first year lawyer made one of the most successful financial records of recent years. An equal amount of diligence as student corres- pondent, freshman counselor, county club chair- man, and P.S.G.L. politician, along with superior scholastic work, has merited him the honors of Owl Society and Sachem. After finishing law school here, Chad would like nothing better than to hang out his shingle in his home town of Abilene, where he believes people have the least tendency toward the sophistication and insincerity which he dislikes. Reading, with a preference toward biography and history, occupies what time he can spare from his law studies and his duties as Beta president. Fred Eberhardi 274 01m FOR AIMA MATER by DEAN SIMS TT ' S just logic that you can ' t take it with you ! This must have been the thought when, in 1893, the State of Kansas issued a charter to the University of Kansas Endowment Asso- ciation with the power to receive and hold in trust any property, real and personal, given, devised, bequeathed, given in trust or in any other way made over to the said Corporation for the use or benefit of the University of Kansas , etc. As in the case of nearly every university, K.U. needs ample money power to progress, to expand, and to maintain its high position among the major institutions of the coun- try. There are always new buildings to be built, new subjects that should be taught, more funds needed for research work, and a hundred other monetary outlets. At present, the state legislature provides four- fifths of the money spent each year by this Univer- sity in its maintenance, which is much more than the University founders had planned for in the original set-up. But, it is doubtful that the legislature can be expected to continue such a large outlay of money each year, with all due respect and gratitude toward the State. Even with this aid, a certain amount of money must come from private benefactors who have been, in the past, more than generous in their Olin Templin has a dream THE JAYHAWKER gifts. Alumni and university patrons have often provided what the State can not afford. A ID given to the University need not neces- - ' - sarily be given to the Endowment Asso- ciation for administration. In past years how- ever, many donors have felt that the Associa- tion would make sure that their wishes, as to the allocation of their endowments, would be more fully carried out. The primary duty of the Endowment Organization is to see that the wishes of the contributor are preformed to the fullest degree. ' TMIIS endowment does not, at all, have to - - be in the form of actual money ; therefore, contributions of buildings, lands, and equip- ment of various types, are welcomed by the Association. Nor must the individual wait un- til after his death to leave the endowment by will. Many endowments of the past have been from persons who, feeling that they had accumu- lated more than enough to keep them quite secure for the rest of their lives, decided to cash in on the pleasure of seeing good done in their name - instead of letting their descendants get all the kick out of it. One of the latter was Mr. Solon Summerfield who, in 1929, made pro- vision for an annual gift to the University of $20,000 to be used in pay- ing the University ex- penses of boys deserving of education, but with limited means. His en- dowment is known as the Summerfield Scholar- ship award. Each year about 65 boys are Seen through that year ' s schooling by the fund. The position of executive secretary of the Association is aptly filled by Professor Olin Templin, who has been connected with K.U. in various official capacities for more than half a century.

A. A. Play-offs by BOB TRUMP (Photos by Hal Branlne) CONFERENCE champions for the second year in succession, although forced on both occasions to share the honor with other teams, Phog Allen and his Jay hawk bas- keteers hung up their crimson and blue warm- ups for the last time this season following their March 11 victory over Oklahoma A. and M. Meanwhile died-in-the-wool court fans imme- diately began prophesying even bigger and better things for next winter. The self-appointed soothsayers spoke not without reason, for ready to move into the positions vacated by departing seniors are Ray Evans, George Phillips, Don Ettinger, Charley Black, Paul Turner, Jack Ballard, Max Kissell and other members of what the wily Kansas coach himself calls the best freshman team in 20 years. Of course, Allen hardly is expected to find an equal for All-American Howard Rope Engleman, whose sensational scoring exploits made him the most talked-of player in the Midlands and gained him an all-time Big Six scoring record of 16.5 points a game. Or for his own son Bobbie, whose excellent general- ship knit together the frayed edges of many a ragged Jayhawk team and spun many a stir- ring victory during his three-year career. In addition to Engleman and Allen, both of whom were unanimous choices for the Big Six all-star team, Kansas will lose Big Johnny Kline, second team guard on the conference all-stars this year, and Ed Hall, Norman Sanneman, and Jim Arnold, all of whom had their part in bringing another championship to Mount Oread. But when Coach Allen blows his whistle for the first practice next season, he will be greeted by this year ' s excellent freshman team ? m Above: The Jayhawks emerged Feb. 25 with an overtime 50-45 verdict over Jack Gardner ' s Kansas Stale Wildcats.

THE Jayhawks roared into the second half of their schedule Feb. 3 with a convincing 54 to 39 victory over the Wichita Shockers with Engleman adding 24 points to his scor- ing total. One week later, before a capacity crowd of 3,500 in Hoch auditorium, the spectacular Kansas forward converted Nebraska ' s vaunted guard combination of Don Fitz and Sid Held into a pair of human sieves as he collected 22 points while the Jayhawks were flying into first place through their 44 to 38 conquest of the Cornhuskers. Harvey Pate, Henry Iba ' s senior guard, spent most of his basketball career in com- parative obscurity, but for one day, Feb. 18, his name was on the lips of sports fans through- out the Middle West. The night before Pate had accomplished the almost impossible task of holding Engleman to a total of 3 points - all free throws, as Oklahoma A. and M. edged past the Kansans 30 to 26 at Stillwater. With Quarterback Bobbie Allen functioning at near maximum efficiency and sophomore Vance Hall displaying an outstanding all around performance, the Jayhawks took an- other step along the road to the championship Feb. 21, and at the same time cracked a two- year losing streak on the Columbia floor by defeating the Missouri Tigers 35 to 24. In a game replete with excitement and thrills, not the least of which was the 17-point scoring spree enjoyed by the two supposedly non-scoring Kansas guards, John Kline and Marvin Sollenberger, the Jayhawks emerged Feb. 25 with an overtime 50 to 45 verdict over Jack Gardner ' s Kansas State Wildcats. Less than 30 seconds remained to play when Kansas State led 41 to 39, and everyone but the Jayhawks themselves were conceding the greatest upset of the Big Six season to the men from Manhattan. But Allen intercepted (Continued on Page 330) (Photo by Hal Branlne) One of the leading tennis contenders is Bob Trump, transfer from Ottawa University where he was No. 1 Man. WW7 E ' RE not big leaguers and we don ' t in- tend to give that impression. We ' re going to play for the fun of it and make baseball a sport of which K.U. can be justly proud. This characteristic statement came from Dr. F. C. Phog Allen, newly-appointed baseball coach at the University and noted producer of winning athletic aggregations. After 15 years of dormant baseball at K.U., the way now seems clear for a revival of inter- est which could lead to a first-division con- tender in the near future. Added interest is not merely talk or myth, but an honest-to-gosh fact. When March settled down temporarily after her lionish (Photo by Hal Hranine) BATS, CLUBS, by CHUCK ELLIOTT birth, Phog issued his first call for all those interested in playing baseball this season. He wasn ' t expecting too much, maybe 25 men at the most. But what happened! Nearly 60 men reported for the first meeting. As Phog puts it, Kansas is a good base- ball school and I know doggone well that we have baseball players here. All it takes is a little interest to bring them out and then we ' ll have a fighting ball club. It ' s going to be a beat-back game for us because baseball was certainly at a low ebb here. But with lots of hustle and not too much inside baseball we hope to get the University behind us. r TM[IS year ' s roster is unusual in many - - respects. Two of the best players eligible to return from last year ' s team, Captain Larry Hensley and Miller Cameron, have left school. Only one member of this year ' s squad, Knute Kresie, was considered a regular during the entire season of last year. Furthermore, there is only one pitcher on the squad who throws left-handed. Bill Atwell, an untried sophomore who is apt to be wild. Also there are only two batters on the first squad who bat from the port-side of the plate, Steve Meade, lone left-handed first-baseman but with an inability to hit a curve ball, and T. P. Hunter, varsity basketball ace whose APRIL 1941 279 . . . Instruments for Another Season of High Varsity Hopes ability might crash the starting line-up either in the infield or outfield. A quick glance over the starting line-up would indicate a green, inexperienced team with limited possibilities. Perhaps the most limiting factor is the pitching corps. Only two first-rate pitchers are available to bring the team through a badly-arranged schedule which calls for six games in nine days at one stretch and four games in five days at another. Bob Allen and Kresie are the two top twirl- ers and both are good all-round players. Coach Allen remarked, We have such a dearth of outstanding material that we ' ll probably have to play Kresie or Allen in the regular line-up. Either can play any position on the field ex- cept catcher. Other moundsmen working out are John Burge, who should have benefited from his experience last year; Atwell, who ' s left-handed slants may be needed against port-side batting opposition; and Larry Smith, an unknown as yet. The back-stopping position will be well forti- fied this year with Ed Hall, three-sport star and regular catcher of two years ago, doing the receiving. Dick Pierce, slight-built soph- omore, will understudy Hall. THIRST-BASE is the biggest question-mark - - on the team. Allen Nipper is ahead of Meade for the job, but both will probably be overshadowed by Kresie and Allen if the pitchers are capable of maintaining their dual- role pace. Nipper has a weakness for curved balls and a tendency to tie-up during actual games. Al Chief Wabaunsee, little Indian who is good field-fair hit and an ideal lead-off man, will cover second base with Virgil Wise a step behind in ability. Tall Bob Holmer is the leading candidate to ' hold down the hot corner spot with Dorus Munsinger a third-base replacement. The ace of the infield should be Johnny Krum who is a great fielder but not too heavy a hitter. There are several rivals for this short- stop job with Elmo Maiden, Delmar Green, and G. D. Dean looking the best in practice. The outfield is rather a speculative pro- cedure with half-a-dozen men being on deck to shuffle the line-up. Ramie Beims should be a fixture in center field, being a capable gar- (Pholo by Hal Ruppenthal) Only one member of this year ' s squad, Knute Kresie, was considered a regular during the entire season of last year. dener and one of the best hitters on the team. Flanking Beims with men of his own calibre should be quite difficult. Larry Johnston has shown promise in left field and Louis Red Thompson, utility substitute of last year, might find regular employment in right field. Hunter is the most likely prospect to crash the foregoing outfield. Sammy Lowe, John Burge, and Eugene Alford are other out- field hopefuls.

Last year the Fijis were victorious over Alpha Kappa Psi in a similar manner, chalk- ing up wins by scores of 30-29 and 36-32. During the regular season, the Phi Gams ran off the Division II championship with a record of nine wins against one loss, a full game ahead of the Sigma Chis, Betas, and Pi K.A. ' s. The Sigma Chi, Betas, and Pi K.A. teams finished in a three-way tie in second place with eight triumphs and two losses each. The Phi Gam line-up made up of Chain Healy, Larry McSpadden, Harold Long, Wally Hinshaw, and Roscoe Hambric suffered their lone defeat of the year at the hands of Sigma Chi by a score of 25 to 24. Incidentally, the Phi Gams have lost only two games in the last 28 games over a two-year period, both losses to the Sigma Chis. Division I found three teams, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Phi Kappa Psi, and Delta Chi dead- locked on the top rung. In the division play- off, the Phi Psis defeated Delta Chi 40 to 20 and the Sig Alphs 29 to 28 for the title cup. The two Newman club teams, I and II, were unbeaten during the regular schedule with 10 victories apiece, tieing for the Division III championship. First round play-off games found the Betas whipping the Sig Alphs 34 to 25 while New- man II downed Delta Chi 44 to 24. Quarter final play resulted as follows: Newman I 23, Sigma Chi 22; Phi Gams 41, Phi Psi 32; Betas 24, Pi K.A. 17; Hellhounds 37, Newman II 22. Newman I and the Phi Gams came through their semi-final matches as expected with the (Photo by Hal liranim) A great Phi Gamma Delta intramural basketball team won the cage championship for the second consecutive season by downing Newman I in two straight contests. Newmans winning from the Betas 30 to 19 and the Hellhounds falling before a superior Fiji five 37 to 28. The final two out of three series found the Phi Gams at their best, triumphing 46 to 38 and 31 to 25. IN THE B team finals, Sigma Chi B, led by Jack Wilson and Jim Moore, edged out Phi Psi B in a thriller, 26 to 25. The C team title went to Phi Delia Theta C who won from Beta C in the finals 17 to 11. After much contemplation, an intramural all-star was picked by the Daily Kansan ? s intramural reporter, the positions being awarded on meritorious play during the season and the playoffs. The first and second team selections are given in the box. Standout forwards were Joe Fournier and Ed Vandaveer, Newman I ; Bill Geiger, Beta ; Roscoe Hambric and Larry McSpadden, Phi Gams; Bill Hyer, Sigma Chi; Elmo Maiden, Newman II; and Bill Hodge, Phi Psi.

The finals in the women ' s intramural swimming program were held before a wildly cheering capacity crowd in the Robinson Gymnasium swimming pool. Girls from various organized teams quali- fied for the finals in two division meets held the previous week. On the night of the finals history was made. Kappa Kappa Gamma won the meet for the first time in six years. Since 1931, Pi Beta Phi had walked away year by year with this annual, most exciting event. Kappa Alpha Theta was second this year with 20 points, Chi Omega and Pi Phi third and fourth with 12 and one-half and 12 points respectively. The Gower victors gathered points in almost every event to gain a total of 47 points, 27 points ahead of their nearest rivals. Peggy Davis, Kappa Alpha Theta mermaid, broke an all-time K.U. record in the breast stroke contest. Her time was 27 and two-tenths seconds, two-tenths of a second better than the record set in 1930 by Lillian Peterson. Two newcomers on the Hill this year, Lura Smith, Kappa, and Peggy Davis, Theta, ap- peared to be the out- standing swimmers of the meet. They both showed perfection of form in diving, in the various styles of swim- ming, and in speediness. Honorable mention goes to Jean Wilkins, Gamma Phi Beta, Billie Mclntyre, Kappa, and Mary Lou Randall, Chi Omega. E.ST month Corbin Hall girls became Hill basketball champions when they defeated Watkins Hall 32 to 33. The margin of victory was uncomfortably close, but Corbin was the champ for 1941. No team could stop the sex- tette which included Lenora Grizzell, f. ; Mil- dred Wells, f . ; Phyllis Struble, f. ; Jane Coch- rane, g. ; Alta Bingham, g. ; and Ellen Fultz, g. Outstanding in consistently leading their team to victory were Grizzell and Wells, the basket-getters, and Bingham, an unsurpass- able guard. Watkins Hall can well be proud of Helen Wilson, Lulu Chamberlain, Mary Ellen Grif- fiths, Justine Peterson, Althea Shuss, and Dorothy McGinnis.

Since he started teaching at the University 25 years ago, he has made three trips abroad for the study of botany in 1929 at the Royal College of Science in London and the Botanical Institute at Hamburg; in 1935 to travel and collect specimens in England, Norway, and Sweden; and in 1939 he was working at the Botanical Museum in Stockholm until the war forced him to come home. Chairman of the botany department since 1931, this jovial professor is interested primarily in expand- ing his department in the general direction of Uni- versity service. He wants to make botany interesting and helpful to students in all other departments.

Because these men have such important jobs to make life easier, it is necessary that they have experi- mental laboratories and good equipment. Recognizing that Kansas needs expert engi- neers to manage her fresh water supply, and realizing that untold wealth in minerals lies under her sod, state legislators recently appro- priated money to build a new Mineral Industry building. The building and equipment will cost $396,500 and will be built just west of the present engineering building. FROM THE STATE 7i t THE STATE by LILLIAN R. FISHER Five units of the University that are now scattered among three buildings on the campus will be housed in the new research building. They are: the department of geology, the State Geological Survey, and the departments of petroleum engineering, chemical engineering, and mining and metallurgical engineering. The new building will provide a common library for these five departments, and thus greatly facilitate the usefulness of current technical literature. Every division of these five departments will be better coordinated in the new building, and materials will no longer be scattered in Ha- worth hall, basement of Hoch auditorium, and the mechanical laboratories of the engineering building. The fire risk, which at present is extremely high due to the numerous experi- ments performed under such crowded condi- tions, will be abolished. Not just students - but the whole state of Kansas will be aided by the construction of the new mineral indus- tries research building.

The next night, Friday, the Union ballroom echoed with the lusty cheers of Hill women having a good time at the Puff Pant Prom and scaring the waiters in the Union fountain. The same night Watkins Hall went all-out for patriotism with red, white, and blue deco- rations. Their formal party was at the Hall with Harbur on the beat.

(Pholos by Hal Ruppenlhal) Wednesday of the next week, when engineers pondered upon their Queen for the present fiscal year. Balloting finally gave the honor to Betty Coulson, Gamma Phi Beta, at the Hobnail Hop, Friday the 14th. The Phi Delt Mess on Saturday of the weekend gave Kansas bible-belters chance to see the inside of an honest-to-goodness blue and silver night club complete with bar erected especially for the occasion. The men of Battenfeld, Carruth and Templin gave a sort of wandering party the same night with much visiting among houses to see if anyone could swipe a few refreshments on the side. USHERING in the first scavenger hunt, Phi Psi freshmen and their dates spent a hectic Saturday night chasing needles in haystacks. The following Tuesday, which might be March 18, D.U. ' s played hosts to Hill women. Buffet supper at the chapter house included music a la victrola. Friday, with spring leering around the corner, brought the I.S.A. varsity in the Union ballroom with Harbur as musicman. On Saturday the A. D. Pi ' s called the stags upstairs for their spring formal. It was along about this time that all the sound and fury about Dandelion Day monopolized the Hill. Sand- wiched in was a Kappa Sigma buffet supper the Thursday night of March 20. Sigs and their dates danced to the after-dinner tremolos of Harbur. On Friday, more dandelion business with a Dan- delion Varsity sans any dandelion wine in the Memorial Union ballroom. Harbur and Bysom eagle-eyed each other across the ballroom floor as they took turns at amusing the customers. ON Saturday the Sigma Chis shot the moon at their annual Masque, to which their guests came dressed as characters trying to get into Hell ... an elementary matter. On Saturday, April 5, Gamma Phis entertained more than 50 delegates, 50 alumnae members, and other sorority representatives at a Province Confer- ence Carnation Banquet in the Union building. Cres- cent dates waxed impatient, corsage boxes in hand, until 9 :30 when the Gamma Phi spring formal party was doomed to begin. Junior Prom vacillation finally settled down to a monday night, April 7, rendered sublime with Bob Crosby, and less sublime by the prospect of classes on Tuesday. All of which reminds us that Early to bed and early to rise makes a man socially dead. gave pete Tk MM on 7k 288 THE JAYHAWKER APRIL MEN -flte Man to shun is the Chummy Type, the Man ' s Man. Girls pal him on the head but seldom intile him to spring formats. Y7 OU probably like men. Most people do. - Some of our nicest presidents have been men. But there ' s no getting around the fact that men, godblessem, are peculiar. For instance, there was the case of Dill Killer, who during his first week at our clinic took his nurse hostess to the clinic jelly joint and told her the same pointless joke 27 times. Men are a problem which baffled the scien- tific world until our clinic came along. By scrutinizing thousands of cases, we have come to understand something of characteristic masculine peculiarities. Our methods of diag- nosis and treatment are unique. We employ several hundred girls from the best finishing schools and back streets as nurse hostesses. As soon as a man drags through our door and reels off his tale of woe, we assign him to a nurse hostess, who from then on takes per- sonal care of him. She studies his habits, mannerisms, queer sayings, and makes a con- fidential report at the end of a week. I ROM experience with our careful metho ds - - we have drawn up a number of typical cases. Here, for example, is the I-need-kind- Confessions for Broken- by HEIDI VIETS words type, very dangerous, and found to be hardest of all to cure. His case goes something like this: Complaint: Misunderstood by world. No- body loves him except women. Nurse ' s observations: He keeps the con- versation going by talking about himself. As for dancing, he ' s not bad when taken in short doses, but he mutters into his part- ner ' s ear and features the possessive grip. Favorite saying, You ' re the first girl who ever really understood me. Recommendations: We suggest he go home to mother, who will give him kind words; or join the army, where he won ' t need them. We can ' t help him unless some nurse marries him, and then we ' d have to send her to a clinic. ANOTHER man to shun is the chummy type, the man ' s man. He ' s the one who, just when you think you ' re getting somewhere, pops up with a romantic statement such as, I ' d like to have a little sister just like you. His case - Complaint: Girls pat him on the head but seldom invite him to spring formals. Nurse ' s observations : You know what he ' s going to say six minutes before he says it. He can dance, or rather bounce, but with more enthusiasm than rhythm. He makes no pretense of handing out a line, but will talk frankly on any subject from building model airplanes to raising pet canaries. He keeps bringing up the sister angle. Recommendations: We have a sure cure for this little fellow a Lamarr-Lamour nurse who runs after him day and night, makes him forget he ever heard of a sister. One patient who had this trouble we treated so. well that he has since been happily married and divorced three times.

T A HE seen an ably rig he hap[ Co, conies man right APRIL 1941 289 PECULIAR of a Clinician Down Males A GREAT many of our broken-down males are the super-aggressive type. This type may be broken down into three sub-classes: the possessive type, the fast worker, and the smooth liner. The first of these suffers from the illusion that, just because he thinks a girl has cute freckles, she ' s his property. The other two try to win you over before you have an inkling of what ' s going on. With any of these it ' s well to remember what your Aunt Polly told you. Here is the case of a super-aggressive : Complaint: Usually he bemoans a state of affairs like this, For two weeks I have been rushing a girl. I take her out every afternoon and night, and ask her to cut her morning classes to get a coke. Now, as you can plainly see, I ' m a good fellow. But when I ask her at the end of two weeks to wear my fraternity pin, she says no. What can I do? Nurse ' s observations: It would have been a lot better if his mother had insulted him regularly during his early years. First words to nurse were, Don ' t you love me just a little? He dances hand-below-waistline style. Recommendations: If we had caught up with him a little younger, we might have had him join the Boy Scouts. At this stage we suggest a series of stag parties, readings in Victorian literature, and a good, long talk with somebody ' s grandmother. THE I ' ve-been-around type is patronizing. He takes it for granted you have never seen anything quite like him, which is prob- ably right, and that you are tickled to death he happened by, which is probably wrong. Complaint: Can ' t find a woman who comes up to standard. Can ' t find another man who comes up to standard. Nobody ' s right but Willie. Nurse ' s observations: He ' s always telling about places been and things done. Slick at saying, I ' ve seen ' em all, but baby, there ' s nobody like you. Definitely conceited. He thinks all women knit. Recommendations: We suggest a winter on the farm, preferably without newspaper, radio, or carrier pigeon, to give the world a chance to catch up with him. - Since our clinic was founded many years ago, we have become acquainted with thou- sands of men, and haven ' t found a normal one yet. If a man talks to himself, he is not normal. But if he does not talk to himself occasionally, he is abnormal. If he tries to capture some girl by his line instead of his personality, he is not normal. On the other hand, if he depends on his personality and does not attempt to cinch womanly affections with his line, he is abnor- mal. If he prefers to spend his time with the boys, he is not normal. But if he fails to enjoy time spent with the boys he is abnormal. There ' s no getting around the fact that men, godblessem, are peculiar. The I ' ve-Been-Around Type is patronizing. He takes it for granted you have never seen anything quite like him. ONCE upon a time Eve, sorority unknown, gave Adam who wasn ' t enough of an independent, an apple. The ac- ceptance of this simple gift put Adam in debt, and men have been squiring women about ever since in a va in attempt to square the situation, but no refreshing gift, whether it be Jove ' s nectar as of old or the coke of today, has been found to satiate or rec- ompense the creditor female for one little apple. It was in Paradise that the apple started rolling, and al- though it gathered no moss, it did acquire momentum which defies all of the principles of Newton. The first simple act of apple reversed the original pur- pose of woman, viz., that of pleas- ing man, and created the duty of man as that of pleasing woman. This tradition once started, con- trary as it may have been to the Creator ' s design, has permeated the air of custom upon which society thrives. It was the apple-serving serpent who turned the Garden of Eden into a jelly joint, and to this day his posterity, now known as lounge lizards have flocked to their natural habitat. The purpose of this scientific treatise is to relate the evolution of the jelly joint here on Mt. Oread during the last 75 years. Start- ing with the premise that there is in every man the instinct to jelly, and having shown the cause of such instinct to be the original sin which put man in debt to woman to the extent that he must be forever buying her sweets as interest payments, we need only to add that such instinct is much stronger in college men than it is in humans. TJECOGNITION of this fact in 1889 caused -1 - Billy Reynolds to move his lunch wagon up on Mount Oread approximately where Miller Hall now stands. Immediately students began flocking to Billy ' s seeking hamburgers, cream pie, chocolates, chicken pies, and fruit salads. In the words of a 1911 Kansan, More dates have been made and OYSTER STEW Hang-Out Evolution by JIM SURFACE ' cases ' sealed over the counter at ' Billy ' s ' than at any other place in Lawrence. Billy ' s was also known as the Oread Cafe and the Dog House, and many gay nineties students spent numerous chapel periods within its mellowed four walls. The second Hill jernt of consequence is that venerable old place which has been known off and on since 1911 as Brick ' s. In about 1900 Mrs. Hayes started the Oread Tea Room where Brick ' s now stands. Ed Bricken acquired the location in 1914, changing its name to Brick ' s. Although the management has changed hands often in its 41 years of existence, the popularity of Brick ' s first sarsaparilla has been maintained to its latest coke. In 1907, K.U. was graced with a College Inn, the place to go. This high class restau- Out huliiliiiii Bfy ' i ' tbui ' Billy ' s was d the Dog within its s been known about lOflfl Tea Room en acquired [ name to istence. the parilla has Through Ihr Years rant was the first place in the vicinity of the Hill to have booths, and not only booths, but booths with red velvet curtains. Here in a luxurious pre-war setting, colored waiters served excellent meals which matched those of the best places in Kansas City. Lee Bryant ' s place was also the first on the Hill to have a soda fountain. Other popular soda stops of the early 1900 ' s include Vic Keller ' s drug store which was located on the corner of 14th Street and Massachusetts, and the Rock Chalk cafe which moved up the Hill as a lunch wagon and stayed to enjoy the view and student popularity. i a College Jay hawk Cafe was the first business establishment to commercialize the K.U. Jayhawk, and one of Ducky Ingalls ' first student waiters, Roland Blanc, created the sym- bol which has since flown over all of Oread as well as the nation. The Jayhawk Cafe was begun in 1919 by Ingalls and Ray Zimmerman. They built its present building in 1925 and moved over from their original home, the grocery store which now stands next to it. This cafe was the first to institute delivery service. The downtown place which has been held most dear by K.U. students down through the years is Wiedemann ' s. This remarkable estab- lishment was built in 1865 by William Wiede- mann and immediately became famous for its candies. In the 1890 ' s it was considered a treat for the young Lochinvars to buy their fair ladies a bowl of oyster stew at Wiedemann ' s. Although all of these places began as eating places, they answered the everpresent need for a hangout. It is the joints and not the student tastes which change most, and if the walls of these could talk, they could tell of joy and sorrow, of plan and pain, and of other Eves and their apples. In short, these mute mural tales make up the story of our social Unive rsity. Harshly criticized were a few dastardly blackguards who dared to whistle from the security of their board- ing house window at a lady passing the place. MAN ' S YEAR OF by MICHAEL STEWART AS SOME old toga-clad Roman expressed it - - over 2000 years ago, Tempus fugit. But just suppose that time reverses its fugiting to a period of 25 years ago, to the day when a boy ' s best friend was not his dog, not his sister, nor yet his mother but his pool cue. To the good old days when barbershops were sanctuaries whose benefits were for men only. To the days when men, bigod, ran the country. Here on the Hill, the mighty male was sub- jected to much the same trial and tribulation which plagues his lordly heels today. The city of Lawrence followed the economic policy of extinguishing the street lights at 12:30 each night. To preserve the life and morals of her charges, the dean of women demanded that dates do no more dancing after 12 o ' clock in order that the man might safely squire his girl friend home before utter darkness descend- ed over Lawrence. To be well dressed, the stylish male had a snappy one button drape model suit, topped by a fashionable bowler. He completed his outfit with a walking stick. The knee-length top coat was as popular then as now, although it sported a V-waist and a velvet collar. Trousers were worn with a trend to tightness, and with less than no break, almost ankle length.

As the semi-organized house functions at the present time it is a cross between a fra- ternity and a boarding house. The houses com- bine the good qualities of a fraternity and of a boarding house by assuring students of an agreeable living group, comparable to a fra- ternity group, at the low cost of a boarding house. Fraternities offer their members associa- tions and a high standard of cultural living that the average independent student has no method of obtaining. However, the costs in- volved in maintaining the red leather lounge sets as well as the financial obligation of secur- ing the powerful social security of a nationally- recognized Greek name are beyond the pocket- book of many University students. AT THE same time the social life at the - average campus boarding house is none too pleasant. The student ' s companions are none of his own choosing, being only those whom the landlady can persuade to share her roof. The students responsible for the growth of semi-organized houses desired something more in the way of friends than happen-so-com- panions, and decided to do something about it. They went to a boarding house keeper and worked out an arrangement whereby the stu- dents agreed to fill the boarding house with students if the house-keeper agreed to act as housemother and let them have the run of the house.

TWENTY-THREE MEN AND by RUSSELL BAKER WHEN Mr. Average Student arises in the early morning, flings on a pink and black robe, and gallops downstairs to the fundamental bacon and eggs, he is generally not wound up about the Men ' s Student Council; that is basic. A mid-semester may occupy the mind, yes, or the state of the Union, but the concerns of student government are not his concern. Of immediate im- portance is the bacon and eggs ... to him the M.S.C. may appear to be an eerie, mist-vanishing apparition, on which the daily newspaper spends too much editorial space. Is it of no consequence, then? . . . Why have a council system? Mr. Average Student eventually discovers that the student government is conse- quential, through the mere process of throwing his weight about the campus. If he parks his car in the wrong place, smokes in the wrong place, or mis- behaves too much, the council will have to be reckoned with. Many of his activities and enter- tainments are the result of council action whether it be dancing or harrowing delinquent dandelions. Much of the work of the council goes unpubli- cized. Council members serve on the central activi- ties committee, forums board, Union Operating committee, athletic board, and dozens of other. In terms of pure extracurricular work, these 23 men probably accomplish more than any equivalent group on the campus. Men ' s Student self-government came to the campus in 1909. The event created less interest on Mt. Oread than over the state. The pioneer editors of various weekly newspapers attacked the forma- tion of a Men ' s Student Council with considerable force. Popular opinion agreed that campus anarchy would follow the vanguard of the new government, with the council dismissing unpopular profs on every side. Courageously, the council has refused anarchy. Pachacamac Society was the first impor- tant result of the new set-up, and now claims to be Above: Lee Iluddleston, treasurer. Center: Presson Shane, nice-president. Below: Jim Burdge, secretary. the oldest student political party in America. The Progressive Student Government League has given the Hill a successful two-party sys- tem. Organized in 1935 to clean up student politics, the league has triumphed in four out of six hot campaigns. Of interest to the visitor at a meeting is the attendance record. It averages 21 out of the regularly-elected 23 members. The council meetings last perhaps an hour and a half. Members extend themselves along both sides of a thirty-five foot table in the Pine Room of the Union building and smoke and discuss and vote. It is illuminating for the visitor to watch his government in action - to hear the extraordinary detailed accounts of projects for the future unroll. Rarely does the council split along political lines. Contro- versies are settled on merit with the vote cutting across party distinctions. It seems reasonable that Mr. Average Stu- dent would, at least once in his four years, take the time to find out about his represen- tatives and spokesmen avail himself of the experience of knowing how campus problems are solved. Yet, visitors are rare. Members attend with never-say-die verve and endur- ance, and plow into their scheduled work. No gallery cheers ; nothing bothers them ; the ball- room is dark below, and the Monday night Bill Farmer, President. campus is famed for its silence. Fortnightly they meet, talk, disperse. That they and their predecessors have accomplished one of the most powerful student governments in America is to their credit.

Clem Fairckild . Kenny Hamilton Jack Severin . OPERATING under a new constitution, the Men ' s - Inter-fraternity Council has begun to enlarge the scope of its activities. The Council is increasingly aware that it is no longer enough for a fraternity to offer superior housing and the advantages of associa- tion in common endeavor, to justify its existence. Some of the things that have grown out of this enlightened attitude are of particular interest. Such, for example, are the Council ' s sponsorship of the Czechoslovakian exchange scholarship and fraternal donations to worthwhile causes such as the Tuber- cular Fund. In seeking to raise the quality of fraternity scho- lastic effort, the initiation requirements have been raised again, although the all-fraternity average exceeds the all-men ' s average now. This year, in extending and improving the relations between fraternity and independent students, the . President Vice-president . Secretary . Treasurer Council sponsored smokers for independent and fraternity men, exchange dinners between the fra- ternities and the men ' s dormitories, and a post-card inquiry designed to bridge the gap between men who wanted to be in fraternities, but didn ' t know how, and fraternities who were interested in men. For the coming year other new projects have been planned. An inter-fraternity handbook will be pub- lished this spring and sent to all prospective Uni- versity students. It will be a book that will stress alike the advantages of the University and of fra- ternity membership. Plans now are being laid for an Executive Secretary of Fraternity Affairs, to insure more satisfactory relations between the administration or any other part of the University and the member fraternities.

In the fall of 1940, the membership in the Ku Kus was expanded from 40 to 75 men, composed of 45 fraternity men and 30 independent men. Initiation this year was held in early October. After parading by sorority houses and wading through Potter ' s Lake, the new men were inducted into the organi- zation at a fireside service behind Frank Strong hall. As soon as the membership rolls of the club were completed, the group began to function. Pep rallies, parade rallies, train rallies, stunts between halves of the football games, organization of the Shirt-Tail parade, and the Homecom ing parade are only a few of the activities absorbing the time of each Ku Ku. The week end of the Kansas State football game at Manhattan, the Ku Kus engineered something unique in pep stunts on the campus. A rally was held in Hoch auditorium for a full hour the Friday morning preceding the game. Master of ceremonies was Bunny Black, former football star; Clyde Bysom and Clayton Harbur, Hill swing bands, supplied the swing; Ku Ku members put on various skits; and Gwinn Henry, head coach, was the speaker. This rally touched off a week end of pep and fun, which saw the entire Ku Ku Klub moving to Manhattan for the game. Basketball season came around and again the Ku Kus participated in all pep programs. Cold weather prevented any outside rallies, but train rallies were numerous. The season was climaxed by another rally in Hoch auditorium, complete with the swing bands, C. C. Carl as master of ceremonies, Ku Kus and their Ku Ku stunts, and Dr. F. C. Allen as the speaker. Election of officers occurs at the last two spring meetings, followed by the annual party. The last meetings are the get-togethers at which membars plan a tentative outline of activities for the forth- coming year.

First Lieutenant Second Lieutenant First Sergeant T ACK in the days when the people had a chicken - - in every pot and they were almost ready to keep cool with Coolidge, several members of the University Reserve Officers ' Training unit got together. The time: 1923. Looking for something which could be established as an honor for the members of the advanced B.O.T.C., this certain group hit upon a national organization named Scabbard and Blade which had been founded at the University of Wisconsin in 1904. They took upon themselves the organization of a K.U. chapter of the national honorary military fra- ternity, Scabbard and Blade. Those were the days when everyone liked flappers, Suzy Q; disliked war, and students who took military training. Now, in the days of leasing, lending, and propa- ganda, the entire picture is changed. People dislike flappers and Suzy Q; like war and students who take military training. Scabbard and Blade has changed too. Today it has a membership of 40 men who are leaders among the students taking Military Science. The basis for mem- bership is their scholastic achievement and their personality. Many men have taken their rifles from the armories of Fowler shops since 1923, but not many men have been elected to Scabbard and Blade. The society occupies a conspicuous place in the life of the to-be reserve officer. It is the recognition given by graduating students to those who will follow them and succeed them to ranking positions in the University R.O.T.C. G Company, fourth Regiment, the local chapter, boasts of having such members as Colonel Karl F. Baldwin, commandant of the Uni- versity R.O.T.C.; W. W. Davis, professor of history; A. M. Ockerblad and Earnest Boyce, professors in the School of Engineering, and Frank Stockton, dean of the School of Business. Traditional with G-4 is its banquet held before every military ball at which it shows the fairest of the Hill girls, a little of formal military ceremony. Students who attend this year ' s engineering exposition will find Scabbard and Blade members on hand to explain the exhibit of material and the functions of the University R.O.T.C.

In addition to their twice-a-month business meet- ings, the members of Sigma Delta Chi join with other organizations of the fourth estate at the University to sponsor such projects as the annual Elmer A. Zilch Award Dinner for Meritorious Service in the Field of Journalism. An innovation among the Mount Oread pressmen this year has been the practice of bringing profes- sional journalists of state and national fame to the campus for bi-weekly bull sessions in the Old English room of the Memorial Union building. Topping the list of noted newspaper men who have discussed various aspects of reporting, editing, and publishing is Leland Stowe, ace foreign correspondent of the Chicago Daily News whose coverage of the early stages of World War II won the Pulitzer Prize. Others appearing at the Thursday night bullfests include Oscar Stauffer. noted Kansas publisher and member of the Board of Regents; Ed Chapman, managing editor of the Topeka State Journal; Jack Jarrell, city editor of the Topeka State Journal ; and Graham Hovey, correspondent for the Kansas City bureau of International News Service. The Kansas chapter admits an occasional profes- sional member, as well as the outstanding students in the department of journalism. At the last initiation, March 9, Ed Chapman, managing editor of the Topeka State Journal, was received with professional standing, while John Conard, Charles Elliott, Milo Farnetti, C. A. Gilmore, Arthur O ' Donnell, and Gabe Parks were taken as undergraduate members. Faculty members include Elmer F. Beth, K. W. Davidson, R. A. Heady, Siegfried Mickelson, and T. C. Ryther.

Approximately 20 years ago the University Dramatics club was an all-student organization. The seniors also formed a Dramatics club within themselves which offered a prize for the best play written by a senior. That play was pro- duced at commencement time. In addition, the Y.W.C.A. presented a play each year and a fourth drama league, organized by the faculty and townspeople, held its meetings at the University and presented plays, mostly one-act plays, in Green hall theatre. As time went on, Y.W.C.A. and senior plays dis- appeared and the three student dramatic organiza- tions formed one Dramatics club whose membership became determined through try-outs. The Kansas Players evolved from the Drama league and included outstanding drama students in its membership. In 1926, the Kansas Players organized a summer stock company composed of two faculty members and ten students. The group played a season of six plays during that summer in a little theatre in the basement of Spooner-Thayer museum. In 1928, Fraser theatre was made from the old chapel in Fraser hall. At that time, there was no compulsory activity ticket. The Kansas Players and . President Vice-president Secretary-treasurer the Dramatics club agreed to produce four plays a year, two each, and these four productions were in- cluded on the enterprise ticket. This policy has been practiced ever since. Only once were six plays presented instead of four. It was apparent that six plays made too great a demand on the small number of students interested in dramatics, and since 1932 only four plays have been given. Last year the Dramatics club presented two pro- ductions, Holiday and James Barrie ' s Quality Street, while the Kansas Players gave interesting portrayal of My Heart ' s in the Highland. This year a new speech instructor, James Barton, became sponsor of the Dramatics club to replace Rolla Nuckles, last year ' s sponsor. The organization presented Cradle Song and The Importance of Being Ernest. Members of the Dramatics club are students who have shown their interest in speech and drama. After try-outs, they must serve as apprentices for a year before being initiated as active members. Dramatics club duties include ushering at plays, trying out for every play, and assisting back stage during per- formances. Honorary sponsors are Allen Crafton, Robert and Mrs. Calderwood, and Don Dixon. - Emily Jean Milam First row: Joe Nelson, Agnes Buller, Cliesline Wilson, David Walermulder, Shirley Ruble, Reola Durand, Irene Whiles, Jean Brown, (Henn SI.

No qualification score is necessary. Each spring the 10 best rifle women com- pete at Kemper Military Academy. They are in competition with 10 or 12 of the finest University teams in the country. Telegraphic meets are fired each week with college teams over the United States and in Hawaii. A shoulder-to-shoulder match is fired with the University boy ' s rifle team each year. The losers treat the victorious ones to a picnic. The freshman girls composing this team of 10 are presented pins in the form of crossed rifles for their achievements. White sweaters bearing the club ' s emblem are awarded the additional upper classmen. Members include: Betty Allen, Lois Lee Allen, Jobelle Anderson, Roberta Breitweiser, Mary Brown, Betty Charles, June Cochren, Olivia Cole, Mary Colglazier, Elizabeth Curry, Dorothy Durand, Barbara Edmonds, Jan Granger, Anna Jane Hoffman, Beth Kirby, Sarah Lewis, Claire Meeker, Marian Milhoan, Mary Nelson, Margaret Ogden, Hazel Scheer, Evelyn Taylor, Joan Taylor, Dorothy Weid- mann, and Freda Zimmerman. 1 ' ' li APRIL 1911 ii IIHIHC, 1 of crossed te xur;ilrl warded the .

MEMORIAL UNION 326 THE JAYHAWKER Man ' s Year of Glory (Continued from Page 292) When he wished to take his girl out, the man asked her for an ap- pointment. To woo this maiden of his dreams, he bought an ungodly machine called the ukulele and practiced loudly and diligently. Often he rent the shrouds of night with a terrific din, which he thought of fondly as a serenade. Great strides in transportation facilities were being made. The new interurban between Lawrence and Kansas City was nearly fin- ished, and it was estimated that one might make a round trip in only a few hours. To entertain his date, the beau of 25 years ago, took his girl to the Varsity theatre, where, for a dime, he could watch the cavort- ings of such notables as Charlie Chaplin, Dustin Farnum, Theda Bari, and Fatty Arbuckle. If he wished to splurge, he might take her to the old Bowersock to see the De Koven Opera Company present Robin Hood. His biggest social events were the Soph Hop and Junior Prom. The lawyers annual Law Scrim in honor of the football team was another festive occasion, although tickets were on the block at four dollars apiece. Faculty members were free with their advice and recommendations to the Hill-man. For example, he was told to dress warmly for his classes, in fact warm dress was pronounced a requisite for good scholarship. Students requested less vulgar and coarse yells and songs at ath- lectic contests, in an effort to refine the habits of the campus. Harshly criticised were a few dastardly blackguards who dared to whistle from the security of their board- ing house at a lady passing the place. Finally the man of 1915 grad- uated with a record graduating class, four hundred strong. He had finished his career at K.U. and was ready to face the world. Yes, times have changed since then. Looking back 25 years, the mighty monarch finds his world infringed upon by women. And prodigious would be the lip-curling sneer of the sturdy Hill-man of 25 years ago for the Hill-man of today who forsakes the manly pool-cue for, of all things, a sissy ' s game bridge.

Allen and Engleman collab- orated to account for 40 of the Kansans ' 55 points at Lincoln, March 1, while the Cornhuskers could score only 53, and the Jay- hawks assured themselves of at least a tie for the Big Six cham- pionship as they hurdled the first obstacle on their all-important two-game road trip. The strain of two tough games on foreign courts in three days proved too much for the Allenmen March 3 as they fell before a smooth-working Iowa State quintet at Ames by a score of 41 to 29. The loss left Kansas leading the Big Six race by half a game with one league contest remaining on the schedule. For the Cyclones, it was the last conference game of the season, and their only hope for a championship lay in Okla- homa ' s red-shirted Sooners who stood between the Jayhawks and a clear claim to the crown. No vote was taken, but if Dr. George Gallup were to have polled Jayhawk basketball fans concern- ing their pet peeves about 9 o ' clock on the night of March 7, they probably would have cast a unani- mous ballot for Oklahoma Coach Bruce Drake and two of his star Sooners, Hugh Ford and Garnett Corbin. For on that night, Ford, who became so engrossed in out-re- bounding the shorter Jayhawks that he occasionally forgot to limp on his injured leg, and Corbin, who experienced the hottest streak of his career, jammed 35 points through the basket to help the Sooners shatter Kansas hopes for an undisputed conference cham- pionship and a possible bid to the N.C.A.A. play-offs. The 45 to 37 Oklahoma triumph pushed the Jayhawks back into a tie with Towa State for the title and made the Cyclones the Big Six representatives in the N.C.A.A. play-offs since Louis Menze ' s team held more than a 40 point offens- ive - defensive margin over the Kansans. The Jayhawks completed their 1941 basketball season March 11 in Hoch auditorium against Okla- homa A. and M. in the victory role which they had played so often throughout the season. Allen and Engleman tied for scoring honors with 11 points each as the Kansans defeated the Cowboys 34 to 31. Youthful Styling . . .

Commencement will see friends of four years separating to make their own way in the world. College ties, however, are not so easily broken. Four years of fun and study together have given the class of 1941 a common tie . . . formulated standards and opinions on life . . . many of these ideals are due to become sadly battered by a hustling world with little time for sentiment. But one thing is sure the class of 1941 is going out into the world with the determination to succeed. Hard work, perseverance and energy still remain as requisites for success. But the road need not be as rocky ... as fearsome as it looks at first if you take full advantages of modern aids to get your work done quicker, better and to obtain leisure for the enjoy- ment of life.

After all, you can ' t ex- pect a mere college student with nothing but hope and a typewriter to be telling other mere college students what they should be hang- ing on their backs every day. Why? Why, who knows anything more about the current fashions than you, the reader? Everybody knows that in this country of ours, the undergraduates are the first to pick up new ideas in clothes and the first to nurse and coddle them into popularity throughout the male populace. Wouldn ' t it be silly for the writer to tell you, for instance, what colors blended properly when you were mixing slacks and sport coats and accessories and things and stuff? Of course it would. So why do it? Answer: this time I won ' t! From personal experience and observation, I can say that after looking over the students at Missouri, K-State, Oklahoma. Nebraska, and smaller schools here in this state . . . that K.U. can boast the most best-dressed men. Aren ' t you glad? So from me to you, congratulations on making this school the Princeton of the Big Six. And congratulations on having such well-stocked stores as Ober ' s, Carl ' s and Gibbs to help you make selections. Clerks in those stores know what the college man wants and they have it at their fingertips to show you.

Coeds have a definite start with the cute cotton togs they have been wearing for dancing, playing, and school. Umbrella skirts hold the lime- light. They fulfill the three C ' s of fashion comfort, coolness, and color. Especially attractive is Betty Van Deventer ' s wind-catcher of canary yellow and brown print with wide band of eyelet em- broidery three inches from the bottom of the skirt. For a change, gals slip into clever cotton dresses such as Billie Doris Jarboe ' s heavy, brilliant-green cotton with tricky trimming of heavy embroidered cotton inserted over the shoulders and around the neck. Jean Popham wears a plaid pique with vest- front of plain blue. If you ' re wondering w r hat new perfume to buy for the summer, try Faberge ' s new Cambray which Harzfeld ' s is featuring in many different-sized bottles. Cambray goes well with summer clothes. Huraches, a product of Mexico, are adaptable to summer wear. An offspring of the hot, rough country of southern Mexico, they adapt themselves well to tired feet that have trudged many hills and library steps. Cotton formals, the summer ' s evening successes, have had a good showing at the last few spring parties.

Presbyterians, Methodists, Catholics, or Holy Rollers who had never been west of Chicago might have turned in a like per- formance. But when in May, 1941, Easterners, traveling on a streamlined train from the Atlantic coast to ultra-modern Wichita, still expect to see Indians and cowboys just 10 miles outside Emporia, it makes any good Kansan ' s blood reach a rolling boil. Such a carload of Eastern Baptists sardine- packed the Santa Fe Kansas Citian, headed for a national convention in Wichita, May 19. They not only pressed their respective noses against their respective windows looking for wigwams and bronco busters, but one of their more dignified members sighted a farmer burning off innocent corn stubble and caused a sizable furor when he termed the event a prairie fire. The only thing wrong with the United States is that too many of its citizens wait for conventions in order to learn what has hap- pened during the last hundred years in other parts of the country. TOO bad those Easterners (and many others like them) can ' t know more about Kansas. Too bad they can ' t know more about the Hill. The Hill! Its beauty: with Durrell ' s new improvements making a monastery garden spot of ugly corners here and there with lilac hedges, iris banks, and redbud forests with June sun rising over little Potter ' s lake and afternoon beams shuffling through the trees of Marvin Grove with Dyche ' s tower rising austerely toward the moon at night. Its progress: with three new buildings taking form with fluorescent lighting in the new Union sub-basement with flying and radio courses and new men ' s dormitories with Engineering Expositions and professors ' inventions. Its service: with Alpha Phi Omega and W.S.S.F. with queens volunteering hours to aid Bundles for Britain and sorority girls knitting for the Bed Cross with hungry book-porers going without lunch for peace and without dinner for Chinese students. Its intelligence: with under 21 ' s discussing the European, Asiatic, and world situations with all the insight of the Chicago Round Table with bridge tournaments employing the best of Culbertson ' s often-leaky rules - with Daddy Flint entertaining some of the East ' s most noted journalistic large wigs who not so long ago learned their rudiments in Kansas with Professor Cady giving the world its helium and Dr. Naismith presenting to America the game of basketball with Helen Rhoda Hoopes, D. M. Swarthoul, D. W. Malott, J. J. Jakosky, D. L. Patterson, W. E. Sandelius, and Clifford Osborne. Its spirit: with big, black, blue, green, cream, and red automobiles skimming in on highways from north, south, east, and west to the Diamond Jubilee with 31,000 loyal alumni in a period of only 75 years with the weird, moving, world-famous Rock Chalk chant floating across the valley.

We members of an older generation fre- quently had that kind of feeling. It comes naturally to restless, energetic youth. But there is an important difference between our day and yours. Not a one of us but would exchange places with you. Ours was a slow-moving age. We rode in buggies and walked in dust. We traveled five miles an hour on highways and at a top speed of forty on railroad trains no streamliners. Like all youth, we wanted something to happen, and happen fast. Usually it didn ' t. The world, the social order of our day, was pretty well set. There was no chance to shake it loose and therefore to start any re-moulding along our own lines. Today the whole scheme of things, sorry or otherwise, is being shattered into bits with- out our aid or consent. We cannot do much about that by tomorrow morning. We are living in that kind of order or disorder. Up- heaval is its dominant note. Such a world literally has been tossed at us. Its questions are being hurled into our faces. What to do about it? Surely the answer from youth cannot be mere acquiescence or bewilderment . Nor can it be complaint. Per- haps we have made a mess of things. We plead guilty and let it pass. Excuses will avail neither for us nor for you. AT your age we wanted action and a chance. J - - We wanted adventure and maybe a little risk. You have the whole lot of them today in the form of a terrific challenge. If we know the temper of modern youth, you will not take it lying down. You will not leave it to the government or be lured into an easy path by talk of security, the soft job or the snap, handed down from above. You will get into things, take the risks as they come and be in the fore- front of the re-moulding of a better order. We profess no powers of prophecy and we leave the future a venture into the unknown. We would not attempt to say when the present upheaval will be over or what this country ' s further relation to it will be. We do know it will be over and that the day of a vast recon- struction will come. What will it be to you? Frame your answer. At least let the spirit of it be the spirit of Ulysses of old - Strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. . . .

To Lawrence from every corner of the country will come old grads and their families to honor the history of their alma mater, to refresh old memories, to renew old acquaintances, to remark about the changes, to revel once more in the view from the Hill. The occasion is the Seventy-fifth Anniversary cele- bration of the University of Kansas. Registration will begin at 3 o ' clock on Thursday afternoon, June 5, at the Memorial Union building and will continue through the celebration. Information, lodging accommodations and tickets to events will be dispensed to all comers. University women, costumed in the dress of the 1860 ' s, will serve as guides. ' T ' HE registration desk will also be GHQ for all class - - reunions. Every class that has graduated from the University will have a reunion during the celebration. Some of the classes will group together in joint affairs. All of the reunions have been planned by alumni com- mittees of the classes. Largest attendance is expected for the twenty-fifth anniversary reunion of the class of 1916. Thursday evening at 6:15 Daddy Flint ' s boys (and girls) of journalism will meet in the Memorial Union ballroom around a banquet table for a family dinner and get-together. Raymond Clapper, one of the boys, who writes one of the best known Washington columns, will speak. Although Mr. Flint is retiring this spring as head of the department he will continue teaching and guiding embryo journalists. AT 8:15 Coronado and his recruits from Mexico will ride into Memorial Stadium in search of gold, as a cast of 500 persons on a stage 300 feet tall, portray the history of that fruitless trek made 400 years ago. Friday, June 6, at 3 p.m. in Bailey Chemical labora- tories the E. H. S. Bailey plaque will be awarded. The dedication and re- opening of Dyche Museum at 4 o ' clock will climax eight years of rebuilding and reno- vating since the building which houses the famous natural history collections was declared unsafe and closed to the public in 1933. MOST prominent show piece will be Coman- che, the sole survivor of Custer ' s last stand, the his- toric battle of the Little Big Horn, in which 277 men were killed and not one man of the United States forces survived. Comanche, the favorite horse of Captain Myles Keogh, a fighting Irishman in command of the old Seventh Cavalry, was found by a burial party three days after the battle which occurred on June 25, 1876. One large panorama in the museum extends along 550 feet of scenic back- ground, bringing a vast col- lection of North American animals into one group. Trees, grass, rocks and mountains form the natural setting. Bach in Shiny Automobiles They Will Come 348 THE JAYHAWKER The ground floor houses the paleontology collection, first floor the panorama, mezzanine floor the archeology collection, and the third floor has the ornithological collection. Dr. Alexander Wetmore, a graduate of the University in 1912, and director of National Museums in Washington, D. C., will officiate at the dedication ceremony. AT 5:30 p.m. groups will gather in Memorial Stadium for the sunset barbecue, and some will stay for a repeat performance that Coronado and his recruits from Mexico made a fruitless trek in search of g old r iOO years ago. evening of the Coronado Entrada, guaranteed to bring out a second great crowd. Saturday morning, June 7, Bailey Chemical laboratories, Robinson gymnasium, Haworth hall, Fowler shops and the Power Plant will be on display in the University Exposition. Visitors are free to tour the buildings. Special exhibits have been arranged in many. From 10:30 to 12 noon a symposium, open to all interested persons, will be conducted. The subject, Engineering and National De- fense, will be led by E. B. Black, who gradu- ated from the University in 1906 and who is a member of the firm of Black and Veatch, Consulting Engineers. The other topic will be How About Medics? led by Dr. Leona Baumgartner, director of the New York City health department, and a graduate of the University in 1923. SATURDAY afternoon Seventy-fifth Anni- versary exhibits in Marvin hall, the engineering laboratories and the Observatory will be on display as a part of the Exposition. Golf-minded grads are welcome to use the facilities of the Lawrence Country Club. Dr. Clarence E. McClung, of the Zoology department of the University of Pennyslvania, a graduate in 1896, and Dr. Elmer V. McCollum, of Johns Hopkins University, a graduate of 1903, will conduct a symposium Saturday after- noon from 2 until 4 o ' clock. While the scientists hold forth in conclave the athletic-minded alumni will play a game of baseball w r ith a team of the class of 1941. At 3:30 Members of Sachem will have a powwow and will dedicate the Rock Chalk Cairn which they recently moved and renovated. At 4 p.m. the School of Fine Arts will present a Commencement recital and at the same time engineers will gather in Marvin hall for the annual School of Engineering get- together.

Graduating seniors, undergraduates, alumni, relatives and friends will gather in Memorial stadium to listen to greetings from the Governor of Kan- sas, the Board of Regents, the Chancellor, and to see the members of the class of 1941 walk across the stage, and step out into the ranks of alumni. 350 PERHAPS the bell will toll for us. You, all of us, are a part of a genera- tion which in our own persecution com- plex we have termed the plagued gen- eration. Most of us had lived too little to enjoy the 1921-29 prosperity that our elders still talk about. We had existed just long enough to feel the depression. And the draft bill seems to be so fate-fashioned as to inclose unanimously our little group. We were instructed in the folly of ' 14. We were told that wars never suc- ceeded in establishing their ends. We saw the war to end wars sprinkle fertilizer for an abundant harvest of bigger and better wars. And now we are being led into mortal conflict by these same teachers. Recognizing our own inherent weak- ness, w r e as a generation are willing to fight. But as a semi-rational group we JlNt AS THE (Photo by Maurice Jackson) demand something for which to fight. We are not satisfied to fight merely against something, no matter how con- crete and terrible it may appear. We demand assurance, that in the event of fighting and dying and winning, we can return to our home and find a nation internally peaceful. We are urged to fight this war to prevent the spread of a foreign evil. Can we be assured that the evils which exist within our own borders will be rationally solved? Or will we return war-weary to find the specter which we had fought to destroy haunting our own hearths? These are the questions of this genera- tion, and we demand an answer from The ' ing tod t tT . t with tli theyoi too-far- (lie ch; run as THE A arn the avi CollfgK or any man ai Ve cai II eration turn lo E | thattl bad as finding ing- work. : is the time i men ha in lieu JUNE 1941 Here Is the Philosophy of the Typical Student Who Faces o nictitation those wise men who now advise us to fight. The defense forces of this country are swell- ing today by means of conscription and volun- teers, but neither class is entering the arena with the resolve to fight fascism. No, most of the young men of today, the soldiers of a not- too-far-off tomorrow, are enlisting because of the chance for a job. Will this chartless ship run aground? THE position of the college man in the armed forces is even more ironic than of the average high school graduate. Often the collegiate is a student of Tolstoy or Thoreau or any of the others who taught the love of man and the never ceasing hatred of conflict. We can charge the greatest crime of our gen- 351 be pock-marked next fall with human excava- tions of men called into service. Not the least of the threats is the proposed measure for 18- year-olds. The duty of the University is to teach men to build ; the purpose of the army, optimistically stated, is to destroy in order to preserve. The college man most clearly realizes this dilemma, and although all is not dark and it will grow darker before the dawn, and although some men find happiness and comedy in their own military lives, nevertheless the average college man faces the draft or any other form of military service with apprehen- sion and distaste. As long as we as young men can preserve a hatred of conflict, the world of the future can be brightened, but if the powers that be destroy the Tolstoy in every man, then it is the future that will suffer. If a war will bring only added belligerency, then we will be fighting a lost cause. We don ' t want to repeat the disillusion of World War I.

Experience has shown in the past few months that the draftees find the army routine not so bad as expected. Many of our graduates are finding duties in connection with their train- ing duties which suit their own desire for work. Such is one graduate whose military task is the publication of a camp magazine. His time is spent in the work that he likes and his efforts are bent in the direction that helps all concerned. Not all ill is our wind. WITH the exception of the National Guard which was mobilized last December, few men have left college to assume the khaki, but in lieu of the ominous tension Mt. Oread may eare listed in the neu selectee ramps. As young Americans, we are experienc- ing a novel environment. We. are being prepared to defend our country. Ve are expected to fight for a state of mind, for which in the ideal many are willing to give their lives, hut which floats in our mental ocean as an indistinguishable object shrouded in a fog of confusion. 352 THK j ii KI:H THIRTY-ONE THOUSAND a. n ' t SQ wton by DEAN OSTRUM your next assignment you ' ll do the Alumni Association, the editor blandly broke the news to me. Make it light, and make it readable! The Alumni Association! I protested (to myself.) What does she think she ' s editing, a college annual or a master thesis! I couldn ' t do much more than try though, so on the next perfectly good Saturday I found myself in the basement of Ad opening the Alumni Association door. There before me were four hard-working secretaries surrounded by filing cabinet upon filing cabinet loaded with the vital statistics of 31,000 K.U. gradu- ates and former students. For almost 75 years now this institution has (I ' holo by Hal Hupprnihal) These make the Alumni Association lick: Marvin Goebel, Fred Kllsmtrlh, Alice Hosford, and Florence Bohanson at work in office been handing out diplomas; in those 75 years, 31,000 young men and women have matricu- lated in the name of the University of Kansas. A story? Why of course there was a story. Those 31,000 people can ' t be wrong! Obviously those people had not been idle since their departure from the Hill. Banded together in the name of the Alumni Associa- tion, they were and are constantly striving to make other people K.U. conscious. The biggest public relations agency on the campus, the Association is now working so the next 31,000 won ' t go wrong! Several months ago it was made known that the department of military science could have a new building if the University would raise $25,000 with the Federal Government giving the rest. The matter naturally lay in the hands of the Endowment Association, but where did they come for help in establishing contacts with prospective contributors? The Alumni office, of course. Within one month all $25,000 was raised through con- tributions from alumni and friends of the University. Work started on the new structure weeks ago. There were three new boys ' co- operative houses provided for this year which open new avenues of success to deserving students who otherwise might not have been able to attend college. How were the con- tacts made possible? Why, through friends and graduates working in cooperation with the Alumni Associa- tion. The University Band is an out- standing symbol of the school ' s brilliant progress. Its striking uniforms were paid for by Alumni Association contributions.

May 9, Miss Betty Coulson University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Miss Coulson: I am returning herewith the fifteen photographs. I had no idea that so much pulchritude was to be found in the heart of Kansas and shall immed iately make plans to move there as soon as my career in Hollywood is over. It was very difficult making selections, but in accordance with your request I have finally chosen five, after much bickering among my secretarial staff, and amidst considerable heckling. But when it gets down to selecting among the five, I am afraid I ' m licked. They are quite different types, and choosing be- tween them would be the equivalent of trying to make a selec- tion between Marlene Dietrich and Deanna Durbin: It ' s all according to your taste, men. Therefore, I have initialed two of them with the designation F.F. : Femme Fatale! I have des- ignated two others with the initials S.Y.T.: Sweet Young Things! And the fifth could be either, possibly according to her mood, so she ' s designated as a Compromise Candidate. I am probably all wrong about these beauties, in that the Sweet Young Things are probably the hottest things in town, whereas the Femme Fatales probably divide all their time between poetry and flowers. However, I have only the single photograph of each, and (unfortunately) do not have the pleas- ure of personal acquaintance with any of them. I will be curious as to your final choice. I hope I haven ' t complicated matters too much. And if the five selections have any other photographs, I would be interested in seeing them.

Odd that I regret to say good- bye to a little simplified slide rule for measur- ing pictures in proportion a stick that often ripped my eyes or my nerves until I dipped into my big, nearly-emptied aspirin bottle for solace. Peculiar that now I will write senti- mentally of a few photographers and writers who persisted exasperate dly in considering my idea of a deadline as something purely ficti- tious a product of my fiendish mind merely for the purpose of scaring them. I seem to be the conventional editor of the Jayhawker. by THE EDITOR (Photos by Maurice Jackson) If I had the job to do again, I would do it, hating it and loving it at the same time.

I ' ve especially enjoyed my relation with Bob Woodward, business manager, who has played his game fairly, giving a wide variety of aspirants a chance to show their ability. Woody has plugged away at advertisers who have twice or thrice turned him down, planned circulation drives, built up the income to a peak that allowed this year ' s Jayhawker to use expensive layouts, and a his- torical number of pictures. He has proved dependable, resourceful, agreeable a real and vital addition to the magazine. BOB has been assisted by a number of able workers, among them Duane Smith, whose initiative and record with senior picture selling won him the coveted adding machine of the business manager for next year. Nation Meyer, who trailed only a hair ' s length in the race for the job, sold advertising mounting into hun- dreds of dollars. Tom Lillard at last broke the adver- tising ice of Topeka and helped immeasurably in adding black to the thirsty books. In addition, Ed Palmer, Evan Shaible, Bob McElfresh, and Glen Gilpin have more than proved their worth. No awarding of bouquets would be complete without mention of Dorothy Schroeter, secretary. Dot has proved indispensable, quick, alert. She has done the inglorious, drudgery-type of work that brought her more worry and dark circles than credit. She has fore- gone meals to stay at the office making calls, adjusting fdes, and pounding typewriter keys. She has offered good, sound advice that has proved often the solution to a difficult problem. She has been my right arm and my true friend. TVTEXT, I must consider photography and art work, - the two elements first to be seen and last to be remembered in the magazine. First cover prize goes to Maurice Jackson for his effective bench-basketball photo in the February issue. Hal Branine may rake in heavy stakes in the sport field with his muscle-straining, action-portraying over- the-basket picture in the December issue. Second stakes go to Maurice Jackson for his remarkably clear photo of Larson-decathlon in this number. Hal Buppenthal may be classed as winner numbers one to four inclusive in the candid realm.

Strong honorable mentions go to Margie Hagstrom for con- sistent ability and Bent Mantz for a side- ticklin humor in his rush week sketch (Octo- ber issue). OPINIONS of writing are more or less a matter of personal taste. Therefore, the following awards are humbly submitted. Best editorial feature of the year, As The Line Grows Strong, is the work of next year ' s editor who possesses remarkable qualities: ideas, ideals, fortitude, talent, initiative. Jim Surface will edit a good magazine. Second best editorial feature is Gray Dorsey ' s poetically- expressed Man With A Spade in the February issue. Bob Trump wins the flowered horseshoe wreath for number one performance in the world of sports writing, with his excellent history of this year ' s basketball season. Chuck Elliott tags but a nose behind with his note- worthy reporting of spring sports. Grand prize for originality, a rare virtue, will be mailed immediately to Ken Lewis for his refreshing Yoo Who Jehudi in the Oc- tober issue. In second place, as runner-up, is Heidi Viets with her Irons in the Fire (December issue). Ken Lewis may expand his chest to receive another medal for frankness in writing Diplomas and Diplomacy in this issue. Katherine Bueker likewise deserves a tipping of the hat for her straightforward Earning Learning (April issue), as does Michael Stewart, Jack Cadden, for his C.A.A. Takes Off in the October issue. Last but not least, I want to thank every contributor and subscriber to the Jayhawker who has offered criticism, good or bad, who has read the magazine and liked it. After all, it takes the cooperation of a great share of the student body to make any school annual a success. It ' s been a great year. h JUNE 1941 361 (Photo by Maurice Jackson) 362 THE JAYHAWKER .1 (Photos by Hal Branine) ALTHOUGH a strong, - - chilly southwest wind played havoc with most of the record- setting possibilities, it did not cause the nineteenth annual Kansas Relays on April 20 to become un- eventful. Over 5,000 students, high school track men, rushees, and guests re- mained during the entire meet; and they were not disappointed. It was late in the afternoon when Archie Harris, big Indiana Negro, took command of the discus when he tossed the platter 171 feet, 6% inches to set a new Kan- sas Relays record. The old record of 154 feet was set by Petty, of Rice Institute. Harris lacked only a yard of throwing the plate out of the field, and he also just missed the world record of 173 feet, 2Vz inches. It was one of the most outstanding feats ever witnessed at the annual relays games. To add to the spec- tacular feat, Harris did not even take off his sweat suit. Jack Hughes, Texas strong man, finished second behind Harris. With Ruth Rodgers, Delta Gam, reigning as Queen of the 1941 Relays, and Pi Phis ' Teddy Comley and Thetas ' Mary Burchfield as her assistants, the various team members received their trophies enthusiastically. T. E. Jones, Wisconsin coach and referee of the In Which Strong Winds, Queens, the Relays Com- mittee, Larson, and Hot Dogs Rule the Day by LARRY WINN Relays, took charge of matters on the field, he- sides entering a strong aggregation. OUR hoys from the Hoosier state of Indi- ana clipped a tenth of a second off the university sprint relay mark, when they negotiated the mile in 3:25.2. The foursome, Cochran, Riley, Burnett, and Kane, broke the record of 3:35.3 set by Oklahoma last year. Kane, national intercollegiate half-mile cham- pion, passed Texas ' sensational sophomore, Mac Umstaddt, in the back stretch. Kane was clocked in 1:51.1. With the help of a terrific tailwind, Carlton Terry, blond-headed, sun-tanned Texas flash, whipped over the finish line for the 100-yard dash in the world record time of 9.4. But be- cause of the wind, the fast time was not recognized as a record of any kind. This century race was one of the features of the Relays, with Terry; Fred Rarnsdell, Texas; Myron Piker, Northwestern; and Don Walters, Missouri taking the spotlight. The Jayhawker high jumpers took away some of the honors, when Bob Stoland and Norman Sanneman leaped 6 feet, % inches to cop first place in that event. They were handi- capped by the cold weather. JUNE 1941 363 A NOTHER Missouri ace, John Munski ran - - a beautiful race in the Special Invitation Mile to edge out little Mel Trutt, formerly of Indiana, finishing in the good time of 4:13.4. Trailing these two striders were Ralph Schw artz- kopf, Michigan, and Ray Harris, Kansas. Munski, per usual, took the lead soon after he had passed the first curve and relinquished it only once to Trutt, but Lonesome John came right back to take the lead again and finish ahead of his competitors. Pete Owens, of Howard Payne University, Gwinn Henry ' s alma mater, had the high hurdle field to himself as the long-legged cow- boy clipped the hurdles in 14.4. Owens was slated to crack the record of Fred Wolcott, Rice, but the soft track made hurdling difficult. Conspicuously absent was Glenn Cunning- ham, who missed the Relays this year for the first time since 1932. For years, Glenn has been the feature event of the Relays, making an outstanding showing many times. Only occasionally did the Mile King disappoint the crowd with a poor performance. Nevertheless, the mile run should be called the ' ' Glenn Cunningham Special Invitational Mile. TAKING over as new decathlon champion, Charles Larson, tall, husky blond from Culver-Stockton, led his field by a wide margin, gathering 6014 points, many points less than the Relays record set by Glenn Morris. Defending champion, E. Lee Todd did not participate this year. Larson was a fine example of a well-trained young athlete, bronzed by the sun. With such an entry field and with half (Photo by Maurice Jackson) Above: Taking over as the new decathlon champion, Charles Larson, tall, husky blond from Culver-Stockton led his field by a wide margin, gathering GOlb points.

Team members received their trophies enthusiastically. 364 THE JAYHAWKER decent weather, many Relay records and even a few American records should have been smashed. But even with obstinate weather, the Kansas event compared favorably with the Drake and Penn Relays. Missing from the roll of honor were two schools that usually send strong teams to the annual event. Absent this year were the Corn- huskers of Nebraska and the blue-shirted Rice Institute Owls. The Cornhuskers, w ' ith one of the best track teams in the history of the school, had to pass up the Relays this year in order to fulfill the scheduled tour of the Rocky Mountain schools and the far west. The Rig Six school had planned this trip before the Relays were scheduled. The Rice Owls were also conspicuously absent because their student fans demanded that they be able to see the strong teams that represented that school. Also missing was the famous blond-headed Fred Wolcott, with his beautiful hurdling and running form. OUT taking place of the Rice team, that - - always left with more than its share of trophies, was the sun-tanned group from Texas, headed by its coach Clyde Littlefield. Carlton Terry, Fred Ramsdell, Jack Hughes, and Mac Umstaddt were good examples of a well-balanced team. Much credit should be given to the Kansas Relays committee, which does all of the detail work on the Relays. This group consists of a senior manager, two juniors, four sophomores, and eight freshmen. It sends out announce- ments, the entry lists and other material. Many hours are spent by this committee which gets little credit. Watching over them constantly is E. R. Elbel. TAST year the committee engineered Glenn - - Cunningham Day for thrilled spectators. The crowd hoped for a last spectacular stand by the great Kansas Miler but the brothers Wayne and Elaine Rideout of North Texas Teachers toured the four-lap course ahead of both Cunningham and San Romani who strained into third place. Elaine romped home with a new mark of 4:10.1, a length ahead of Wayne. Glenn crossed in fourth position. Even in defeat, Cunningham received a great ova- tion from the crowd as he made his final run on the Memorial stadium track. Last year, too, a number of hot, sunburned, dark-glass-wearing Kansas followers found a great moment in the mile relay. 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, Kenneth Hamilton, husky Jayhawk anchorman, ate up the margin separating him from the first place Gopher in the last event on the day ' s card. The Jayhawks also picked up points in the pole vault, the distance medley relay, and the 440-yard relay. The Relays Committee JUNE 1941 365 D A D Y f S n a e 1 1 n by HEIDI VIETS (Photos by Maurice Jackson) ONCE there was a little elf named Dandy, who lived on a dandelion. He was very happy because he knew that his dandelion was the only one in all the wide world. Then one day Dandy ' s dandelion began to close up on him. He packed his things, slid down the stem, and made his home under a dandelion leaf, hanging his grandmother ' s picture on a blade of blue grass. Then Dandy cried and cried. This is terrible, he moaned. My grandmother ' s picture won ' t even catch the sunlight. Dandy grew so pale and thin that he decided to take a trip. But first, he thought, I ' ll go up to have one more look at my old home. So he shinnied up the dandelion stem. To his surprise his dandelion had become a fluffy ball, so fuzzy that it tickled his feet. He climbed to the top, and as he was standing there a puff of wind blew away Dandy, the fluffy ball, and everything but the bare stem. Dandy, picking himself up out of the blue grass, began to cry. Then he thought, At least I have had the only dandelion that will ever grow in all the world, and he felt happy again. THE next spring Dandy started on a trip. He was very gay until he saw a dandelion. He walked on, and soon there were dandelions all around him. Everywhere he looked there were dandelions. Dandy sat down and cried. All the fun of having had a dandelion was gone now that everyone had so many dandelions. Then in the year 1941, on April 23, at the University of Kansas, the students decided to see what they could do to make Dandy happy again. For weeks they planned the big day under the leadership of Charles Wright, dandelion field marshal, and William Farmer, president (Continued on Page Above: Peggy Pat Hennessey and Chancellor Malott rose bright and early to work on an assigned plot of ground.

SOME As Varsity Teams Equipment for fry CHARLES ELLIOTT ( ' ho os hy Hal Branint) season but no one could believe the facts. In Jacl, the I9?il baseball product has proved that Mount Oread is capable of producing a diamond nine that can lake care of it itself. WHAT is it? It ' s not that they have outstanding ability. And yet the Jayhawker baseball team has flashed a brand of bal l this year that has made many of the staunchest Kansas critics blink their eyes in amazement. In fact, the 1941 baseball product of Coach Phog Allen has proved that Mount Oread is capable of producing a diamond nine that can take care of itself quite admirably in Big Six circles. Allen started with only one regular from last year, Knute Kresie. The best that could be said of the outfit at the start of the season was that they would scrap and hustle and possibly their spirit would enable them to eke out a lone victory. Baseball at Kansas was considered a so-so sport, just giving a few more boys some exercise and a chance to win a K. The season was slow in starting. Bain kept the squad from practicing outdoors and even postponed the two opening games with Kan- sas State. After Easter the sun shone for a time and allowed the boys to get three practices in before tangling with the Sooners. This game should have been the tip-off to the whole up-start Jay- hawkers held the de- fending champions to a 2 to 1 score? Why, it was impossible. Yet Kresiehad held the Sooners to three scattered hits and only by the bunching of two walks with one of these hits were the Sooners able to score their two runs. The fact that K.U. got only three hits was another tip-off on the new sea- son for lack of power at the plate proved to be the Jayhawkers ' main drawback all season. Feeling pretty good about this game, the ' Hawks went up to Ames and continued their good playing by nosing out the Cyclones, 8 to 7. But that did it! Overconfidence appeared to be the toboggan slide for the Jayhawkers. The following day the Cyclones swept four Kansas pitchers from the mound with a 17-hit barrage which, coupled with an 11-error per- formance by K.U., gave Iowa State a crush- ing 23 to 6 victory. THE Jayhawks returned to Lawrence a trifle repentent and behind Kresie ' s steady 8-hit pitching they held the Tiger-Christman combination to a 5 to score. Once again their hitting proved their downfall. Only three hits were gleaned from the offerings of Bill Spencer. The next day the Crimson lads fared piti- fully. Nothing they did was right. John Burge was shelled for 10 runs in seven innings in his first start since trimming the Cyclones. In all, the Tigers got 18 runs and held the ' Hawks to a lone tally until the ninth inning when four JUNE 1941 367 Telll iei OF SPRING Shed Sweat Shirts and Another Summer more runs were pushed across the plate. This game definitely proved Bob Allen ' s ability at first base when Missouri gathered eight runs off the Phi Beta Kappa- All American court star in the last two innings. WITH these games out of the way and good weather here to stay, the Red and Blue diamond machine got to functioning in high gear. A return engagement at Columbia with the League-Leaders was the next attraction and here the ' Hawks proved their ability. Bill Spencer was on the mound again for the Tigers and he turned in a 4 to 2 victory, but his pitching performance was equalled by Burge who likewise gave up but eight hits. The Tigers won the game in the seventh inning when, with the score knotted at 2-all, a passed ball escaped the substitute Kansas catcher and gave life to the Missouri two- run rally. The next day Kresie allowed only five hits but was shaded in his efforts by Frank Graham who had won the walk-away game in Lawrence. The score, 3 to 1, brought the Tiger ' s 12th victory in 13 starts. Phog Allen ' s boys were definitely playing ball by this time and it was shown further when the team went to Lincoln and swept the two-game engagement with the Huskers. Trailing 3 to 1, the Jayhawks tallied once in the seventh and then chalked up two more markers in the eighth inning to give Burge his second triumph of the season. THE second game was not even close as K.U. ran across two runs in the first inning and followed this up with five scores in the second frame. Kresie struck out 13 batters in this game, one more than Burge had struck out the day before. The University golf and tennis teams had parallel schedules this year and gained parallel results as they each finished in fourth place for certain with a pos- sibility of moving into a tie for third in each case if Nebraska were to lose her remaining match.

It is a singular thing that, after all the hours I have spent brooding in the library on the reason for my continued enrollment in the University through the years, the answer should occur to me while lapping up a noggin of beer. The revelation substantiates my conviction that a college student gleans a large share of his erudition from what goes on in a booth. It is a matter that the psychologists have overlooked, I think; i.e., the booth as a source of research material. At the moment, there flashed through my mind the idea that was a successful senior even though the chances of getting my hooks into the old sheepskin were about as far away as Walla Walla. Now, I thought, there are a multitude of my compat riots who are in the same stew. Any number of fourth year students on the Campus are goggling at the thought of going home this June without getting themselves ticked off the books, and I could very nicely play the good Christian by carrying the gospel unto them. I confess that there is nothing really new in my logic, but I feel that the graduating seniors have too long been hogging the limelight. This is one year when the Jayhawker magazine is not going to make the pseudo-senior feel like a country-cousin. I N the first place let us ask ourselves how does one become a senior? And the answer, of course, is simple: A senior (in the college) is any person who has amassed a total of 80 credit hours and 90 grade points, of which there shall be five hours of rhetoric, 10 hours of foreign language and 20 hours in the first three of four divisions, with no fewer than 20 nor more than 40 hours in any one department. Then, naturally, no person can be a senior who has been so careless as to enroll in more than 80 hours in one division or in more than 60 hours in one field, or in more than 25 in any department in which he is not a major. This may not be strictly accurate but it conveys the idea. In the catalog this brings us, sketchily, to the section entitled Relations with Other Schools in the University. Obviously anyone who has battled his way this far through the academic obstacle race could, if he wished, lean back on the concomitant laurel. But there are several more ways by which the undiploma-ed student can prepare himself to meet the stern and re- proving eye of his parent, or his conscience. Graduate and (My own policy has been to concentrate on the parent, as my conscience, in this matter at least, is extremely tractable.) In this con- Dedication to the Senior Who Will the Senior Wko Won ' t JUNE 1941 369 AND nection let me relate the steps I have myself taken to cultivate this mental buffer. TO begin I say to myself, You are a senior, and the word for seniors is ' venerable. ' Moreover, you are one of God ' s favored crea- tures having, through a combination of cir- cumstances which can be attributed only to His grace, been placed in the company of learned men and beautiful women for four years. Even if you had not strived to gain the most from these contacts you could hardly have avoided snagging onto something which would brighten your clammier years. Though you consistently managed to forget in ten minutes after a quiz the material which re- quired hours to commit it is possible that somewhere in the procedure you have learned to think, that being, according to the educators, the fundamental principle of higher education. You will find that this line of reasoning has more and more appeal as it is mulled over. - A word here on one danger of this scheme. It can readily be seen that the pater, who has been taking it in the pocketbook these long months, will not be entirely satisfied if you say, on your homecoming, Poppa, I may not have a degree but I know how to think. Offhand I should imagine that parental reactions, however many individ- uals are involved, would be painfully similar. Still, it seems essential that one have some sort of case to lay out. I ' ll admit that the answer to this problem has not taken clear form in my own little gray cells as yet but the day of judgment is not quite at hand. A FTER convincing yourself that a diploma - is nothing more or less than a symbol and that anyway you couldn ' t scrape up the $7.50 fee without hocking your roommate ' s over- coat, the rest is easy. You merely say, After all, if college isn ' t anything else, it is at least four years of your life when you don ' t have to worry about keeping a regular 8 a.m. appointment with a time clock, or its un- pleasant equivalent. (There is no University regulation that stipulates one must have an 8:30 class.) Looking back on my college career I can recall many creditable accomplishments and discoveries achieved through my own particu- lar brand of diligence and industry. They will, I am sure, offset any future feelings of remorse about fumbling in front of the goal line. The following list is inserted with the hope that others who are not candidates for degrees will be likewise induced to count their blessings. 1. Before the end of my sophomore year I be- came uncommonly proficient at knotting a bow tie. This made me one of the most popular brothers in my fraternity on the night of a party. 2. You can almost always find in the library a resume of any long book that you may be assigned to read, though sometimes you have to spend two or three days looking for it. 3. When you have a date and no shill- ings in your pocket you can take her to the Music Room.

In five elementary steps this term theme deal can be cleared up completely and forgotten without excessive loss of sleep and social engagements. Observe closely Step number one: To begin with, you must choose a snappy title (many professors have been known to grade as much as 98 per cent on the title alone) . There are several ways that this title can be chosen, but past experience proves that it should deal somewhat with the subject to be written on, but here you are free to use your own judgment. There are two major DO NOTS in this title choice that positively must be observed: DO NOT bring in the sex element. DO NOT refer to popular radio gags. Sexy titles often have the tendency to distract the professor ' s mind from the theme and you are liable not to reap the full rewards of your efforts. As many of the faculty are ardent radio fans, they are up to date on all the latest gags pulled over the air. When they see the radio joke in print on your paper, it makes them feel that the student is getting outside help, and they deduct from the grade some- what heavily. TF, by now, you have obtained a nice title, - you may move on to step number two - the filling of the body of the manuscript (which is very important, unless you have produced an exceptionally good title). For this filling, it is only necessary to spend a few minutes in the library. (If you were wise in step one, you picked a nice, scientific title with lots of room for equations and complex sets of figures.) By thumbing through a book of science, you should be able to find a page that looks im- practical enough to make a good first page for your masterpiece. Copy neatly one page of it to use in the theme, then toss the volume aside. As for the rest of the manuscript pages, you can leave them blank for this step. The number of blank sheets you use is in accord- ance with the number of words that the theme is supposed to be in length. Step number three follows almost imme- diately. Bundle up the pile of blank sheets with the written page on top, and make a call on your professor for a serious consulta- tion concerning some intricate point. You can allow him to view the one written page as much as he likes, but, under no circumstance, should you let him discover the blank sheets that follow it. Let the professor lecture away as wildly as he likes, but don ' t make any assertions about the subject; any mis-statement now would dash you into the depths of chaos. When he con- cludes his oration, rush to him in an outburst of gratitude and wring his hand. Tell him that he has saved you because somewhere in the text of the theme you have made a false state- ment. Finish this step by taking up the bundle of papers in your hands and ripping them apart. number four takes you back to the library. Find another volume on your sub- ject, and copy as many pages of it as you think you will need. This step is, by far, the most trying of all, but, when it is completed you can rest assured of, at least, an F. If the professor requires footnotes, you can make up a few excellent ones without any trouble. If you have some dramatic ability, the final step, number five, should prove a snap. Take the stack of copied pages done in number four and make call number two on your professor (Continued on Page fi i) 388 THE JAY HAWKER (Photo by Maurice Jackson) JUNE 1941 389 an d ofi tk -Hill American Navajoes had an impressive way of telling stories. That method was sand painting. A gnarled Navajo brave sat amidst multicolored piles of sand, laid out strange pat- terns and vivid color schemes, told one and all the events of the past, the present, and the future. The happenings of this year at K.U. were as many, as varied, as colorful as the sands of the Navajoes, but nowhere could be found a modern who could strew r the sands. K.U. stu- dents had no time for lingering over the color- ful but outmoded customs of vanishing races. Hill students told, read, and lived their stories in a modern manner, via printing press, typewriter, and linotype. They read and told their tales in black and white, relying on con- tent, not color. Still, it was a pity that no ancient sand painter remained to build a picture of K.U. events of the past year. Here were materials for his patterns, quantity, plots, and color.

SHOCKED but happy, were the students of the University of Kansas when they realized this spring that their Campus was soon to be in the midst of the biggest building boom Jayhawks have seen since the twenties. Four major building projects are either in the process of construction or in the planning stage, and in addition the whole Campus is having its face lifted in a large-scale landscap- ing project. Most important of the new pieces of con- struction is the planned $408,500 Mineral Industries building to house University depart- ments engaged in research for development of mineral resources of Kansas. Actual construc- tion will not begin on the Mineral Industries building until fall. Of the other three building projects two are under construction and the third is still in the planning stage. An Engineering Research laboratory is being constructed south of Marvin hall. A Military Science building is being built to the southwest of Hoch audi- torium. And two additions are proposed as a north and a south wing to the Memorial Union building. THE Mineral Industries building will be constructed immediately west of the Obser- vatory, necessitating the movement to the west of a section of West Campus road. Plans for the Mineral Industries building estimate the cost of construction and equip- ment at $408,500. The south wing of the Mount Oread Sees Its Biggest Kuilding Boom Since the Pre- Depression Twenties, as K.U. Gets Its Face Lifted building will be two stories high and will house the department of chemical engineering. The central part of the building is to be four stories high, and will accommodate two de- partments, lecture rooms, a library, and an auditorium. The four story north wing of the building will house the geological survey offices, and the department of geology. Work on the new Military Science building actually has begun, and men are now excavat- ing the building site. When completed, the building will be two stories high, will be faced with cottonwood limestone from old Snow hall, and will have cost $125,000. There will be a rifle range, storerooms, a vault, dressing rooms, classrooms, and offices in the new military structure. The building will be completed and ready for use by the R.O.T.C. next fall. THE Engineering Research laboratory being constructed by N.Y.A. labor at a cost of about $30,000 is well under way. Steel and concrete piers already have been sunk into the ground, and a large number of stabilized earth blocks have been turned out. The laboratory is to be one story high; and will include seven research laboratories, an office, a reception room, and the KFKU broadcasting studios. Affecting more students is the planned change in facilities of the Memorial Union building. Under tentative proposal a north and south addition will be made to the build- ing at a cost of about $185,000. If the plans are accepted by the Board of Directors of the Union building, and sub- sequently by the Board of Regents, the Uni- versity will receive some startling new recrea- tional facilities. In the sub-basement of the Union a dance JUNE 1941 391 YEAR OF I floor in connection with the fountain will be added, and six bowling alleys will be con- structed adjacent to the billiard and table tennis room. The basement floor will be ex- tended to the south, adding offices for var- ious student organizations and a terrace opening off the cafeteria. Other plans for the Union building include a browsing room, and a music room on the first floor, more dining rooms on the second floor, and an elaborate roof garden on the third floor. IN addition to the various building projects the whole Campus is being renovated through extensive landscap- ing. All flower beds are to be replanted with permanent flowering shrubs. Various spots about the campus that look bare are being decorated with evergreens, shrubs and grass. The Rock Chalk Cairn has been brought up from its old location to a new spot on the brink of the Hill behind the administration building, and it has been rebuilt with a low bench around it. The last time the Univers- ity constructed a new building was in 1931 when Watkins Memorial hospital was com- pleted. With the adoption by the legislature of the Mill-tax levy bill, the 10-year building pro- gram of the University under way in the late twenties may be renewed. Included in the list of needed structures on the Campus, are buildings for: architecture and civil engineering, music, chemistry, and medicine. If the expansion boom continues, the Hill ' s wants may be satisfied. The Mineral Industries Building will be constructed west of the observatory. Iff!!! ! t ' ' _, i_L i an Men are now excavating Ihe building site of the Military Science Building. Although it may resemble a plumber ' s nightmare, there is more to architectural Professor George M. Beat ' s Inside-Oulside Heliodon than meets the eye. The only machine of its kind in existence, the Heliodon is designed to correlate the action within a building with the sunlight outside. The Heliodon is capable of giving an atmospheric quality comparable to a location any- where on the earth ' s surface at any hour of the day on any day of the year. The April, i9hi, issue of the magazine, Pencil Points, carries an announcement of Professor Beal ' s new ingenious machine. INVENTING PROFESSORS by DEAN OSTRUM (Photos by Maurice Jackson) A LMOST every professor or assistant professor has - - some pet scheme in the back of his mind for a new fabrication of the imagination. It may be an inside-outside Heliodon, or then again, it could be just a simple combination doorstop-mouse trap. Whatever it is, the inventor-father is proud of it and lives in constant hope that his invention may be someday the savior of society. The ideal invention should be useful and practical. The poor disillusioned man who perfected the can opener probably did believe that it would work. Prehistoric man had the right idea when he decided in favor of the round wheel over the square one. A single invention is usually representative of years of trial and error research. The gentlemen who are pictured on this page have spent all the way from three to 40 years working on their brainchildren. W. O. Meissner, Professor of Education, has created a magic mind for the phonograph. Spoken of as the Phonoscope, the machine throws a line of light vertically down a paper chart in front of the phonograph as the record is being played. The head- lines of the story behind the mu sic, with themes in notation, are printed on this chart. Professor Meissner ' s apparatus enables the listener to recognize the what in the music when it happens, and it promises to be a priceless aid in the instruction of music, speech, and foreign languages in the future of culture. The Stradegy Board is the name Vic Hurl, assistant football coach, has given to his brainchild. The board consists of a square sheet of crinkled steel, representative of a gridiron, and a set of non- breakable tinnite disks comparable to players. Two small magnets on the bottom of each disk hold the rings on the board. Getting his inspiration from the common checker board, Vic has been using this simplified method of demonstrating plays for almost three years now. He finds that in actual practice the Stradegy Board works three limes faster than the blackboard. Professor H. P. Cady, the discoverer of helium in natural gases, has once again come into he public eye with his new molecular weii lil machine. Praised highly in this month ' s issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society, the machine is used for the determination of relative molecular weight. of gases, substances, and vapors. The device is sensitive enough to weigh 1 300th part of the air in a lady ' s thimble. Where it ordi- narily takes an entire day to make six weighings, a daily average of one hundred can be made iri li the new molecular weight machine. JUNE 1941 393 c H A C E L L R by Glee Smith (Photo by Maurice Jackson} D E A N E M A L T T OTRIDING across the Campus with characteristic, easy speed, Deane Malott gives the impression of a man who is thoroughly happy and contented but has no time to waste. That is, in reality, a true picture of the ninth Chancellor of the University of Kansas. A Kansas man who has come back to Kansas to head the administration of his alma mater, Mr. Malott is frank, sincere, and straightforward. He has plunged into the task without hesitation, and his administration has been a model of clearness, effi- ciency, and directness that mirrors his personality. Mr. Malott spent 14 years at Harvard as a student, teacher, and assistant dean and four years in Hawaii as vice-president of a pineapple company. Through it all, however, he remained a Kansan and was always one of the most loyal of K.U. ' s alumni. During his college days Deane Malott ' s ambition was to be a country newspaper editor. I took a lot of journalism and economics and can ' t even remember in which I majored. It really doesn ' t matter anyway. The first K.U. graduate to serve as Chancellor, Mr. Malott is one man who thinks in terms of Kansas. 394 TI1K JAY II VKER JUNE THE SUMMER FRONT Expands, Goes Forward, Keeps Step With Vital atl n l by CHARLINE JOHNSON T EFENSE issues will hit K.U. this summer! With - ' an eye for the future and the national defense program, Chancellor Malott is again banging away at K.U. ' s progress and advancement. During his time on this campus, Mr. Malott has successfully changed and revised departments throughout the various schools in order to meet present-day interests and methods. Today as America ' s youth is faced with the possibility of war, Chancellor Malott has again taken over the helm. A shift in curricula for the com- ing summer courses will be in accordance with the present, new conditions. At the front is an opportunity presented to all high-school senior boys who are discouraged at the prospects of having their four year college course interrupted by the Selective Service Act. By entering the University the summer immediately following graduation and utilizing all summer sessions, a boy of normal age may complete the four-year course before reaching that susceptible age of 21. What fellow wouldn ' t be glad of the chance to get his degree before catching orders via the draft? The new program is available in all departments of the Collegeof Liberal Arts, in the School of Business, in the music department of the School of Fine Arts and the School of Education. Special arrangements are also available in the School of Engineering and Architecture. AS for the summer program itself, there will be the - - same eight weeks session for eight hours credit except in two fields anatomy and law. The medics and lawyers, who need extra time all the time, are offered special courses of two five-week terms. A few courses have been designed especially for this summer and the new interest of the why ' s and wherefor ' s of the world ' s chaos. In economics there will be a subject entitled War Economy Problems, in political science Current American Foreign Policies and Politics of Democracy, and in bacteriology - Man and Microbes. Also included is a very new and special course in the museum called Animals of the Past (for which there are no prerequisites). Other courses which are not new but are in line with the existing situations include Latin America, Modern Europe, and British Empire in the history department; the regular course in International f ' s out-grown his old clothes ai ain Iliix year Relations, a political science; and the Geography of South America. From June 11 to July 19, advanced geologists may obtain five hours credit for field work near Canyon City, Colorado out where geologic phenomena are most obvious. Elementary geology will be taught at the camp in Canyon City between July 26 and August 30. In addition to these there will be courses having no main significance except in the light of college expansion itself such as philosophy, and some art classes organized on a strictly fee basis. The health service will be opened this summer for the first time with a fee of $2.50. Also a play and several outstand- ing lectures will be included on the student ' s summer activity fee. Percy Grainger, noted pianist, will perform. As the world fights for and with armaments, K.U. prepares to arm itself against lack of understand- ing, especially of current problems in the economic and political world.

Maurice Baringer INTRODUCTION, PI JUNE 1941 397 Lloyd hslrs A MAN with strong convictions is Lloyd - - Estes, a junior in the college with a psychology major. A disbeliever in violence as a means of life, Lloyd will this summer begin a year of life in a camp for conscien- tious objectors, doing his part in national defense through this means. Although entirely self-supporting, activi- ties have taken up a substantial part of Lloyd ' s time. Besides a brief political career as candidate for freshman class president, Lloyd was one of the organizers of the Inde- pendent Student Association, has been active in the Y.M.C.A., serving as its secretary during the present school year. An interesting sidelight of Lloyd Estes ' college life is the fact that four of his five roommates during his three years on the Hill have left him to get married. Serving as best man at each of the weddings, Lloyd at times has pondered the question of establish- ing a marriage bureau. Tennis, ping-pong, bridge, and singing occupy what few idle moments Lloyd can find. In the spring semester last year, every other Sunday found him conducting church service at a small country church. Frank Arnold Victor l.iilin THAT painting of the Ziegfeld Girl you have been seeing in the newspapers lately was made by the University ' s own Vic Kalin, who recently became nationally famous when his picture won Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer ' s na- tional contest. Not on ly is Vic adept with the brush and pencil, but also he plays a hot trumpet, having been with several dance bands before and during his college days. He expects to ba with a band this summer but also is planning to get practice on the easel. As a result of the Ziegfeld Girl he recently had his first chance at professional portrait painting. Vic hopes some day to be a free lance artist but says that he will probably have to start out with an art agency. Entirely self-supporting for himself and his wife, Vic spends a great deal of time at work for the drawing and painting department of the School of Fine Arts, likes to read, but, as the typical college student, finds little time for anything but movies, studies, and sleep.

ON WITH by BETTY WEST (Photos by Hal Ruppenihal) IF it really is the meek who inherit the earth, then the bombastic cast of On With The Show is doomed to sizzle. You can call Allen Crafton ' s contribution to the Hellzapoppin ' Hall of Fame anything but gentle, but who wants to be gentle? Produced, acted, designed, costumed and nur- tured by an all-student staff, On With The Show shook the underpinnings of Fraser Theater for a three night stand May 19, 20, and 22. That skipped day in between Tuesday and Thursday was a special concession to Larry, the Glory Road man. Directed by Shirley Jane Ruble, of the depart- ment of speech Rubles, and manned by a produc- tion staff which included the talents of Jean Rrown, Ann Jones, Wayne Ruppenthal, Margie Hagstrom, Greta Gibsom, Jim Dodderidge, and Rernice Malm, the whole thing went off with paranoiac perfection. The first element of confusion was contributed by the program itself, which apparently had never had a formal introduction to the play. Some of those imaginary numbers looked enchanting . . . Dance of the Dine-A-Mite, for example. S far as plots go, plots with a commencing and an ending, On With The Show couldn ' t quite make it in high, but the nucleus of the thing seemed to be something about 6:15 on the open- ing night, the lead being tight, and other kinds of things too awful to mention. The confusion arises out of the absence of a show and goes on in the expected manner from there, incorporating a couple of suicides and a murder or three. Rasically, the play is a series of stock musical comedy acts, cleverly stuck in at right angles wherever the opportunity arises. Particularly good in their chosen professions are Rill Collinson, who not only talks loudly enough to terrify any bad theater acoustics, but even uses gestures . . . Gad!

The next Monday, an unprecedented date for Junior Proms, Bob Crosby and his brass- buttoned evening jacket gave that tony air to a successful, but not over-crowded Prom. . . . Easter, the season of rest and general repentance, found the campus deserted, with only a few hangers-on inhabiting Brick ' s, the Mill, and the Hawk. . . . Colonial gardens and what the Governor of North Carolina said to the Governor of South Carolina occupied the Pi Phis and their dates Friday night, April 18, as they danced in the Union ballroom to Harbur ' s music. . . . On the following night, Harbur played for the Relays Varsity to a crowd figuratively toasting Ruth Rodgers, Delta Gamma Relays queen, and her attendants, Mary Burchfield of Kappa Alpha Theta and Teresa Comley of Pi Beta Phi. . . . On the fraternal side were the Sigma Nu and Phi Gam parties the same weekend. The Phi Gams danced at the chapter house on Friday night, while the Sigma Nus partied in the Eldridge ballroom, both putting happy endings to a large and satisfactory Relays week-end, in spite of a threatened tornado or two. . . . The next Wednesday, Dandelion Day, street dancing and greased pigs, made campus life seem practically like State U. the way the flickers think it goes. Those new plowed areas you saw about you weren ' t the doings of moles, Mabel, only your brothern and sistern. . . . April ' s last weekend brought with it a fantastic number of parties.

Saturday night Clayton Harbur played for the Delt spring party in the Union ballroom, hitting hot licks amidst a floral background of spring flowers. On the same night, Dick Tippin played for the Watkins hall spring party, held at the hall. . . . The next Wednesday, the 30th, the Modern Choir appeared for their second performance of the year at a Wednesday night Midweek. . . . On Friday the I.S.A.

Partying also that night were the Phi Delts at the chapter house and the Phi Psis at the Lawrence Country Club, both parties held in honor of dear old Spring. . . . On Saturday night, the Sig Alfs filled the Union ballroom with blue and silver as atmos- phere for their spring party. Also on the town that night were Miller, with a party at the hall, Sigma Kappas, who danced at the house among pink and white cherry blossoms, and Triangle, who decorated their house with balloons and twisted streamers of crepe paper. Not among those missing that night were the Pi K.A. ' s who also went all out for spring with fountains and spring flowers at their chapter house. . . . That Sunday saw the beginning of the great Mothers Day drive which lasted almost four weeks, which is a long time to com- memorate Mother any way you look at it. . . . The next weekend the A.T.O. ' s gave their first spring party at their new chapter house on Friday night. Dancers gamboled in a spring casino atmosphere with Bysom ' s orchestra playing for dancing. The same night the Betas entertained at the Union ballroom at their traditional German, and the Delts had a steak- fry with dancing thrown in, some place out in the country. . . . The next weekend, the last big one before finals, the Chi Omegas and the Thetas enter- tained at their spring parties. The Thetas took over the Union ballroom, turning it into a Midsummer Night ' s Dream, while the Chi O ' s treated their guests to a World Premiere party at their house. . . . On the masculine side of the fence were the Phi Gams and the Sigma Chis, who held spring parties at their houses. The Phi Gam party was an informal sweater and skirt party, while the Sigma Chis danced on a built-out pavilion in front of the chapter house with artificial moons and flowers for accent. . . .

Composed of men and women who love singing together for its own sake, and whose tastes favor the modern idiom in music, the Choir is now in its sixth year of existence. Ross Robertson, then a College junior, founded this swing-style choral society in 1936 and continued as their very able director until this year, when the group was inherited by Peterson. The number of choristers varies from 20 to 25, with the tenors and bassi in the majority. Nearly every department of the University is represented in its ranks although only one member an art student is enrolled in the School of Fine Arts. Their fine accompanist, versatile Jack Cadden, is an engineer. Special arrangements having from four to nine parts, written this year by Peterson, give the choir an individual style of singing. Their repertoire includes a wide variety blues, sweet tones, and kick numbers. Therein lies They Sing Only the Music That They Most Enjoy Singing . . . the secret of their inimitable enthusiasm - they sing only the music that they most enjoy singing. The group likes to sing wherever there is an appreciative audience which they have no trouble in finding. Midweek mobs hear them several times during the year and they are much in demand for after-dinner programs. They traditionally have an important spot in the annual spring show and for several years have sung at the Homecoming celebration programs. Together with Lorenzo Fuller and the orchestra, the Modern Choir won praise for their thrilling performance of the melting pot cantata, A Ballad for Americans, which climaxed the winter concert of the K.U. Sym- phony Orchestra. That their fame has been more than local is shown by the fact that they were the only ensemble of their type to be selected to com- pete in the nationwide Choral Quest conducted by the Columbia Broadcasting System. The Choir has performed on the radio frequently and has occasionally taken out-of-town en- gagements, but their favorite audience and their most appreciative listeners are the students of the University of Kansas.

Book Exchange was almost simultaneous with the organiza- tion of the W.S.G.A., approximately 31 years ago. The Exchange was located first in Fraser hall, but as business increased it was moved from place to place until it reached its present location in the basement of the Memorial Union building. The Exchange at first was run on a com- mission basis. The student named his price on the book and the Exchange received a com- mission of 10 per cent for selling the book. As business became more complex, the system encountered many pitfalls. Too much book- keeping was involved, and many students re- turned for their money perhaps two or three years after the sale of the book. At this time there was a rule that only four books of the same kind could be kept on hand at one time. The Exchange was open only between semesters. As the Exchange has increased its business, various reforms have taken place. The market is no longer run on a commission basis, and it is open for business from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mon- day through Friday during the school year and the summer session. As the Book Exchange increased its profit, the W.S.G.A. voted to put up a $5,000 scholar- ship fund, the interest of which was to provide a fund for women students. TWICE a year a representative from a book company in Chicago comes to the exchange for three days to buy books which are no longer used at this University. Doris Pierce, c ' 43, was Exchange manager this year and Nadine Hunt, c ' 43, has been chosen to act as manager next year. This year another attempt to transpose the present ex- change into a cooperative one met a detour when no satisfactory plans were submitted. One thing, however, must be considered. The Exchange keeps approximately six students em- ployed throughout the school year and almost twice that number during the rush periods. by Emily Jean Milam JUNE 1941 405 k OFFICERS R.

The :its fin- ear and almost ) Kansas chapter of Scarab, national honorary architectural fraternity, has been on the campus for 20 years, and at the present time it has the largest enrollment in history. Scarab is the most prominent of the non- Greek letter collegiate fraternities, and Abydos Temple here at the University is one of its most active chapters. At the national conven- tion in Auburn, Alabama, this year there were eight men from Kansas comprising the largest delegation in attendance. Projects sponsored by the local chapter in- clude the annua l sketch exhibit and the Scarab prize problem for sophomores. The sketch exhibit is one of the preliminaries to select finalists for the Scarab national sketch exhibit. The prize problem for sophomores, in which a medal is awarded to the winning student, is a method for giving recognition to outstanding ability among the lower-classmen. Scarab also helps orient new men by presenting them with the Freshman Bible. V. F. Smith, an associate professor of archi- tecture at Kansas, has been secretary-treasurer of the national fraternity for the past 10 years. There are 14 chapters scattered throughout the United States, and the Kansas chapter has 20 members at the present time. Faculty members include : Joseph M. Kellogg, Verner F. Smith, George M.

Was Phi Psi Sonny Jones ' checkbook red when he discovered brothers, Larry Winn and Spike Robert- son, talking long distance to Kappa Virginia Elliott in Tulsa. Bad enough that they were talking to his girl friend, but the little dickenses also charged the call to the abashed one ' s account. Jeanne Anderson, Pi Phi, has taken such a motherly interest in her blond Phi Gam, Swede Olsen, that she regales the girls every meal with his progress in school. They learned that he was almost making a B in some subject or other; the name of the subject was forgotten in the general excitement. Beta Don Weldy is either an angel, the fairy god- father type, or an animated Aladdin ' s lamp, accord- ing to Barbara Koch. She went down to breakfast at 7:45 a.m. on a school morning in the Gamma Phi House, to find an orchid waiting for her. It was not Barbara ' s birthday, an anniversary, Valentine ' s Day, Christmas, Easter, or Mother ' s Day. Barb called Don to thank him and inquire the occasion. He replied: I wasn ' t sure you ' d ever had an orchid, so I just wanted to be sure that you ' d have one now. Some men just don ' t give the other fellows a chance.

Relays Queen, Ruth Rodgers, are still doing all right in spite of the fact that a black cat crossed their path the night of pin-hanging. Jack Severin, former Delt president and glamour boy, has wound up his collegiate love affairs in a fine and definite style. After four years of fearless philandering, he has wound up with nothing to show for his efforts and had to take an engaged woman to the Delt spring steak fry. Exotic and Pi Phi, Martha Alice Homer has given up almost entirely on these childish college boys and has a standing date in the City on Satureves with Medic Dean Kipp. Crowning phase of the budding romance came when Martha Alice had to perform in a play on the night of the Beta German. Larry Johnson and Sherry, of the same last name, met on a densely covered dandelion slope of Mt. Oread knives in hand. They soon learned that their grandparents are from the same town, their mothers graduated from the same high school, are the same age, and married Johnsons the same year. Larry and Sherry are both 19 and each has a brother and sister named Norman and Shirley. It was all a coincidence and directly attributable to that great, but new, institution, Dandelion Day. 408 THE JAYHAWKER WITH WOMEN ' S IMimilllMlS by HELEN MARKWELL HPHE popular spring game of softball is no sissy game for R.U. girls. They are able to slug a ball far into outfield, to peg a ball from outfield to the catcher on the home plate, and to even keep up a line of chatter toward their opponents that would confuse the best of pitchers and batters. At present Corbin Hall, Watkins Hall, and the Independent girls ' teams are leading the three divisions of the spring intramural softball tournament. The same three teams will soon be fighting it out between themselves for the championship in the horseshoe tournament too. To date they are the only teams to have won all their matches. At the close of the third season of the intramural program, Kappa Kappa Gamma is still far in the lead with 1001 points. The Phi Phis are second with 621 points, and Kappa Alpha Theta, third with 5361 2 points. TT1GHLIGHT of the final season was the Women ' s - -- Athletic Association banquet held in the Kansan room of the Union building on May 15. At the dinner awards were presented to outstanding members. Virginia Bell was awarded a trophy cup, highest honor presented to women athletes of K.U. To be eligible for the cup, Virginia had obtained 2000 individual points for participation in school sports, and was recommended by the W.A.A. awards committee. Evelyn Harriman, Gladys Bitter, and Evelyn Kinney received K.U. blazers. They had a total of 1350 points each. K.U. chenille letters were pre- sented to those having at least 600 points: Mildred Wells, Alta Bingham, Betty Louise Harman, Jean Hinshaw, Fannie Mae Kerns, Phyllis Struble, Mary Beth Dodge, Shirley Irwin, Mary Lee Chappie, Betty Lou Green, and Emily Jean Milam. A FTER the banquet new officers for the coming - - year were installed: president, Lura Smith; vice-president, Mary Beth Dodge; secretary, Jeanne Merrill; treasurer, Kathryn Schaake; point system manager, Mildred Rader; business manager, Anna Jane Hoffman; manager for hockey, Mary Brower; basketball, Dorothy Burkhead; swimming, Peggy Davis; baseball, Joan Perry; and minor sports, Betsy Dodge. Following the installation, 25 new members were initiated into the organization. Saturday, April 26, the 19th annual High School Play Day was sponsored by the W.A.A. Kathryn Schaake, sophomore in the college, was in charge of the day ' s activities. One hundred and seventy-five students and teachers from 11 surround- ing high schools attended the meet. Girls were divided into 16 different color teams, each team participating in hit pin baseball, soccer kick ball, deck tennis, volleyball, and ping-pong matches. Individual challengers gathered points for their teams by competing in darts, shuflleboard, acrobatic stunts, races, tennis, horseshoes, and jack stones. The 11 schools represented at the Play Day were Rosedale, Argentine, Shawnee-Mission, Wyandotte, lola, Leavenworth, Atchinson, Lawrence, Oread, the junior college of Kansas City, Kansas, and Ottawa. Persistent rainy weather this spring has made it impossible to get past the third round of scheduled games in horseshoes, baseball, and tennis as the Jayhawker goes to press. SENIORS!

Just a parting word for gradu- ates hunting jobs for want of good grooming, an interview was lost; for want of correct clothes, a job was lost; for want of intelli- gence about grooming and clothes, a career was lost. O.K., girls, it ' s up to you and good luck ! Five Steps and a Failure (Continued from Page 387) this time you must appear as a beat out character. Cough loudly, utter pained groans, wheeze and sneeze, stagger, etc., as you hand him your theme. He will, no doubt, rush to aid you (if so, relax and feel sure of a D). When you feel that he has reached the climax of his alarm, it is the correct time to make your depar- ture. (Don ' t forget to make a pained exit restrain yourself un- til you reach the hall.) With this step out of the way, it is O.K. to resume all former social activities at once that is, if you have lost out on any. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 1941 TO K.U.

Loretta Osborn and Jerry Buehler show up now and then, too. The JAYHAWKER is expe- riencing even greater activity now that spring finds so many people languidly strolling around in that neighborhood. Eleanor Crosland, Edna Givens, Dorothy Teachenor, Norma Tibbets and Peggy Roberts stamp it as Hangout Number One ... as do Spud Bunn, Don Morton, Larry Smith and Jack Eckles. On With the Show (Continued from Page 398) whose dancing is strictly in the upper brackets. Lorenzo Fuller and Warren Littlejohn contributed what was probably the most professional display of the evening with their respectively elegant singing and dancing. Fuller was also good in an Omar Khayyam skit. Joe Nelson, carrying on the old family traditions, lends his A-l voice to the part of an outraged husband, outraged only because he can ' t get rid of his wife. The lad who got the loudest laugh was little Honey, Ben Mantz, who showed with finesse and wild abandon how the home life of a dictator goes, complete with teeth gnashing. Also worthy of mention and a a seat in the village stocks was Jack Coyle, who as the Rev. Ivor S. Hope, kept the whole thing clean in the Ivory Soap manner from the fifth row seat in the audience. A sawmill scene, taken from ' 39 ' s production of Cum Laude. is fast becoming a classic on this campus, and could probably be used for years to come. Most disappointing part of the show was the music, but, gleeps, guy, you can ' t have everything! Thank You! As producers of The Jayhawker during the 1940-41 season we thank the able Jay- hawker staff for the en- thusiastic yet business- like cooperation which we have enjoyed ... it was a pleasure to work with you.

It ' s a good idea to have an oc- casional class on the third floor of Fraser. The view through the windows is interesting. 5. A good way to get your lessons is to take a date to the library. On second thought I qualify this: One way to get to the library is to have a date take you. These facts have been set down in the order in which they occurred to me and without any prolonged cogitation in calling them up. The point is no student need fret be- cause a technicality prevents him from breaking honest bread at the senior breakfast. Like the carnival sideshow there is something in college for everyone.

More than 40 graduating classes will be having reunions. There must be letters written, classes of from 40 to 900 students contacted; eating, sleeping, and meeting places arranged. Who is in charge of all this work? Once again, it is the Alumni Association. Although those heavy files of information in the basement of Ad look forbidding and uninterest- ing, they are perhaps the source of more pleasure to a larger number of people than anything else on the Hill! An envelope is on file for every person ever having attended K.U. As the Association subscribes to a clipping bureau, any information that appears in print where the school ' s name is mentioned is sent to the office here for filing. If you are married, the notice will soon find its way to your envelope in the basement of Ad. If you com- mit murder, the whole story will be on file for future reference. If you die, a red inked deceased will be stamped on your envelope. Whether you are keeping a diary or not, the Alumni Association will soon be doing it for you. Almost every student here on the Hill knows Fred Ellsworth. If they don ' t know him, they have heard of him. A graduate of the department of journalism in 1922, he has served as Alumni Secretary since 1924. Fred is the editor of the Graduate Magazine, an Alumni Association publication coming out nine times a year. Every new student who has his transcript on file with the registrar before school starts in the fall automatically re- ceives the September issue which is annually dedicated to him. Through the year, this periodical is primarily designed to inform each alumnus of the activities of his alma mater and the actions of his fellow alumni.

There is nothing quite like a K.U. rally to send chills up your spine with its famous I ' m a Jayhawk, Crimson and Blue, and Rock Chalk Chant. There is an unde- finable something about the Uni- versity of Kansas that makes its Alumni Association successful. There is a reason for K.U. gradu- ates organizing clubs in every state in the Union, for writing and com- ing back home to Mt. Oread from the Orient, the Philippines, and Europe. It must be the thrill of doing something for that which is dear to you. It must be the thrill of knowing that you were one of the 31,000 and hadn ' t been wrong! Dandy ' s Dandelion (Continued from Page 365) of the Men ' s Student Council. Captains were appointed to lead the posy-pulling drive. The field marshal arranged for one boys ' team and one girls ' team to work together on an assigned plot of ground. He promised prizes of ice cream and movie tickets to the pair of teams bagging the most dandelions. When April 23 came, students, instead of sleeping late and cutting 8:30 classes, rose bright and early and were in the field of action by 9 o ' clock. All morning the 85 teams were digging dandelions, packing them in burlap sacks, and throw- ing in a few pieces of scrap iron for good luck on the scales. Sacks were hauled to weighing-in headquarters in front of Fowler shops, then dumped out on the weed heap that grew higher every minute. Later computations showed that about 48 tons of yellow posies had met the knife. The little elf Dandy wandered down Oread avenue at 1 o ' clock and wondered why he didn ' t see any dandelions. He felt gay. Students were gay, too. They followed their morning of manual labor with street dancing and a carnival. On the midway, in front of Fowler shops, were many penny- gobbling concessions. Campus pin money went for betting on a turtle race sponsored by men ' s Pan- Hellenic; a wrestling bout, tum- bling exhibition, and beefy-beauty chorus sponsored by K-club; a putting green set up by Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A.; cokes and ice cream bars sold by the Jay Janes. Dandelion royalty honors were be- stowed upon Mary Lou Randall and Bob Holmer. Together their teams had uprooted 8,150 pounds of dandelions on their plot around Commons hall (cadaver building). Followed a greased pig chase, with 35 fleet-footed men hot on the porker ' s hoofs. The pig was let loose twice since the crowd wouldn ' t give him a sporting chance on the first try. On the initial run the man who bagged the squealer was George Cheat- ham. The second chase was longer. Herb Curran made the catch. That night Dandy crawled up on a dandelion which he happened to find snuggled in a corner by Fraser hall. He looked all around him, but he couldn ' t see another dandelion anywhere. He laughed and laughed. Get the Facts and You ' ll Get a FORD SALES AND SERVICE William - Roberts Motor Co. 609 MASS. PHONE 278 Auto Wrecking Junk Co.

Merchants who advertise in the Jayhawker are boosting the University through their efforts to give K.U. students a bigger and better magazine. During 1941 Jayhawker Advertising hit a new high.
