OCTOBER 1910 TF it takes all kinds of people to make a world, then it cer- tainly takes many kinds of people to make a magazine. Of course, we ' re speaking of the JAYHAWRER. This first issue is crammed with the work of 40 contributors ... all kinds of articles, pictures, and art work for the many kinds of persons who either borrow, buy or subscribe to the magazine. For instance, WASHINGTON ON DOWN, Ernest K. Lindley ' s brilliant editorial, should inter- est anyone who isn ' t afraid to think. We ' ll go farther and say it should be forced on the optic nerves of those timid or indif- ferent about pressing current issues. Then Ken Lewis ' sparkling YOU WHO! JEHUDI describes men ' s rush week in a way as new as the Old Testament and yet worth counting as Hill history. Mike Stewart and Chuck Elliott aren ' t afraid to write C.A.A. TAKES OFF and R.O.T.C., THEN WHAT? straightforwardly. They have admirably avoided the propa- ganda of puff and fluff which usually characterizes military articles during periods such as the last two months. Then the spinal column of the magazine photographs ! We ' d gladly place some of them be- side the shots in great national periodicals. Ed Garich ' s intra- mural personalities, Maurice Jackson ' s handl- ing of the W illkie and Roosevelt propagandists, and Art Wolf ' s blackboard shot receive our editorial gold stars.

Besides, you can never tell who you ' ll bump into around the old stomping grounds. First, we ' ll drop off at the new super Union Fountain. It ' s a cinch there will be room for us. The Pi Phis and Phi Belts can ' t fill all that space. Look at the neat padded cells in the corners. As I live and breathe, if it isn ' t that new Pi Phi, Patty Duncan, with Jay (B.M.O.C.) Watkins, the Sigma Chi flash. In that booth over there is Trueheart up to his old occupation of accompany- ing his Kappa Sig brothers on their coke dates. Pretty soon you ' ll see Mary Jean Miller come in with Jack Homer of Phi Psi fame. Come on, we ' re off to Bricks, the old faithful for dance inter- missions and cutting classes. Here too, we find that the painters have wielded a mean brush. Heard a lot about the new basement room wonder what goes on there. As usual the place is overrun with Alpha Chis and D.U.

Then we mustn ' t forget that no trip across the Hill is complete without a visit to the Cottage. We ' re sure to run into a bunch of A.O. Pis, A.D. Pis, Phi Psis, and Pi-K.A. ' s.

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.
