Oread to submit their offerings. Our University is made up of men and women seeking an education, and we deem it worthwhile to show the student body the accomplishments in the field of literature of which K.U. students are capable. Perhaps it may be labeled a shift from the worldly to the ethereal, but it seems to be more in sympathy with a college pub- lication. The purpose of this 54th volume of the Iaylmwker is to give you an analytical view into the life of stu- dents on the campus of the University of Kansas. We want to entertain you, to interest you, and if possible to stimulate you. If you don't want to be stimulated, you should not be here. Aside from its present value, the ftzylmwker aims at giving you a permanent record of what you are doing and thinking while in college. We hope that twenty years from now, a glance through the Jay- lmwker will refresh your memory of the attitudes which you and your colleagues took on issues which we hope by then will be history. Rather than giving you a kaleidoscopic news reel of the University of Kansas, we are attempting to put it under the micro- scope and see what makes it tick. Many old features such as the gossip column, the social wheel, and the fashion notes are gone. Per- haps they are not gone for good, but they are gone for this issue. We recommend highly the reading in this first issue: Bill StaFford's poem, From the Sound of Peace is a thrilling piece from the pen of last year's Carruth contest winner. Clarence Peter- son has reached up into the professional realm with his Tale of the Green Beaver. Stan Kreider in his Story of a Building paints a beautiful word picture of a historic K.U. landmark. Smile at John Conard's expose on Who Blows the Whistle? and swell up with pride at our guest conductor, Bob Maplesden, who gives this magazine and you, its readers, a pat on the back. john Waggoner's One Night of Love may not be what the title implies . . . some will find it in- teresting others-amusing.

Wander through the well written Union Forever with Verlyn Norris . . . a story written for the outsider by an insider. There are some of the usual personalities both professors and students whom you should meet and know better. Also contained, is a detailed description by Fred Eberhardt of the administration which makes this machine go. The Whitney vs. Price editorial debate makes excellent reading for the thinking student, and donlt miss Spencer Burtis's ditty on the Fighting jay- hawkersf' They have done a good job . . . these so-called contributors. They are the most important part of this magazine and they have come through with flying colors. 1 S THE JAYHAWKER lHlHl SHHH Hl Hlllllllll HllHl lHlSS T HAS been tradition throughout the years that the college was the citadel of intellectual free- dom. With the rise of freedom of thought Amer- icalwas settled by men who left the Old Country because they could not worship and think as they wished. Americans have always treasured their right not only to think as they wished, but to speak, write, and assemble as they wished. Today this cherished heritage is in danger. Today it seems that you can say what you wish, as long as it conforms to what your superiors wish. The danger of this to us as students lies in the fact that professors may be choked off from preaching intellectual free- dom for fear they lose their jobs. With the increasing pressure of our turbulent times, more and more will sentiment stand' opposed to freedom of speech and the freedom of assemblage. This is an unhealthful situation for a shrine of in- tellectual freedom. If the people of America can not speak out in their own schools . . . they can speak out nowhere. If the professors of this University are not allowed to think and speak what they wish, then this is no longer worthy of being called a University. In this great democracy which contains so many un- democratic elements, the college is one place which must maintain the democratic characteristic in order to preserve faith in the name-democracy. Perhaps faculty men have been tired for other reasons than their heresy. But if a vote were taken of their students, a majority should effect the reten- tion of their services. The students are the ones for whom this University was built. They have, by far, the best means of evaluating the material which a professor can put out. Some schools allow their students to vote at the end of each term on whether or not certain professors are to be retained. Have Q . . like ecfbllcw students on this campus ever been consulted before an instructor has been sacked? In a period of the unofficial curtailment of our civil liberties the teacher is the most pitiable creature immaginable. To be fired means the blacklist and the perpetual cold shoulder from any other educa- tional institutions at which he might seek employ- 1'I1CI1t. In the past the University of Kansas has been able to retain men on Mt. Oread whose abilities would bring far higher salaries at richer schools. These men stayed because they felt a thrill of freedom at K.U. which they might miss elsewhere. Regardless of the cause of the loss of this blessing, we are losing it. Perhaps the cause of this reaction Hows from the conservative people of Kansas. If this is so, the stu- dent body can only beg that the administration throw its weight in the balance to preserve intellectual freedom and secure for us a truly liberal education. If we are to be a free nation, we must insure freed om of thought to the citizens. If freedom is the cause of the strength of this great nation, let us maintain that freedom and enjoy that strength. We are not a nation at war. We are not a totalitarian nation-or are we? We as a nation and, especially, we as students, have a right to demand that the men to whom we come for education can speak their mind. Our campus is not cursed with those who organize bloody revolu- tions. Even the most radical professors believe that the American nation is the most fortunate in the world. But only a fool would say that America is perfect . . . that there is nothing wrong in our country. In the face of the stifling of intellectual individual- ism can we as students expect our teachers to speak OCTOBER 1941 9 up against abuses? Can we as students allow pro- fessors to be fired simply because they believe in so noble an ideal as that war is evil. If a man believes that war is evil under any circtunstances, should he be fired and deprived of the means of livelihood. It is time that the great sleeping giant,'the student body of the University of Kansas awoke and de- manded its rightsg those same rights which we may soon be called upon to defend with our lives. The gifts of freedom and democracy have been dropped in our laps. But these gifts, like all gifts, carry with them a responsibility which must be as- sumed in order to preserve the possession. Nothing worthwhile is enjoyed without giving. In the case of the preservation of our rights, the giving assumes the character of being alert to the maintenance of the creed of intellectual freedom. Support this creed and we cn preserve our mental integrity and our right to call ourselves possessors of a liberal education. The student body as a whole is also to be blamed. How can they sit in apathy and not rise up in arms at some of the action on the part of the University ofiicials. The University of Georgia recently was in an uproar in which the students protested en masse against the politics in the administration of the school. Perhaps we have not an identical problem, but if the student body does not remain alert similar evil conditions will arise. An alert and sober thinking student body has the right to know the reason behind administrational moves which affect it directly. And on the other hand, an administration which recognizes such rights has the right to demand an alert and sober minded student body. A democracy is built on a fundamental respect for man as a thinking individual, and we assume that a thinking student will be strong enough to follow his line of thought with action. The heritage is yours, you jayhawkers, our school has been blessed with this freedom which is essential to a liberal education . . . but you as students must assume the responsibility of preserving that freedom in order to enjoy such an education. We preach not for a militant mob clamoring at torchlight demonstrations. Rather do we prefer a group of students jealous of their rights to the extent that no moves of the administration which might result contrary to the student advantage may go by unquestioned. You have taken too many things lying down which may make for an undesirable situation in the future. You should rise up in protest to demand a free Kan- san . . . you should do all in your power to secure a footing for such worthwhile projects as the at- tempted Review which suffered so sudden a death. You should question any advance in the payment of activity fees. In short you should demand to know the cause and the result of each action taken by school officials which might reliect on your own economic situation or on your chances of securing a liberal education. Such action should be encouraged by the adminis- tration. A student body which is on its toes keeps an administration on its toes . . . and vice versa. Such a student body is as essential to a good Univer- sity as is the required democratic administration. These two desirable elements will combine to establish once more the University of Kansas as a citadel of intellectual freedom, a home of truly demo- cratic characteristics, and an educational plant which turns out excellent examples of intelligent and broad minded citizens. This is the aim of all educational institutions . . . or at least should be, and it is only in this way that the educational institution can fill a worthwhile part in the life of our nation. Our appeal is to the students as well as the faculty and is made with the noble ideal of a liberal educa- tion in mind. Can the University of Kansas answer the chal- lenge? If not, we no longer deserve to be called an educational institution. TIIE STUDENT DIAGAZINE. . . .

Q 2 175010 179' fackfon OCTOBER 1941 11 Cn Becoming Jayhewlcers AYHAWKERIZATIONH of around 775 fresh- men neophytes each fall is no small task, but being one of those 775 to be ujayhawkerizedv is not easy either! Freshmen aren't as green as they used to be. They no longer believe the Student Union building to be a form of closed shop. They already know the A Cappela sings without a piano. No, the big problem isn't bleaching out the green in freshman, itis preaching in the spirit of Kansas! Many new students come here with some mighty false ideas about college life. It's quite a setback to some of them to find out college isn't all rah, rah! A great deal of that country club atmosphere went out either with the racoon coat or the beginning of the news reel. The jolt of the actual thing sets most freshmen to thinking. High school was never like this. Rush week was never like this. There's never been any- thing like this! University life is different, there is no question about that. It is for this reason that the University of Kansas has a freshmen orientation week-a week designed to help each new man during the change he goes through ON BECOMING A JAY- I-IAWKERY A feeling of affection for the old state U. gen- erally develops in a boy or girl even long before high school graduation. Maybe the folks went to K.U., maybe they went to Manhattang or perhaps the track team or high school band had been down for the Relays. Whatever the reason is, most stu- dents come here ready and willing to be trans- formed from a Podunk Piratel' into a Kansas Jay- hawker. To facilitate this transformation, every person on the Hill has a job to do. A propaganda war launched from the oflices of the registrar and men's student advisor opens up with a lively spring campaign. No less than twelve items, ranging all the way from self-addressed post cards to actual magazines, find their way during the course of the summer to each prospective student. The freshmen are encouraged to do everything from ZW lean Ummm being on time for meetings to buying their JAY- HAWKERS when they pay their fees. Time for arrival in Lawrence for the opening of school comes before the student realizes it. Packing for an around-the-world voyage has nothing on the packing the average freshman does to come to college. The neophyte's mind is a maze of uncertainty as he reaches Lawrence to begin his first big year in a real University. What will classes be like? Will the Chancelor like me? What will I say when I meet Helen Johnson? Will I feel out of place with- out a convertible? Needless to say, these questions aren't long unanswered. Men and women's rush week is the first big bombshell to burst over Mount Oread at the start of each school year. Freshmen boys drag out their National Honor Society pins and clear up their athlete's foot to make an impression. Freshmen girls drag out an old skirt, buy a new sweater, and pick out a pair of pearls. A source of fear and apprehension to most was the psychological examination required for entrance. I. Q.'s were given a good work-out in something like a four-hour session. The University administration believes in a gradual but firm preview to the horrors of finals. Physical examinations gave the freshman his first taste of the line If nothing else is learned at K.U., it is a certainty that the student learns the art of patience. Well, anyway, he learns to wait. The physical examination is trying, but necessary. Every- thing is expected, and everything inspected! Next on the program came registration in the basement of Frank Strong. There were lines again, even longer lines, but this time you had your clothes on. Instruction regarding neatness is always given, and the conscientious freshmen spend hours printing their card strings. Highlight and lowlight of regis- tration is having your picture taken. Everyone always resolves that next year he will be ready,' for the take, but next year never comes. A great deal of time is spent from here on out concealing your por- trait from the librarian and your classmates. lax W' l 1 12 .-. -' Jr-71 1.1-bi 9-'sx..... 4-.av-was--fn: The meetings with the respec- tive deans throw the first light upon what college is really about. The scene darkens when the freshmen are told that they are here at school to study. This is quite a shock to some of them. The familiar cry of fill that group originated at one of these meetings and has thrived ever since. A There's nothing quite like en- rollment. The ease with which you surpass it depends entirely upon the Fates. That is, whether your last name begins with a letter that enrolls early or not. Late enrollment can be endured only if the right attitude is taken -the attitude of I don't give a . . The freshmen are caught coming and going, howeverjwith one simple decision to make. They have their choice of either afternoon or Saturday classes. D Payment of fees is a necessary factor in becoming a Kansas J ay- hawker. freshmen, unfamiliar with this angle of college were soon well initiated to it as labora- tory, uniform, quiz paper, and general taxation fees and assess- ments mounted higher. Gener- ally at this point, the freshmen write home. Financial insult to injury came this year with the additional 59 cents for federal tax. Spiritual rejuvenation in the manner of 'making freshmen K.U. conscious was by far the most important part of the orien- tation week. N e w students learned what it meant to thrill to the chanting of the famous Rock Chalk. They learned of ' the struggles of their illustrious founders. They learned the 'mean- ing of being a Kansas jayhawkerl -mn, .. Suchem Trump lights torch . . . -, . The relay . . . Carry on, class of '45! OCTOBER 1941 Climax to freshmen week came with the eighteenth annual new student induction in Me- morial stadium. It was in this ceremony that some 900 students were ofhcially incorporated into the University as energetic new jayhawkers. Alumni, upper class- men come back year after year to witness the re-enaction of the torch race from the Rock Chalk cairn. The most disinterested freshmen cannot help being im- pressed and inspired. Young jayhawkers, you have accepted some mighty important obligations in coming to this Uni- versity. lt is to you that the burn- ing torch of wisdom has been hurled. It is you who are to keep it burning for those who are to come after you. In the words of Hannah Oliver, oldest living graduate of the University, It may be that there are those among you who will extend the borders of light, who will dis- cover principles of mechanics and economics that will lighten the burdens of men who toilg scien- tific facts that shall satisfy man's craving to know more of the Universe, which from its farthest bounds has always held out beckoning hands to himg or some as yet unknown spiritual truths that will ennoble and bless the race. The hope, the faith, and the destiny of the University of Kan- sas is in you embryo Jayhawkers. Will you leave our alma mater greater than you found it? You are now on Mt. Oread . . . prove your right to be here. This is your challenge, these are the responsibilities you inherit ON BECOMING JAYHAVUKERS! pbotor I1 5' Ruppentbal ll .

'Maplesden HIS fayhawleer of yours is unique. Among all the thousands of college publications, there is no other just like it, none which covers the same field, or in the same manner. The fayhafwher is a substantial part of that larger unique-ness which is K.U. Here it is still only mid-fall, much too early to be working up an appetite for Thanksgiving, and with the make-or-break part 'of the football season just coming up. Yet already you've been reading in your fayhawher about the earlier games, about rush week and registration and the first moves of the politicos and all that early hurly-burly, that does so much to set the pace of the university year. You have pictures, interpretation, and comment- a record which is yours Tor- life. Yet it has been put into your hands while the events still echo and the personalities are which, he thought for a moment about OctobCr lst, would be sheerly, starkly, simply impossible. So' this magazine-yearbook isn't a novelty any more, but an established institution already well be- yond the average age of periodicals. Then why, if it has such advantages over conventional yearbooks Cand its timeliness is only one of manyb why hasn't its form been generally adopted elsewhere? Well, for one thing, K.U. did it hrst, so . . . period. You didn't know that universities and col- leges were like that? Oh, but my dear! But yes! CAnd K.U. can be like that, too.D This particular inhibition should wear off some time during the next decade. And for another thing, a few did try it. In fact, in a sense, two or three of these survive, or did last year, but they are not really of the genus, because still freshly vivid and interesting. And this will happen four more times through the year. That isn'r true at Manhattan, or Columbia, or Norman or Lincoln or Ames. lt isn't true on any other campus in America. The students at other universities and colleges must wait until next May to get their year- books, when most of the events of fall and winter will have an em- balmed look. The hot wind of finals will be blowing. So, after a hasty glance through, the books will be laid aside for future attention which, to a large extent, they'll never get. This is the ninth autumn in which K.U. students have riiiied the leaves of their jayhaioher while there are still some leaves on Mount Oreadls trees. Jim Surface is the ninth editor of the fayhawher in its magazine form, and he is looking at his first issue with considerably more amaze- ment than his readers, as a miracle - AJ manager of the college ile- parlment of ihe Burger-Bairrl Engraving' Co., Mr. Maplenlerz helped wilh the planning and proiluction of the jayhawker from 1926 through to the spring of 1941,' ar well ax many other col- lege puhlicationx in the Middle lVe.rt. He har recently gone into another line of work. For ihe part lhree yearx, he har been criiic of college annualr for the National Scholartic Prem Arrociation. He contribute! regularly to the Scho- larlic Eiiilorf and thir year rlirectr the program of the yearhooh .rec- tion of the convention of the Armciaieil Collegiate Prem. . T they appear only twice a year, which is merely a semi-annual and not a mag- azine-yearbook. As for the rest, hav- ing tried it for a year or at most two, they hastily returned to their conven- tional yearbooks. Again, why? Well, partly because they failed to discern the true in- wardness of the Jayhawheriv form, the subtle core of its philosophy as a college record. They missed either on the side of being too magazine-ish, so that the resulting publication did not give the impression of being a valuable, permanent recordg or on the other side, sticking to yearbook for- mat and spirit so slavishly that the results looked merely like the old annual, divided into several sections. But above all, they returned to the conventional book because they found the magazine yearbook a la Iayhawher much more diflicult for their staffs. Too diiiicult, they felt. And perhaps they were right-for OCTOBER 1941 their staffs. There isn't any doubt of it-it is more difficult, for several reasons. The agony of getting something into print reaches its height and depth when you put it together, or go to press. Whereas a yearbook has this ordeal once, the fayhazwker staff struggles through it five times, at intervals of six or seven weeks. While the individual issue is smaller, the form and material are more difficult to work with, and the pressure of time is far greater. Furthermore, Iazylamuker materials, styles, layouts are far more varied than in year books. More of the material is original, unpatterned. It has to be-or, at any rate, it is-better-than-average fitted, though with less time for the trimming and stretching and basting. Each issue has to be balanced for types of content. A much larger group of people participate, in various ways, in the creation of the Irzyhazwker- and if you think that makes it easier, you just don't know about student publications. . Those are less than half of the reasons why the Ipzybrzfwkefr form is difficult. For instance, it doesn't begin to touch on the business manager's added prob- lems as to selling advertising for five issues, and get- ting copy and cuts, and collecting, or distributing five issues to subscribers, plus binders, or the shorter schedule for picture-taking, or the high pressure clicking at the engravers and printers. But they ought to be enough to back up the asser- tion that the jaylmwker exacts from its staff much more than the usual yearbook or magazine, in time and devotion and skill and straight thinking and alertness and just plain dogged endurance. There have been eight jazylamuker staffs in a row-and I am confident that there is now a ninth-who had those 15 qualities, who had what it takes to makethe jay- lmwker. If that isn't a tribute to the greatness of the Uni- versity which produced them Cand incidentally to the shrewdness of the Board which chose theml, what do you want? The Rose Bowl? Yes, I suppose you do. But I'd rather have the fzzybrzwker. Year in and year out, it's a greater achievement. This isn't the article that Jim Surface asked me to write. He wanted me to set down some of the in- cidents, dramatic or funny or tragi-comic and all human, that I knew in fifteen years of working with Iaylorzwkerx. But too many of those incidents are too personal to put into print, or have flavor only to those who know the Irzylmwker from the viewpoint of the kitchens where it is cooked. However, no tribute to the Iayhpzwker of today can be given without thought of the editor and busi- ness manager who introduced its magazine format to a dazed but definitely and pleasantly intrigued Mount Oread. They were the bold test pilots who took the radical experiment off the ground, up to the strato- spher, and safely back to land again. So skillfully and courageously did they do their work that, while each new model has shown improvement, there has not yet CKing's Xlb been a crack-up. Every Izzy- hrzwker staff owes them the same debt that any trans- port or military pilot will tell you he owes to the test pilots who first flew his ship. Quentin Brown was the editor. Today he is an attorney and the executive secretary of the State High- way Commission, known and respected in political circles throughout the state, unusually young for such a position and reputation. In those days, he was such a power in Hill politics as few campuses ever see.

What is it? Why it's rush week . . . the one thou- sand nine hundred and forty-first since the birth of Christ. If you are a sophomore, no one is good enough to live with you. Rushees either have too much hayseed or oil in -their hair to suit you. If you are a junior, you begin to relent and really look for worthwhile things in a pros- pective brother, but if you are a senior, you have long ago given up on your own judgment of men and you decide that any one who can pay his house bill is plenty good enough for your white-one. A shot in the arm . . . that's what it is . . . new blood to take the place of the 'spring departing seniors. Rush week is good antidote for double chins, cokosis Cknown to medical men as weakening of the eye brow muscles due to lack of enough pauses to refreshb, and the dread evil, fresh air, which is most prevalent when the college man has to go to class and give up and hour of tobacco time. This pleasant three-day idyl is also an intellectual stimu- lant. Never does the rushing fail to strike up an inspir- ing conversation with the rushed. Sometimes they have even surpassed the plane in which the rushing has told everything Cthat is everything goodb about himself and reached up into the realm of discourse on the weather. Even good things must come to an end, however. And the three days of bliss . . . for ignorance' is bliss,'and what is more blissed than rush week . . . abruptly ends with the ominous burp of the University whistle.

By the way of constructive destruction, many were the complaints on the innovation of orientation in rush week this year. It goes back to the old saying that you can't do two things at once. The dissatisfied were the fraternity men who, instead of being able to high pressure a pledge, found themselves bound to cart him up to a convocation, etc. The plan was instituted in order to insure that the fraternity pledges would participate in the activities which the University had planned to make the freshman feel at home. Both sides have a case. Rush week did not officially start until after the psy- chological exams were completed. Then all rushees met in the Kansan room of the Memorial Union building for another new innovation. After receiving the age-old in- structions that each rushee must be a good little boy and faithfully present himself at each house where he had a first date, the Men's Panhellenic Council took charge. All dates were registered by secretaries and copies of each date were furnished to every fraternity. As the rushee left the Kansan room, his first date was called out and a member of that fraternity stepped forth and started his chapter- house speelf' Some knew what they were going to pledge before they came to Lawrence. Others had been there for three days and still did not know what to pledge. Still others knew what they wanted to pledge, but they did not know whether or not they could afford the privilege of a fraternity. Proud is the male that his rushing season brings forth no seige of tears and hysterical emotions such as is attributed to the fairer sex, but perhaps the same pressure assumes different forms. It is interesting to study the action and reaction to a Qshall we say, shady,D deal. If the X boys pull a swift one on the Y boys and secure the pledge of Z, then the X boys consider themselves clever, while the Y boys consider them something unprintable. While if the situa- tion were reversed, the adjectives would likewise switch. All in all, all Greeks told all comets just what a great crew they had, and how deficient the other l'frats were in this same respect. Each house made it quite clear that the boy's decision would probably shape the rest of his life. Each house wanted the privilege of redeeming the soul of the pledge who was inevitably lingering on the brink of chaos. , This was the beginning . . , the ending was the pledg- ing of 284 men by 17 fraternities. The incidents which killed the intervening time between the start and stop will never injure eternity because they are now forgotten. The open season on Percival, Butch, and Joe and their in betweensu has been closed. Everyone is thankful.

As I meandered through my dream world one day, a vision ap- peared to me. From some part of the intelligible world a voice said, ouwx ovuyf' And I discovered the origin of rush week. It was long, long ago. Before your time and mine. Even before the good old days. It was in the what- is-the-basic-substratum-of-all-phenomena-days of Soc- rates and the philosophic round table. In fact, it all eventually Cso the vision goesb works down to a couple of practically prehistoric, but truly Aphrodisian queens Cthen known as goddessesD. These two seventh century B.C. femme fatales were swinging through the colonnades on that fateful day in September, sipping a couple of Allen specials. The Grecian skies were blue overhead, the gods were smiling benevolently on the two specimens of beauty in the ancient world. Suddenly, Mabel, the fair-haired one, gasped and turned pale with horror. For on the fingernails of her erstwhile friend, she had glimpsed a flash of color -a brilliant fire chariot red color. Dost thou not know, quoth the maiden tremblingly, that thou art flouting the gods above by thy rashness? Thou hast been stained by the vineyard of Bacchus, and shall be punished for thy iniquityf, Haughtily replied Gert: Fie! It is an entrancing idea recently conceived by me and if thou find it sinful in thine eyes, get thee hence. So Mabel got hence. She shunned her erstwhile friend, and distinguished herself in the annals of history as the first Cat. She initiated a whispering campaign detrimental to the character and reputation of audacious Gert. She rallied to her cause other Athenian maids who feared the wrath of the gods and stood for tradition. ' But Gert wasn't asleep with her ringer nail polish on. No, sir! She got up the old fight and started a whisper shooting right back at Mabel. She applied Socrates' current inductive argument method and put the squitch on all her buddies to join up for an all-out Pro-Finger-Nail Polish feud. Gert and Mabel got to organizing so thoroughly, they soon had all the toga girls divided into two WHMlN THE JAYHAWKER camps, and identified as Local No. 576 and 254 respectively. The girls really worked up the old esprit de corps. Words Hew back and forth. Smoke filled the air. They put the pressure on the girls in the Coliseum to join up the gang. They sent smart clay invitations on the best Babylonian lapis-lazuli to the non-union girls to pledge to the cause. Even the old standby, Britannica, got the idea when it spake, in earlier years the sharp rivalry among or- ganizations fostered clannishness and led to much bitterness of feeling. As the months and years went by, however, the memory of Gert and Mabel began to fade away, and the Grand Old Finger Nail Issue was all but forgotten. But the followers of those two lovely damsels continued putting on the pressure and send- ing invitations. And it's still going on. They're still putting on pressure, feuding, fighting, bickering, and pledgingf Ever since Mabel and Gert, however, it has been fairly confusing as to what the specific aims of such fraternal organizations are. For instance, the Fratres Pontifices, number one fraternity of the twelfth cen- tury, endowed themselves with the virtues of reli- gious societies for pious practices and benevolent objects. Rational thought rebels at the idea of drawing from that worthy statement of principles the development of today's societal brotherhoods. And in the eighteenth century, reliable sources still draw from the realm of idealism the definition of fraternities as intended for the promotion of litera- ture and of friendly discourse. Today, social life forms the basic reason d'etre of all fraternities. True, the Womens Panhellenic Creed sets forth that fraternity women stand for preparation for service through the character build- ing inspired in close contact and deep friendship of fraternity life . . . and opportunity to prepare for wide and wise human service. But is this what 239 women had in mind last September 10, 1941? Definitely not. They remem- bered how proud Suzie was of the little Kite pin she wore home last Christmas vacation. They thought of how that horrible little Molly Somebody was miraculously transfigured into a Thing of Beauty after the Crescent clique gathered her into the fold. They thought of all the dates they would write in their K-Book, under the wing of the Lyre bearers, They considered how impressed the crowd back home would be by a Gower Key. OCTOBER 1941 And as they pondered on these things, they prepared for The Ordeal. Some were confident, some were afraid, some knew what they wanted, all were just a little fright- ened. So to the great god Alum they offered supplications and placed themselves in the hands of Fate. It's always confusing, but this year accentuated the usual state. Many girls had conflicting rush and orientation dates. They were required to keep all dates, and so they could stay at each house for only a short time. From sorority house to convocation, meeting, examination, or induction, moments of relaxation were rare and treasured. The rushees talked about the weather, and their boy friends, while the actives talked about the pledges, the weather and their boy friends. Everyone talked. The one unforgiveable sin during Rush Week is to run out of things to talk about. If there is nothing else, you must simply start over and repeat the same conversation. A point of confusion was the Panhellenic ruling that women could not pledge until Monday night. Most girls knew where they were going to live long before the dead- line, and an occasion of amusement to the cynical was the confusion of a freshman woman enrolling Monday who had probably been spiked for at the very least three days, but for the sake of correctness was completely at a loss as to what address to place on the enrollment card. How often it happened this way. Also amusing but confusing, were the contradictory grapevine reports that Suzie went this and that until even Suzie didn't remember which lodge she had last pledged. Boys were enlisted in the cause of Suzie's salvation. johnny, you just cou1dn't let Suzie do that . . . she is not that kind of a girl . . . she is definitely our type. Of course johnny may be somewhat in doubt as to just what type of girl he may be speaking to, but he nods his head in affirmation as if he understood perfectly the serious- ness of the situation. After this happens to johnny several times he is as confused as Suzie, but Suzie usually decides before Johnny does, which makes his decision irrelevant and immaterial, and succeeds in securing nothing for Johnny but the bitter enmity of several women's Greek societies and winning him the true love of none. Suzie's friendship for Johnny profits him nothing and only brings about his early downfall and probable mid-semester suicide. By the time it was all over, everyone was so weary, they gave one exhausted cheer and sank into a coma. Every- one bragged about their pledges, of course, and all had a right to, for along with a high registration, rush week uncovered an exceptional group of women. All this has been going on for the last 27 centuries, and probably will for 27 more-thanks to Mabel and Gert. 21 -,x S S, ALPHA CHI OMEGA FIRST ROW: Margie Holcomb, St. Joseph, Mo: Frances Tucker, Roswell, N.

Aristotle knew it, Thorstein Veblen proved it, and we believe it. Starting with this basic assump- tion, one must deduce that men must get a kick out of being a social animal, and that women, although somewhat different from men Cvive la differenceb, are, likewise, happily social animals. From these deductions one must gather that men enjoy living together and so do women. It was with this in mind that fraternities and sororities were found, and it is with this same knowledge that we now have dormitories and co-ops provided on the campus of the University of Kansas. The god of wisdom smiles with a loving smile on college campuses today where he sees the conflict between the Greeks and the people from Dormitoria rapidly disappearing. On Mt. Oread they not only speak to each other, they work together, and like each other. This con- dition creates an excellent atmosphere in which to plant a worthwhile university. The University of Kansas is proud of so healthful a substratosphere, and justly so. In this world of today so seemingly fraught with hate there is still kindness. If you donlt believe it, ask any of the students in the University of Kansas who live in donation-built dormitories . . . men or women. These dorms, three each for the men and the women combine with the cooperative houses to insure low cost living for deserving youth who seek a higher education. Corbin hall is a University women's dormitory while Miller and Watkins halls are privately built houses for scholarly women. By means of this system the participants enjoy a fullsome social life which is a vital part of a college education and which might otherwise be denied them. The same goes for the men's dorms, Battenfeld, Carruth, and Templin. All the mentioned are oc- cupied by students picked from Kansas high schools on a scholarship and character basis. They are not given a free ticket for four years of college, but rather are given a chance to show what they can dog if they as garaar faaaaa maintain the required grade average, they can remain under the shelter provided them by this worthwhile project. Some work is required of both the men and women. They are required to do their own house Work and cooking. To many this might seem a dis- agreeable task, but happily enough these willing workers take a pride in their ability to take care of themselves. It is not dillicult to see that they are get- ting more than book-larning out of their four-year sojourn on Mt. Oread. ' Corbin Hall, a University built dormitory for women, is named after Alberta Corbin, former Dean of Women at the University of Kansas who died last March. Miss Corbin was very active in securing dormitories and cooperative housing projects on Mt. Oread. The success enjoyed from her efforts as Dean of Women from 1918 to 1921 in establishing co- operative houses for women led to the construction of Watkins Hall which was followed later by Miller Hall. At Miller and Watkins Halls, both of which were built by the late Mrs. Elizabeth Watkins as coopera- tive houses, five or six girls share a kitchen. The houses are built on the unit plan and each gal takes her turn at brewing the broth lest there be too many cooks in the kitchen. These girls are selected on a scholarship basis, and they are as active socially as in any other field. They have the usual routine of parties, hour dances, teas, etc., and any of these femmes can cut a rug as well as she can sweep one. It was good news for all when tripletts were born to the University of Kansas in the name of Batten- feld, Carruth, and Templin Halls. The fall of 1940 was the first light of day for these three houses which are built to provide low-cost living, and social advan- tages to worthy students who might otherwise be unable to afford a college education . . . or at least an education on the pleasant plane which is provided these scholarly males. Battenfeld, Carruth, and Templin, the men's dorms, are, chronologically speaking, the little broth- ers of the aforementioned girls' clubs. They operate on much the same plan except that the three houses -awk -' SUMMERFIELD SCHOLARS FIRST ROW: Loyd Woodburn, Jack Kendall, George Kettner, Arthur Nelson, James Chandler, Herbert Gallegly Mansfield Miller, John Morgrave, Quentin Wheatly, John Conard, Bob Trurnp, Phil Ratterson.

These males pay 17 dollars and 50 cents for a month of shelter and food. In addition, they give an hour of their time each day for their own specific task and extra time on Saturday. These dormitories mean the difference between college or not for many of these men, and they can I I I I I I have their cake and eat it thanks to these projects. Because they not only get to study at the University, but they, too, participate in an active social life with many other fel- lows of their own calibre. In the case of the men's dormitories, each house has its own set of officers and its own meetings. The houses are combined into the Inter-house Council by the meeting of dele- gates from the three houses. A natural but friendly rivalry has sprung up among the three groups and they parti- cipate in intramural athletics as well as in scholarship. Carruth Hall is the present proud possessor of the scholarship trophy awarded the men's dorm which has the high- est house average. Did you say that there were co-ops on the campus of the University of Kansas? What will those young bolshevists think of next? The truth of the matter is that there are co-ops on Mt. Oread, as there are on the campuses of every progressive college in the United States. The co-op houses four in number, have been built in recent years in order to provide social and economical advantages for students who attend K.U. The first co-op house was organized in 1939. There were twenty charter members who reduced their ex- penses to a minimum by joining in cooperatively to do their own house work and to form the Jayhawk Co-op at 1614 Kentucky street. E Each of the first twenty members paid 20 dollars to join, this money was to provide for furnishings etc. He was allowed to receive the balance of his money, figuring 5 dollars per year, in return in the event that he left school at any time during his four years of college. Under the original set-up, each member also paid 17 dollars per month for expenses. This monthly bill has now gone up to 18 dollars.

The girls, not to be outdone, formed their first group this fall at 1138 Missis- sippi street and fetchingly named it the Kaw Coets Co-op. They use the same plan as do the boys. Each of the four cooperative houses has its own government of a president, vice- presidenr, secretary, and treasurer, and the four houses are united in an Inter-house Council consisting of the officers from each of the four.

These two committees are indicative of the purpose behind the cooperative movement, that is to provide stu- dents with economic and social advantages. Last, but not least, is that out- standing group which has so firmly entrenched itself upon this campus . . . the Summerfield scholars. These men come to the University of Kansas with the assurance that a fund set up by Solon Summer- field will see them through four years of schooling if they maintain a 2.5 index and comport them- selves as gentlemen. Whether it be dormitory, co- operative house, or simple grant to scholars, these three elements of student life on Mt. Oread are essential. The accomplishments of individuals who have enjoyed the privilege of these organizations is sufficient basis from which to paint their praise. But in addition they have proved that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. In addition to housing and schooling some outstanding men and women, these clans have proved their ability to make men and women in whom we as Jayhawkers take great pride.

FW as Great by QM Tmfmp HEIR wings clipped neatly in the first game of the season by the high-flying Temple Owls, the University of Kansas Jayhawks sunk their claws deep into the fur of Washington University's Bears the following weekend and poised themselves for their long-awaited flight out of the Big Six Bastille. With Rifling Ralph' Miller, veteran quarterback star, making threatening gestures at an All-American nomination, with five or six other versatile backs ranging from the quicksilver to the human howitzet type, and with a line short on experience but longer on weight and reserves than it has been for a number of years, the Jayhawks roared towards the Nebraska game at Lincoln intent on making the feathers fly in several Big Six stadiums this fall. Running in the first string backfield at the start of the season with Miller, whose performances in the first two games furnished conclusive proof that his injured knee is completely healed, were a trio of outstanding sophomores, Halfbacks Ray Evans and Ray Niblo and Fullback Don Red Dog Ettinger. Sports scribes who saw the practices last spring and the September sessions this fall were quick to label this quartet as one of the most versatile back- fields in the Midlands. Milleris passing ability, which gained him the title of the country's leading pig- skin propeller during his junior year in 1959, has been supplemented this fall by the slender sharp- shooter's resumption of the running and kicking duties in which he excelled before a knee injury sent him hobbling to the sidelines midway through the 1958 season. Evans, the stylish Wyandotte high school grad- uate, who is equally adept at football, basketball, or baseball has been selected by many experts to become the greatest star in University of Kansas athletic his- tory. Only a sophomore this year, Evans already has branded his initials on one of the halfback berths and has shown that he can- run, block, and tackle with the best in the Big Six. Running at the other halfback spot as the season opened was Ray Niblo, triple-threat sophomore from Dallas, Texas. Niblo's performance in the Washing- ton University game where he tossed several long pbotor by Bowluf and Taylor I OCTOBER 1241 CSGFTJS passes including one which Miller converted into a touchdown by a 41-yard run, marked him as talented in every department. Called Red Dog by his friends and teammates, although his real name is Don, Ettinger came out of William Chrisman high school in Independence, Mo., two years ago to attract attention on a sterling freshman team and then claim the varsity fullback's berth. Treading on the heels of this set of starters were Don Pollom, last year's sophomore halfback ace who scored the only Jayhawk touchdown against Temple this fall, Ed Linquist, chunky junior fullback who blasted his way 18 yards for the winning touchdown against Washington University, Harlan Altman, Wellington quarterback who was kept out of action most of last season by broken ribs, Denzel Gibbens, elusive little halfback, and Dick Miller, whose 41- yard run after a sleeper play engineered by himself and Niblo was one of the features of the Temple game. Worthy of special mention among the linemen because of their play in early games this year were Jayhawk End Hub Ulrich, Guard Bob Fluker, and Center Bob Githens. Ulrich, who won Hrst and sec- ond team ratings on several all-conference selections last year, should spend most of his time this year in opposing team's backfield. Handicapped by a broken leg during his freshman season, Fluker, the only Summerfield Scholar ever to play varsity football at the University, blossomed into stardom late last season and is rolling towards an All-Big Six berths this year. Probably the most difficult assignment of all was handed to Githens when he was asked to replace Don Pierce, - one of the finest centers in this section of the country last fall. But Githens, 'who was named all-state junior college center for Inde- pendence in 1939, paced the play of the Jay- hawk line against Temple and turned in an- other outstanding performance in the Wash- ington game. Other Hrst string linemen who have indi- cated that they may be able to do something about boosting the stock of the Kansas for- ward wall are Paul Hardman, Topeka junior, who held the other starting end post, Eugene Chief Long, Steve Crusher Meade, and photo by Bmnine 27 Jack Tenenbaum, rugged tackles who have been en- gaged in a threelway scrap for starting nominations, and Jay Kern and Monte Merkel, two experienced guards. - Back of these men are others who represent the strongest string of reserves a Jayhawk team has boasted in several years. Ends Ralph Schaake and Bob Hagen, Tackles Warren Hodges and.Bill Kern, Guard Joe Crawford, and Center Dale Lowery, should spend considerable time in action each Saturday after- noon. It is fortunate that Coaches Gwinn Henry, Vic Hurt, and Harry Lansing are handling the best ma- terial with which they have been presented at Kan- sas, for every team in the Big Six, with the possible exceptions of Nebraska and Kansas State, is rated as improved over last year. And the Jayhawk non- conference schedule maker who tossed the Kansans at Temple, ranked this year as one of the five best teams in the East, Washington University, a Mis- souri Valley leader, Marquette, tutored by the former Oklahoma coach, Tom Stidham, and West Virginia, always a power, saw to it that there were no soft spots on the season's slate. But the Jayhawks made an impressive start. Al- though they lost to Temple by a score of 31 to 9, they rolled up a total of 199 yards from passes as compared to 70 for their opponents and had it not been for three disastrous fumbles in the first 10 min- utes of play, each of which led to a touchdown for the Philadelphia team, the Kansans might have edged I Continued on Page 702 lx: 'L ,uw- THE JAYHAWKFR IHINK N THIS time of national crisis our country is arming, training, and preparing to defend it- self against the inevitable onslaught of the totali- tarian military machine. We are still divided as to whether England's fight is our fight, whether Russiais fight is our fight, or whether the United States of America is the only nation which is worthy of salvation from these hordes of barbarians. Some want to save America by aiding the allies. Others want to save America by staying out of foreign wars. All want to save America. To everyone the so-called American way of life is the end toward which all efforts must be directed. This brings the perplexing question, What is the American way of life? Some people who only follow symbols and do no in dependent thinking of their own have no answer for this question They have read it in their newspaper so often that it is a god which they worship and wish not to understand To others those who do attempt to define the American way of life its carries various connotations To the capitalist the American way of life IS the right for him to make as much money as possible without transgressing his own moral standard To the laborer the American way of life IS the right to vote and strike To the mid dle class shop owner this concept embodies his right to make a l1V11'1g in what he considers a decent way To the common man the Ameri can way of life is preserved in the Declaration of Independence while to the wealthy man it tees the right of property Here is an invitation to study these two documents and observe that they are fundamentally different and at the pres ent diametrically opposed The one thing which we all agree is worth fighting for is the American way of life And that one thing is a different thing to each class in our nation. At the same time, therefore, that we have the same end, we have different ends. Our means to the various ends must naturally be as various. Some men believe that our way of life can best be preserved by not going to war and others believe that only the defeat of Hitler will enable us to set our own house in order. Even if we all had the same end, in a nation of 130 million people we would necessarily have many different means, but we are faced with the obstacle of having different ends and a progress- ively proportional ntunber of means to those ends. In the face of this confusion, or should we say in spite of this confusion, our nation is being led along a definite path toward war People are giving money services and precious years of their lives toward the defense of our nation Amidst all our mental turmoil a dynamic IS gathering momentum leading us to war I do not charge one man not any number of men of skillfully plotting in smoke filled hotel rooms to push us into war It only appears that the people of this country individually feel themselves in capable of thinking a problem through This futility of self reliance breeds in turn an apathy toward war which is the fertile ground in which Mars can raise his best crop of death and destruction Brave people of America you have proved your ability to fight courageously but you have never proved your ability to think correctly If your own mind and the majority believes that war is the best solution then war may be justi fied But if you have given up trying to solve the problem from your own standpoint and if you have resigned yourselves to the decision of others you are not worthy of being a free people FQ ' 1 - ll . . . ....

I've been working hard all semester for this license, and so you can imagine how proud I am of it. For the past week, we have been flying about two hours a day in order to get our time turned in before the deadline date. I was fifth in the primary course to finish. The test was hard, too. The flight examiner spent about an hour with me, and he put me through those maneuvers in a hurry. First, I did 5 or 6 spot landings solo, and then he went up with me. He started by having me climb to 3500 feet and then called for spins, one right and one left. He then tested me on vertical turns and stalls. My stalls were good, smooth as glass, with perfect control. He liked them, he said, but he was unhappy about my figure eights and my power landing. He nearly scared me to death when he reached over and cut the gun at about 1200 feet and then just looked straight ahead and said, NWell, where are we going to land?n But I finally spotted a long smooth wheat field and came in toward it at just about the right height. I had a bad few minutes during the test, but he must have liked my flying, because he signed my test sheet and promised to recommend me for the secondary course. You see, there are four courses under the CAA program: the private pilot, or primary course, the secondary or advanced course, which gives you a commercial rating, the cross country course, and then another course which gives you an instructor's rating. The University of Kansas offers all four. In fact, we have the second largest single operation center in the United States. There are fourteen planes for our use at the airport. Seven of them are Aeroncas, four are Waco Trainers for the advanced course, and there are two Stinsons and a Beechcraft for the cross country course. They use ten or twelve instructors full time and train about 75 or 80 men in these courses every year. We got a good rating last year by the Civil Air Administration because of the large number of pilots turned out, and for our safety record---we haven't had a single flying accident at our airport. That's a good record, because we almost always have from 12 to 15 planes using the same runway during an hour. However, the instructors are very careful to see that we learn the traffic regulations before we ever get to fly solo. I remember my first solo flight. It came as a complete surprise to me early one Saturday morning when Rex, my instructor, stepped out of the plane and said, UOK, boy, do you think you can take her around alone?H I know I must have gulped and turned pale, and I couldn't say a word, but I did nod---feebly. So I took off, that was easy, and started to circle the field. The surprise wore off a little then, and I began to look around and enjoy myself. Gee, that was a thrill---up there flying around alone, depending on nobody but myself. The air is clean and cold and pure up there. I had a feeling of intense freedom. I wanted to laugh and yell and sing all at the same time. Nothing in the world was bothering me, at least, until I remembered it was time to make my landing. Just for a moment I wondered if I could make it, but not for more than a moment. It wasn't a matter of whether I could or not---I had to. I did not get the jitters until it was all over. Now I can go up and do spins, steep turns, stalls, and land fContinued on Page 681 5, 'L fav' THE JAYHAWKER C 'l' O B ER 1911 31 .-, 'X photo! by Bmnine I 32 THE JAYHAWKER Fighting Jayhawkers BOUT face! the command reverberated over the field like a chime on a frosty night. Melo- dious though it was, the tonal quality was of only secondary interest. What followed the command was an astounding thing. At the instant the atmosphere was disturbed by the piercing sound, a virtual riot ensued. Men in dark blue uniforms began marching. Some of them did anyhow. Others performed the manual of arms. While the remainder stood quite motionless, chained by bewilderment. That is all but one, a small pimply-faced freshman. He executed an about face. Probably an eagle scout,'f mused the sergeant. After approximately ten minutes, during which the weary sergeant and two corporals worked frantically, the platoon was once more aligned. They were ready for action. The sergeant looked anxious, but mus- tered his courage finally by a supreme effort of will power. Then, with an air of apprehension draped about him, he barked, Right Shoulder-Arms. He closed his eyes, choosing darkness to pandemonium. This time the platoon really showed its true met- tle and worth. Three men in the first squad began cleaning their rifles. Two others i:an screaming away into the distance. The rest remained immobile, except for one man, a small pimply faced freshman, who performed the required movement. Yes, it looked hopeless. It always does at this time of the year. There are so many new men, who for years believed implicitly, that soldiers were mythi- cal characters rented by the American Legion to Warner Brothers. This state of ignorance is an advan- tage in one way. That is the freshmen, knowing nothing, start on equal footing with the rest of the men in the unit. Don't let this article mislead you. I am not derid- ing the R.O.T.C. Far from it. By actual experience I know the changes that will come about, even within a few weeks. Commands will be executed without hesitation. Saddle shoes will have given way to the Zag Spawn EWLZM regulation black. White shirts will replace the multi- colored ones. There will be less complaining about the tonnage of the rifles, and maybe they will defy precedent and start marching in step. By next spring they will actually appear to be an entirely different group of men. Their military bear- ing will readily be seen to be deeper than the blue uniforms that bind them so thoroughly, and that bearing is the essence of a soldier. V Those men, who look so bewildered, so unmilitary, now, will succeed next spring and will once again attain a superior rating at the government inspection. They have done it so often that it has become a tradi- tion. Take my word for it, the attainment, of his rating isn't achieved without hard and bitter work. You're sadly mistaken if you think that it is an after- noon outing those boys have every Monday and Wednesday afternoon. It is work, nothing more. You start out with a rifle that weighs slightly over eight pounds, but after an hour or so of carrying it about in that quagmire called a drill field, one begins to think he has a field howitzer, slung over his shoulder. On days so cold that an eskimo wouldn't permit his dog outside, these soldier boys arecom- pelled to drill. By the time you reach the drill field your knuckles are bright blue trimmed in white. You assume you now must also be of this hue although you can't see it, in fact you can't even feel it. Unpleasant? Yes, it is. So are the balmy spring days, when every- one else is playing baseball, or out jellying. By the time of government inspection it is usually so hot those uniforms feel like sheepskin coats. It is hot, and muggy. It is not unusual in such heat for three or four men to keel over in a dead faint,--always an encouraging thing to witness. Yes, that's R.O.T.C. It's hard and it's strictly for men. If you've got it, you stick, if not, well, you wash out. I guess they say that holds true for almost anything, but in this case it is exceptionally apparent. Those men have a job to do and believe me, they're going to do it. 4 m OCTOBER 19-fl The Reserve Officers Training Corps is incorpo- rated into the University as a division. It is staffed by regular army men, some of which are commissioned officers others non-commissioned. These officers teach R.O.T.C. classes and drill tactics. Within the units cadet officers command. These men are chosen from the ranks according to their ability, and they receive valuable training in the command of men. The purpose of the R.O.T.C. is to turn out men trained in military matters. It was designed to lessen the emphasis on military might and yet provide our nation with a group of men capable of conducting an offensive or defensive war. Our experience in the last war proved that our greatest deficiency in the time of military crisis was in a staff of officers. West Point just does not turn out men fast enough to staff an army of millions of men. In normal times the men who have secured their reserve commissions are urged to go into active duty for two weeks each year at the various army summer camps. In this manner the reserve officer maintains alertness in military affairs. He may spend two weeks of one summer commanding troops from the Citizens Military Training Corps or he may serve in an R.O.T.C. summer camp. Of course in a time of crisis like today he may be put into active duty indefinitely. For the first two years you are in the so-called basic course. You drill twice a week and study the mechanism of the rifle and other fighting instruments. Two sections comprise the Reserve Officers Training Corps. One group is the infantry and the other is labeled the coast artillery. For the first two years their training is much the same. However, in the advanced course which takes up the last two years, the future officers of the infantry study the move- ments of men and equipment and military problems which apply to their respective field. The advanced students in the coast artillery study the operation of large guns, both coastal defense guns, and anti- aircraft gunnery. In order to secure a commission as a reserve officer, a man must complete the four-year course, and attend a six-week summer camp for R.O.T.C. units. The coast artillery men go to Camp Sheridan near Chi- cago and the infantry men are sent to Ft. Leaven- worth. At the present time those who have com- pleted the course and secured their commissions are being called into active service at a rapid rate. The R.O.T.C. maintains its own honor society in that national organization, The Scabbard and Blade. This society exists on almost all college campuses and 33 is composed of the outstanding military students who are officers in their own units. There is a social side to the military man which the Reserve OHicers Training Corps does not neglect. They indulge in barbecues and balls. These affairs, definitely instrumental in maintaining the esprit de corps, are supported by the entire personnel of the R.O.T.C. At the Grand Ball, in true military fashion, the gallants make a bridge of swords under which the higher ranking cadet officers parade their ladies of the evening. It's tough and it's fun. It is boring and it is instru- mental. But you still have to explain the fact that there has been almost a 600 per cent increase in the size of the unit at the University of Kansas in last five years. Whereas in former years the quota of men to be admitted on Mt. Oread to the advanced courses was ample, today we find many young men who have completed the basic course pounding futilely at the military door in an effort to gain further military education. However the government quota can not be extended to include all of those seeking admittance. This leads to a scholastic competition among the basic students from which the better stu- dents are chosen for the coveted chance. This is one of the parts which the University of Kansas is playing in present national defense activi- ties. Besides furnishing skilled technicians, engineers, doctors, etc., we are furnishing oHicers for the armies of the United States of America. In conclusion I want to ask everyone brave enough to have read this far, that before you ever laugh at, or ridicule those boys again just think it over, and realize what theyire doing. I'm not waxing patriotic. Not even I conceive they are out there just because they feel it their duty as patriotic Americans to pre- pare themselves to defend this country. Most of them have more selfish motives than that. I rather imagine the majority of them believe they are averting greater discomfort in the future, by undergoing these un- pleasanties now, and that is probably true. At least for many of them it is. Because the R.O.T.C. is mar- velously immune against belligerent draft boards. But no matter what their motives, the thing they are doing is a fine thing. The end that they accomplish will justify them regardless of the motive that put them in uniform under burdensome rifies. My only hope is that their training will never be put to the test, unless for a just cause. They're too fine a group of men to die for an ideal created by war mongers. Donit you think so?

MERICA must never repeat the mistake of becoming embroiled in an European warf' How many times have you and I and every other member of our generation heard that same phrase or one similar to it? We can all remember the adver- tising campaign launched to prove the horrors of war-with pictures of babies lying on butchers' block waiting to be sold as cannon fodder. We are only now beginning to realize that it was not our entrance into the World War that was the mistake, but the gravest error was our lack of par- ticipation in the peace after the war. If America had stood its ground in 1919 and seen to it that a just peace was made in Europe, the present problem would not be with us now. There is really no longer a debatable question con- cerning whether we should intervene in this World War If. The question has resolved itself down as to whether we can best aid the Allies through an im- mediate declaration of war, or through continuing and extending our present policy of undeclared war against the axis. E The most sensible thing the United States can do at the present time is to come out strongly, once and for all, on 'the side of the Allies with a declara- tion of war against Germany. General realization that we are at war will consolidate America. Germany is waging a war on many different fronts, gigantic battles are being fought with Russia, the air warfare with Britain continues, and there is bitter strife between the German government and the people of every occupied nation. Britain realizes that now, more so than at any other time since the beginning of the war, Germany is most vulnerable to a direct invasion on some part of continental Europe. Yet Britain is loathe to move forces out of the British Isles without the definite assurance that America really means business in this war and will come to the aid of Britain in case sudden reverses took place. The only way America can give Britain the neces- sary assurance is to declare total war on Germany at once. Once America has declared war British morale will be boosted, and a British invasion of Europe will be imminent. M . .. Bead WZJW4 Direct participation in the war will go far toward eliminating the isolationist-interventionist argument that has retarded the defense effort. The longer the declaration of war is put off the longer the conscious and unconscious fifth-columns have to work with- out fear of prosecution. With America at war it will become easier to tell who is for and who is against our country. Many Americans have honest convictions that interven- tionism is not a solution to the present problem, but these isolationists are a minority. Those of the isola- tionist camp who honestly support American democ- racy will swing over to assist the national govern- ment when they realize we are at war and in need of their assistance. Our fight is freedom's light. Liberty is a gift that has ben dropped into our laps and it is high time that we assume the responsibility to preserve it. England is fighting now to preserve the world order as we know it today. As so many have already said, it is our fight as much as theirs. Our frontier is on the battlefields of Russia and over the English Channel. We should not hesitate! A German victory means economic strangulation for us. South America, our Achilles heel, offers the opening that the axis powers need for an actual military victory after we have been internally weakened by economic chaos. Democracy can not be preserved by apathetic waiting and worship of ideals. We must strike out now for the future freedom of our children and our nation. If there are things worth fighting for, these same things are worth dying for. Wake up America and prove yourself equal to the task. Now is the time for America to deal itself into the war in order to take part in the future peace nego- tiations. The greatest folly would be for America to continue a policy of undeclared war and eliminate all possibility of making itself heard at the peace con- ference after Germany is beaten. W Let's get in and whip the axis, and then make sure the four freedoms are made working doctrines for the entire world. Sludenh OCTOBER 1941 35 Non-Intervention 756 Gif new-Lnllwaaemiicw . . . fcf UR country unites to proclaim its common ideals of democratic government for all and of permanent peace for the world. Non-interventionists, however, hold that the desired end can never be obtained by war, because war is a means inconsistent with the end, and that, besides, the present war is no more a war for democracy than was the first World War. In the first place, entrance of the United States into this war would only further postpone the reali- zation of our ideals. Aldous Huxley in Emir ami Means writes, False ideas result in false action, and the man who makes a habit of wrong action thereby limits his field of consciousness and makes it impos- sible for himself to think certain thoughts. Has our all-out aid so limited our consciousness that we forget that the World War I restricted rather than extended democracy? Have we forgotten the horrible dis- illusionment and the moral degeneration that fol- lowed the last war? Have we willfully overlooked the fact that England twenty-two years ago scuttled Wilson's second point of freedom of the seas-the preservation of which is one of the principal argu- ments for our intervention now? Have we forgotten how England put her ideals into practice by making the League of Nations an instrument for preserving the British Empire? Have we lost the memory of the Ku Klux Klan terrorism following the first World War? Have we forgotten so soon that the last war inducted world conditions which bred, bore, nursed, weaned, and matured Hitler and the Nazism which we are now called on to fight? Are these results of the last war worth the tremendous sacrifice of lives and of wealth? The present war does not differ in principle from the last. War and violence are, and always will be, the prime causes of war and violenceg war-armed truce - rearmament, war - armed truce - rearma- ment-a vicious cycle which gathers momentum as time goes on. Henry M. Wriston, president of Brown University says, The Versailles Treaty . . . was probably as good a treaty as is likely to be made at the close of a long, bitter, and exhausting war S . . . . The road to hell is paved with good inten- tions, but even a seemingly just peace imposed by violence is not psychological peace but only a sup- pressed violenceg and each time we have a war and an armed truce, the more distant and difficult becomes the realization of world-wide peace and democracy. In the second place the present war is not being fought primarily for democracy any more than was the first World War. Perhaps it is safer to say that we do not know what this war is being fought for, and that therefore we assume it is being fought for the same reason for which England has fought prac- tically every other war in her history-for the preser- vation of her empire. What else could account for England's participation in an alliance with hated' Russia? At the same time England refuses to raise the continental blockade to admit minimum food supplies for her former, good-weather friends of the small democracies who are now starving-this in spite of the statements of authorities such as Gen- eral John J. Pershing to the effect that food could be taken in according to the Hoover Plan without aiding Germany. Plainly, little idealism is involved -the whole situation is simply a matter of expedi- ency in attaining an immediate security. The entire absence of well-formulated peace aims bears out this conclusion further still. And have we forgotten the Nye Munition Indus- tries Investigation which revealed how Major Simons and du Pont were instrumental in spiking the Geneva disarmament conference in 1925? Have we also overlooked other findings of that investigation which exposed the manner in which the now pa- triotic companies like United Aircraft did tremen- dous volumes of business with Germany in 1951- 1934 when she was rearming? Is it fighting for democracy when a nation, in which 75 per cent are opposed to war, is dragged to all practical purposes into the fight for democracy, when democracy is rule by the majority? Is it fight- ing for democracy, when the leaders of our two great democracies, disappear for a few days and then show up again to proclaim the war aims of their countries ? Is it fighting for democracy when our armed forces enforce Jim Crow regulations and l ki fnaQ-v-' 36 refuse to allow a single negro officer in the regular army? ls it fighting for democracy when much of the inciting propaganda comes from eight movie production firms, who several years ago put such filth on the screen that the League for Decency had to be formed, and seven of which companies would go bankrupt if they were to lose their foreign film trade? Is it fighting for democracy when our student lead- ers are arbitrarily snatched from our college campuses and put into the army where theirs not to reason whyg theirs but to do and diem? America today is a rabble of confusion. Strikes, exorbitant profits, rising prices, scarcity of materials . . . all of these evils combine to make us a divided nation which has not the power to face a totality. War against Hitlerism means total war. And a divided nation can not stand against a united foe. Whether or not we agree with the principles under which the German people are united, or whether we argue that they are compelled to unite, the point is that they are united while we as a nation are not. -We young people of America have been instilled with a fervent hate for war by those same men who now advise our entry into this conflict. High school platforms have preached the word on Armistice days of the near past that war is wicked and horrible. We believed these men. We have reverently listened to the recitation of In Flanders Fieldsv and vowed in our own hearts that they shall not have died in vain. But now we are cowardly because we can't support our country's entrance into this holocaust. Some of those who oppose our entrance into this war do so because they want to live and not to die in vain. Others, stand on a moral ground that war is evil, that it has never and will never accomplish a Worthwhile end. War finds men killing men whom they have never seen before. War finds fathers killing fathers and sons killing sons. Without getting too emotional, war finds the most senseless and wholesale slaughter that this mad animal, man, has ever devised. The cause of this war was the peace of the last one. The cause of the last war was greed and selfishness exhib- ited by one group lest another group should unseat them. Is it any wonder that a monster of so hideous parentage should be born and live so -'revolting an existence? A distinction which to many people fail to see is that although there are things worth fighting for, there are not things worth going to war for. We who do not believe in war as a means to a good end do 1-HE JAYHAWKER not stand on the grounds of apathetic resistance. We believe in fighting for our concepts and against those opposed to ours. But we cannot condone a fight in which the participants know not what they are fight- ing for. Socrates recognized that there was a more effective method of battle than the physical. SOCIMCS died in support of his own belief as did Christ, but their vic- tory was a greater one than any of Napoleon or his historic competitors. An old German printer once made the statement, It is so easy to fight on the wrong side and hurt everyone, and so hard to fight on the right side and hurt those whom you love. But this is the stand of those who oppose war as a means to an end. Perhaps we agree with you on the end for which we all must work. But we cannbt agree with war as a means to any end. We do not consider ourselves heroic martyrs to a noble cause. Rather do we consider ourselves as thinking people who are trying to view the crisis in the long run. If we are ever to blot out the horror of war in this world, some day there must arise a powerful nation whose young men must refuse to fight in a war. This leadership by example is the most powerful move that we can make toward removing ceaseless, senseless war. We do not believe that since there have always been wars, there will always be wars. Our faith in man and his reason leads us to believe that man can solve this problem by simply refusing to go to war. N o leader, no matter how powerful, can lead a nation into conflict if his people are determined against war. We must choose and choose quickly between the immediate, expedient, and disastrous course of active intervention and the slow, painful, but certain course of non-military, constructive cooperation in a chaotic world. Animals live from meal to meal-their cul- tures rarely progressg Neolithic man learned to live from generation to generation-his culture prog- ressed to form the basis of our present civilization, will mankind now stagnate by continuing to accept the immediate expedient of war rather than raising his comprehension to envision the future of the race in centuries-even millenia-to come? Non-inter- vention will mean suffering-great suffering for us, do we have the strength to make this sacrifice for our posterity or must we cravenly torture our coming generations by propagating the present system of nefarious warfare and traitorously bequeathing it to them and their children?

How does it happen that your 10:30 account- ing class can meet in Marvin hall without conflict- ing with an engineering class? Who was the inhuman soul that scheduled that lecture from your favorite professor at 4:30 in the afternoon? In short, have you ever given more than a passing thought to the administrative organization of the University of Kansas? This complicated but well- coordinated organization is familiar to very few of the students, and not many of the faculty would be able to trace the flow of authority from highest to lowest powers. Usually the highest source of authority considered in an analysis of the University administration is the nine-man Board of Regents, the governing board of the University. However, to be consistent with the spirit of democracy which is so much emphasized in these times, it might be pointed out that the Board of Regents is appointed by the popularly elected gov- ernor with the authority of the legislature, the repre- sentatives of the people of Kansas. The Board of Regents is charged with the general governing policy of the University. It is the final authority in determining the administrative problems of the University, although it must comply with legislative enactments. However, in order to carry out this task competently, the Regents appoint the Chancellor to supervise the actual administration. On the Chancellor's recommendation, the Board ap- points, promotes, and fixes the salaries of the entire faculty. To the Chancellor is delegated the authority to carry out the educational and business activities of the University In addition to holding the title of Chancellor, he is designated as chairman of the Uni versity Senate and as titular head of the faculties of each of the nine schools comprising the University Practically the Chancellor is granted most of the nominal powers of the Board of Regents subject of course to their approval The University Senate 1S one of several bodies of za aaa fraamaz cellor. It is composed of the deans of all the schools, the directors of the divisions, and all members of the instructional staff holding the rank of professor or associate professor. This body is the policy- determining organ for matters affecting the entire University, complying of course with the Regents and the legislature. The Senate arranges the final examination schedule, sets grading standards, and minimum admission requirements to the University Cnot to the schoolsj. Most of this work is done through committees, but the whole Senate meets regularly four times a year, with special meetings at the call of the Chancellor. In addition to the Senate, the Chancellor is aided by a purely advisory body,-the Chancellor's Cabinet, composed of the deans of all the schools. Another all-University body is the Assembly, which is really nothing more than a general meeting of the entire staff on the University payroll. This meeting has no particular function, except to announce changes. Other administrative offices with all-University functions are the Business office, Registrars office, and the offices of the Advisers of Men and W'omen. The Business office handles all the financial mat- ters of the University, the schools, and many of the minor groups of semi-official origin on the campus- for examp1e,ithe honorary societies, publications, and clubs. The Registrarls office is the official recording office of the University. It keeps the only permanent rec- ord of each individual student's academic progress in college, since it records his course, grades, and all other information regarding his academic work. Al- though it may be a debatable question whether such a record alone is an adequate measure of a student's activity during four years of college, no one can dis- pute that the academic record is the traditionally accepted standard of student's educational success. Many of the less tangible aspects of college life -which a student considers important, and which undoubt- edly do contribute to his development are recorded OUIY af11Or1g his memories, there is no way of record- ing them in precise terms. While the registraris main function is the accurate 5 I r . . . l Il E ll!

In addition to maintaining an accurate record for every student in the University, the registrar has charge of passing upon applications for admission. He must make certain that each student is qualified to enter the University according to admission regu- lations set by the Senate and legislature. Tying together all of these ollices and bodies into a well-coordinated system are a number of Univer- sity committees, concerned usually with more special- ized fields of action, such as commencement, fresh- man week, libraries, and awards. These committees are appointed by the Chancellor, elected by the Senate, or jointly appointed and elected by the Chan- cellor and the Senate. From the administrative bodies of all-University scope, an analysis of this organization must descend to the next layer in the picture, that of the nine schools of the University,-the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Graduate School, Schools of Medi- cine, Law, Engineering and Architecture, Pharmacy, Fine Arts, Business, and Education. On the same level are the ten independent divisions, dealing with such matters as Intercollegiate Athletics, University Extension, Summer Sessions, Museums, Libraries, Reserve OHicer's Training Corps, Geological Survey, State Service Work, Vocations, and University Pub- lications. Each division is headed by an administra- tive committee named by the Senate, and executive officer called the director. Such a relation corresponds to that of the Chancellor and the Senate on a lesser scale. In the various schools the theoretical delegation of authority is to the faculty ofthe school. Practically, however, there needs to be some central authority to direct administration. This is accomplished in various ways in the different schools, although every school is headed by a dean as its executive officer. Rather than examine the organizations of each school, that of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will serve as an example for the others. The College is chosen mainly because more than fifty per cent of the students of the University are enrolled in this school. Montinued on Page 732 plaolor by Cmrk Ne-: YL 4' ..!

Each man selected one of the heavy leather-upholstered chairs which fianked the long mahogany table. Each man sat down in his chair. But a tall man of firm chin, who but the presi- dent, rose before he was quite seated and said: The meeting will please come to order. He waited for objections. There were no objec- tions. The meeting came to order. And the president sat down. This, the first meeting of the Men's Student Coun- cil of the Amalgamated Men of the University he said, is important, he said. Perhaps we cannot properly say that the eyes of the University are focused upon us . . . He looked uneasily at three Visitors along the east wall, drawn to themselves away from the long table. Two were seated, talking enthusiastically to each other about the coming foot- ball game. The third was sweeping. He worked there. . . but we, as representatives of the Amal- gamated Men of the University-Well, shucks, it's the first meeting of the year. . A buzz of comment passed around the table. Gentlemen, the President continued, We will have the reading of the minutes. There were no objections. The minutes were read. The President cleared his throat. We now turn to new business, he said. Mr. Secretary, you have a petition? Yes, said the Secretary. The Society of the Twiddledee petitions that, hmf, that we accept two Twiddledee appointments to vacancies created by failure of Twiddledee representatives to return to the University. . Mr. President, the Vice-President said. I move that we accept the appointees. Mr. President, a small man at the far end of the table raised his hand wearily. As a representa- tive of the Amalgamated Men of the University, as a member of the Twiddledum, as Va citizen, I protest. We will vote on the motion, the President said. All in favor of accepting the petition say aye. A chorus of ayes. All opposed-same sign. ,A chorus of ayes. We will now swear in the candidates, the Presi- dent said.

H Mr, President, the small man said, the Consti- tution of the Amalgamated Men says- You are out of order, the President said. He pledged the appointees to loyalty, honesty, upright- ness, in short-nobility. And they each found a leather-upholstered chair and sat down, for they were tired from waiting to be sworn in. Now, the President said, we have before- us a bill. It provides for freshman training. Will the chairman of the Committee on Traditions present his report? The chairman rose. Yes, he said. Thank you, said the President. This bill pro- vides that all freshmen shall become traditions. Mr, President, said the Vice-President, I move that the freshmen become traditions-immediately. The vote was unanimous. Mr. President, Mr. President. It was the small man again. Regarding the new members, I think that the Constitution.of the .Amalgamated Men clearly states-U You are out of order, the President said. Men, men, why must we act like children?

Why must we always quibble? the President asked sadly. Isn't this a democracy? Why must we always be at each others throats. Quibbling gets us no where. What we need is a more democratic ap- proach to our problems. We should each of us attempt to understand more thoroughly our consti- tution. If all of us guided our actions by the doc- trine of the constitution of the Amalgamated Men of the University of Kansas, we would not have this continuous bickering. Ours is a constitutional democracy. The president, the one with the firm jaw, sat down to recover from this long speech, but the small W '15 mf X !

Rather such manifestations of seeming strife are but healthy indications of an unflagging interest on the part of each group in the net result of their combined efforts. That there are frequent disagreements on policy is natural, the peaceful resolution of these conflicts without subordination of either is truly an encouraging sign. Indeed, if some scheme could be devised whereby the faculty and administration could be more directly represented on'the students' councils and the students in the faculty and administrative decisions, a still more satisfactory working arrangement could be effected. Perhaps a single organization fairly representing both factions could most satisfactorily solve joint problems. But all this discussion thus far raises only a consideration of a prospective problem of the future. To turn briefly to the past, the potential power of student government is best summed up in a review of past accomplishments. Typical of previous achievements are campaigns that were sponsored originally either by the student councils or by individual political parties. The drive for the stadium was actively participated in and led by student government leaders. Tennis courts for the students in general were first conceived in student political brains, as was the idea for consolidation of activities onto one activity book. Even such ideas as permanent staff personnel for the University hospital germinated in student minds, and the Men's Student Council of several years ago made preliminary studies on dormitories for men and encouraged public sentiment in that direction. And, of course, inspection of rooms, the Student Correspondents Bureau, the Forums Board, varsity and class dances, parking permits, student court, and others to great A length have long been under the yearly surveillance of the councils. In financial matters the councils at K.U. are again more fortunately situated . than most. The men's and the women's councils each have well over 31,000 to spend each year, depending upon the enrollment. With this money, in addition to matters of a more or less routine nature and taking charge of such affairs as mentioned above, the councils each year appropriate further sums for such purposes 35 the Y.M.C.A., the Y.W.C.A., the Engineering Exposition, the Jayhawk Nibble loan scholarships, dormitories, and other carefully examined projects so long as the rationed money lasts. In brief, student government at K.U. is ready, indeed eager, to serve, to direct its energies toward new and evermore Worthwhile projects.

Managers who won these awards were Stephen Karnowski, Don Pierce, Dick Oliver, Bill Belt, and John Fogel. The Hve high ranking hletes were Bob Eidson, Chain Healy, Larry Mc- Spadden, Van Hartman, and Sweden Olson. The intramural program makes provision for competition in almost every sport, but basketball, football, and softball receive the most enthusiastic SUPPOH- The program is designed primarily for the enjoyment of the contestants, and although spectators are welcomed at all events, the Chief emphasis is placed on the value of the program to the active competitor.

Observation of the different groups in practice gives evidence of stiffer competition this year than ever before. This fall, volleyball has been elected to furnish all necessary spills and chills-by Christmas time basket- ball will be in full swing-and when spring hits Mount Oread, baseball will be drawing our strenuous and invigorating season to a close. Medals and cups will be given, as usual, in all minor and major sports: volleyball, tennis, handball, horseshoes, aerial darts, archery, swimming, basket- ball, etc. The beacon toward which all groups are striving, however, is the big silver cup denoting the organization with the greatest number of points at the end of the school-year. , The oliicersrto direct the intra- mural sport program will be the treasurer, Marjorie Rader CCorbin Halljg and the three judges, Mil- dred jo Wells CCorbin Hallj, Lois 47 team sports of the year. Betty and Colleen will also be red-hoti' competitors for anybody over a ping- pong net. Mildred jo Wells, Corbin hall's leader of intra- mural sports, has a sad tale to tell of Corbin's loss of its brilliant athlete known throughout the campus as Squeak,' Grizzell. She excelled especially in all team sports. Last year Corbin hall won the basket- ball and baseball trophies, showing much strength in these specific sports. Miss Wells reports that the only great loss to these teams is Grizzellg however, Miss Wells believes sincerely that one girl does not make a team and that this year she has all confidence that Corbin hall has the material to win again. As spirit runs high in the halls this year, so it does in the sorority houses. Betty Allen of Alpha Chi reports a few high spots in intra- murals from her house this year . . . Peggy Gurney and Margaret White- head in baseball, Reola Durand and Lucille Gillie in volleyball, and Betty Allen and Kay Whitehead in WHMlN zawaaaszmzaz Howell CPi Beta Phil, and Peggy Davis CKappa Alpha ThetaD. Out of the halls this year come many reports of enthusiasm over intramurals. Each hall has vowed to fill all contests with many able partici- pants. From Watkins hall Althea Shuss, all-around athlete and intramural sports leader, predicts fine co-operation and high spirit. Rumors have reached us, however, that Helen Wilson, last year's one-man team of all teams, has transferred to Em- poria State. One would think that this loss, however, could not mean too much swimming. Margie Holcomb is deemed tops in tennis.

THE JAYHAWKER photo: by Cmxk and Taylor OCTOBER 1941 49 ai. Union Forever 0 E HAD been wanting to go over. Ever since we had heard about it, we had been yearning to see for ourselves. That was the reason for our feeling of suppressed excitement as we came down the walk by the Pi Phi house and entered the north door into the sub-basement of the Union Building. But the people! We had to wrestle our way through the hall! Motivated purely by the urge for self- preservation we slipped into the hrst room we found -the fountain. Our first glimpse of the surroundings as we passed through the glass-portals was a pleasant surprise. We sidled into the nearest booth and gazed in admiration at the mahogany booths with their chrome trim and bright red leather seats. And those plants in the innumerable vases suspended from the ceiling-by what strange and unnatural phenomenon are they supplied with that vital essential for plant existence, moisture? Our reverie was rudely shattered by some young man disguised as a waiter inquiring in a deter- mined bellow above the blasting strains of Chat- tanooga Choo-Choo whether or not we had voted. He informed us that he was working his way to the Rose Bowl, or something. It was probably just a gag, and so we ignored his query. When we questioned him concerning the occupation of the large number of persons just sitting around in the various booths, he explained that they were jellying. We had always vaguely associated jelly with the Home Eco- nomics Department, but you never know what to expect with a new Chancellor and the draft and everything. When we once again started down the corridor, we noticed on our right the office of the YMCA, but further investigation of that room was forestalled by a locked door and a cryptic note' in the window, Back at 4:3o. just beyond this omce was another bearing the marker JAYHAWKER. The interior resembled a mail order house at the time of a new edition of the fall catalog. At the far end of the room, beyond the huge stacks of publications, sat the editor. He was only vaguely discernible--saddle- Shod pedal extremities resting peacefully on the desk, hands clapsed behind his head-his entire hgure W2 ...Wwiafiflfcvzfm largely obscured by the billowing clouds of bluish- grey smoke pouring from that portable incinerator he mistakenly terms a pipe. , Seeking a more exciting atmosphere we wandered past the alluring smiles of the sirens of the book exchange and went into the game room. Such a con- trast following our session in the fountain. This room was noticeable largely for its absence of anything aesthetic. Perhaps the purpose was to bring out the rugged qualities in the clientele's character. We took several deep breaths and strode manfully through the room, threading our way among the various men, women, tables, and other obstructions to traffic, cast- ing a critical eye over the crayon drawings feebly attempting to adorn the otherwise bare cement walls. In the midst of our observations some fellow sug- gested that we participate in one of the activities- ping pong, pool, billiards, snooker, chess, checkers, cards, or almost anything. Never having tried any of them we compromised on snooker. We got along pretty well after we discovered that you poke the ball with the end of the cue, rather than wielding it club fashion as in baseball. Eventually we wandered up a flight of stairs and into the cafeteria to placate our complaining appe- tites. The aroma of the food served as an excellent appetizer. Such hospitality! We had only to glance a second time at a particular dish and immediately a generous helping would be served to us. We couldn't understand it until we had the misfortune to encounter the cashier! Climbing another flight of stairs we found our- selves on the first floor. Passing by a room marked Men's Lounge, we were startled to note that the only occupants were four young ladies indulging in a game of bridge! Oh well, we expected anything by that time. Passing on into the main lounge we were pleasantly surprised by the attractive furnishings bathed in the soft light of lamps. A sketch class was grouped around the large radio, busily scratching away at their pads. We wanted to listen to our favorite radio program, but some girl was draped more or less Cmostly less! gracefully over the ma- chine and apparently intended to stay there all eve- 50 ning. Some persons certainly go to extremes just to have their choice in the selection of radio entertain- ment. We were very curious about the closed room marked Women's Lounge, but we restrained our- selves. We left our wraps at the free check stand: it isn't every day we run into such economical service. Seeing the hostess peering over a group of books from the rental library, we asked if the new Esquire was here. She handed it to us with the information that it had just arrived a few minutes ago. We opened it with great gusto, but already the Petty drawings had been torn out! An excited group a few feet away at that moment drawing lots for the Petty pic- tures in the next issue. Once a g ai n we ascended the stairs and found ourselves this time in the ball room, which covered the- en- tire second floor. We were taken aback by the size of the room with its walls and ceilings in pastel shades, the high vaulted ceiling and multicolored chande- liers. On the bandstand was a collection of at- tractive damsels and gay young men grouped around the piano on which one of their num- ber was pounding out a mean boogie - woogie. This was evidently the Modern Choir of whom we had heard so much. Moving closer we saw the leader, a blond giant clad in a conservative grey coat and blue denim trousers Noticing us he asked if there was anything he could do for us No, thank you, we replied, we re just looking just looking, eh? Glad to meetcha Im Bud Peterson A human being can stand only so much, and that was too much for us We sought refuge on the third floor We had been told that the Pine Room would probably be in use, and so it was Some branch of the student government was holding its weekly wrangle there, we went on into the Kansas room It was certainly a striking room the west wall was THE JAYHAWKER covered with a photo mural of the campus, most of rth wall was devoted to windows Can excellent the no view from those windos, by the way? and the 99-Sf and south wallsw ere covered by mirrors. They told us that this was the newest room in the building and a favorite for dinner dances. Probably girls enjoy admiring their dancing in those long mirrors, but we shuddered to think of our mortification at seeing ourselves falling down in the center of the floor as we did at the last dance. Passing on through the Kansas Room we wan- dered into the English Room and admired its rustic appearance until we were uncomfortably reminded of its similarity to the old family place. That was our home until we were 23 and moved to town where we had to wear shoes even on week days. Hearing t h e soft strains of a Strauss waltz we walked by the music r o o m , another new room containing a line record player and .a large collection of class- ical and semi- classical records - gift of the C a r n e g i e Foundation. We wanted to go in, but there wasn't even stand- ing room left, and so we went on down stairs. Arriving on the main floor once more we were about to leave when someone introduced us to Keith Spalding, president of the Student Union Activities Board. He shook our hands vigorously and apologized for not having seen us from his ofhce in the sub basement We gathered from his conversation that the Union was planning a full calendar of events for the coming year - parties, Carnivals, variety shows, dances, coffee hours, exhibits, contests, and many other activities which we can't began to recall, With nearly two hundred students helping to carry out the program he was certain that this would be a banner year for the Union.

Answers are answered now, regulations regulate as before, and Joe, the Diehard, lives happily CVGI after-a hermit! -by CW!'him' fofmlw plmlor hy Hal BI'fl7lf7l6 ,ff THE JAYHAXVKER -l-he Story of a Building IME was when a student could come to the Hill - and spend four years in the educational process without a glimpse into one of the nation's outstand- ing college museums. This year old Dyche unrolls the doormat, ending an era of cloistered repose. Curiously, the museum was the first branch of the University to get lin gear. Frank H. Snow, one of the original faculty of three men, came to Law- rence in the fall of 1866 for the opening of school. Arriving a few weeks early with some time to kill, heroamed the hills with a shotgun. The country was then still on the rugged side, and on these ex- cursions he bagged specimens of wild life which became the nucleus of further collections. Tempus fugited on, and, sad to relate, these col- lections were packed away in the basement of Old Snow Hall. Then came to the University a student without funds who camped on the slope of Mt. Oread where Dyche Museum was later built. The camper- outer was Lewis Dyche, who in time achieved the spectacular designation Professor of Anatomy and Physiology, Taxidermist and Curator of Mammals, Birds and Fishes. Less magnificient, but to the point, is head of the Zoology department. Dyche's exhibits at the Chicago Fair in '93 drew attention to the fact that Kansas had things other than prairie fires, Injuns and Carrie Nation-namely a Univer- sity which was beginning to go places. The need for a museum building grew, but plans were shelved in favor of the more practical Blake Hall, Fowler Shops and the chemistry building. The century turned, and with it the proverbial worm: In 1901 the legislature set aside an appro- priation of 375,000 for the long-needed building. Construction was of native limestone in modified Romanesque style. The rear wall was built in the shape of an arc to accommodate the world's largest panorama of natural history. The entrance is pat- terned after that of a Romanesque church in south- ern France, said to be the most beautiful doorway in the world. Gargoyles Cnot the thing for a sore throatj were executed by skilled carvers who set up their shop on the grounds. One of these leering figures high on the front wall is a bird perched on 53 QSM Kwafw a skull, the original Jayhawk. This old bird has seen Hill history on his very doorstep, beginning with the inauguration of Chancellor Strong in 1902. By the next spring the building was complete to the last red tile. Its tower added a fresh and grace- ful landmark to the campus skyline. The gargoyles grinned at Fraser Hall with its Victorian gingerbread across the street. Thus the displays which had excited press com- ment throughout the nation finally found suitable shelter and a practical, viewable arrangement. Oh, happy state of affairs! But not for long were things left that way-the tribe of the medics had increased, and they began to figit in their cozy quarters. In 1912 they moved bag and baggage into the basement of Dyche. This encroachment was thought to be only temporary until the encroachers, like the man who came to dinner,', ensconced themselves ad infinitum. Old Dyche groaned and settled back on its under- pinnings, while fossils and skeletons chummed around with frogs and embryos. On top of this, new exhibits steadily appeared. The original harmonious arrangement was modified and condensed. Years of stress finaly resulted in a case of shivering timbers, evident as early as the middle twenties. After that the condition grew rapidly worse. Footings were dangerously insecure. Timbers shrank, and the wood floors pulled away from the walls. The climax came in the fall of 1932, when mu- seum authorities took the chairman of the Board of Regents on a tour of inspection. What they found frightened said chairman into a fleet departure. He must have had visions of a heap of masonry tumbling down into Marvin Grove or blocking Mississippi Street. CA cultural calamity, not to mention the trafiic problem.D A man of few words, he directed that the building be vacated without dilly-dallying. Dyche Museum was ofhcially declared unsafe and closed for repairs on Thanksgiving Day, 1932. Moving the exhibits to the Commons and New Snow Hall went off with only one hitch-a load of heavy fossils was slightly mussed up when it plunged C Continued on Page 66 Q 54 The Tale of the HIS is the story of a ghost. You may believe it or not-as you like-but here it is, just as it was told to me by one of those little green beavers that keep running across my desk whenever I particularly want to study. Once, not so many years ago, there was a ghost on the campus named Mervin J. Abercrombie. Rumor has it that he came to the University because he had grown tired of haunting a fine old deserted mansion on the Upper Hudson. Abercrombie, you see, was not like most ghosts. He thought that rattling chains and shrieking and moaning and the other things that run-of-the-mill ghosts do were dull. ,But what else can a ghost do in fine old mansions on the Upper Hudson? Whimsical was the word for Abercrombie. H e wanted a place K where he could ex- ercise his imagina- tion. And he found k it on Mount Oread. Besides that, as he once confided to me, 'fine old mansions are most generally drafty-very draftyf You,ve no doubt come across Aber- crombie's work. I daresay every stu- dent and professor on the hill has seen lots of it, without realizing who was responsible. For instance, one of his chief delights lay in going about the University buildings at night and breaking all the chalk he found lying in the chalk-trays into small pieces about half and inch long. You should have heard him chuckle as he told about it. And I've been told by Those Who Know that Abercrombie had a library of his own-he if quite a literary chap, by the way. Have you ever called for a book at Watson Library, only to be told by the THE JAYHAWKER Green Beaver My Qlmance pei!-WMM librarians that they can't seem to hnd the book and that they don't know wbere it could be? That's more of our friend, Mr. A.'s work. He has compiled a li- brary of dozens of books, all of his own choosing. Where he kept them I don'r know, but they will no doubt be found sometime, as Abercrombie tended to be rather careless about such things. One of the most pleasant surprises of Aber- crombie's life Cas a ghostb came when he discovered the kitchens in the Home Economics department. It wasn't the kitchens themselves so much that tickled him-it was the fact that he found there both the ingredients and the facilities for making peanut- brittle, which I think he really likes more than any- thing else in the world. I doubt that a night passed that didn't find Aber- crombie over in the kitchens snining blissfully at his boil- ing pan of melted sugar etc. as he A stirred. Here I interrupted the green beaver. We have a host over at our house that doesn't have any nose, said I with a twinkle in my eye. No nose? said the green beaver, then how does he smell? Don't bother your pretty little head about that, I said, realizing that my green friend had a lot to learn. Get on with your story.', Well, Abercrombie began to get tired of pulling the same tricks week after week, and he began to think up new ones. He got a little fun from fixing the whistle so it wouldn't blow at the end of class sessions, but, as he preferred to work at night, he . soon abandoned that. Then he spent a few nights OCTOBER 1941 adjusting all the water fountains in campus buildings so that the water wouldn't spurt up more than half an inch when students turned them on to get a drink, I believe most of them still need to be readjusted. He found a little pleasure, when fall came around, in retouching the negatives of activity book photos so that when he had finished, most of the students' pic- tures resembled Abercrombie more than they did the students themselves. As I say, he enjoyed himself while he was doing these pranks. Yet all this began to seem rather trivial to him. He felt a yearning to devise bigger and cleverer tricks to play on people. And worse, what ended in his downfall was that he realized that no one knew that they were being tricked. He decided that when he began operations on a larger scale, all the credit should go-not to 'coincidence' or 'acci- dent'e-but to himself, Abercrombie, the ghost. Peo- ple should have a little more respect for his genius, he thought. 'Well,' he said sagely to himself, 'they soon will.' And he began making plans for a major offensive. An all-University convocation was to be held in Hoch Auditorium soon, and Abercrombie decided to be there. He went about the thing quite cleverly, even going to the Chancellor's office beforehand to get a copy of that worthy's speech-by night, of couse. When the convocation was called, Abercrombie was high up in that little room at the back of the second balcony-the room with the holes made in it for moving picture projectors. After the opening exer- cises, the Chancellor began to speak. Half a second after the Chancellor started, Abercrombie started, reading the same speech, word for word. The result- ing confusion of echoes was terrible. But did anyone look around? No. Not even those who were trying to listen to what the Chancellor was saying. 'Bad accoustics,' he heard a student say afterwards. 'Poohf said Abercrombie to himself, 'this has got to stop. It's no fun to pull people's legs if they don't know their legs are being pulledf So he schemed and he schemed, biding his time until he could find some Golden Opportunity to exer- cise his genius. If necessary, he decided, he would even let himself be seen, which shows how strongly the desire for recognition was becoming to dominate him. Abercrombie, you see, had previously always shrunk from appearing before humans because he had felt that that sort of thing was done only by the ordinary, unimaginative ghosts-the kind who could think of no original or clever ways of entertaining 55 themselves. But, as I said, he was so much influenced by this hunger for appreciation that he decided he must make himself known to his victims, even if he had to 'appear before them and tell them pointblank how they had been tricked by Abercrombie, the Clever Ghost. i His chance came sooner than he had expected. One night, feeling in a scientific mood, he decided that he would make his peanut brittle in one of the laboratories in Bailey. He went over to the Home Ec. kitchens, and bundled up in packages the necessary ingredients, and took them over to the chemistry building. As it was after midnight, the -building was dark, but absence of light, you know, is no obstacle to a ghost. He found a small laboratory, ignoring the odor in the manner of a true scientist, and soon busied himself in making his favorite of favorites. just as he was setting a steaming pan of peanut brittle on the sill of an open window to cool he heard,a scraping noise in the room adjacent to his own. He slipped out into the hallway and found light streaming from the doorway of the other room. He peeked in. There, perched on a high stool, absorbed in some very complicated-looking glass apparatus, was a young man with uncombed hair and spectacles. A research scholar, Abercrombie decided. He stood there a moment in the hallway. i'Then his mind began to make little whirring noises. Tiny voices began to shout inside him. 'Nowif your chuuce, Ahercromhie! Come ou, now! Some- thing clever! Lei him have it! Arxert yourrelf. Aher- cromhie, you clever dog, you! Do Jomethiug, Aher- cromhie, do Jomethiug! That's the way his mind worked. Suddenly determined, he slipped into the room, unnoticed by the preoccupied scholar. Finding a packet of paper matches, he tore one of them out. Then he silently crept up behind the boy with the spectacles, and placed the torn end of the match in the crack between the sole and upper of his victim's left shoe in the region of the small toe. The scholar noticed none of this. He remained unaware even when Abercrombie struck another match and lighted the planted one-but not for long. When the region of the left small toe became suddenly and painfully warm, he leaped from the stool with a howl, ran to a sink, filled a beaker with water, and poured same on the r. of the lift s. t. Abercrombie stood back, watching all the while, f C outiuued ou Page 701 56 THE JAYHAWKER QGOO those IOS mio, senorita, this Kansas, she is so different -such action, such talk, such food! Our South America was never like this! Our life at home is so very casual: our customs, our speech, our business, and relaxation-a sort of easy-does-it philosophy of living. But how sportive is the Americano! A friendly, witty fellow who just busies himself about, effervescing with his eternal chatter. But, to us of South America, he is such an amazing person. His wonders seem never to cease. First off and, perhaps most astonishing of all, he eats so very, very strangely. Three soft snacks for the day, and gastronomicaly he is satisfied. We are both duly amazed and beastly hungry. It is hard, when in North America to eat as the North Ameri- cans do, for we have been blessed with the South American appetite! We eat often, and but mucho! Four meals daily, generous, tasty, filling. Sweet domestic wines accompany each of our liberal repasts, and coffee, too-teal coffee! We do not understand your North American coffee, it is so weak and, as we call it, udishwater-like, in both fiat flavor and sallow shade. We enjoy our coffee as our coffee is - hot as hell, dark as night, and sweet as love. Dating is not a South American custom-defi- nitely! Often several of us senoritas go to the after- noon movies together. We always leave a seat vacant between each of us. When the lights are dimmed, boys may take those seats, but before the lights are brightened, again, the boys must leave. At the mid- point of the feature, our movies have a short inter- mission, when the boys withdraw for a smoke-they may never be seen with us without a chaperone. In the evenings we go out for entertainment in mixed groups to the clubs, the movies, or to private homes. We play bridge, dance, and chat. A girl does not go out in the evening unless with the group. Going steady is distinctly taboo, but it may be done on the sly. Our families highly disapprove of steady- ing and any such deviation from social convention is gravely chastened. Our marriages are actually ar- ranged between families, the fpersonal feelings of the iq W aaa intended couple are not always seriously regarded. Any wooing done must be strictly on the q.t. Since dating is forbidden by tradition, we naturally do not have such a custom as the friendly K.U. jelly or coke date-we do not have even a toddy,' or a media cana. Our toddy is little more than choco- late milk, but our media cana is a champagne cock- tail. South America is not, what you Kansans say, dry, cocktails are proper, and we often cocktail in our customary groups. Gatherings are always planned thirty minutes earlier than the intended hour, because it is our habit to allow for a half an hour manner time -it is both crude and rude to arrive on time! We often have ranch parties, similar to the North American house parties, on the weekends. Several of our groups get together for a few days of gaiety and festivity. It is a gala fiesta stuffed with riding, swimming, singing, dancing, and good times. In our country no one would consider skiing, tobogganing, or any other winter sport in january, rather, we would suggest a nice cool swim. Our seasons are reversed in South America, january is our warmest month. School lets our in December for vacation until March. Our favorite sport is swim- ming, and so many families move to the beach while school is not in session. On Sundays, everyone is off to the horseraces. Our july holidays, on the other hand, correspond to the North American Christmas- tide. Rugby and polo are daytime excitement, but in the evenings we dance the rhumba and samba to our native rhythm bands. Cutting-in and dim lights for dancing would shock our people. Our schools are comparatively small. Colleges are day schools, there is no social life, no varsities no traditions. We have no campus nor campus life. The glorious spirit and enthusiastic organization of K.U. students is lacking in our country. Athletic events are not stressed, we play no football, only a few courses are offered in the colleges. Boys must study the branches studied by boys: law, engineering, business, or medicine. There is nothing similar to I JOCELYN EHRKE sororities or fraternities in South America. The quest for higher knowledge is a dull, tedious process, K.U. seems to transform this search into a magnetic desire and fortunate enjoyable expe- rience. Although we have attended English schools in South America, it is difficult for us to adapt our- selves to an exclusive use of that language. This is one of our greatest problems. Unconsciously and quite naturally, words of our native Spanish tongue occasionally slide out. Their effect on strangers is often entertaining, but the last laugh is seldom ours. Often we cannot express ourselves clearly in English, and then the trouble occurs. Recently attempting to purchase a comb in a dime store, one of us held the article up to the salesgirl, and forgetting the English word, The peinee, please. The busy salesgirl, misunder- standing, corrected us crankily, Combs are ten cents. We understood and nodded, Yes, one peinee, please. The exasperated salesgirl refused the sale-a typical predicament. A Spanish- English dictionary is our loyal standby. Frequently, little cases of homesickness visit us in the evenings, We dream of our beautiful country, of Rio and Rosario, of our families, of home-cooked native food, but we are not too lonely-the neighborly American hospitality is too warm and sincere. I, Jocelyn Ehrke, am from Rosario, Argentina. Art is my interest, Pi Phi, my connection. I will Photor by farm Brock study at K.U. two years, before return- ing to my Latin home. I, Cecilia Goncalves, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, am enrolled in varied courses which I cannot get at home. I am here for the year, living in Corbin. I am Marmaduque Grove Valen- zuela from Chile. I attend the Univer- sity of Kansas on a scholarship and am here to continue my studies in civil engineering. I was born in Tacna, Chile, in 1916, and have lived in Paris and in London. I attended public school in England and was graduated with honors in 1934 from the Insti- tute Ingles. I was graduated from the University of Chile in 1940 in civil engineering. After which I was em- ployed by the Public Road Depart- ment of the Chilean government. I live at the Delta Upsilon house and enjoy a Rotarian scholarship as well as the recommendation of the Chilean Commission of the Institute of Inter- national Education which has brought me to the University of Kansas. We like the United States-its people and its spirited atmosphere. We would like to travel to see it more and more and more. It is all so very interest- ing. We are happy to be here with you all on the Hill. And finally, in our native tongue, Hasta la vista, amigos! CECILIA GONCALVES plaotox by Brock OCTOBER 1941 Doctor of Philosophy, professor, writer, authority on reptiles-in fact Dr E H Taylor of the zoology department has done and can do almost anthing. His life has had that dash of adventure that We all dream about. A K.U. man from freshman to Ph.D., Professor Taylor interspersed his studies with a 12-year exploration trip in the Far East. During this period he lived two years with a tribe of head hunters, was governor of a Phillipine province, and Chief of Fisheries of the Phillipine Islands. In the winter of '17-'18 he helped fight a typhus epidemic in Omsk, Sibera. Returning to K.U, in 1925, he received his Ph.D. in 1927, and has been teaching Comparative Anatomy ever since. He admits he is the best collector of reptiles in the world with a smile and ample proof. He has written over a hundred maga- zine articles and several books. If he ever retires, he will probably spend eight hours a day swimming.. or scouring Mexico for reptiles, as he has done for ten summers. In spite of his many accomplishments , Professor Taylor likes to say, I never take myself too seriously, and can laugh at myself if necessary. by 8014 Gaflehidlfl A true jayhawker is Min Rare Morgan, assistant professor of English, who was educated on Mt. Oread and has taught here since 1910. Miss Morgan is a woman of many interests, one of which is cooperative housing for both boys and girls on the campus. I believe, she said, that this is one of the most helpful aids to students of the universityf' A poet of ability, Miss Morgan has had some of her poems published in magazines throughout the world. She'is also interested in students who wish to .write, and has helped many to succeed in this profession. Born in Leavenworth, Kansas, Miss Morgan has traveled extensively during her teaching timeouts She spent a year of study at Oxford University in England and has attended summer lectures at England's Cambridge University. Miss Morgan is one of those teachers to whom Mt. Oread is home. The University of Kansas is a part of her as well as she is a part of it. She is a familar figure on the campus and an object of admiration to those who enjoy her friendship. iq Kala Skoaf In 1937, the University of Kansas was fortunate to add to the stall of the department of philosophy, Mr. Clifford P. Osborne. Through our gain, however, the University of Chicago suffered a loss, as, live years prior to his appearance on Mt.

Professor George Smith, new Dean of the School of Education, is a major in the coast artillery reserve. This summer he was called up for duty in Alaska but was put back on reserve because he has hay fever. He served in the Army for a time at Fort Knox, Kentucky, just after he graduated from the University of Minnesota. He thinks military training is good for young men, whether 'a state of emergency exists or not. How- ever, he would like to see students deferred until they can finish their University work, especially if they are advanced in their fields. Dr. Smith received his Ph.D. degree from Colum- aa Www Emmqw bia University. For four years he was athletic coach at Community high school in Norton, Illinois. Later he was on the staff of Kentucky University, Buffalo University, and Brown University. He was at Iowa University before coming here. The new Dean predicts a brilliant future for the School of Education. He has plans for expansion of vocational education for undergraduates. He also wants to build up the University High School. He says he is looking forward with pleasure to his relationships with students and the people of the state. In the latter capacity he already is much in demand as a speaker throughout the state. ocrosax 1941 ri in Qld Places HEER up, freshmen. Even professors get lost. Miss Edna Hill, new head of the home econom- ics department, got lost her first week in Lawrence. She feels she has a lot in common with new students, although she is not new to college surroundings. She wants to expand the department of home eco- nomics to include courses for men and non-major students. She thinks the head of the house should know as much about how the household is run as the female member does. She thinks courses in child care, nutrition and management would be valuable to any student on the Hill. This likable new professor is a New Englander by plootof by Brock l birth and still retains some of that Yankee accent. She vows she likes the Midwest just as well now, though. She was on the faculty at the University of Iowa for 17 years before coming here. She was an undergraduate in Simmons College in Boston. She was awarded her graduate degrees at Columbia University. When she accepted the position as head of the home economics department here, she had her hobby in mind. Like the proverbial postman who took a walk on his holiday, Miss Hill's hobby is perfection of whole wheat bread. She thinks Kansas wheat will be a help in following her avocation. illfho Blows F YOUR instructor isn't through when the whistle blows, get up and go. No, those words are not the counselling of an omniscient sophomore to a bewildered freshman. They are University orders-a Chancellor's decree issued by Chancellor Frank Strong in an announce- ment on March 25, 1912, concerning the replace- ment of class bells by the campus whistle. Chancellor Strong was entirely serious when he made that announcement in 1912-and since that day only faculty members who are hard of hearing havellkept their classes after the whistle blows. CWhat's that you say?D X ' There has been quite a controversy raging down through the ages as to Who Blows the Whistle. One school of thought on this question maintains that the whistle is shnply the combined moans Cstified of coursej which erupt from the Fruedian subconscious portion of the student body contemplat- ing the next class. Granted that there is very little demonstrative proof behind this theory, but the pro- ponents of this concept have worked themselves into a fanatic organization the effects of which can be dis- cerned throughout the campus. Slightly less revolutionary is the recent theory that the whistle is the result of the accumulation of stiffled snores. Snoring, a quite common, but never- theless frowned upon, practice upon university campuses, is recognized by the adherents of this school as the dynamic and mechanique of the whistle as we know it today. These first two theories have been classified in recent years under the heading of the Stiflation Series which refers, of course, to the fact that both presuppose that moans and snores are capable of being stiffled. H The more athletically inclined students and think- ers on this question attribute the actuality of the whis- tle to the fact that an ancient sage of Mt. Oread, Rocko Chocko, prophesied back in the beginning that some day, some cold smart fall day, the Univer- sity of Kansas would defeat the University of Ne- braska on the field of gridironic battle. To these believers the whistle is a reminder that the sons of THE JAYHAWKER the Whistle fayaa cami Kansas have not yet fulfilled .that prophesy and it weighs heavy upon the grave of old Rocko Chocko. The deduction of these firm followers is that upon the day that Kansas beats Nebraska, whether it be by hook or crook, the whistle will not sound for forty days and nights. The mystic element of the campus has a belief on this philosophical question which certainly bears mention. They base their explanation on the grounds that once on Mt. Oread roamed a giant whose size and strength was the superior of all. In the early days of K.U. this invincible super man came to Law- rence to rid the region of a devastating dragon known as Finalia Examina. This lady dragon had vanquished all whom she had faced. Although she possessed the strength of a Tarzan she preferred to kill her victims by means of mental tortue . . . literally squeezing their brains out. The giant and the dragon met in Memorial Stadium to have it out . . . and as is the inevitable outcome of a conflict of man with the other sex, the giant slew the dragon. The students were so overjoyed at the death of the dread dragon that they decided to set the giant up to a hamburger at one of the Hill joints. This they did. And the impossible, but highly predictable, hap- pened . . . it killed him. Immediately subsequent to tasting the lethal first bite, the gargantuan one let out a roar which he alone realized was to be his last mortal vocal offering. To the followers of this mystic school of thought that roar is. still reverberat- ing throughout the hills of Lawrence and returns hourly in the supposed person of the whistle. It is easy to see the confusion which these many schools of thought have bred in a disturbing one. In light of this fact your JAYHAWKER has investi- gated and is prepared to give you the authentic story of Who Blows the Whistle. The facts which are contained below completely explode all previously existing theories on this matter, and serve as one more example of the progres that our University is making in the search of truth. The whistle was not a campus innovation in 1912, but its use as a professorial shut-off was. According ocronex 1941 to the University Weekly for December 9, 1899, the whistle first was used as a 7:45 a.rn, alarm and as a closing-hours curfew. Automobiles and three- minute breakfasts have rendered obsolete the 7:45 morning alarm. Ingersoll watches and efficient house mothers have made unnecessary the evening curfew. Last vestige of the 1899 system is the present 8 o'clock morning whistle-that last- chance call. That final appeal. Enough of the history, you say. Who blows the darn thing? Try asking a power plant em- ployee-more than likely he answer, That would have been a good question back in 1928. Now the whistle-blower might be J. Rodney Morrison or Jenongahanna P. Oberdowski. But it isn't. In 1929 the hand-operated steam valve was replaced by an automatic whistle - blower, one of the University's most delicate, complicated, and relatively ex- pensive pieces of equipment. At eight each morning and at 20 minutes past each hour until 4:20 p.m., six days a week, the robot goes into action and the whistle emits a deep-throated roar which often has been heard as far away as Lecompton and Eudora. The robot is in a dust-proof glass case in the electrical shop of the building occupied by the department of buildings and grounds. Its mechanism consists chiefly of two program clocks, one for regular school days and one for convocation days. Each clock has four electric circuits which connect it by an under- ground cable with additional mechanism in the power plant. 1 ' sl .

A 12-inch cylinder, called a calendar drum, contains perforations which represent the days of the week. Each day has perforations cover- ing every minute in a 12-hour period. In these holes, about the size of a pinhole, tiny steel pegs are placed-a peg on the exact minute of each day when the whistle is to blow. This drum makes only one revolution per week. Rube Goldberg had nothing on the guy who invented this whistle-blower. A second cylin- der, the timing drum, turns once every hour. This drum has a sixteenth-inch le v e r , under spring tension, which passes over each perforation on the calendar drum. When this tiny lever strikes a perforation con- taining a steel peg, it causes an electric circuit to close. The circuit pulls a chain which opens a steam valveg the valve releases steam into a long pipe which carries it to the roof of the north end of the power plant, and, at a pressure of 175 pounds per square inch, this steam is forced through a 24- inch brass cylinder. Thus the whistle blows, a sixteenth-inch lever striking an eighth-inch peg in a pinhole perforation regulates a blast which can be heard for many miles. According to University en- gineers, the cost of blowing the whistle amounts to 18 cents per day, 553.60 per month, or 339.60 for the eleven-month school year. That means ap- proximately one cent per stu- dent per year. 64 THE IAYHAXVKER SCHOOL OF PHARMACY I FIRST ROW Erma Lee Wallace Muriel Henry James Hoppe Warren Rlx A B Gausz Lloyd Roser Prof L. D.

It is very interesting to notice that although the retail druggists make up the largest single group of graduates, they number less than half-only 48 per cent of the total.

In twenty years of experience with college publications ranging from Syra- cuse University to Utah and from Wisconsin to Texas, I have known editors whom I would rank above Brownie, purely as editors, includ- ing several on the jaybawker. But when it comes to publisher:-those who determine broad policy, who keep their Hnger on public taste and desire, and shape a publication to meet them, who can select and hire editors and fellows like me-for that highest reach of the arts of the press, out of all I've known give me Quentin Brown. Some day I hope he will come back to pub- lishing, and apply what he learned on the Iuybawker and later as business manager of the Kanmn. I believe that he will, for he has printer's ink in his blood, and that is well known to be an incurable infection. It was Brown, more than anyone else, who sensed and charted the jay- bawkefr dynamic but delicate balance Wabiwkzfabi ON MAIN AT TENTH KANSAS ein, Missouni We Know That You Are Interested in Sports . . .

He es- tablished guide posts and warning sig- nals that have served jaylmwker editors ever since, and that are as clear today as his highway markers. But what I marvelled at, even more, to find it so strongly developed in a chap in his early twenties, was his respect for facts, even when they were unpleasant. He didn't kid himself, and I am sure that is even more true today -if possible. No quality is more important in any enterprise. On the first flight of the Iaybawker in magazine form, it was vital. And almost if not quite equally so was George Fry's selling ability. just where and what George is doing today, I'm sorry not to know. CFred Ells- worth, please write.J But I guess that he's in Oklahoma, and bet that he's selling something, and lots of it, if the priorities permit. George was from Oklahoma, and he found nothing in- consistent-nor is there-between fierce loyalties to his home and the University of Kansas. That was 1953, remember. The bank holiday had occurred only that spring. During the summer and the year that followed, busines was on the upgrade, but very modest about it. It was getting better, but it had been awfully sick and terribly scared. I don't know where the Iaylaawker could have found a student, better adapted to its new and current conditions, than George Fry. George was C and I'm sure he still isj mercurial. When he was down, he was very, very down, and we had to scrape F U N K ' S Mortuary and Chapel I AMBULANCE SERVICE I PHONE 119 68 him up with a knife. But that was comparatively seldom, and when he was up, he was a pistol. He wasn't afraid to call on any business man, no matter how hedged about by secre- taries. In fact, he was such a good- looking devil, of the hard-riding light cavalry type, that secretaries of the more interesting kind were usually nice to him. And when George got in to see his man, he could talk convincingly of the merits of the jaybawker. The more so, because he believed in it with a faith, quite without irreverence, closely akin to his faith in God and country. And George knew the value of a dollar, and how hard it is to make one, which in those days was something of a new or re-discovery on the lay- bawker, but which has not been lost sight of since, I am glad to say. George and Quentin were political enemies of the first order. In such trivial pastimes as Council elections, they stalked and fought each other with knives and hatchets, no quarter asked or given, and each howled with delight when he sunk one in the other. But they agreed firmly on the principle, and established it solidly, that the lay- bawker is not in politics. It is no Chinese monkey: it observes and rec- ords and interprets the political scene. But so far as journalistic frailty will 'MEET YOUR FRIENDS AT a CHARLIE LONG'S Blue Mill permit, it is impartial. It has no party and no allegiences except to the Uni- versity and the student body. Wfell, all this has made me feel quite Mr. Chips-y, in a junior kind of way, but I make no apologies for the senti- ment. Year in and year out, the jay- lmwker and its stalls gave me more thrills, more response in good work to my own efforts, more Hne friendships from students to an older man, than any other campus publication I ever served, and those things mean much. It isn't much of a bowl, but the roses are the best in my garden. o Flying Jayhawkers fcontinued from Page 291 without a worry. I am not a good pilot yet, but I can get up and get down, Rex says that any landing you can walk away from is a good one. I like to fly. It's not at all like driv- ing a car, it's more fun. You have to be more careful and absolutely sure of what you're doing, but it gets to be habitual after so long. Of course, it isn't all fun, it gets monotonous at times. Like anything else, when you do one thing over and over in order to get it correct, you become stale. At this point you may be discouraged because you can't seem to learn. You start wondering if yOu'll ever be a pilot. But soon, the process becomes more or less mechanical and you've learned it. However, you never learn enough in the primary course that you can quit working hard con- stantly on precision and control. I think the hardest thing in the en- tire course, though, was getting up five mornings a week in time to go to a 7:30 ground school class. It's interest- ing, of course, because we used almost THE JAY1-IAWKER Civil Air Regulations, care and main- tenance of a plane, and some about radio. They say that your ground school grades' are pretty important, es- pecially if you plan to take the ad- vanced courses. Dad, I've had just enough flying that I want to do some more--lots more. There were thirty of us in the primary course, and twenty of those can get into the advanced course if our instructors will recommend us. A pri- vate license will allow us to fly these light planes like the Aeroncas we have been trained in, but I want to take the advanced course and learn some acto- batics with the larger Waco Trainers. After that course, I want to take the cross country flying course and fly the big Beechcraft they have at the airport. When I finish that one, I'1l probably take the instructor's course and get an instructor's rating, which would make me eligible to get a job teaching flying. Considering the fact that we only have to pay for our insurance in each course, except a flight kit in the cross country course, I think I'd better go on with my flying in these courses, because Congress appropriates the money for the Civilian Pilots Training Program each year. The government spends about 2500 dollars apiece for one fConlinued on Page 702 'l--I-' -X- TOPS IN PASTRIES D R A K E ' S 907 MASS. PIIONE 635 1509 MASS.

COUNTRY CLUB PLAZA B 'Glad to know you, I'm Aber- crombiel' said the ghost, with a note of exultation in his voice. The scholar gave him a second hurried glance, then, taking no more notice of him, stepped over to his laboratory table and began putting his apparatus away. 'These late hours are getting me down. I'll have to get more sleep, or some- thing, or i'll go nuts!' he muttered. 'When a guy starts imagining sudden pains and ghosts, it's time he should do something about it!' Now this was not the way Aber- crombie had planned for the thing to work out. He explained to an un- tesponding audience that he, Aber- crombie, the ghost, had given him the hotfoot, and wasn't it really a rather clever trick? No matter how long or loudly he protested and pleaded, the scholar paid no attention to him. The only response he got was a muttered 'Gotta get more sleepl' as the scholar put on his hat and hurried from the room. WeH, said the green beaver, Abercrombie was so discouraged and so disgusted that he decided to chuck the whole thing and go back to the simple life. When I last heard about him, he was leading a peaceful, ordi- nary existence in a iine old mansion on the Lower Hudson. They say he's perfectly contentedf' Knowing that he had reached the end of his story, I thanked the green beaver, who was a very nice green beaver as green beavers go. And as green beavers go, he went. As for me, I turned up my radio and went back to my studying, a sad- der and wiser man. 0 Intramurals lMen'sl lCanlinued from Page 461 ticipate if he has less than a B hos- pital rating. Touch football competition usually arouses the most student interest and this year there are eighteen eleven-man teams and twenty-four six-man teams starting the season. The defending champion Phi Gams have last year's all-star selections Louis Reideter, Fritz Smith, and Swede Olson returning in addition to veterans Chain Healy and Larry McSpadden. Other all-stars who will see action this year include UO-9 N o Picture Here 000 Artist ls Enjoying Himself at the Kansas Union ARE YOU P 72 Tom Lillard, Beta, john Gage, Sig Alphg and Warren Newcomer, Phi Delt.

Anita Smith of the Delta Gamma house says that although her chapter is new it is bursting with enthusiasm and spirit for its first intramural sports competition. The Kappa Kappa Gamma house, from which Lo Smith is sport's leader, is forecasted this year, as before to be one of the strongest organizations in sports. The Kappas have won the sil- ver cup for the last two years, but will have to overcome stiff opposition to get the third and final leg on the trophy. Mary Beth Dodge will rep- resent them in tennis singles and Lo Smith and Eva McGill will be their contestants in swimming and diving events. Shirley Irwin is back again to be the wizard of the ping-pong table. Also, a newcomer from the Kappa house in ping-pong is Marjorie Tib- bets. The participation of this house in team sports has always been out- standing, and Lo Smith predicts that this year the teams will be just as strong, if not stronger, than ever be- fore. The Kappas also have an able representative in horseshoes-Betsy Dodge. ' From the Kappa Alpha Theta house come many all-around sports-women -Peggy Davis, who was high point medalist from all organized houses last year, jane Stites, Betty Roberts, joan Franklin, and Marjorie Snyder, Katie Shoaf was named as the best prospect for baseball and Dorothy Fizzell for basketball. Peggy Davis reports that last yeat's basketball team will be back this year, and because of last year's ex- periencelwill be quite strong. Pi Beta Phi's intramural sports leader, Lois Howell, forcasts a good year for her house. She lists as her out- standing promises-Billie Giles in THE JAYHAWKER tennis and basketballg Jill Peck, Miriam Bartlett, Barbara Winn, and Pat Arnall in team sports, and Teddy and Lucy Comley, Zibby Peairs, and Helen Her- rick in swimming. Lois Howell admits the loss of a few all-around athletes, but says that their places have been taken by new girls just as gifted. Helen Wilkins, the representative from the Gamma Phi Beta house, 're- ports the most, promising athletes in her house to be Margaret Learned, last year's president of Quack Club, and Doris Twente, outstanding in team sports.

All told, it sounds as though competition would be high and enthu- siasm endless. I A Postscript 'lo Politics fCom'inned from Page 421 With t:his background of general beliefs, my inevitable personal con- clusion must be that student govern- ment at Kansas holds remarkable po- tentialitia for the students and the school if it is but given an honey chance by all those concerned. It is not a game that can be played only by those with personal gain for which to strive. If there is no general concern over the common issues then the elected few have no legitimate func- tion and their purposes must become indeed petty. .The same considerations must ap- ply equally to the individual gain or loss that may come from intimate as- sociation with campus politics. Sin- cerely performed, a political career at the University may bring that most valuable of all possessions, a host of friends There is but little occasion to create animosity if the part is played vigorously and honestly. And most important of all to the individual, there is no need for a person to com- promise his own personal standards or beliefs in order to succeed. Por the important thing is not so much the winning or losing, as the contacts that can be made and maintained through a vigorous political life. Many of the best-known and liked Hill personalities have connected themselves dosely with campus politics, and yet have never run for oice themselves All these considerations carefully compounded together are things which I think I have not always realized clearly. In fact, I have probably never before this made a conscious analysis of my personal beliefs on this score. But here I think I have ser down a sort of Credo which I very genuinely hope may at least give some few an occa- sion to revalue their concepts of campus 3 politics, which M too frequently is not as high 5 I believe it could and should be.

Changes in administrative policy of the College are usually ,first discussed in a general meeting of the faculty. Then the administrative committee, composed of the dean, assistant dean, and six members works out the details. This committee outlines general pre- cedents to be followed, allowing the deans to apply such decisions in spe- cific cases. Doubtful cases concerning waiving of certain regulations are brought before the committee. The faculty does not sign away all its authority by any means. It main- tains an active interest in all admin- istrative matters, and is remarkable for its independence of thinking, Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College, has ob- served. The organization of the College is broken down into departments com- posed of all faculty members instruct- ing a certain general subject. The faculty of the department is re- sponsible for determining the policy of that department. Each one is headed by a department chairman chosen by the Chancellor. The department makes up its own class schedule, subject to College and University regulations, then submits its schedule 'to the Dean of the College, who checks it for con- flicts in rooms or times, then turns the schedule for the entire school over to the room committee of the Chan- cellor's ofice. This committee checks on the same conflicts between the schools and makes any changes neces- sary. ' Recommendations for advancement of faculty members are made by the departmental chairmen to the Budget Committee of the University. This committee, composed of Dean Lawson of the College, Dean Moreau of the School of Law, Dean Stauifer of the Graduate School, who has been its chairman for l8 years, and Raymond Nichols, Chancellor's Secretary, dis- cusses the merits of each faculty mem- ber recommended for advancement and makes its recommendation to the Chancellor. The Chancellor, as already mentioned, then submits the changes to the Board of Regents. When a school not represented on the commit- tee is being discussed, the dean of that school attends the meeting. THE JAYHAWKER These last two administrative proc- esses serve merely as examples to indi- cate the manner in which the complete University administrative organization operates. This article is intended to explain the framework of University administration, to show the relations between the various offices and officers in order that the sources of those deci- sions and policies which are of vital interest to the students may be more clearly understood.

Or do you agree that when the students stopped singing We beat the team that beat Ne braska and started chanting Send him back to Har var the transition was from football spirit to that of a degenerate 1rrat1onal1ty7 We have carefully made the distinction between football spirit and school spirit We feel that one can exist without the other and that of the two it is far more important that we have school spirit than football spirit Football spirit requires a winning football team Practically speaking today it requires a large invest ment in football material A school which seeks to produce a football spirit should have in addition to its coaching staff a well organized personnel depart ment which seeks out good football material and then proceeds to bring it into the school In many cases the best football material is not sufficiently academic THE JAYHAWKER we do not wish to argue But we do wish to know what difference that makes in our loyalty to our alma mater We jayhawkers are either ignorant of or take little notice of such things as the fact that the University of Kansas belongs to the Association of American Universities an honor of which only three out of her nine gridiron opponents can boast The Univer sity of Kansas ranks better than many of her oppon ents in the number of starred men of science On the scholastic front the University of Kansas can more than hold her own with these adversaries who trampled her down on the football field Yet is foot ball more important than scholarship Granted that we would like to keep the scholastic standard and have a good football team too But which is the more important? And if colleges are founded more or less on the principle of providing for higher learning why should a students pride and loyalty for his school rise and fall with the foot ball team s record? To get back to the most recent demonstration of Spirit Monday November 17th At 1 30 p m the students hooted the name of the man whom they cheered and applauded at 4 50 the same afternoon At 1 30 pm the students were following a leader who had risen from their ranks At 5 o clock the same afternoon he had been doused in Potter s Lake by his frenzied followers These inconsistencies for the most part were felt by the students on the next morning as Mt Oread awoke with something of a hangover Many steps have been taken such as the creation of the Unity Committee to smooth things over and the apology of the Councils was well in order . . . . . , J D .

School spirit is an intangible something which can best be defined as loyalty. Isn't it possible to be loyal to a school that has no football team? And if so, isn't it possible to be loyal to a school which has an inedicient football team. Whether our football 'team is good or bad, Our only suggestion is that every student who chanted Take him back to Harvard drop in and see the Chancellor. If you do, you will meet a very impressive personality. You will meet a man who has more school spirit than you, You will meet a fearless, courageous man with an excellent Sense of humor. You will meet the best man that the Uni- versity of Kansas could have for its Chancellor. 95. we Ji j V I N jffil R, 4-W kn.. f , , , ,. 'Si P533 QQ' I I3 - A .' if 'V ii P LAY .U 1 vvx f' f ff 'n..

Q DECEMBER 14 FEW short months ago, I was lecturing 1n the class room at the University of Kansas Al ready, at that time the country was mobilizing its productive facilities in an effort to make the United States the arsenal of democracy Army camps were being built, bomber plants were being constructed shipyards were busy Words and combinations of letters such as priorities, allocations, selectee, O P M and O PA CS had come into common usage Our acquaintances and friends had begun to move into the Army, the Navy, and the Marine Corps In many parts of the world men were fighting suffer ing, and dying But all was quiet along the Kaw On the surface, at least, all seemed calm on Mount Oread We attended classes as usual, the regular dances, proms, and entertainments were given on schedule There were the usual number of steak fries, and the sororities received their usual quota of five pound boxes of candy The slopes were a little greener, perhaps, for after a decade of waiting the rains had finally come Only a few dandelions dotted fffiwefffaeff 7aaWaf about degrees, professions, business careers, and mar riage I' he University is but a transitory and prepara tory phase of their lives But the invasion of the neutral countries, the fall of France, the glorious and horrible retreat at Dunkirk had changed everything The future seemed to hold only war and the horrors of war and, for most men, active participation seemed The present seemed to take on new meaning No longer could men count on the future, life was too uncertain Each day must be lived for itself The students turned to Omar Khayyam Eat, drink and be merry they would quote In the class room, I could observe a certain impatience with the develop ment of discount policy in the first half of the 19th Century The theories of Robertson, Hawtrey and Keynes fell on polite but deaf ears Life was much too short' The famous in the long run phrase, so useful in classical economics, was hardly treated with the respect to which its venerable years entitled it Many firmly believed and openly expressed the idea the Hill for we had eliminated them in one concerted attack that for them there was to be no long run , Mm nu Hi num HlHNE Hu IlHll Cand I had won a coke for my super-effortsb. The campus was as I had remembered it from other Springs. All was quiet along the Kaw. Or was it? Beneath the ap- parent calm, I seemed to detect a strange new restlessness in the air. The stirrings in other parts of the world had begun to have their effect, and the war clouds were casting their shadows over the campus. Life went on as usual, but there was a subtle dif- ference. Normally, students live in the future, they are thinking Joe Taggart, former associate professor of economics at the University of Kansas is now Regional Business Consultant for the United States Department of Commerce in Kansas City, Missouri. Perhaps I am wrong in my diagnosis, it may be that my observations were too few in number and covered too short a period of time. But it is certain that, as the commencement sea- son approached, I became in- creasingly aware of a changing student attitude: In the discus- sions of campus leaders, in the questions students asked, both in and out of the classroom, in their daily activities and interests. It was an attitude with which I could sympathize and, in large measure, could share. I must con- 88 fess that, as the flow of black news from abroad con- tinued, as the United States seemed to move closer and closer to war, my own confidence was somewhat shaken. It seemed rather futile to discuss the gold problem and the trend toward inflation with those who soon would be active participants in the great conliict. Five months away from the University have given me a new perspective. I know that the University must play a greater role than ever before in its his- tory. Now I am beginning to realize the tremendous part to be played by the students and the faculty in the present crisis facing our country and our world. The great universities of the country are among the most important of our defense agencies. It is true that they do not furnish arms and ammunition, they do not furnish airplanes and bombers. But they do furnish trained minds and, in the defense of our civilization, that is not an unimportant contribution. In the period ahead, America may actively engage in a shooting war. Many students may be enrolled in the armed forces of our country, but few will die in that conflict. When the roars of the cannon and of the bomber fade, when the world is officially at peace, there will have been taken only a short step toward the salvation of our civilization. The impor- tance and the difiiculty of the tasks remaining can hardly be overestimated. In the peace to come, we must guard against the evils of another Versailles. We must guard against a world disrupted by all kinds of barriers to trade. We must guard against the worship of that god of poverty and war, self-sufliciency. Not only Europe but the Whole world must be reconstructed. A new political and economic unity must be established, and it must beibased on justice and well-being for all of the peoples of the world. If we fail in this task, we betray those who have laid down their lives in this struggleg and another generation will bring new wars, new sufferingsparld new sacrifices. Here, then, is the great challenge to the univer- sities, to the students, and to the faculties. It calls for dedication to new and more serious purposes. It THE JAYHAWKER calls for intensive preparation for future tasks. It calls for trained and well-balanced minds. It may seem trite to say that civilization depends upon the students of today but, if the world of tomorrow can not count on the brains and the training of the men and women now enrolled in the great universities of our country, it will indeed be poor. May the campus which we love so well continue to be calm. But may it be a calm of grim determina- tion and consecration. May it be a calm inwhich there is hard and purposeful training for the great tasks ahead. And out of that calm may the men and women of the University of Kansas emerge to take their places in the front ranks of those who will build a brave new world. May all be quiet along the Kaw!

And a good many of them attend K.U. first. In fact, 4,031 of them are here on the Hill right now. Recalling your first week on the Hill you can't for- get the long, long line leading-to the basement and the registration table, where you filled out seemingly endless blanks which were either pink or peach colored, depending on whether you lived in Kansas or out of it. By the time you had answered all the questions -asked, you had disclosed all your past, present, and probable future history, your fingers ached, and you were much bespattered with ink. But it was all for a purpose! As you trudge or trip from east to west on the first Hoot of the administration building you can't help but notice the large black and white sign INFORMATION. Behind the doors heralded by that sign is the Registrarls office, inhabited by num- erous clerks 'and headed by George O. Foster, regis- trar, and his assistant, James Hitt. That blank, which you filled out so conscientiously, soon became the life blood of the Registrars office. The staff checked and rechecked, counted and recounted, and finally deposited each of you in your respective pigeon holes. Those blanks tell, partially at least, a history of K.U. over av period of two generations, with the geographical expanse of the world. During that first month of school, as you looked at that seedy boy on your right or the smoothie on your left, you no doubt wondered from where on earth they hailed. The Registrar's office knows all the answers! There are only two places in Kansas that he couldn't have come from-Grant and Kearny counties, which are not represented on the campus. He may have come from any one of the 103 counties that do have stu- dents enrolled in the state university. Chances are he came from Douglas, Wyandotte, or Shawnee coun- ties because they have the largest representation. On the other hand, he may benthe one person registered from .Scott county. In case you didnlt know it, quite a cosmopolitan, even international, atmosphere pervades Mount Oread. Thirty-four states and ten foreign countries are represented in the K.U. student body. The total out-state enrollment amounts to 620 students. There's nothing exclusive about the Registrar's oHice. They don't stop at wanting to know about you. They also want to know about your parents. Of course you couldn't tell it by the way you looked, but the most predominant parental occupation is farming. Occupational runner-ups are housewife, physician, railway employee, salesman, manager and merchant. Also listed is an apiarist, auctioneer, yacht captain, and consul. Ten W.P.A. workers have chil- dren in the University. Need we say, it takes all kinds? Though you may not know it, the University is interested in knowing, and fitting you for, what you want to do after you leave the Hill. For the benefit of the 250 girls who didn't specify their intended vocations, 2,692 men are enrolled and only 1,420 women, so you have more than a fifty-fifty chance to snare him. ' The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences leads in enrollment with 1,932 students. Of these college students, journalism is the most popular with 140 aspirants. Geology has 43 prospects and 23 aspire to be bankers. 562 students left the farm to come to K.U. but only 2 of them in 1941 plan to return to the farm when they finish college. 28 women are majoring in Home Economics and admit it! The School of Engineering and Architecture has 663 aspirants. Future teachers number 660 and business has 611 prospects. Medicine comes next with 610 applicants. If hopes mean anything, a rosy future is forecast. Only 128 men in the University are entirely undecided as to why they are here. Gone is the day when your professor peered at you over his hornrimshand tesrily inquired. Why are you in the University, anyway? Today to such a question the student has a perfect right to refer that professor to the Registrar's oiiice. Of course, the student may not remember what he is DECEMBER 19-il in school for, but at one time, at the registration, he more than likely recorded for posterity and for him- self what, at that time, he planned to do. In a normal four years of college one will register eight times. Therefore, by logical deducation it is pos- sible that one person may have listed eight different intended vocations on eight different cards, at eight different periods in his undergraduate life . . . and then of course there are the graduate schools. Looking at these cards in the long run . . . Cor is it economics that we look at in the long run?J it is possible to trace the evolu- tion of the members of future professions. Apply- ing a bit of imagination to the cards we can solve such long standing questions as What is it about the study of medicine that makes so many lawyers? What is it about the slip stick school CSchool of Engineering and Architecture to youb that keeps the School of Fine Arts enrollment flour- ishing. We can also learn the percentages of sons of doc- tors who want to be doc- tors, the sons of engineers who want to follow the slide rule, and the other sons who want to tread in their papas' footsteps. This INFORMATION which the Registrars of- fice possesses is the modern streamline equivalent to the class prophesy. Back in the old days, when we tus , .. nw, N 'Mt 7 X bod .-.QITQQE RIYLFD-5 91 college students were in high school, the class prose poet was commissioned to write a forecast prophesy- ing the future of each member of the class. Some- times these were given the blessings of a ritual and buried in a tin can to be left until a future day. The Registrars files of- fer a wealth of material for this sort of clairovoyance. How many lawyers started out as freshmen to be doc- tors? How often was the case reversed? These cards have fascination, glamor, and pathos in them . . . It is no wonder that we fall in awe to worship the steel filing cabinet. Figures compiled by the Registrar's office don't tell the whole story of the Uni- versity. They can't tell you about the students who climb the Hill to discover, after they get here, their place in the world. They can't tell you about the heartache and loneliness, the happiness and content- ment which come and go onthe Hill. Figures from the Regis- trarls office do point out that more than four thou- sand men and women are on the Hill with the defi- nite aim of getting an edu- cation and preparing them- selves for their future-be it housewife or yacht cap- tain, engineer or lawyer.

He can't say, It's a good play and you must see it, or It's bad, stay away, as is the privilege of most other critics. Nor can he recommend or discourage his readers' seeing future plays on the basis of his opinion of the single play he happens to be reviewing. I think it is best, then, that I put down here merely what the company of Mary seemed to be trying to do, what they did, and what I thought about it at the time and afterwards. Mary of S cotlami was the opening presentation of the nineteenth season of the department of speech and drama. Mary was written by Maxwell Anderson, edited and directed by speech instructor james Barton, and acted by University students, Don Dixon, of the department, constructed and painted the scenery. The costumes were imported from St. Paul. A good deal of Mary is written in poetry as is the case, I'm told, with most of Anderson's plays. While this no doubt gives a kind of nobility of style to drama, I think that the problems of presenting a dialogue in blank verse is sometimes a little too dif- ficult for college students to overcome. The main difficulty seems to lie in the art of reciting these verse passages in such a way as to make I the most of their dramatic function without disregarding their poetic rhythm and feel, V I Now the director and the cast of Mary certainly must have recog- nized this problem and undoubt- edly tried to meer it in the best way they could. It seems that they chose I C orrtinaed on Page 1521 mi Vjniiwiig HIS year's Faculty Follies was different from last year's in that last year they didn't have any.

Homecoming . . . received while in high school, included a panorama of beautiful women flowered and furred, alumni associating, bands play- ing, football teams struggling, the sun shining and everyone having a wonderful time. This yearis Homecoming, Harold's first, saw the alumni associating, and the band . . . rather many many bands . . . playing. The beautiful women appeared, of course, but wrapped rather in news- papers and raincoats . . . flowers drooped in alter- nating rain and snow . . . the football teams came out, but the home team continually had the muddy side of the field and so was defeated 45 to 6. We played Missouri. V Now Harold was an amazing sort of- person. He was, and is, the most amazingly uninteresting person that the world has ever known. Never before and probably never again will Mt. Oread be graced with one so completely and collossally mediocre. But of all of his mediocrity Harold was most impressively mediocre in his ability to receive impressions. With this in mind let us follow our hero, Harold, through the day when the alumni leave home to come home. We must bear in mind that Harold, our man of the hour, is sensitive and naive . . . each of these in a mediocre sort of way. Everyone finds activity to suit at the annual Home- coming. Harold took in everything . . . well almost YOU EVEN LOOK AT A WOMAN AND ILL W Z k g .4 Je' I QI XX . f E. ' 4 X3 THE JAY1-IAWKER rw HHHIHH everything. He watched the parade Friday night chuckling, smiling, laughing and blushing at the various Hoats. Harold is a most sensitive person. The basketball game between this year's team and that of three years from now moved him mentally from the football season to that of basketball where most Jayhawkers feel more at home. Then Harold took his Hophead City Hop to the Honky Tonk dance in Robinson Gym. Gee, he had fun. The first night of the Homecoming weekend was over and Harold was tired. J Morpheus whispered in his ear that sleepful night that the morrow would bring the glories of glamor to hapless Harold. Saturday beckoned with its prom- ise of the high school vision of what a Homecoming should be. C-ioodmorning! It's raining. Yelled Fate to Har- old at the nine o'clock hour. Daddgum it! cursed Harold. But not even the damper of dampness could cool his ardor. Up on the Hill he went-this happy carefree lad. Here and everywhere were alums congregating. But most of all were they populating Ad. Philosophical Harold mused, I wonder if I'll enjoy Homecomings twenty years from now?,' Practical Harold replied, I'd better start circulating or I won't enjoy this one. In spite of the moisture Harold felt the tingle of excitement on the day of the big game. Said wise THE FRATNxAlN'T wr-mrs:-at U55 TO BE!

But he hurried down enough food to last him until hot dog time at the Memorial Stadium, and then he was off to the game. The stands, poetic Harold preferred to call it the beautiful concrete horseshoe, were filling more than they had for any other game. This was Harold's second encounter with the K.U. spirit. The lack of color, of furs and flowers, of red hats, and yellow coats understanding Harold charged off to the rain and snow. The newspapers, which forget- ful Harold did not remember, made artistic Harold wince. To impatient Harold it seemed that the game would never start. But finally it did, and then honor- conscious Harold began worrying if it would ever end. The terrible Tigers from Missouri, a quite neces- sary component for the Homecoming atmosphere, seemed to get all of the breaks and all of the points. Harold accounted for their smashing successes with a shrug and the rationalization that they had numer- ical strength. But Harold remembered that famous saying When the One Great Scorer comes to write against your name, he writes not whether you won or lost, but how you played the game. This thought gave Harold solace as he was thoroughly delighted with the game except for the Missouri touchdowns. Finally the game ended. Harold did not know the score. He had the feeling that K.U. had lost. But after all you cant win them all and besides Mis- souri had too good a team for us any way.

They were so colorful . . . but wet thought analytical Harold. On leaving the stadium Harold met an Alum who after a spine jarring slap on. the back queried, Shay shonny, less go out to Miller's. Worldly Harold brushed himself away wondering if that was a result of K.U. spirits. Home to dry clothes went our hero. No obstacles could deprive him of the pleasures of this day. He was happy, our little Harold, Homecoming was wonderful. . That night Arabella came over in her car to take Harold for a ride. He saw all of the decorations on the houses significant of Homecoming. These pleased him very much . . . except some of them, which em- barrassed him. Tired Harold finally called it a day after two sar- spirillas for celebration. In bed sleepy Harold re- membered the glories of the day, and its beautiful climax . . . a ride with Arabella.

We do not know just where the idea of the present University band was born. No doubt the remains of its Cro-Magnon ancestor lie buried in some dusty tome, but pending further excavation we must be satisfied with this point: that the band did have a beginning and that it bar prospered. One can imagine countless early attempts to form a band, how a whole generation of students must have brought their instruments to school, played to- gether at old-fashioned' jam sessions, fumed at the authorities' indifference to their plight, and left the school with no more of a band than they had found it. Oh happy was that day in 1892 when a meeting was held to form a student band and George Foster, the present registrar, was elected president. It was the Rock Chalk band in those days, a happy- go-lucky group of mustachioed dandies uniformed in U24 crimson yachting caps that entertained the football crowds of the gay nineties. It was probably neither Very good nor very big as bands go but it managed for better or for worse until 1907 when new uniforms and a new director, I. C. McCanles, appeared on the scene. Its new uniforms were a navy blue, its director was a trifle green, having not yet graduated from school, but together they got along well, and together they stayed for twenty-seven years while band membership fluctuated between eight and one hundred. In 1934 the uniforms were getting old and the director had decided to leave the University. Both were soon replaced. The new director was Russell L. Wiley, who had planned to be a doctor, had majored in violin, and had been director of bands at Phillips University. His Hrst action was to provide for the new uniforms through a subscription campaign to rehabilitate the band. His first concert was a bene- fit, attended by 3500 people, to raise money for uni- forms and equipment. With the first 355000 so acquired he bought the bandls present accouterment, eighty-six West Point dress uniforms, worked out in a color scheme of marine-blue and crimson. Less spectacular but equally important, he initiated a music library which today is threatening to overflow its cases, and to which about seventy-five titles are being added each year. j After that crucial summer of 1934, the band took a new lease on life. Its membership expanded, inter- est in it increased, it got better and better until it became as distinctive and necessary a part of the Uni- versity as the football team. In fact its success became DECEMBER 19-il 97 indispensible to the good spirits of the Kansas student, who often rationalizes a bad football day with an Oh well, we've got a good bandf, It's hardly so simple as that, though. This thing we take so for granted and know so casually as the band', is really a complex and interesting organiza- tion, an organization in the business of putting on a good show and run on a business basis. It equips and maintains itself on state appropriations, travels on its share of the activity ticket, and takes occasional long trips on special subscription. The bandis activities begin early in the fall when tryouts are held to fill vacancies. To Mr. Wiley come ambitious musicians from all over the state, many of them products of the summer band camps or Mid- Western Music Clinic which the University of Kansas sponsors for high school musicians. Some are ac- cepted, some are rejected, a few are allowed to stay with the band as extras. Many are the success stories of students who, once or twice rejected, improve and persist to become valuable members. As soon as the ranks are filled, begin those early morning practices that appall the imagination, five days a week, all year long-that striving toward per- fection which makes the Kansas band noteworthy. Most active during the fall season is the marching band made up of twelve ranks, eight players per rank Cninety-six in case your slide rule isn't handyb, a staff of six high stepping, fancy twirling, drum majors led by Bob Bellamy, and of course the major- ette, Dorothy Nicholson. These drum majors in addi- tion to developing their own baton magic practice extensively with the band. Another group that prac- plaotor by Bnmine tice regularly and should be given due credit are the Swiss Flag Swingers. Those movements that you see executed on the football field were probably first executed by lead soldiers on a miniature gridiron in Mrs. Wiley's base- ment. As soon as the best combinations are hit upon, they are mapped out like a football play. Every marcher is then given a mimeographed sheet- show- ing his position in each movement. Mr. Wiley explains with professional pride that he always tries to swing into a formation by ranks rather than by disorganized scurrying. It looks better, but it takes a lot of practice if you accept as evidence the five to six mornings on the field required to perfect a movement. As the work of the marching band draws to a close, the concert band begins in earnest. In reality the concert band is the marching band sitting down, with the addition of twelve handpicked women. It plays at convocations, at basketball games, on the radio, and wherever else duty calls it. Of course its high points of the year are the two formal concerts, fall and spring, before which five-hour rehearsals are common. Proud of its policy of never repeating a number, the band performs one-hundred numbers a year.

For despite overwhelming defeats by the three titans of the league, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Mis- souri, the Jayhawks could point to two well-earned Big Six victories of their own over Iowa State and THE JAYHAWKER Since '37 ZaaBc1h7fLma71 things than the highly respectable finish achieved by the Jayhawks in the season just completed are the pigskin prospects for next autumn. It goes without saying that Coach Henry will miss badly two of the greatest players ever to perform in Memorial Stadium-Ralph Miller and Hub Ulrich. Miller, one of the nation's leading forward passers, was harassed throughout most of his career by an injured knee, but the lantern-jawed Jayhawk quarter- back still succeeded in running, kicking, and passing his way into the Kansas hall of football immortals. Ulrich, ranked as one of the best ends the Big Six ULRICH MEADE Kansas State. These twin triumphs assured the Kansans of a position at the top of the second division in the con- ference standings, and the Jayhawk gridrnen went back to their classes with the hope that Oklahoma's high-powered Sooners might outscore the once great Nebraska Cornhuskers in the final Big Six clash of the season, November 29. An Oklahoma victory in this game would have boosted the Kansans into a tie with Nebraska for third place. The Nebraska victory ties up Oklahoma and Ne- braska for second place and gives the Jayhawkers the fourth place slot. ' But even more important in the Kansas scheme of FLUKER HARDMAN has produced in recent years, was deprived of the opportunity to play in his last game against Missouri by a shoulder separation received during a gym class wrestling demonstration, but he had satisfied most experts long before the season ended that he was the class of the conference wingmen. Miller and Ulrich aren't the only seniors Henry will find difficult to replace. Bob Fluker and Jay Kern, two of the most likeable and proicient guards who have graced the Jayhawk roster since Henry took chargeg Steve Meade, the amiable left tackle, End Ralph Schaakeg Halfba Tackle Merkel, and Halfback Denzel Gibbens, whose star soared to spectacular heights in the thrilling vic- tory over Kansas State, all climaxed their football ck Marvin Vandaveer' pbotor by jackson DIICFMBIR llil careers in the Missouri contest. However, where only one regular-Ulrich-am swered Henry's practice whistle last fall CMiller hav- ing remained our of competition the previous year to allow his injured knee time to heall, at least 11 men who played prominent parts on the 1941 team will be among those returning next September. Also to be counted on are four or five more squadmen with some experience and an entire team of outstand- ing freshmen. Three of this year's starting backfield should bene- lit by a season under fire and provide the Jayhawks with one of the best foursomes in the Midlands. Headed by Ray Evans, brilliant left halfback and 99 man, sophomore quarterback who has been hampered by injuries for the past two years, and Irven Hayden, junior halfback, also can be expected to carry their share of the load next fall. I Up front, where the Kansans have failed more frequently than they have succeeded for the past several years, Henry can look forward to the return of Ends Bob Hagen and George Dick, the latter having attracted attention as a pass catcher as the 1941 season neared its close, Guard joe Crawford, Tackles jack Tenenbaum, Warren Hodges, and Gene Long, and Centers Bob Githens and Paul Hardman. Hagen and Hardman, who moved over from end to center after Githens was injured early in the season, KERN HODGES three sports star, who in his sophomore year displayed enough to be rated by many as potentially the greatest athlete in Kansas history, this trio also includes Don Red Dog Ettinger, hard-driving first string full- back, and Ray Niblo, the Dallas, Texas, sophomore halfback, who staged a one-man show in leading the Jayhawks to victory over Iowa State. Probably the most outstanding of the other re- turning backs is Don Pollom, mercury-footed junior, whose long runs following pass receptions accounted for many yards during the past season. Harlan Alt- MILLER VANDAVEER are both juniors, while the others have just completed their Hrst year of competition. From the freshman team, Henry is especially eager to watch the work of Center -junius Penny, Guards Grier Zimmerman and John Herron, Tackle Dick Channell, End Otto Schnellbacher, Quarterbacks Heath Baker and Kenny Thompson, Halfback Gene Roberts, and Fullback Bill Palmer, all of whom have the highest recommendations of Frosh Coach Wayne Replogle. K C onzinued on Page 1581 EVANS NIBLO HAGEN COACH HENRY if 100 THE JAYHAWKER lHl lHUlH HHUIH Illl. WUMIN RUTH, according to Webster, is absolute con- formance to reality. If anything a mere man can observe about women from his excluded point of view conforms absolutely to reality, I don't know what it could be. For a man to attempt to reveal the truth about women would be about like a thief's con- ception of heaven. It seems fairly clear, then, that this article will not reach any truths about women. Rather, it will merely be a presentation of what I think is the average Hill manls point of view toward K.U. women in general. Do you think that too specific? In the first place,'no man would deny that the women here on Mount Oread are an exceedingly pleasant and somewhat necessary element in his col- lege life. They undoubtedly rank well above the average in beauty. Most men from other schools are quick to comment that, although K.U. may not have quantity in its women, 'it certainly does have quality and you know what quality means to the inspecting male eye. V iK.U. women, for the most part, are good sports. For example, they will walk on a date in bad weather and still at least act like they are having a good time. They do not demand expensive entertainment and they attempt, fairly often, to even up the entertaining burden by parties of their own. K.U. women also deserve credit for the fact that they manage to make better grades than men, and still fulfill their most important obligations-mean ing social activities. And finally, Hill women are superbly skillful in the sly art of handling men Cemphasis on pluralj. ' All of which leads me to the real point of this article. In general, these feminine counterparts to Hill life may be classified into three rather arbitrary types, in regard to their attitudes toward men. The first, and smallest group, includes those who are genuinely sincere with men, and who believe that in afar .frame there may possibly be something a little more im- portant in college life than a date with a different man every night of the week. A girl of this type does not hesitate to tell a man just how he stands with her, if he wants to know. Obviously, such a type of girl is quite rare at K.U. since such an attitude, by the best K.U. social standards, would be nothing less than social suicide. The second general class, also a relatively small one, are those girls who are fairly sincere, but who are definitely in college for a good time, and they don't care who knows it. A good time to them means dates, parties, dances, and steak frys. The fellow who dates a girl of this type is just one of the boys, but he is pretty well aware of it. This class is really just a transitional one, for every girl sooner or later suc- cumbs to the spirit of conquest and exerts her wiles to ensnare some perfectly willing male. The third class, which the great majority of KU. women fit into, is that typified by the average sorority freshman- superficial, insincere. In other words, when a man dates a girl of this type, he is just one of the boys,', but he doesn't know it-ignorance is bliss-while it lasts. She takes great pains to con- vince him that he is really the one and only. And don't think that such a task, particularly when a girl must convince three or four fraternity brothers of the same thing, doesn't require some pretty skillful maneuvering. It is women of this type, the great middle class, who deserve the brunt of male criticism. Although the symptoms of such female attitudes are most evi- dent in the sorority freshmen, the trouble is that most Hill women never completely outgrow the attitudes contracted durings this period in their college career. I think that most of the trouble stems from the fact I that freshman women, soon after reaching Mount Oread, absorb a false and confused set of values. To be SPCCiHC, they Soon begin Gentlemen, the IAYHA WK presents Suzanne Wieder, a Gower ER Place beauty, as seen through the lens of Maurice Jackson. I I Q 1 I 1 v I r i l I I I f x l l l 1 ' l i r i l ll ll l 1 I 1 i 102 to believe that the most important thing to be gained from college life, the end of all activity, is to have as many dates as possible, to keep ever increasing their string of men, and to go to more fraternity parties than her pledge sisters. Although I think that such a goal is a result of muddled thinking, I do not think the blame lies entirely on the girl. Worst perpetuator of such a superhcial and shallow attitude toward college life is the. sorority system. Sororities, failing to place their emphasis on anything of real value, build all their actions around the prob- lem of getting the most men to date in that particular house. Girls are chosen for their beauty, with too little emphasis on character. Open houses, volumin- ous stag lists, chump dinners, and blind dates serve 'to accomplish this primary purpose. Equally responsible for such confused thinking, however, is the high -school-like educational system here at the University of Kansas, which fails to train students to think. When 98 per cent of the courses, particularly freshman-sophomore courses, require nothing more than rote memory work, how can women, or men either, learn to think clearly about their own problems? ' But, to get back to the problem at hand: It seems to me that women should come to college with one main purpose in mind, and perhaps a subsidiary one, too. The main purpose should be to get an education which means to acquire the ability to think and to develop the basis for a fuller and more cultural en- joyment of future life. The secondary purpose women have in mind in coming to college, whether they admit it or not, is that of finding a husband. Such a purpose is perfectly reasonable, but it should not sur- pass the other in importance. From this second purpose in coming to college comes the false idea that a girl should emphasize primarily dating and parties. And, because of this emphasis, such a girl must employ all the objection- able qualities of insincerity, superficiality, and a blase attitude toward anything smacking of seriousness in order to stay on the social wheel. But such superficial methods are the wrong ones if a girl really wants to ind a husband. No man wants to marry a girl whom he doesn't know whether to believe or not, and certainly no man can admire a girl very much who will not be sincere and. genuine with him. Thus it would seempthat these two purposes for which a girl might come to college are entirely com- patible, not opposites. Since both of these purposes THE JAYHAWKBR are not ultimate goals, but really steps toward a happier and fuller future life, it follows that the best way for a girl to find a husband with home she could really be happy would be through getting an education. Down through the years educators and laymen alike have argued the relative merits of women's colleges and coeducational institutions. This contro- versy will probably never be settled. However we at K.U. look upon this as an individual proposition. A girl can make out of her college what she wishes. She can be a sociallion or a bookworm . . . either that she pleases. Or, as is the theme of this tirade, she can be a combination of the two. . A matter of still greater importance to men than the question of what the girl can make out of her college is that great problem of . . . whatshe can make out of a man. The answer far too frequent is a fool. Granted that you women can usually rule your man . . . ,we as men can only beg that you keep us innocent of that fact. The one thing that a woman can stand and a man cannot, is to be made a fool in the eyes of his friends. As the man is usually the one to make the first overtures, he .is the most Vulnerable to the label FOOL. A woman may not respect a man, but she should. be smart enough to preserve his own self respect. Now I am not recommending that Mt. Oread turn into an old-maid factory, nearly every man wants to marry a girl whom he feels is sincere, genuine, and who has the ability to think. By the ability to think, I do not mean that she should be brilliant or intellec- tual, but rather that she should be able to realize the value of more important things in life than clothes, entertainment, and appearances, and be fairly inter- ested in the world around her. She need not be a stunning beauty, as long as she is neat and dresses with good taste. Beauty is secondary to character. I realize that this criticism is a blanket indictment and from a male point of view. Therefore, it is un- fair on two counts. I do not mean to imply every K.U. woman fits into the superficial, insincere cate- gory criticized above, but I do believe that few escape those faults entirely. The criticism is of general char- acteristics of a type, not of women as individuals. Many of the points apply to men as well, but not to as great a degree, I believe. This is Margery Kiskudden 1 Gamma Phi Beta whose beauty al comes to us from the camera 4 Maurice Jackson. photo by Brock Elizabeth Meguiar RISH, impulsive, with great faith in and enthu- siasm for young people, Miss Meguiar has often found that her position on the hill makes new girls somewhat in awe of her. She is eager to get ac- quainted with all the students on the campus, but, naturally, as adviser of girls, makes a special effort to share their troubles and rejoice with them in their triumphs. l Those who have had an opportunity to meet her in her office, or to be entertained in her home, appre- ciate her modern viewpoint and her youthful spirit. Miss Meguiar's fascinating home is one of her greatest hobbies, and would be an antique collectorls paradise. She is a gracious hostess and the lucky ones who have been invited to her home for dinner carry away with them memories of a delightful time and heavenly food-a la Southern recipes. ' Miss Meguiar has taught in the Home Economics department of the University of Kansas since 1917. Smilingly she confesses that when she decided on her vocation she had never given much thought to becom- ing an adviser of women, but she greatly admired the Dean of Women at Chicago! University, and through her expert guidance perhaps gained a valu- able pattern to follow. i Since 1935 she has been Adviser of Women and as many students know she well remembers her days at the University of Chicago-where they had no closing hours!!! There she majored in Home Eco- nomics and later taught before coming to K.U. As adviser of women, she has a unique way of working with and through the students. She believes in the strong student government and likes to stay in the back ground. Her sympathies are not limited to the University aloneg they extend to those striken people across the sea and she is an active worker in the drive for the Jayhawk Shelter, and Bundles for Britain. --Wwe flclcwaflcf Government by Women aafaai aaa HE University jumped the gun on the nation a good ten years in granting government rights to its women. In May, 1909, when woman suffragists were still considered oddities at large, the women of Mt. Oread organized an association for the direction of all activities in which women are concerned. Soon labeled W.S.G.A., the organization set about proving to male students that the girls in their classes had something on their minds besides pompadours. In 1912 they were granted the privilege of taking absolute discipline of women students for one year. The experiment was successful, and they continued their disciplinary function. By 1913 the editors of the Izrybawker were moved to call the Woman's Self- Governing Association a practical illustration of the fair sex to govern themselves. The w.s.o.A., 1941 model, has 1402 members. That is the number of women students who are regis- tered in the University. The Association has the power to make regulations necessary to carry our the purpose for which it was organized, to regulate all matters pertaining to the conduct and welfare of the women stu- dents, and to pro- mote all worthy stu- dent organizations and activities in which women students are concerned. PRESIDENT DORIS TWENTE No pantywaists, members of the W.S.G.A. execu- tive council have never shirked their duties. Although the rner s governing body once called it quits because it did not like to shoulder the responsibility of dis- ciplining campus males, the W.S.G.A. council has not once given up, The legislative ladies are hardheaded business women, too. In 1939 they laid in the Uni- versity lap a cool 515000, surplus profits from their book exchange to be used for scholarships. fContimzed on Page 1552 WOMEN'S SELF-GOVERNING ASSOCIATION !rl?OUl-iD lI'lK 'l!Xl3!,l. nu Jollnglorr, Colleen Poorman, Evelyn Hodgson, Mary Ja Cox, Mvra Hurd, Mary Frances McAnow, Mariorl-e Wiley, Mary Beth Dodge lirrrbarn Rsglrer, '-frrqrnrri Ct-ar, Doris 'lvuenlr-I Mary Ellen Roach, Sire Kalhs, Lois Worrell, Alice Harrington, Mary Gene Hull, Peggy Davis, Evelyn Schroeder, Maxine Walker, Eileen Srnrllr Norlrne Hunt M-4,-,MIME-,,y-.-.., .I I I I Alpha Chi Omega war founded Octo- ber 15, 1885, at DePauw Unihferxity, Green- castle, Indiana, Phi, now one of 63 aelive claaptem, war established at K.U. in the fall of 1914.

DECEMBER 19-il 115 l-he Meeting of the Greeks TRANGE as it now may seem, the W0men's Pan- hellenic Association was organized for the sole purpose of correcting undignified methods of rushing. It was in 1903 that the Inter-Sorority Conference stated that Panhellenic Associations should be formed in all Universities where two or more national sorori- ties existed. The Panhellenic Association was organized on our campus in 1905. The Council consisted of two dele- gates, one from the active chapter and one from the alurnnae association. At this time Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Chi Omega were the only sororities on the campus. They founded our present Council. At that time no rules were made in regard to rushing or pledging, but a movement was started to improve the social condi- tions in school life. Later, the main object of this group was to create a general governing body for all sororities. They made great advances toward fostering good fellow- ship among the sororities and increasing their in- fluence and sphere of action in University activities. By 1918, there were four more sororities on the Hill--Alpha Delta Pi, Sigma Kappa, Alpha Chi 547 fem 4-7ae4 Omega, and Gamma Phi Beta, who automatically be- came members of the Panhellenic Council. At its membership increased, so did the Council's activities. At this time the functions of the organiza- tion were to Hx the date of pledge day, regulate the rules of rushing, and to advise on many matters of inter-sorority interest. In addition, they did philan- thropic work, and endeavored to form a closer associa- tion with University organizations and authorities as well as between the national sororities of the campus. Also, the year 1918 marked the beginning of an emphasis upon the attainment of a high scholastic standard. The number of sororities on the Hill has been steadily increasing since 1912. The largest number of sororities was fourteen in 1922. Since 1924 the number has been decreasing until at the present time there are ten Greek sisterhoods represented on the Council. The present Panhellenic Council is made up of two representatives, one oHicial and one alternate, from each sorority. Ofucers are elected annually, con- sisting of the president and secretary.

P r L 36 Q-9 ,M-ff 116 held in rotation by the sororities in the order of their establishment as nationals in the University as fol- lows: Pi Beta Phi, 1873, Kappa Alpha Theta, 18815 Kappa Kappa Gamma, 18833 Chi Omega, 19023 Alpha Delta Pi, 1912, Sigma Kappa, 1913, Alpha Chi Omega, 1914, Gamma Phi Beta, 19153 Alpha Omicron Pi, 1918, and Delta Gamma, 1940. The secretary goes through a training period and is auto- matically moved up to the Presidency the following year. A Panhellenic has complete charge of rushing rules and social privileges. Rushing is undoubtedly the problem with which it is most concerned, for under this title arise the various complications that must be eliminated and the many confusing problems which must be diplomatically untangled. Rushing is all- important to the sorority group because its very life depends on a successful rush season. In 1935 rush week and rush rules underwent a complete change. Before that time each sorority sent out date cards during the summer to rushees in whom they were interested. The 1935 rules provided for two days of teas at which time rushees visited the various houses. This eliminated date cards. Another new addition was the quota system of pledging which limited the number of pledges to 15 for each sorority. This was later done away with. Spiking, that is, ask- ing a rushee to pledge before the specified time, was illegal under this new plan. Since 1935, slight changes have been made in order that the system be better adjusted to the par- ticular campus problems. Last year marked another milestone in the develop- ment of rushing rules. Perhaps the greatest change was having rushing activities and freshman week at the same time. This proved to be a hardship on both the rushees and sororities, but it is felt by University authorities that this will eliminate some of the ad- verse criticism against the University in relation to rushing. Another radical change was the legalization of spiking. To control and regulate the sororities so that they will exist side by side in a spirit of harmony and friendship, realizing their kinship, and interdepen- dency, is the real purpose of Panhellenic. Sue john- ston, president of the council and a member of Alpha Chi Omega, has been very influential in strengthen- ing the Council and its authority. Her friendly man- ner and enthusiasm have instilled a new feeling of co-operation into the representatives of the Council, and inspired them to realize their responsibilities. She THE JAYHAXVKER is ably assisted by the secretary, Barbara KOCh of Gamma Phi Beta. Another helpful adviser of the Council is Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser of women. Her willing assistance and advice is most welcome for she presents the mature viewpoint and keeps the organization in contact with the administrations policies. Panhellenic has set as one of its much-desired goals, the attainment of friendliness and co-operation be- tween the sorority and non-sorority girl. It also co- operates with the University in carrying out various projects and activities, such as helping with the hous- ing of delegates to the various conventions sponsored by the University. A Panhellenic dinner was held in 1937 which in- cluded all the members of every sorority on the Hill. This proved so successful that it has been made an annual affair. In the last few years the dinner has been held for the purpose of honoring the sorority with the highest scholarship rating, Last year it was given in honor of Gamma Phi Beta. Owing to the necessity for reducing expenses of the sororities, the Panhellenic Council decided to do away with all decorations for sorority parties. This was a unanimous decision of the Council. Some of the groups plan to give the money which was for- merly used for party decorations to various charities. This year's Council is trying two experiments. One is that they are holding their monthly meetings at the various sorority houses. After the regular business meeting they are entertained at dinner by the sorority, which enables the sorority women to become ac- quainted with the Council and thus feel a closer asso- ciation with them. The other experiment is something which has never been tried on the Kansas University campus before. That is, the organization of a Junior Pan- hellenic Council which is patterned after the main group. It is made up of one pledge from each of the ten sororities. The primary purpose of this group, at this time, is to give suggestions on rush rules. How- ever, later on their scope of activities will broaden. Our Panhellenic Association is a progressive and farsighted organization-an organization of high ideals and definite aims, and it is the duty of every YVOIDHII on the campus to support and uphold these ideals and aims. In adjusting delicate personal prob- lems and guiding the individual sororities to security iindhappiness, Panhellenic performs an invaluable service. EHHHIN HHH LOIS LEE ALLEN . . . .

F. C. PHOG ALLEN, the builder of cham- pions, is at it again. With a squad of sopho- mores, which last year comprised the best freshman team in Kansas basketball history, Phog is enthu- siastically preparing to meet such veteran-studded teams as Iowa State, Missouri, and Oklahoma. You can't replace the three musketeers-Engle- man, Allen, and Kline-they were the heart of a championship combination for two years. This year, instead of having a few exceptional players, Allen will start the season with at least a dozen good players, tournament in competition with the best college teams from coast to coast. - Allen describes Miller as one of the best ball han- dlers that he has ever coached. Fast, aggressive, and tricky, RiHin' Ralph has an excellent opportunity this year to go down in history as one of the all-time Kansas basketball greats. The knee injury which kept Miller on the sidelines last year is apparently healed completely now, and he has been a stellar performer on the Jayhawk football team this fall. Johnson was always a steady player and a particular threat on anyone of whom has possibilities which ' oifense, might make him the outstanding basket- M Phog Allen is celebrating his ball player in the Midwest before the twenty-fifth anniversary as varsity bas- end of the season. ketball coach at Kansas, and he says that he is more Something new in Kansas basketball is the wealth enthusiastic about prospects this year than at any of reserve material which other time in his coach. will be available this es' '--' A-We: A' year. The possession of twelve first line men is one of the best starts in the building of a cham- pionship team. Two men, Ralph Mil- ler and Bob Johnson, from the miracle team of 1940, are almost sure to play outstanding roles in the 1941-42 version of Jayhawk basketball. These two are the only remaining members of that great team of two years ago which rose to such heights in post- season play-oifs, reaching the Hnals of the N.C.A.A. ing career. This state- ment is all the more im- pressive when you con- sider that it comes from a man who has won more basketball championships than any other cage men- tor in the United States. K a n s a s basketball teams, the paSt few years, have been of the Pony EXPICSS' type, small and fast. A light aggressive ffiam plays under a dei- nite handicap, thus it has been doubly gratifying to see Allen's Pony EX- press teams consistently K ' knocking off the giants from other Big Six schools. pbotor by jackson This year the situation has changed somewhat, and the Kansas quintet will have plenty of size, so no one needs to worry about the Jayhawks getting pushed around. Red Ettinger seemed to be the answer to Doc Allen's prayer for a really big man who was both fast and shifty, then Red was injured in foot- ball and he is probably out of action for the rest of the season. Ray Evans, star athlete from Wyandotte high school in Kansas City and one ofthe best Sopho- more halfbacks in the Big Six, is another possible answer to Allenis need for a pivot man. The battle for starting positions is a wide open affair, and Allen declares that there is not a place cinched on the team. The men to watch and the men who Phog say have possibilities of becoming outstanding stars are Vance Hall, John Buescher, Ray Evans, Ralph Miller, Marvin Sollenberger, Hutch Walker, and T. P. Hunter. Some of the sophomores have shown excellent possibilities, and what they lack in experience they will make up in fight and determination. Sophomores with somewhat more than an outside chance of cracking into the starting line-up include jack Ballard, Charles Black, Max Kissell, Paul Turner, Browder Richmond, and Warren Israel. Israel is a 220 pounder, and it will be a pretty tough assignment for opposing teams to push him aside. Physically 'Kansas has some of the finest talent that has been on the campus for years . . . tall men, heavy men, expert ball handlers, and excellent de- fense men. In past years Kansas cage teams have made remarkable records with much less apparent Sollenherger, Buescher, Walker, Hall, and Hunter. talent. The small light teams of the past three years have won because they simply wouldn't be whipped. As Phog Allen says, You just couldn't keep them down after you had them down! Allen is building a new team with excellent pros- pects, but a quick survey of the conference shows that Kansas will be up against experienced teams on every hand. At Iowa State, Coach Louis Menze has the most veterans back. These men, who tied for the Big Six championship along with Kansas last year, also have some excellent Sophomore prospects, and they are the logical choice to repeat for the championship this year. They are tall boys and high scorers like Captain Budolfson and Schneider, the 6 ft. 10 in. guard and forward. Bruce Drake at Oklahoma has a team filled with former high school stars in addition to a large num- ber of his last year's personnel. Oklahoma will prob- ably have the tallest and the most aggressive team in the conference. Their outstanding player will un- doubtedly be Gerald Tucker, the Winhelcl, Kansas, all-state high school star, who is 6 ft. 5 in. tall and weighs 220 pounds. He should make an ideal pivot man and he will be difhcult for anyone to stop. Nebraska fans are enthusiastically talking about their plans for this year's Cornhusker quintet. Coach Lewandowski has several veterans including Sid Held, the man who scored 24 points in one game against Kansas last year, and Thompson, Young, and Living- stone. In spite of the Cornhusker confidence, Ne- KCOnlinzzed on Page 1542 Muni HI HE Society of Pachacamac suffered the most decisive defeat in the 1941 Freshman Election that it has received in such an election in all its long and colorful history. Its youthful rival, the Progress- Student Government League, succeeded in filling three of the four posts with its standard bearers, reluctantly dropping the remaining position to its older adversary. An unusually large number of freshman voters- 427-turned out to exercise their right of ballot. A goodly majority clambered aboard the P.S.G,L. band- wagon to sweep its candidates into office by surpris- ingly large margins. . Ty Schuerman will head the class of '45 as their president, while his chief collaborator will be Bill Kiene at the treasurer's post. junius Penny shares the honors of a seat on the M.S.C. with Joe Stryker, the only candidate on the Pachacamac ticket who was able to cross the finish line Yes, Novem- ber 6, 1941, will long occupy a prominent place in the memories of hill politicians. ' If you were just vaguely curious in an offhand manner as to who won the freshman election, you needn't waste your time by reading any further- we've already told you and won't say anything more about it-not to speak of anyway. If, however, like us you possess a deep intellectual curiosity as to the whyis and whereforeis of such matters Cspurred on by three rejection slips from the editorb , you will be interested in delving into the nooks and crannies of political machinations to discover those deep dark mysteries which explain the freshman election results. We approached the matter scientifically. Once we had established our frame of reference and examined the total configuration critically, the key to the situa- tion emerged as a problem of motivation. Apparently the purpose of the politicians was to place the in- dividual in a state of unbalanceg in order to relieve the tensions set up as a result of the previous dis- equilibriation, that action would ensue which would enable him to reach his goal over the shortest possible path-and stuff. ' 44 WWW flfctfwu THE JAYHAWKER If you haven't had Dr. Wheeler's Elementary Psy- chology course, don't read the above paragraph- you wouldn't understand it either. When stated in English the whole thing seems to be that the politi- cian attempts to get his victim so thoroughly preju- diced in his favor that he will vote straight P.S.G.L. or straight Pachacamac as the case may be. Accept- ing this concept as being axiomatic, we proceeded to investigate the matter of methods used in selling the freshman group on the support of one group or another by reviewing the events of the campaign. Both political organizations seemed to be in agree- ment as to the first move-have a meeting. From that point on there are two schools of thought. CFor the sake of clarity and brevity we shall henceforth distinguish between the two organizations by alluding to the Society of Pachacamac by initial only-P., reference to the Progressive Student Gov- ernment League will be by the first letter in its title -PJ To continue: the group P. seems to feel that the friendly Hi-ya Joe, waddaya know type is the most fruitful approach to use. When we sauntered into their first meeting we were immediately seized by an energetic individual who wrung our hand into in- sensibility, blistered our back with encouraging, al- beit spine-jarring, slaps, and were then introduced to everyone who was anyone on the campus. Finally, after being practically floated away in cokes and permanently befogged from the products of combus- tion in the innumerable cigarettes which we were forced to smoke two at a time in order to keep pace with our philanthropic hosts, we listened to the amaz- ing revelation that membership in the freshman group of P., was the Open Sesame to practically any Hill position we had designs upon. After being in- formed every two minutes that P. offered the only organization on the campus where Greeks and In- dependents rubbed shoulders on a 50-50 basis, We were at last released to pecting world.

Such a contrast! These fellows adopted a business- like approach. We were given a name tag, ushered about the group meeting this person and that, then firmly eased into a seat and forced to suffer through an evening of allegedly informative discussions which ranged from a fatherly chat by some alumnus now in a law firm in the City 'to a sorry attempt at a typical Billy Sunday exhortation by some dull milk- sop. Here we were given to understand, was a group which played no favorites. It had some Greek sup- port, yes, but only in the proportion of Greek to -Independent men over the hill as a whole. This was THE party for the independents. Somebody woke us up in time to shake hands with a lot of people and go home. Well, we found that after the first approach, both P. and P. seemed to follow very similar sequences of action. More meetings. Then election of officers who had meetings to let the upperclassmen decide the policies for them. Finally there came the selection of candidates for the class offices. Ordinarily this takes only one meeting, but in the case of P. there was an exception this year. P. had secured the serv- ices of such an enterprising man as their freshman chairman that they had to have two or three extra nominating meetings just to be sure that they didn't pass up any good candidate material for the M.S.C. posts-all in the interests of the party, of course. After about one more meeting in which a plat- form certain to warm the cockles of every freshman's heart was selected, the group meetings were discon- tinued. P. set up their campaign headquarters under the Jayhawk Cafe, and members of the advance guard patrolled the joint continually, on the lookout for 127 JUNIUS PENNY 165 STRYKER anyone who resembled a yearling. On the other hand members of P. used their campaign managers house as their headquarters, much to the disgust of his long- suffering fellow roomers. From these two points nightly would steal small bands of freshmen laden with various literary publications blatantly pro- claiming the superior merits of the respective organi- zations and their candidates. We got enough paper from our callers to keep the Salvation Army quiet for the next two years. We couldn't understand why so much attention was being showered on the Independents, but some kind soul explained the matter to us thusly: the fraternity pledges all vote or submit to the board Cvoting as instructed, supposedlyb. Nevertheless, even though P. has several times the number of sup- porters in the various Greek houses than has P., P. can win an election either if it can get some inde- pendent support, or if no independents at all vote, P. on the other hand, can succeed only if it can per- suade a large number of independent voters to sup- port it. That explains that aspect of the problem- or does it? Anyway, this blitz on the independent students continued for about two weeks. The only persons who derived any enjoyment from the campaign, apparently, were the various persons living at the house from which P. was running its campaign. Their main sport, as upperclassmen, was to introduce them- selves as freshmen to campaigners of the opposing party, and then delay them with inane questions far into the night. The only person who really seemed perturbed over this state of affairs was the party chairman of the organization whose campaigners were being victimized.

Her secret pash for after-college careering, however, is to become a person- nel director so that she can meet and help people, who, incidentally, she prefers to almost anyone else. Football and basketball rank as Genny's favorite sports, a fact that Jay jane sisters wouldn't deny for a minute- they hear her enthusiastic cheering at every game. In spite of her extra-curricular activities: Leavenworth county chairman, membership in the Estes and Cooperative commissions in Y.W.C.A., and I.S.A., this pretty pepster still finds time to devote to the Kaw Coettes, new girls' cooperative house, of which she is president. Genevieve is wrapped up in the cooperative system and definitely believes its progress will be unlimited. Says she: I can't wait to see the campus five years from now, with all the new co-ops springing up.

It has been in practical existence since the founding of the University. About as many students are enrolled in the college as in the other eight schools combined. Nearly half of the degrees carried away from this hilltop are earned in College departments. It is a big business, a complex educational mechanism created in the interest of learning rightly called liberal Nearly everyone knows that it is possible to choose a major in any of twenty-nine departments of the College which will lead to an A.B. degree. It is like- wise generally understood that two years of basic College work are required before entering the School of Business or Education, three before Medicine, and four before Law or the Graduate School. by Siam Kdeidm What many students are not directly aware of is that the College operates as a 'lservice department for the rest of the University, weaving together the diverse activities of the nine schools. General courses required .of students in professional schools are ad- ministered by the College. The magnitude of this important function may easily be overlooked, yet it is immediately clear when we examine prescribed courses in some of the professional schools. In the common freshman year of Engineering 23 of the 52 hours are College courses, taken under the auspices of a College staff. In the sophomore year of Engineering eighteen hours are accounted for by College work. A parallel situation exists in the School of Pharmacy, wherein 23 out of 30 freshman hours are in College departments. Sophomore Phar- macists' take 22 hours of College work. The College ofhce is no Ivory Tower of spacious desks and filing cabinets, impervious to the demands DECEMBER 1941 of this :hanging world. Each passing term sees prog- ressive changes in curriculum and requirements. Chief tom-tom beater in the march to keep, abreast of the times is Dean Paul B. Lawson, who gave im- petus to many ideas now in operation. The faculty of each department made a thorough study last year of its offerings. Courses which are no longer of prac- tical service have been dropped. Remaining courses have been modified in the light of present-day needs, and many courses are definite innovations, appearing for the first time this year. Many departments now offer general or non- technical courses designed for the student who plans to take only a single course in that department. These courses invite attention to fields which otherwise might seem less attractive. Major requirements have been strengthened. Most departments now require that majors take a certain amount of prescribed fundamental courses in the field. The work in the major department must meet a scholastic standard which lately has been raised. Once out of college, highly trained graduates have hurled themselves on the world-at-large without ade- quate command of their native language. The way some of them could mangle the mother tongue caused much distress in the north wing of Fraser Hall. Up Went the shout: God save the King's Englishli' Came the College to the rescue with a new require- ment of major consequence: Every graduate of said school must now pass a proficiency exam in English composition not later than the beginning of his senior year. This step elicited favorable editorial comment throughout the Middle-west, and won the particular approval of William Allen White. For the first time this fall an examination devised to reveal speech defects was given in connection with the entrance physical examination. Those found to have definite faults were given the opportunity for further corrective work. In the fall of 1940 the College introduced a new major in Art which allows students in the College to specialize in Art up to an appropriate limit, and at the same time to carry a liberal program Of other courses they may care to select. A College major in Music has also been developed in recent years. The music course is not as yet rigidly prescribed, although professional credit is restricted to a certain extent. This is offset by the decision of the College faculty to classify freshman and sopho- more work in piano, violin, cello, voice and organ as miscellaneous rather than profeSSiOr1211 Cfedif- l3l These two developments enable students with broad general interests to specialize in music and art without making them the sum total of their educa- tional background. Who are the ones who keep this Gargauntuan enterprise ticking away steadily throughout the school year? 2500 students rhirsting for knowledge must not be disappointed. Heading the school is Dean Lawson, who may be found behind a green-topped desk in a new oliice with southern exposure. The assorted departments are headed by chairmen ap- pointed by the Chancellor. The facultyof each de- partment consists of professors, associate professors, assistant professors, instructors and assistant instruc- tors. CWhat, no associate instructors?D Also essential to the smooth-functioning of a department are its lab assistants and minor technicians, many of whom are undergraduates. Back in the days when courses were largely elec- tive the only subjects specifically required for gradua- tion were rhetoric, hygiene, and physical education. This idyllic condition existed in the early nineteen hundreds until the pendulum began to swing the other way. Gone is the geologist who can locate a well without a witch-hazel stick but vaguely confuses Gray's Elegy with the Gettysburg Address, the tough and terrible engineer who strongly suspects that Virgil antedates the Babe Ruth era. Some have termed the emphasis of the College as education not to learn how to make a living, but rather to learn how to live. To the College the man is best educated who is most broad in his interests. Others look upon the function of the College to stim- ulate students in the quest of knowledge. Today the base of study is so broad that it is diffi- cult to find a K.U. graduate who knows only his special Held, and has no clear ideas of liberal culture and the social, political and economic forces which are shaping the world. One of the cardinal aims of the college is to Ht its graduates for types of work, both old and new, which will constitute the field of enterprise in tomorrow's world. In a broader sense, the College seeks to impart that knowledge which, in the words of Woodrow Wilson, no one can have who knows only his own generation or only his own task. In a country where ideals of democratic educa- tion still live this University, through its College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, is forwarding the broad, basic training which is the foundation of a complete education. THE JAYHAWKER 137 NATION MEYER Tall, blonde Nation Meyer is busy all of the time! Al- though mealtime and usually bedtime find him at the Beta house, to spot him between times is at best a gamble. Most -important of his activities are Vice-President of the Memorial Union building, chairman of the Union social committee, chairman of the Statewide Activity Commission, and social chairman of his fraternity. A junior in the college with a major in economics, Nation has his eye on the banking business when his four years at the state U. are finished. As Union social chairman, Nation was largely the central force behind the Jayhawk Nible and the Hawaiian Hula. Chief likes are golfing, stage plays, the Middle West in general, and Kansas in particular.

Mary Helen likes most everybody, is a friend to about everyone, and has dehnite views on practically everything. Small wonder it is then that she is president of Mortar Board, vice-president of Y.W.C.A., secretary of Corbin Hall, and a member of I.S.A. and Omicron Nu, honorary home economics society. But in spite of all her honors, Mary Helen considers herself a very ordinary person. This culinary artist believes that she is still in the process of learning to cook, although she admits that she can turn out tempting yeast bread-her specialty. To teach home economics to high school girls in a little western Kansas town is het idea of combining fun and career for post- graduate occupation. For relaxation Mary Helen reads Carl Sandburg, and for exercise, walking to and from classes is quite enough, thank you. -Jay Miller KEITH MARTIN An economics major with a penetrating personality is Keith Martin, president of the Y.M.C.A., Chief Sachem, president and part founder of Rock Chalk Co-op, and Summerfield scholar. Keith is so wrapped up in the co- operative concept of economics that he is proud, really proud, of the Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, and john Moore Co-ops which he helped to establish at K.U. As head of the Y, Keith is an organizer and promoter, putting all his heart and top-notch ability into the job. He likes to work with other people. If the army doesn't snare him, he intends to teach economics the liberal way, or enter business-maybe working with co-operatives. Keith thinks that college is a Utopia except for a little worrying about a 2.5 grade point average. Summerheld requirements haven't licked him yet, though, since his three- year college record stands at something around 2.8. This young man of the fair hair and infectious smile likes to loaf, although he seldom gets the chance. His favorite professor is Hilden Gibson. He dotes on hill activities, but thinks honorary societies are somewhat of a farce. Scholar, leader, or just plain good guy --Keith manages to be them all. -B ob C olemfm 154 Whut Tew Bye W!

Let us first, my comrades, consider happily-married Susan. Susan was my best pal in college. Through four madly exciting years we slept beside each other, lent each other our best stockings, wept and laughed on each other's shoulders, and made excuses for each other in chapter meeting. I remember the night Susan got her diamond, Freddy Hammond and I had quarrelled Cthen I was sure that Freddy was at fault, but from the more reflective light of the present I must admit that I was just a trifle stubborn in the matterb, but to go on with our story. Susan came in a little after hours Cshe'd had to awaken the housemotherj all breathless and positively glowing. We sat up most of the night talking and eating all of five pounds of candy that I'd got from home the day before. Everything went along beautifully between Susan and jim while they were engaged Cjim had not yet caught the bus, you seek. I was bridesmaid at their wedding, and it seemed the for worse part of the for better or for worse had something of a fore- boding sound. I was right. jim got worse and WOYSC- It wasn't that he intended to be nasty to poor SUSHT1, but he just wasn't used to drinking warm orange za MW zzwafi am juice and cool coffee for breakfast, to thinking before spending money, or to coming home day after day when he was through at the office. The whole situa- tion was complicated when their first baby came and the budget became more limiting. Susan, through all this, lost her figure, lost interest in keeping her- self well-groomed, got used to working hard all day and getting up at night when the baby cried, got used to seeing Jim's newspaper instead of Jim at meals, got used to long silences when his thoughts were obviously miles away, and got rather good at shopping around the grocery stores to Hnd carrots for three cents less. Let's take me for the typical example of the bach- elor girl. I have a smart little apartment downtown Cmaid service includedj, my clothes are chic, more chic than they ever were in college. I go out or have guests every evening, in fact, a great many of my evenings start with cocktail parties the minute I leave the oliice. I have some four men who take me here and there, they are all, they say, not the marry- ing type. We have a gay time, though, for they are all witty, worldly fellows who try to be interesting companions. We go wherever we like to dine and dance, and theater tickets are not pearls-of-great-price to be gained after weeks of painful planning. I have fiowers often--not potted geraniums growing at my window either. Next year, I'm going to Bermuda for my vacation CI'll send a postal to Susan and Jimbg perhaps I can buy a coupe in the fall . . . maybe, if I manage the evening well, Dick will propose tomorrow night. 156 THE JAYHAWKER IVHN Ill HEHHN HI GAMMA DELTA, intramural football kings in 1940, duplicated their feat of a year ago by defeating Beta Theta Pi 13 to 6 in the final game of the season. The game, although played on a field that had been rendered a quagmire by a steady three- hour drizzle, was a clean victory for the Phi Garns. The playing conditions were reminiscent of those last year when the Phi Gams eliminated the Betas in a semi-final game. The Fijis lost no time in demonstrating their superiority, scoring on the fourth play of the game via the aerial route, Conley to Olson. Staker con- verted. Near the end of the first quarter, Swede Olson, star Phi Gam end, executed a beautiful interception and raced untouched to the goal line, The play was called back because of a clipping penalty, but the Phi Gams were undaunted and four plays later scored again, this time on a short pass from Conley to Healy. The Betas scored their lone touchdown late in the third quarter, driving the length of the field, Hartley receiving a short flip from Mowery. 9 The Phi Gam victory climaxed a season's record Z4 7am Schwinn that boasted seven previous victories against a lone tie. They scored 87 points while holding all adver- saries to the meagre total of 19. Beta Theta Pi, coura- geous runnerup eleven, had trounced six of seven opponents. Offensively, they presented the Hill's best record, scoring 104 points to their opponents 44. This included a 45 to 0 triump over the Delta Chis in which they set the season's high scoring mark. This year due to inclement weather and a shortage of playing fields, only two teams were selected from each division to enter the playoffs. In the opening round, Beta Theta Pi battled its way to a sparkling 14 to 12 triumph over a hard-charging Phi Kappa Psi eleven. The game, played in the late afternoon of a bitterly cold day, saw the Tennessee street grid- sters come from behind twice to clinch a well-earned victory. The margin of victory was provided by place- ment artist Tom Faulders who was unerring in two attempts. Star of the Phi Psi lineup was Hodge, who in this game as in every other during the season, handled the ball on every play. In the other semi-final contest, the Phi Gams, play- ing heads-up football, registered a 12 to 0 triumph over John Pfitsh's Pilugerville Pflashes. Chain Healy, stellar Phi Gam pass receiver gathered in a twenty-yard toss from john Conley, Fiji backfield ace, for one counter and Lewis Riederer covered a blocked Pflash punt in the end zone for the other score. The season was marked. with hard fought and hard won contests. So stiff was the competition that no team was able to finish the season with an undefeated, un- tied record as were the 1940 champions, Phi Gamma Delta. Startling upsets included Carruth I-Iall's 7 to 0 triump over the Theta Tausg the Theta Tau 6 to 0 victory over Beta Theta P13 and the scoreless deadlock between Phi pbotor by Yarnell Gamma Delta and Kappa Sigma. Highlight of the regular season was the game between the Phi Gams and the Phi Psis in which the purple and white Clad gridsters emerged victorious by the count of 2 to 0. Playing in a sea of mud the B team of Beta Theta Pi decisively defeated the Phi Gamma Delta sextet in the finals by the score of 18 to O. This victory climaxed an all victorious season for the Beta six. The Phi Gams had previously defeated four op- ponents. The semi-final contests found the Phi Psis suffer- ing a double blow as both their B and C teams were eleminated. The Phi Gam sextet nosed out the Phi Psi B team 13 to 12 despite a thrilling last minute touchdown by the Indiana street lads. In the other game, the Beta team scored a 6 to O victory- in a contest that was marked by ragged play. The score came in the last quarter on a short pass from Chubb to Jones. In the six-man team league as in the A and B team leagues, four teams fought their way to coveted play-off berths. The semi-flnal contests saw Alpha Chi Sigma eking out a 13 to 7 victory over the Blanks. Alpha Chi Sigma's great Werling was him- self the margin of victory as he tossed three long passes, two for touchdowns. In the other six-man duel Kappa Eta Kappa fell before a determined Rock Chalk crew by a score of 6 to 13. Werts, playing a great game for the co-op, was the star of the after- noon. Team competition in both tennis and horseshoes has advanced through four rounds of play. In team tennis, the court men from the Phi Psi house rank as top-heavy favorite to grab first honors. Included in their list of net stars is a doubles team composed of the Humphrey brothers.

MHHV IHHSHN These in our ball of ARY ELIZABETH LARSON, now associate professor of zoology, has been on the Univer- sity faculty for 19 years. Born in Assaria, Kansas, Miss Larson grew up with the pioneers of Saline County. Her life's philosophy radiates her conscious- ness of her pioneer ancestry to which she feels she owes so many obligations. Because both of Miss Larson's parents were born in Sweden, the language of their native country was spoken in her early home. With a remarkable com- mand of all of the Scandinavian tongues, Mary Eliza- beth couldn't speak a word of English when she entered school at the age of seven. She worked hard, extremely hard, and after grad- uation from high school and a few years of teaching experience in Saline County, she managed to come to the University of Kansas. Here while working her way through school cooking for several organized houses, Miss Larson received her A.B. degree in 1919 and her M.A. in 1922. A member of Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary fraternity, Miss Larson also be- longs to Sigma Xi, national honorary scientific frater- nity, and Phi Sigma, honorary biological fraternity. Other American schools where she has studied are the Universities of Michigan, Minnesota, and Colo- rado, and the Cold Springs Harbor Biological Station in Long Island. On leave from this University in 1928 and 1929, Miss Larson, accompanied by her mother and sister, returned to her ancestrial home for a year of study at the University of Upsala in Sweden. Coming to this country as an immigrant at the age of 17, Miss Larson's mother hadn't been back to Sweden for 44 years. Naturally Miss Larson and her mother, who lives with her in Lawrence, have many friends and rela- tives in Sweden. Concerning their position in the present conflict in Europe, Miss Larson observes, I am convinced from personal knowledge that the Nazi way of life is something the Scandinavians could never accept as a result of their education, traditions, and democracy-a democracy which is not new, but very old. Although she wants some day to return to Sweden, Miss Larson likes it here on Mt. Oread. The Univer- sity, she believes, with its excellent reputation has played a most important part in the development of the Middle West. HIEHHHHHHWIY phoior by Iackron those worth knowing E WORE seventeen different suits to class last semester! was the startling information im- parted when a student was picked at random and asked what he knew about Richard Sebastian Howey, professor of economics. The University's best dressed professor is one of the most popular, too. With classes jammed, students still fight to get Howey! Although born in Carthage, South Dakota, Mr. Howey was reared in California-a place where he still goes to spend his summers. , With his schooling started at the University of South Dakota, he transferred to Harvard for his ScB degree and then on to the University of Southern California for his master's. Graduate work has been done at the University of Chicago where he plans to fulfill his requirements for his doctor's degree. Married only last june, Professor Howey selected a K.U. bride. A Delta Tau Delta from the University of South Dakota, Professor Howey also belongs to Beta Gamma Sigma, national honorary society for the business school and several others of which he can't remember the Greek names. University tennis coach last spring, Mr. Howey is likewise interested in swimming, golf, fencing, and handball. He enjoys bridge and plays when he can find time. He won a bridge cup last year, but now he says he can't exactly remember what for. The handles have already fallen off. Students work hard here on the Hill-maybe even too hard, is Professor Howey's belief. The general level of work done is comparable to that done any place in the country. A philosophy of life? Howey says he doesn't have one. I don't live in the hope of accomplishing any- thing special, I just live on a day-to-day basis, he says. wp Travelling done during his college life took Pro- fessor Howey through most of Europe. Of Paris, I retain pleasant memories, he quietly comments. For all practical purposes, as far as Howey is con- cerned, there isn't any such thing as apple-polishing. He admits there is an occasional misguided person who has been told how to polish, but only rarely. A professor scholastically gets to know around 300 to 400 students each year. Professor Howey in- sists he has never had anyone in class he didn't enjoy having. Perhaps that is the reason the student picked at random added, Howey? Oh, he's swellli' 140 lHl Hlllll HE first quarter of the year's program for intra- mural sports has been completed. The ofiiicers of intramural sports, under their able advisor Miss Ruth Hoover, director of physical education, have managed the tournaments efficiently in spite of a rainy season. The sports which have taken up the first quarter are volleyball, tennis singles and mixed doubles, handball, horseshoes, and archery. Volleyball proved as exciting as prophesied.

Her beauty was that genuine, simple beauty which always accompanies perfection of character. Elizabeth Newell had been in that common classi- fication of those who could be friends with every- body, but intimate with only a few. It was only that few who attended her funeral-her two best friends and the man who was to read the near siloquoy at her grave. The ceremony was unique, but just as Betty's friends knew she would want it. The death-robe was plain, a modest dress, and the body lay in an unpre- tentious but sturdy casket, made by a member of Betty's own household. The funeral home, too, was unique-simply the beautiful, tree-shaded back yard of Betry's home. The late-summer day was perfect for the funeral ceremony, if any day could be perfect for such an occasion. The day typified Berty's entire life-serene, beautiful, full of sunshine. The presiding minister was young, still known as Johnny rather than Mr, Gregory. He was not an ordained minister-just a friend of Betty's family who had been persuaded to officiate at this special ceremony. john W. Gregory felt keenly his respon- sibility. He had watched Betty move into the hearts of all who knew her, from the day she came to the Newell family. The outdoor funeral parlor became appropriately quiet. Mr. Gregory prepared to say good bye for all to Elizabeth. A brown thrush alighted on the tree above Betty's casket and began to sing. John Gregory held his silence. He realized that the song of a bird C0l11d ig fcekn Gamma! tell far more accurately than he the story of Betty's brief earthly existence. The thrush finished his song and flew away. Elizabeth Newell,', he began, came into the family of Robert and Jessie May Newell . . He read on. It didn't matter much what he said. The tribute to Betty was personal and genuine, written by her closest friend. The minister's forced expression- less face concealed any emotions he might have felt. He finished reading, and the ceremony was over. Funeral-master john W. Gregory left his position beside the oaken casket and walked to the Newell home, which stood in the front of the spacious yard. He opened the door and entered without knocking, as he had done many times before. Mrs. Newell, who had seen part of the proceedings from the house, turned to meet the young man. Johnny Gregory, she said harshly, what have you kids been up to?' With that she glanced out the window. Those little brats, she muttered as she strode toward the door. Digging up my lawn . . She reached for the door knob. Please donlt go out now, Mrs. Newell, Johnny pleaded. They're burying her now-it's Betty, Mary Lou's doll. Mary Lou dropped her on the sidewalk this morning. After that, Betty's eyes wouldn't open and she wouldnlt cry when you turned her over. Bobby made a little casket and I was the preacher. We had a funeral. It was lots nicer than Uncle Fred's funeralf' Mrs. Newell turned away, unable to face Johnny any longer. A tear squeezed out of her eye as she walked to a corner of the luxurious living room. She looked at a little worry bird on her knick-knack stand, and confessed to him.

Arlie Simmons was the band for the ,32 Frolic. In 1931, Eddie Wilburn shipped his band from the El Torreon Ballroom to play for Jayhawkers, preceded in '30 by jack Mills. Getting back down to earth . . . So went the Freshman Frolic, the first of the four big Jayhawker massacres of the year-involving over 1400 Halloweeners of the luckiest variety. The sea- son was fall, literally! It was inclusive to the nth degree of snow fall, coiffure fall - and romance. Rumor had it that although anything could have melted the snow, it must have been Charlie Spivak and company. . The Friday morning, October 31, began to atmos- pherize. Especially for the femmes, mist turned to huge flakes of snow by afternoon-and back to rain just in time for the party. Ah, nature. Through the messes into the masses about 9:00 p.m. came exotic gowns, dark suits, fluffy duff, slick tuxesg sport suits, street dresses, and wet feet. COn the last point, con- sistency did have a place in affairsj Spivak's instrumental crew of 15 was one of those 143 outfits that displays but one motive-making music saccharine and plenty torrid. Each and all reposed on the stand, took life calmly for four hours, and played-everything from Tchiakowsky to Hoagy Carmichael. Collectively they dreamed and they drummed. All of which brings to mind good ol' Bunny Shawker, the drummer whose renditions banged up the ballroom for minutes on end. CBy the way, he's so good that he has been selected by Uncle Sam to help with national defense-banging up more than a ballroom.D Then there was Garry Stevens, 26 years old, hand- some, and wow! 700 men had to hang onto their dates to keep from stagging it the rest of the evening. He didn't try to sing. He just stood in front of the mike, gazed dreamily into the crowd, and slayed 'em! griped one escort. As for the women . . .? At the front none too often were the Stardusters, three guys and a tiny gal peering from below. They slicked up their own arrangement of such a favorite as A Week-end in Havana, and did some senti- mentalizing to I Surrender Dear. Melodiously melodic, yes! Not to be forgotten was Charlie himself and his swooney trumpeteering. 'Twas made for listening as was obvious by the mob around the bandstand at least 150 per cent of the time.

The lamp, and it was back in 1866 when it started glow- ing, was kindled at the birth of K.S.U., and has been nourished by the need of comradeship, truth, and learning. With the W passing of each year, the lamp has become brighter-strength . 5 mm' -ali' 1.

A group of secretaries are busily typing. Shortly we are talking to Fred Ellsworth, director of the office. We learn that the Alumni Association is a service organization. It is alumni-organized for service to the University, to the alumni, to the stu- dents, and to future students. This is service in the Jayhawk spirit in the name of fidelity and progression. The Kansas Alumni Association keeps the whole K.U. world together through the upkeep of 32,000 personal address and biographical records of alumni. This Association possesses the largest and most complete collection of biograph- ical information in Kansas ex- cept for the State Historical Society.

The lamp in the window is the embodiment of the Kansas spirit, the spirit of truth, loyalty, learning, and progress. The chief guardian and tender, the very source of the lamp is the Alumni Association. Since the Association is the lamp, the power of the lamp can be only as great as it, and our lamp is bright, reflecting its innumerable services upon our Foster Mother. Do you realize, son, what your Alumni Associa- tion accomplishes for you and for our University of Kansas? Mentally, let's walk into that organizations oHice, shall we? We'll go right in, for we know that we are welcome. ..i .... .. if up to date. By means of a world- Wi. wide inter-communicating sys- if ,,, tem, information on all activities and pictures are on hand. The mailing equipment is so organized that a letter written to any K.U. alumnus sent to the Alumni As- sociation office will be forwarded to and reach that person. The entire list of alumni residing in any particular community can be addressed in a minute. Now we can understand the diligence of the busy secretaries. ' The Graduate Magazine, edited by Fred Ellsworth, is published nine times a year for the members of the Alumni Association. It features personal news and pictures, to keep alive the alumni interest and to keep alumni in tOL1ClZ1 with Jayhawk friends and activities. The Association is able to appropriate building funds, campus improvement funds, scholarships, and financial aids for students through the contributions of its faithful members. The policy of Once a jay- DECEMBER 1941 hawker, Always rl Itzybawker is assumed by the Asso- ciation, and this assumption is continually abetted by the loyal support of Kansas alumni. A program of work for state appropriations for the University and gifts of scholarships for students is also a great service accomplished by the alumni. Each member of the Alumni Association supports the only organized means of letting members of the State Legislature know the needs of the University. It is the Alumni Association with its representatives in all localities that informs the state representatives and senators of the University's legislative program. It is through the operation of the Alumni Association that all campaigns, all plans for gifts and donations and other help--in short, all off-the-campus activities are made possible. Paramount of all the Alumni Associations func- tions is its aid to University athletics. Alumni are an active and constant aid and support to the athletic department. Through the Association, coaches are presented to alumni meetings and put in contact with influential groups and individuals who will help boost University athletics by sending prospective stu- dents to K.U. Some Kansas athletes are aided nnan- cially at the University through the Employment Bureau, another of the valuable services of the Asso- ciation. Nearly 400 men students a year are given jobs by the Men Students' Employment Bureau in the Alumni office. Many boys, who would otherwise be unable to attend K.U., are aided. The Alumni Association sponsors this Bureau, and it is with its effort that this bureau is at all possible. Finally the Association is the basic support of University's widespread public relations activities, which keep alive a vital interest in our University through the cooperation of alumni, students, schools, the radio, and the press. The alumni and students of the Statewide Student Activities Commission work together, putting K.U. into civic club meetings, high school assemblies, window displays, the news col- umns, in the home town papers. The Alumni Asso- ciation and Student Activities Commission promote good will trips and programs in towns throughout the state. Local alumni clubs cooperate in maintain- ing and spreading the Kansas U. spirit in their com- munities during the year. Because of its varied activi- ties and vital position, the Alumni ASSOCiflfi0H 15 the greatest distributor of University news. Fred Ellsworth 145 Student Activities look for assistance from the Alumni Association-and the Alumni Association is always there with that assistance. The band is uni- formed through the Association. The Glee Club finds support in the Association. The success and in- fluence of county clubs is dependent upon the Asso- ciation. Campus beautification and extension, the enlarge- ment of the Memorial Union building, the rejuvena- tion of Dyche Museum of Natural History, and the Kansas Geology camp in Colorado all would have been fantastic pipe dreams had not the Alumni Asso- ciation developed them into realities. The Kansas Alumni Association is a great and necessary part of the University. No University can progress or grow in importance without the active support of interested alumni. K.U. is growing, her prestige is rising, and we realize that the greater part of the credit is within this single organization, the Kansas Alumni Association. So you see, son, there's a great deal behind this great celebration of Homecoming. There's something more to it than the spirit and the color, the football stadium, or the noise-something like ten thousand sons coming home! Something like thirty-two thou- sand Kansans burning with pride-thirty-two thou- sand tradition keepers assuring forever that lamp in the window. ' tigffrmg l plaolor by Bmnine Hill llllflllllllll LEC TEMPLETON and his boogie woogie came to Lawrence on the biggest day of the year. Students striking for the Kansas State victory holiday entertained him as much as he entertained them. Arriving early on the memorable morning of November 17, the famous Templeton was sleeping in his hotel room at the Eldridge when the band and ballyhoo blazed its way down Massachusetts street. It was terrific, the artist exclaimed. Late afternoon found him acquainting himself with the piano he was to use in Hoch auditorium that evening. Friendly and enthusiastic, he graciously talked with reporters. ' Most of us, who weren't too well versed in such matters, imagined Templeton to be just another big name pianistf' We had heard of him, certainly, but not in the light we were to see him in that evening. Alec Templeton likes his swing! He likes it, though, in a subdued sort of way-in a way so the Ay lem Uwmm classicists wouldn't mind or the composers turn over in their graves. He realizes the classics are the basis of all music, but he is broadminded enough to include swing as music. Now in his early thirties, Templeton was born on a farm near Cardiff, South Wales, on the Fourth of July. The son of a Scottish gentleman farmer, he began to show his musical talent very early. At two, his tiny lingers crawled awkwardly over the keyboard of the old family upright piano in attempts to imitate a church bell. His ability to recognize incorrect chords in his sister's practicing and correct them soon developed. At four he composed his first known com- position. It turned out to be a lullaby, and his mother used it to sing him to sleep. A Handicapped with his small childish hands, little Alec often made use of his elbows to reach notes necessary for larger chords. This is easier to believe when it is known that the young Mozart once used 1 l 4 1 4 DECEMBER 1941 the tip of his nose for a note the limited stretch of his hands could not reach. After a number of years, Alec, father answered the call of his son's genius, disposed of his property, and moved his family to London. At twelve Alec was admitted to the Royal Academy of Music where he studied under the best masters. A comprehensive study of all kinds of music followed in the copious stores of the Royal Academy. A year later he won the British Broadcasting Company prize for composi- tion, and shortly afterward the degrees of Licentiate of the Royal Academy of Music and Associate of the Royal College of Music. Then the real Templeton was born! It was Templeton the mimic. His imitations of noises, well known composers, and concert artists can provoke the most ardent classicists to roaring laughter. Tem- pleton has achieved an unusual feat-he is a fascinat- ing show to sophisticated listener and layman alike. A true humorist and satirist with the full equip- ment of a splendid musician, was the description given him by Maurice Dumesnil, French pianist and conductor. Templetonis rare art of putting humor into music was never more delightfully apparent than in his concert here on the Hill. Alec Templeton's blindness is now totally un- mentioned in his press releases. A genius and artist in his own right, he is no longer billed as the blind pianist. It is interesting, however, to realize that he assimilates his large repertoire of standard and popu- lar music by ear. After listening to a composition, he spends a few minutes in thought and verification. He then plays the number, completely memorized. Eager, vivacious, and convincing, Templeton was rightfully voted the outstanding radio personality in 1939. And so Templeton came to Lawrence November 17. Nearly five thousand eager and curious persons jammed Hoch auditorium for the concert. At inter- mission, most of the student body making up a large part of that Hve thousand were slightly bored! The first two-thirds of the program was classical. It was not that Templeton couldn't handle the ulonghaired stuff, it was just that the average student tires of it easily. Yawning listeners had a pleasant awakening after intermission. They saw a new Templeton before their eyes-Templeton the mimic. His first number, Turkish March by Mozart, lost its Mozart half way through and picked up syncopated rhythm- SPOU' 147 taneous laughter came from the audience with each solid off beat. Haydn Takes to Ridin' came next and was made for those in the crowd, as Templeton describes them, who don't take their music quite so seriouslyf, An incredible piece of improvisation followed when five notes called from the audience' were used as the basis for an improvised theme. What might have been George Gershwinls version of the theme was then presented in typical Gershwin style. Next came Doin's at the Ruins, a take-olf on Beethoven's Ruins of Athens. And at the last came another improvisation-this time one on four melodies. Cleverly interwoven into one number were Camp- town Races, Tschaikowsky's Piano Concerto, William Tell Overture, and Blue Danube Waltz. Riotous applause brought a second improvisation from four more melodies- In the Mood, Bolero, Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C-Sharp Minor, and St. Louis Blues. Encores from here on out featured the Templeton mimicry. The first imitation was that of an old- fashioned player -piano, set at speed 78, playing a torn role of Mendelssohn's Spring Song. Templeton's impressions of the noise from the practice rooms in Frank Strong hall were so realistic they were almost embarrassing. Most timely imitation was that of the self-imposed holidayl' parade through downtown Lawrence. Rhythmic shouting, cries of Where's Old Malott? and faint strains of the Alma Mater and Billboard march were especially distinguishable. Next came Templeton's famous Wagnerian opera mimicry. The guttural Ich's and Ach's of a strangling German tenor, the shrill high notes of the emotional soprano, the grunting sounds of the basso, all were there. Last of the unusual was a two- way rendition of Mary Had a Little Lamb. First, as a hill-billy mountaineer, the second, as a Cuban dancer. Returning to the serious, Templeton completed his program with a presentation of one of his favorite poems with musical background. The concert was over, Alec Templeton had left the stage, but unconnected bits of his musical poetry lingered with his listeners- A laugh is just like music, It lingers in the heart . . . . . . Alaugh is just like music For making living sweetf' Womens Freshman Election za MW fwamaaaza f HEY won! Quiet! If speaking of a certain women's party or combine, there is no such thing on the hill and the fact is not mentioned. There have been no com- bines on the campus since the Krzmam boldly ex- posed the sorority combines in 1955. A The winners happen to be Betty Pyle, Gamma Phi, as vice-president of the freshman class, and Joanne Johnson, independent, as secretary. This election showed a marked rise in enthusiasm with 294 votes being cast. The election as usual was -run quietly without campaign movement or other ballyhoo which was the core of the men's election. While the men passed out cigars, toted their voters to the polls and did a considerable amount of mud slinging, the women carried on in a less demonstrative manner typical of the fairer sex. Of course, the women's polls were a scene of conllab at different times while these youngsters pondered over the names on the ballot, trying to remember the name of the girl whom they had been assured by friends was the best candidate. Since the beginning of the WSGA, it has been the aim of the group to keep political parties . and combines from Joanne Johnson forming among the University women. They tried to show each student that it was the candidate who was significant and not the party in power. In 192 6 they passed the first bill which was a step to- ward a better man- ner of electing their candidates. The fol- pbotor by Brock Betty Pyle lowing bill was passed: Article I-WSGA shall hold a mass meeting of all women of the University at which time the nominations shall be made from the floor for an executive office of the 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 eligi- ble candidate. When 50 signers have been secured, the candidates may run. If less than 5 candidates are nominated, the WSGA executive councilishall nominate enough women to fill the required number. In 1958 the group adopted a much broader man- ner of choosing their candidates which allowed the girls as a whole more voice. Now the candidates for election must interview a committee instead of circulating petitions as in past years. The nominating committee is composed of five senior women-2 members of Mortar Board as selected by that group, the president of WSGA coun- cil, one member is selected by the council from its group, one member to be selected from without that group, and one adviser serving in ex-officio capacity. Members of both organized and unorganized houses are supposed to be represented on the committee. These chosen nominees are then introduced to the freshman women en masse at the annual election tea given by the WSGA, which gives the girls a chance to meet their representatives to be. In choosing girls for such positions it is the work of the council to choose a girl who is an outstanding figure on the hill and will be able to maintain a C average throughout her servance on the council. K C ontimzed on Page 1532 , l Ma Book Exchange AY after day throughout the fall, spring, and stunmer sessions of classes, the W.S.G.A. Book Exchange stands ready to buy and sell used textbooks. During the 31 years since its organization by the Women's Self-Government Association, thousands of students have benefited from its service. The Exchange was first located in Fraser Hall where it was run as a cooperative on a commission basis. Each student named the price to be asked for his book, and the Exchange received a 10 per cent commission on each sale. , The involved bookkeeping required by this system, the failure of students to return for their money until several years following the sale of books, and the desire to keep the exchange open during the semester as well as between semesters caused the exchange to be reorganized on an outright purchase and sale basis. At that time it was moved to its present location in the basement of the Memorial Union building. The profits collected during the ensuing years were put into a 355,000 scholarship fund, the interest on which provides scholarships for women students. A second reorganization was undertaken by the W.S.G.A. in the spring of 1941 at which time the Exchange was put on a non-profit basis. Books are now bought at 40, 50, or 60 per cent of the price originally paid by the student and sold at 25 per cent more than the purchase price. Only 10 per cent is collected on purchase prices under 351.00 In addition to buying and selling books the ex- change provides an opportunity for students to sell books no longer used in the University. During the January and june buying periods, a representative of the Wilcox and Follett Company of Chicago spends several days at the exchange acquiring such books. The exchange is open for business from 9:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday during the school year. Nadine Hunt, C43, is the manager and two other students are regularly employed. In addi- tion, approximately four times that many students End employment in the exchange during the rush periods. Z 9 KW W Z Q! VZQW 12:29 a.m.-Nighty Night 10:30 a.m.- Sleep-ltfs Wonderful Gad!

As a result of these almost bom- bastic intonations, the audience could scarcely keep from becoming impatient for the actor to Hnish so the play could go on. And the frequency of these spots throughout the evening made the whole production seem slower-moving than it need have, had the director and cast given more thought to audience response. Emily jean Milam played the young Stuart queen. She handled well the dif- ficult assignment of convincing the audience that Mary was a good, though too trusting woman, innocent of the condemnations of most historians and most of the other characters in the play. Using the advantages of being blessed with both beauty and good bearing, Emily jean portrayed the queen with all the regality and, at times, splendor necessary to the role- without, it should be added, making Mary Stuart seem more than human. Another outstanding performance of the evening was Daniel Bachman's cavalier, swashbuckling, and fervently loyal Earl of Bothwell. Bachman is an actor of the old school, complete with poses and elastic eyebrows-and he carries it off extremely well for a stu- dent. His sense of dramatic timing is particularly to be complimented and he was the least offender of the cast in encountering poetic passages. Summing up, then, I feel that although the group attempted to pre- sent a play which demands too much from college students, their attempt was in a large degree successful and that all in all Mary of S cozlmzd was one of their best presentations to date. Let's hope they can maintain their high standard in the plays they will be giv- ing the rest of this year. 0 Election for Freshmen Men Only !COYl,lilllL9!l from Page 1271 the situation that he gave the cam- paign manager of the opposition Cone of the chief prankstersj very strict orders to be sure and attend the next strategy meeting of the party which was being so thoroughly heckled by that very individual himself!

Occasionally it raises money for an extended trip, such as the one to Washington, D.C., in 1958. A pet project of Mr. Wiley's, and a very good one, is to build a band shell somewhere on the hillside and hold weekly twi- light concerts in the springtime, but he admits that it may be some time before that dream comes true. Far from being just another class, the band is a living organization, in the running of which students have a large degree of participation. Student committees do much of the planning and help Mr. Wiley with many phases of his work. Heading the student organization is an executive committee with President, Herbert Mueller, two vice-presidents, a business manager, and two librarians. The band holds monthly meetings at which it plans its activities.

Now when Auntie was a student at dear old K.U. and the women were experiencing their first effects of woman suffrage, the girls gave much of their time and thought to an elec- tion. At this time the men and wom- en's elections were held together. In 1919 the freshman women staged the most spirited election ever witnessed in the history of the Univer- sity. 558 ballots were cast' and the issue which encompased their interest was that concerning 10:50 closing hours along with the election of can- didates. It seems the women had felt a greater need for more spare time to be devoted to those men who were to join the colors. Before this time the women were not allowed to be out in the company of men after eight oiclock. It was not considered wrong to be escorted home from the library by a young gentleman-but only from the library. A feeling of patriotism Hlled the hearts of the council and they were to allow women to observe 10:30 closing hours durings the last 10 days of an enlisted man's stay on the campus. Also, Auntie was receiving her edu- cation in the days when 11 o'clock 153 closing hours were considered a rare treat while the coed of '41 is allowed a 2:50 late leave for occasions other than cultural. To enjoy an election at this time one had to be the member of a party and there were some powerful parties at the time, such as the Domino party which promoted democracy, and the Reconstructive Party which was fight- ing for a new form of government. But they party which emerged with the greatest number of votes seemed to be the Pachamac organization which was devised to break up old alignment of fraternities versus the non-fraternity politics on the hill. Both meri and women were members of this group. From the above description it is to be seen that the Pachamac party of today is not of the same origin. In 1926 the women's parties were abolished and the men chose to carry on their elections separately from the women. Hereby the men were to re- ceive the offices of the presidency and treasurer of the various classes while the women were to choose the vice president and the secretary. Thus the women have changed from their radical viewpoint on elections to the conservative side which makes their elections seem rather insignih- cant, but the WSGA emphasises the fact that it is the results of the election, Affer 'fhe Show or Affer fhe Dance e IT'S ALWAYS ' I W i e d e m a n n s 835 Mass.

Such standbys from last yearis team as Guy, Horacek, and Mendenhall will be re- turning in addition to a host of sopho- more stars. Although Kansas State has not defeated Kansas since 1929, they have lost some heart-breakers, includ- ing last year's game at Lawrence. In this battle Kansas State was two points ahead with only 15 seconds to play, and on the pass-in from out of bounds Bob Allen stole the ball and passed to Engleman who scored the goal to tie the game. In the overtime Kansas went on to win 50 to 45. Missouri has eight of last years squad returning, and they also have a pair of giants, one 6 ft. 6 in., and one 6 ft. 8 in. Star veterans include Gregg and Storm along with squad men Evans, Bedford, Carter, Harvey, Mills, and Constantz.

O The Battle of Dianas fContinued from Page 1402 The fourth week of volleyball being the week of semi-finals was full of rally and enthusiasm. The game be- tween the Thetas and the Kappas was a tight fightn-the Kappas emerged with a two point margin. This victory led the Kappas to the finals with Cor- bin Hall for the volleyball cup for organized houses. The teams were evenly matched, and both sides had much spirit, the Kappas winning 29 to 26, which made them winners in the organized house bracket. The powerful I.W.W. team, with only 7 players, stood staunch C35 to 161 against the Kappas for the all-school intramural title. I.W.W. and Kappa Kappa Gamma remain the undisputed champions. The other sports in this quarter were sports involving individual com- petition. The out-of-door tournaments have been held up because of wet weather, therefore the winners in ten- nis, horseshoes, and archery have not yet been determined. Among the outstanding teams still in competition for the mixed-doubles tennis championship are: Shirley Irwin- John jenkins, Billie Giles-Frank Gage, Mary Beth Dodge-Browder Richmond, and Peggy Pat Hennessy-Malcom Black. The most promising girls left in the tennis singles are: Peggy Davis, Kappa Alpha Theta, Richenbacher, Delta Gamma, Mary Beth Dodge, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Billie Giles, Pi Beta Phi, Evelyn Hodgson, Miller Hall, Mildred Jo Wells and Phyllis Struble, Corbin Hall, and Lucille Com- ley, Pi Beta Phi. The semi-Hnals in horseshoes will be played between the Corbin Hall team and Watkins Hall team. The winner of this match will play Chi Omega for 155 the championship. w The handball tournaments have, as the others, not yet come to an end. Evelyn Herriman, I.W.W. and winner of this event last year, is matched with Billie Giles, Pi Beta Phi, in the semi- finals. Peggy Davis, Kappa Alpha Theta, will meet Brownlee, Alpha Chi Omega, in the remaining semi-final match. The intramural sports to be offered in the second quarter are aerial darts, ping pong, and basketball. All organized groups should be con- gratulated on the fine spirit that they have shown thus far this year in intra- mural sports. 0 Government by Women fCantinued from Page 1051 One of the most important proj- ects of W.S.G.A. is the book exchange, now located in the sub-basement of the Memorial Union building.

It was a strictly non- profit project. Student help required to operate the exchange was paid for out of the W.S.G.A. treasury. Soon campus minds hatched the plan for a bookstore to be owned by the student body. As early as 1912, however, they came to realize that the setting up of such a store was a prac- tical impossibility. Downtown inter- ests said, No, no, and they weren't teasing. A new profit policy was adopted. A student with a book to sell could get cash on the counter at the W.S.G.A. exchange, which then sold the book for ten per cent profit. Student clerks were paid out of the exchange's own money. This is the program still fol- lowed. The men, who know a good thing when they see it, have proposed that they take over the book exchange. W.S.G.A. has found that by saying, All right, but we set the price, they can surprise the masculine bargainers into silence on the matter. The book exchange belongs to the women be- cause they founded it, have operated it for over 30 years, and own the funds invested. In the past W.S.G.A. has offered a number of scholarships each year. One is a gift of IISO and two are loans of 3550 each. This money goes to women with high scholarship rating who ac- tually need assistance. Income from the 355000 scholarship fund derived from thebook exchange goes to deserving students chosen by a competitive ex- amination. W.S.G.A. interests have included not only book business and scholarship boosting but also the sponsoring of dances, musical comedies, and Carnivals. Frivolity is the spice of life, says many a feminine philosopher. In the begin- ning the Association s p o n s o r e cl monthly dances, designed not only to develop 1910 hepcats but also to put money in the W.S.G.A. coffers, per- enially empty until the Association was cut in on Activity Book funds.

Comedy lines and music were written by students, who also drama- tized the wisecracks and did the high kicking. Successive springs saw the Jayhawker Broadway light up with such titles as Green Days, Wango Pango, and Hold That Line. In 1936 W.S.G.A. voted to sponsor an annual carnival instead of the mu- sical show, and for several years this was done. Each organized house had a booth at these fairs, and a prize was awarded to the most original conces- sion. Records do not show that skin games were prohibited. To promote interest in current topics among Hill women, the Association set up a Women's Forum in 1917. Faculty and outsiders were the speakers at regular meetings. This project was a predecessor of the present Forums Board which represents both W.S.G.A, and Men's Student Council. Another W.S.G.A. baby is the women house presidents' council. In 1918 a request was sent to all room- ing houses asking them to form house organizations and elect house presi- dents, and for a presidents' council to be formed of heads of both sororities and independent houses. Less than three weeks later, the house presidents held their Hrst meeting. Starting with thirteen members was lucky for the executive council of W.S.G.A. It is now in its fortieth year of campus governing. Eight members have been added to the council's per- sonnel since its organization, making a total of twenty-one women who have the say on what time campus curfew shall ring. The faculty advisory committee for W.S.G.A. includes Miss Elizabeth Me- guiar, adviser of womeng Miss Elize Neuenschwander, professor of romance languagesg Miss Beulah Morrison, pro- fessor of psychologyg Miss Edna A. Hill, professor of home economics. Miss Neuenschwander has served on this committee longer than any other member, and has taken a special in- terest in the book exchange. It is largely because of her guidance that the exchange has been so successful. HYDE PARK SUITS - TOPCOATS 089 Gibbs Clothing Company 811 MASS. AUTO WRECKING AND JUNK CO.

As the books are closed on the 1941 season, the Jayhawk entries show three victories against six defeats. Two of the triumphs were over conference op- ponents, Iowa State and Kansas State, while the third was over a non-league foe, Washington University of St. Louis. In the opening game of the season, the Kansans lost to a strong Temple team at Philadelphia 31 to 9, although the great Owl back, Andy Tomasic, was forced to play second Hddle all evening to Miller, who completed 13 out of 24 passes for a total of 184 yards. Next came the first of three victories at home for the Jayhawks as they rolled over Washington University's Bears 19 to 6. On the following Saturday, the Nebraska Cornhuskers combined speed, power, and breaks to snow Kan- sas under a 32 to 0 score at Lincoln. Marquette, another rough spot on the Crimson and Blue schedule, defeated the Jayhawks 35 to 7 at Milwaukee. Returning to the friendly confines of Memorial Stadium, Henryis men picked up their second victory of the season by conquering Iowa State 15 to 0 with Niblo scoring both of his team's touchdowns. Oklahoma then shut out the Jayhawks at Norman by a 58 to 0 count, and the West Virginia Moun- taineers bumped the Kansans at Mor- gantown, West Va., 21 to'0. The high point of the season for most Kansas fans was the 20 to 16 triumph over Kansas State's Wildcats which saw Miller and Denzel Gibbens playing Frank Merriwell roles in con- verting defeat into victory in the last three minutes of play. Don Faurot's terrihc Tigers then mauled the Jay- hawks by a score of 45 to 6 in the traditional Homecoming game between the two schools which was played this year at Lawrence.

Watch it now-it's- C-R-A-S-H! A perfect hit! The very sound of 'em falling sets you tingling all over. Like a homer withthe bases loaded...a hoie in one...like the full, rich flavor ofa certain cigarette. it never fails to thrill. No matter how much you smoke, there's always a fresh, wel- come taste to a Camel-for Camels are milder with less nicotine in the smoke. The smoke of slower-burning Camels contains 0 LESS ICOTI E than the average of the 4 other largest-selling brands tested- less than any of them-according to independent scientific tests of the smoke itself! THE SCORE-BOARD tells the story. More smokers prefer Camels ...smokers like Lowell jackson' to whom mildness is so importantmsmokers who want a flavor that doesn't tire the taste . ..smok- ers who want more out of a cigarette than something to carry in hand or pocket. You'll never know what you've been missing until you smoke Camels. TWENTY TIMES Low Jackson falmvej has rolled the perfect score GOOD.

One-sixth of the student body will enter the service of our country or commence with their life's work. Whatever they do, their actions will be directed toward a certain goal. For all action is considered in terms of an ultimate end--be it the infiltration of the Communists, the propaganda of the Fascists, or the advertising of the Jayhawker. The end for these, perhaps, a perfect state--for us, a perfect record of your college career. And to attain this perfect record, we must add the last act in the four-year college drama, the seniors and graduation. As always, a section is reserved for seniors in the fifth and last issue of the Jayhawker. This is your opportunity to place on permanent file your senior picture and an identifying compilation of your achievements and activities at K.U. Act now. Call Hixon's today or tomorrow when you get home from class for an early appointment. Help us reach our goal of perfection.

Maurice is now in training for the Naval Reserve at Chicago and it is with great regret that the JAYHAWKER bids adieu to his artistry. With the events of December 7th so deeply im- pressed upon our thoughts and actions the JAY- HAWKER through its cover once again tries to show ourselves as ithers see usf' In John Waggoner's article on Will We Win the Peacei' we find a far- seeing individual pointing out that although the immediate problem is victory, the big problem will be the peace. This is an important truth that we must not lose sight of. John Ise, professor of economics at K.U. who is now teaching on leave of absence at Amherst, gives us some excellent impressions in answer to the ques- tion of a change in intellectual climate. On the lighter side of life . . . the side that we learn to appreciate more and more each day . . . we wish to brag especially on Clint Kanaga's excellent article on Phog Allen. This is the best piece on Allen that has appeared for some time. Clint follows his feature on Doc with a rapid play by play descrip- tion of the basketball season to date. Stan Kreider offers another of his superb jobs in a series on the School of Fine Arts. Stan dips his picturesque pen to cover the School of Fine Arts as such and also the K.U. symphony concert and the annual Christmas Vespers. The work is remarkable in quantity and excellent in quality. Also on the lighter side is Spencer Burtis's sharp uSnow White . . . Modern Version. The story is told in the manner in which a present K.U. student would tell it to his grandchildren. Charline johnson gets the facts and makes them live and breathe in her Medicine in the City. Char- line is another staff member whose leaving' we regret to report. When you finish running after her through- out the maze of buildings which comprise the K.U.

The day after American declared war on Japan, and our little world came tumbling down on our heads we saw a college couple getting quite amorous in one of the Union fountain's more sequestered booths. Call it a sign of the times, if you wish, we expect it to be labelled as evidence of a general moral letdown all over the nation. What is this younger generation coming to besides war? We shanit moral- ize on the boy kiss girl question war or no war. Our only point is that the Union fountain has far too few circular booths. Of course we are speaking of the circular type . . . voted two to one the most prefer- able for this line of work . . . and by the experts. In the Union fountain there are 1 1 of these cozy nests which with two couples to a stall would only take care of 44 students. Further production of these amorous ovals has been curtailed. Priorities have been invoked for defense. Defense of whom? a play ...... Dame rumor was whispering about that Thunder Rock,f' the Dramatics Club's production of Decem- ber 9, 10, and 11, was one of its best. We wandered up to try to learn just what the dear lady meant. After an interesting two hours we felt that she was right . . . it was good. The only bad places that we could detect came at the three curtain scenes. Each time the curtain went down we felt like we had lost something and then when it went back up, instead of looking for the lost article, we had forgotten what it was. Perhaps, it was the craft of the playwrite to hold the interest, but we shall never go to another play without being reminded that we once lost some- thing during a drama. Nor shall we cease wondering just what it was. The most disturbing element of the production was in being seated behind two campus wiseacres who strove in vain to insert comedy when- ever the actors or author had overlook the opportu- nity. With well timed coughs and clever comments these two Falstaffs amused themselves. We were re- minded of babies crying in chuch . . . and held our temper, thewar...... One of the most amazing phases of this war to this casual observer is the soccer game between the English and the Axis in North Africe. Both teams seem to have great offenses and poor defenses. Of course this analysis is in direct contradiction of the age old theory expounded by Socrates or Knute Rockne or some one to the effect that the best defense is a good offense. We are now in the third quarter of this battle and the Axis is once again moving goal- ward. The first quarter was definitely the Axisis and the second period was just as decisively that of the British. With no score as yet it appears that the fourth quarter must see one side or the other in scoring ter- ritory. In any event the soldiers on both sides should be better off as to geographical knowledge because both teams have covered the same ground several times. glamor . . . . . . It is mid-winter-but a beautiful summery day and you are being bored for the time being with your required lab course. Suddenly zooming down from the skies comes the roar of a powerful airplane motor. Regardless of your sex, you assume that there is an airplane accompanying this diving motor, but if you be girl, you dream up a tall handsome leather clad knight who might alight upon your ceiling, step, out, and ask you to marry him. If you be male, you will probably imagine yourself driving the diving chariot and all of the glamor that goes therewith. In any event, whether premediated or not, this is publicity of the best sort. On any day it does not take much inducement to make the average student forget col- lege, but add to that a beautiful day and the super thrill of wings and you have a real talking point for service for Sam. This is definitely the air-minded age. The glamor of fast charging horses and Hashing sabers no longer beckons the modern Galahad to arms. Very few young men imagine the mucky shell hole as a step toward glory. But the winged chariot with 1200 horsesi' has captured the fancy of our cynical genera- tion. 170 T H E JAYHAWKER IMPHISSIHNS OU ask for my impressions as to the difference between the intellectual climate of Amherst and that of K.U. This is a diiiicult assignment, really, for intellectual climate is not a very objective qual- ity. Yet I do have some impressions, which I am glad to share with you, with this warning that they are not worth much. Amherst, one of the very best small colleges in the country, has a wealthy climate. The college is heavily endowed-the endowment is about thirteen millions, salaries are high-professors, salaries begin several notches above the point where they end at K.U.g most of the teaching is done, not by assistants and instructors, as in so many universities, but by teachers in the upper ranks, buildings and equipment seem lavish, even extravagant in some respects. A college of only 850 students, Amherst has more room and equipment for some of the sciences than K.U. has for her 4,000 students, and a better library, I believe. Many of the students have money too, although they make no display of it around the campus. Prob- ably half of them come from the homes of the wealthy and well-to-do. One of the boys came to see a col- league of mine about a problem relating to the in- come tax-revealing the fact that his father's income was 3B289,000 a year. There are poor students too, some of whom are working their way through col- lege, but the percentage of wealthy boys is far greater than in any western school I have known. This means several things. In the first place, it means that many of the students have had whatever advantages there are in being reared in homes of wealth-and in some cases, no doubt, of refinement and culture. It means that about half of the students have had their preliminary training in private prep schools, where the expenses run about 31500 a year, and where the training is generally good. Doubtless it is in these prep schools that the boys learn to call their professor sir, and rise at the dining table when a professor comes to dine. If I didn't know better, I fear I might get a notion that I am a gentleman. ZW fda With so many sons of economic royalists in class, I find my style cramped a little, but not much, for there is a great deal of freedom here. I did notice one day that a satirical reference to the uplayboys at Miamiv drew some protests, for there were a few in my class. Eighty-five per cent of the boys belong to fraternities, so membership seems to confer about as much distinction as allegiance to the Republican Party in Vermont or the Catholic Church in Boston. Not all students have a plethora of money, and, as I have said, a few work their own way. If these find the going too tough, I am told that someone sees someone about it, and needed funds are forthcoming. Around here someone always seems to know where there is money. In some ways Amherst appears to be a rather democratic place, in spite of wide variations in in- comes. About half of the fraternity men eat at the college dining room, and all freshmen must eat there. With no girls around to make them dress-conscious, the boys dress most unconventionally, as boys should who are concerned with philosophy and economics and the higher things of life. Quite a few of them look a bit like reliefers, in their blue overalls or corduroys, and their loose, sloppy white jackets flap- ping in the wind, but I have never offered to give them anything, and I don't think it would be expected. It is just their way-and a pretty line way too, espe- cially in wartime. I sometimes have the impression that these stu- dents are generally more conservative in their eco- nomic views than those at K.U., but there are more real radicals too, more real socialists. Sometimes when I mention Roosevelt or the New Deal some of them hiss, or if I criticize the New Deal in any way they snap their fingers-the Amherst style of ap- plause. The students who are not asleep in class are often quite interested and responsive, and quite a few have done some reading. Coming from homes of wealth, many of these boys have had advantages They have heard operas and fCo1ztinzzed on Page 232i l 3 l Q 5 Z l X Q v g, ,4 a 'LB ., H. Ng QM .N ,.,. . E N .

The answer is wrapped up in the diverse doings of that school we know as Fine Arts. Some say you can tell a Fine Arts student by the aesthetic expression on his face. Beyond this, which is surely forgivable, they look just like people, espe- cially at K. U., where they don't go around with misty eyes and long hair, humming Beethoven. Art work may mean design, art education, indus- trial design, drawing, painting or sculpture, while the musical end of it entails theory, public school music, piano, violin and voice. Organizations not strictly academic which are sponsored by the Fine Arts school are the band, orchestra, glee clubs and A cappella choir. All of these were again filled to capacity shortly after enrollment. The department of design has acquired two new wrinkles in the process of two year's growth: a major in industrial design under Prof. T. D. jones, and an enlarged program of sculpture with Pocoi' Frazier at the helm. The former is a business as well as an art, for students are selling their ideas to manufactur- ers at a sizeable profit. They are concerned with what shape of package looks largest to the housewife with that thrifty gleam in her eye, which design on a tube of toothpaste will best attract the consumer. Professor jones is the builder of the color organ, an instrument which produces weird and beautiful designs in mov- ing colors. It is used in the study of color theory. Up where the mallet and chisel hold sway among the plaster casts which used to be so white and neat, aspirants to the ancient art of sculpture are absorbed in the offerings of this expanding field. This is Bernard Frazier's first year as head of all work in sculpture, and it promises a glorious future. pbolm' by juckron. faq Sian Kfmkfw In the sky-lit studios on top of Ad we find the brush- wielders, who love the smell of paint and the lavish use of it. The many media in which it is possible to dabble include charcoal, graphite, monochrome, ink, oils, watercolors, pastels-in short, nearly everything but sand and chewing gum. Basic sketch courses re- ceive credit in engineering, education, and the College. Nature is a happy subject for artists. Many a lachry- mose landscape can be toned up by tossing in a mean sunset. The department, in addition to its curricular pro- gram, sends out traveling exhibitions of student work to schools over the State. On the campus it provides a new display every month at the Spooner-Thayer museum, a part of the subtle campaign to make every Jayhawker a vulture for culture. Newly-appointed head of the department of de- sign is Marjorie Whitney, who has a remarkable ca- pacity for getting things done. Here students. have found a market for their creations in pottery, jewelry, wood carving, beadwork, costume accessories, and de- signs for textiles, wallpaper and playing cards. Fur- ther negotiations are in progress with makers of glass products. Graduates in design have carried their art far from the slopes of Mount Oread. The list of their activities ranges from the practical to the fanciful. Take, for example, the ex-Hillite who is now designing elec- trical fixtures for a well-known manufacturer, or the girl who get a big whack, as well as a good living, out of making marionettes in her own factory. Some have been attracted to the new field of occupational therapy in hospitals, while others are working with govern- ment recreational projects. Numbers have made a mark for themselves, literally, in advertising art and garment designing. Still others may be found in mu- seums Cnot as specimensj and in private studios. Art education is for those expecting to teach art, as is its musical counterpart, public school music. Grad- ' fC01zti1zued on Page 2332 ' E JAYHAWKER I' H 174 .. lHl IlNIVlHSIlY ITH the advent of war, music takes on greater stature in the uncertain life of the college stu- dent. The offerings of the current concert season have acquired a richer significance in the light of world events. This year's calendar of musical attractions is one of the fullest and finest in Hill history. Three days before the shooting the University Sym- phony Orchestra presented its annual concert. The program was by turns patriotic, profound, comic, sentimental, hilarious and dramatic, embracing an as- sortment of musical fare to suit all tastes. ,The per- formance as a whole consisted of a very agreeable suc- cession of sounds, with no fugues to frighten the chil- dren. A large and rather complacent audience came, heard, and was conquered by the enthusiastic response of the student musicians to Mr. Kuersteiner's deft in- dications with the baton. The evening was given a rousing send-off with an impressive flag-raising to the tune of the National Anthem. The players then settled down momentarily to await the ponderous plunge of the downbeat. The initial selection was Tschaikowski's Sixth Symphony, the Pathetique . Most conductors enjoy shaking a stick at the Pathetique, Mr. Keursteiner being no ex- ception. Likewise, his eighty-two charges entered into 'the spirit of the piece with gusto. The rendition did not suffer from an excess of spirit, however, since it was stabilized by a suitable degree of restraint. To pick out any high spots is presumptuous, but the third movement made a very solid impression with its great surges of tone. The audience saw Tschaikowski in sev- eral moods, but always as an old friend well-treated. Bohm's popular salon piece, Perpetual Motion, in- geniously orchestrated by Mr. Keursteiner, was exe- cuted by a contingent of thirty violins. Accompanied by the woodwinds, the corps gave a brief but vigor- ous exhibition of torrid fiddling. Alice Sherbon's gyrations to de Falla's Ritual Fire Dance secured the interest of theiaudience through their peculiar charm as well as their novelty. Manuel de Falla's composition received a carefully studied in- svllvnnlv terpretation at the hands of pianist Bob Glotzbach. Both the dance, which was Miss Sherbon's own crea- tion, and de Falla's music were derived from a primi- tive theme. Together they fairly reeked with pro- vocative atmosphere. The quartet from Rigoletto, as rendered bythe Moncrieff Singers, rates a listing on the big board. This operatic favorite was heard in one of the finest vocal blends of the year. The colorful soprano came from Alice Marie Smart, with a warm and lucid alto sung by Suzanne Schmidt and a sturdy baritone by Edgar Haage. E. M. Brach is possessed of the smooth- est tenor which has hit the Hill since last Octembru- ary. He will be remembered for the initial aria. Heinz Provost's recently popularized tone poem, Intermezzo, was enjoyed for its fluent tonal gradations and delicate shadings. S0 Wlaat?, a trickey terpsichore hilariously per- formed by danseuses Alices Sherbon and Melba Schill- ing, owes its existence to the creative powers of Shirley Kell. Miss Sherbon informs us that this dance re- fuses to take anything seriously, which isn't hard to believe. Its various phases have intriguing titles. Someone from abnormal psych might attempt a defi- nition of The Self-consciously-exotic-posseur or The heavy-be contemporary-if-it-kills. The accom- paniment, a series of rasps and squeaks in the ail- 'uaricezl rlirronarit style, was provided by an ensemble of novelty percusion and violins. The accompanists, sans coats, worked as hard through the lampponery and buffoonery as did the dancers. There may be slap- happier dances before the term is out. but don't bet much on it. The Overture to William Tell has the melodrama- tic possibilities of an unbridled orgy. The opening Andante featured john Ehrlich, a talented fellow with a mellow cello. Somewhat the tornadic rendition of the hunting scene suggested a certain radio serial, but the more furious passages were kept inside the fence. The Overture formed a spirited conclusion to a well- rounded program. nnunwuiju Mila HE annual Christmas Vespers were instituted eighteen years ago by Dean D. M. Swarthout to feature the best in concert music. They hold a unique place in the cultural life of the University and, indeed, of a large surrounding area. The first Vespers were presented to a small but appreciative audience in the old Fraser chapel. They have developed into aquasi- religious pageant of spectacular beauty, enlisting the efforts of the combined faculties of art and music.

The night is january 19, 1942. A scattered crowd has gathered in Hoch auditorium. A veil of expectancy hangs over the group, it muffles the conversation. On the stage the Kansas City Philharmonic Or- chestra is tuning up for the now belated concert. Suddenly the sounds from the stage stop. The audi- ence is hushed. At this moment, Karl Krueger, con- ductor of the orchestra, steps onto the stage. For an infinitisimally brief moment, utter silence reigns, then, a thunder of applause breaks forth. With quiet dignity, Krueger steps to the podium, facing about as he ascends. The THE .TAYHAWKER IIHHHHHMHNIE Others chat. Some read short stories. Some read novels. Yes, and some drop off into a troubled sleep. As the minutes crawl by, the symphony progresses. The first movement, calm and serene, gives way to the second, which is an adagio, a pronounced char- acteristic of Brahms. The third movement is calm to the point of being placid. The finale begins at once with its main subject. It too is peaceful, but in a restrained way. Great energy is apparent in the soft tones, and occasionally it breaks forth. Now, with a joyful fanfare, the end is reached. The audience stirs. Scattered applause begins, gains strength. It now swells the audi- audience is asked to rise and join in M torium. Krueger is called back once, the singing of the National Anthem. twice, three times, The audience is For approximately two minutes the auditorium swells with the patriotic strains. It is quiet again. The crowd is seated once more. The baton taps inaudibly. Music, gay and laughing, fills the room. It is the Carnival Overture by Antonin Dvorak. The crowd is caught in the streams of melody and is born joyfully along to the carnival. The carnival is as Carnivals are-noisy, happy, and thoroughly 'excit- ing. Then, in the middle portion, is heard a soft, a tender melody. This is said to suggest a pair of lovers who, far from the carnival, can hear only faintly the sounds that filter through to them from the murmer- ing distance. Now, without warning, the crowd is rushed back to the carnival. There, one last fling is had. The music stops. Krueger is facing the audi- ence. He bows gracefully and instructs the entire orchestra to follow suit. The applause reaches a crescendo then tapers, then dies. The second number has started. It is the Sym- phony Number Two by Johannes Brahms. Of this symphony it has been said, It is the sunniest, calm- est, most good-natured of all Brahm's symphonies. This may be true, but the audience would probably have rather heard something a little less heavy. The reaction to this number is manifest in a number of ways. Some individuals sit resignedly and listen. more than showing its appreciation. The applause gradually subsides. People file out to the vestibule. It is intermission. The crowd has returned, and again, Krueger is greeted with applause. The third number on the program is the glorious, tenderly beautiful Overture Fantasia, from Romeo and julieti' by Tschaikowski. This work is truly a classic. As much a classic as the Shakespearean tragedy on which it is based. The orchestra seems to lend itself utterly to its tender strains. The audience is obviously thrilled, for it sits in rapt attention. It would be interesting to know how many here are thinking of the comparatively recent popular song Our Love. For the theme of that song was derived from the love motif of this Tschaikowski Overture. The song is ended. This time the applause is al- most regrettable. It seems to break the spell that grips most of the audience. The final composition is Wagner's, Prelude and I.ovc+Death from 'Tristan and Isolde. The opera from which this is taken is based on a legend that has lived and been loved for several generations. It is the story of Tristan, a knight of the Round Table, and his tragic love for beautiful Isolde, the betrothed of his uncle, King Mark, K C ontinued on Page 2302 ,.,.,. HHH MIlSSNlH photo by Brock. T WASN 'T a case of the school bullies being cor- rected but of the teacher changing his mind. The teacher suspended three of the most rebellious mem- bers of his music class and then figured out just why they had rebelled. The teacher was our own Dr. W. Otto Miessner, head of the department of public school music. The boys had been suspended because they had called him Old Do-Re-Miessner and it all led to the organiza- tion of the first high-school band in the nation. That was back in 1905 and, to this day, he's known as the Daddy of the high-school band. The things that he did before and after this inci- dent take up an entire page in the National Cyclo- pedia of Biography and start with his being born in Huntingburg, Indiana, just sixteen miles from Abe Lincoln's boy-hood home and the grave of Nancy Hanks in the Nancy Hanks, Lincoln, State Park. If a student were to walk through the door to his office, room 35, Frank Strong hall he would find Dr. Miessner partially hidden behind a huge walnut case and sitting at his desk. A pipe would be part of the picture and probably a student would be revealing dif- ficulties to the man at the desk. Smooth-faced and gray-haired, Dr. Miessner presents an appearance which is entirely different from what one would ex- pect of an internationally known character. Maybe it's because he's just finished reading Sandburg's bi- ography of Lincoln, whom he has always admired. Before the little incident in his music class, Dr. Miessner received private instruction in Chicago, New York, and Berlin, Germany, studying singing and composition. Upon his return from his study abroad, he faced what he terms a crossroad Che's had a lot of themj and had to decide on his life work. Would he continue to write opera, symphonies, cantatas, and such, or would he choose a different line in music? He was induced by a close friend to go into music edu- cation. That friend was President Lotus D. Coffman of Minnesota University. As a music educator, he taught in high-schools, and spent eight years, 1914 to 1922, as director of the school of music, which he organized, at the Milwau- kee, Wisconsin, state teachers' college. From there he conducted summer schools at Northwestern Univers- ity and continued to teach by organizing the Miessner Institute of Music in Chicago to further his theories of class instruction in music. This is the key-note in the career of Dr. Miessner. He was determined that ex- pensive private instruction was not to hinder any child who cared to learn to play the piano or any other in- strument for that matter. He called his new system The Melody Way Method, to be taught to classes instead of individuals. The idea went nationwide and was advertised by the largest newspapers with full- page advertisements. Thousands of children and even adults received instruction free of charge through the leading music houses of each city. It spread to foreign countries and was translated across Europe and Asia from Sweden to Japan. It spread to the school systems of South Africa, and only recently has been adopted fC07Zli12Z!8d on Page 2341 178 THE JAYHAWKER HH. lllllilll E. Hlllll ORREST ALLEN never missed a free throw and the way he broke up the Buffalos' team work was immense. With a fractured elbow and his head still ringing from a crack on the cement received in the opening minutes of the first game, Allen was the defensive star of the final game of the world series of basketball. The preceding quotes are inserts from the Kansas City Starls writeup of Dr. E. C. Allen in the winter of 1905, who then, at the age of 19, was one of the standout cage performers in the country. Teaming up with his brother, Pete Allen, Phog's K.C.A.C. team became world champions by defeat- ing the Buffalo Germans in a two out of three game title series. Phog was the fanciest scorer on the K.C.A.C. five, registering 27 of his team's tallies, in one 31-30 win. In his sojourn as captain of the Kansas team, Phog set the individual point-getting record for K.U. scorers at 25 points. Howard Engleman chalked up 27 counters -against Oklahoma in 1939 to shatter Phog's record. Thirty-seven years later at the age of 56, Dr. Allen is pedaling a bicycle to his office on the Hill to lead the way in the wartime trend for physical condition- ing. Phog has organized a f1tters 1ighters class for the spring semester to make the campus conscious and thinking in terms of physical fitness. This winter marks the twenty-fifth year that Dr. Allen has guided Jayhawker basketball teams and served as an inspiration for the University of Kansas. Phog has come a long way since those days when he starred for the K.C.A.C. Blue Diamonds and Kansas. In those days, Phog would walk two miles a day to save 5c carfare. Nothing came easy to Phog. It was hard work combined with the Allen personal- ity that has made Dr. Allen the nationally known coach and fine character that he is today. Most people think of Dr. E. C. Phog Allen, as the dean of American basketball coaches, the winner of twenty-four titles in thirty-one years of intercol- legiate basketball conference competition. Forrest Allen is much more than this--he's a maker of men, a champion of physical fitness, and the ideal concep- tion of a coach. Chancellor Malott received a letter from V. G. Waltz, superintendent of the Michigan Union Cwhere the Kansas basketball team stayed on their Eastern tour last winterD. Waltz Said that the Kansas basketeers were the finest gentlemen athletes Michigan had ever taken cate of, adding that, I feel that Mr. Allen is doing something of far greater value than teaching your students how to play basket- ball. Incidentally, Phog requires a higher scho- lastic average to be maintained by his players in their studies than any other coach in the nation. While coaching at Warrensburg Teachers College, Mo., before the war, Dr. Allen received many offers for coaching positions but he remarked to his wife that I don't want to make any lateral moves. Some- day I want to go back to K.U. and M K build a l'Tommy Johnson stadium 5 After the war as athletic director, Phog,' built the present Memorial football stadium. When Phog came to Kansas as basketball coach, Dr. James A. Naismith, the inventor of the game, remarked to him you .can't coach basketball, you bloody beggar. You just play it. Dr. Allen received his nickname originally as Foghorn due to his gut- tural method of calling out bawl in umpiring base- ball. A club newspaper reporter misspelled the nick- name, making it Phog and that is how he got his unusual appellation he is know by so commonly today. The theory of Allen's Kansas system of basketball according to Phog- a man in an unguatded position passes to a teammate in an unguatded position and he then automatically moves to an unguatded posi- tion. As Phog says, It's simple. That's all there is to it? What does Phog say to his new squad each winter before they start the long hard road to the coveted Valley championship, which, since 1922, has been in rival hands only live times-in '28, '29, '30, 35, '39? It usually runs something to this effect, according to Dr. Allen. Last year's team was champions, not this year's. You haven't won yet, donit forget that. Every team will be gunning for us. That means each and everyone of you is going to have to pay a heavier price. It will be harder to stay in front. I, as coach, and you, as players, can't afford to let down or lose enthusiasm. We must work together WOW. Why and how does Phog make substitutions? Phog says, Ulf a game was played perfectly, the score would be O to 0. How- ever, a team is like a machine. When a machine bogs down, some internal part is not func- tioning properly. A team is similiar. When the team is not functioning to its fullest ex- tent, I look for the weak link and try to correct it. Dr. Allen picks his men on leadership and intelligence, grit and courage. Phog says, A Kansas ball player must also be versatile and ingenious. Allen teaches his teams to play fair for as Phog says, The game of basketball is like the game of life. To achieve greatest success, you must play fairly. A quick glance at Dr. Al1en's life and one sees a long line of achievements and services. In addition to his long reign as varsity basketball coach, he was athletic director at Kansas for 1 8 years, 1919-1957. He has been director of physical education for the last 14 years. He has been head of the National Basketball Rules Committee. But most of all, he has been the back- bone of the University of Kansas. Everything he has done, has been in terms of helping the University. Phog is a tireless worker, a man of action with many irons in the fire, in addition to his coaching and directing capacities, one night he is making a speech to some high school team's banquet, and then the next day, he is thinking of some way to give the students better entertainment. He never stops to rest, works from early until late, and yet with all this, never a call or an athlete knocks unanswered at his door. Dr. Allen's hobbies are physical fitness and golf. Two of the finest policies of Phog, in relation to his varsity cagemen, is his handling of awarding letters and cutting players off his squad. Any man who comes out for Jayhawk basketball for three years, photo by Yarnell. whether he plays or not, get a letter. No man, how- ever bad he is, gets cut off Dr. Allen's squad. Phog has not only developed superb teams but he has also developed fine teachers who are carrying out his teachings with telling effects. John Bunn, now Dean of Men at Stanford, was a prize Allen pupil and as a coach at Stanford a few years back, rang up a couple of Pacific Coast titles, with the immortal Hank Luisetti as his shining star. Other proteges of Dr. Allen are Louis Menze, Iowa State, Frosty,' Cox, Colorado, and Dutch Lonberg, Northwestern. Menze has grabbed two Big Six titles in the last six years at Ames, while Cox has gathered five Rocky Mountain titles in an eight year stay at Boulder. The honor roll of stellar K. U. cage stars under the Allen regime is too long to enumerate. Two of his best were his sons, Bob and Mit. Bob was a Phi Beta Kappa in school, besides rating All-American honors fCo1zti1zued on Page 228 Q 180 THE JAYHAWKER . HNH HIS 2hlH SHISHN E OUGHT to play better ball in the last half of the conference schedule, as we should gain valuable experience from our next five games, all non-conference battles Qlowa, DePaul, Wichita, Great Lakes, Creightonj, remarked Dr. Forrest C. Allen in commenting on Kansas's championship hopes. Dr. Allen added, 'lI'll be tickled to death if we even tie for the title. As the first semester rolled to a close, the Kansas Jayhawkers, nine times Big Six title holders in the 13 years of the conferences existence, were dead- locked in a first place tie with Bruce Drake's Okla- homa Sooners with four wins and one loss apiece. Phog Allen's boys have tritunphed in six of their first seven contests, the solitary defeat coming at the hands of Iowa State at Amesz dafglwi Kmaqa Leading the way in the charge of the Crimson- Blue cagers are three great scorers, Charlie Black, john Buescher, and Ralph Miller. For the first half of the season, sophomore sensation Black tops the conference scorers with an average of 15.8, having a total of 69 points. John Thin Man Buescher and Ralph Miller, of football fame, share fourth place in the league's point-getting list, each having a 10.4 average. Opening the season with December victories over Denver at Lawrence and Bethel College at Newton, the Jayhawks trounced Oklahoma, Missouri, and Ne- braska in rapid succession, dropped a tough battle to Iowa State, and bounced back to squeeze out an over- time scramble from Kansas State. After losing to Kansas, Oklahoma edged out two wins from Kansas State by close scores, walloped an up and coming Missouri outfit, and then proved too rugged for the Iowa State Cyclones, K.U.'s conquerors. Dr. Allen, commencing his twenty-fifth year of coaching at Kansas, is working as hard as ever to produce a championship. Dr. Allen's continuous string of superb cage teams over so many years has caused the student body to take the team too much for granted. However, in a 31-year background of tutoring college basketball teams C17 titles in 24 years at Kansasj, Phog has won 531 games, and been loser in 109 contests. This record gives him a winning percentage of .829, a mark unmatched by any collegiate coach in any sport in the United States today. Glancing over his boys' respective opponents, Phog says, Oklahoma has the best chance for the title at the present moment. Without Gerald Tucker, they have had a pair of 6 foot 4 inch players, Dick Reich and Paul Heap, who have really developed. This second semester, with Tucker in the lineup, O.U. will be tougher. However, our boys havent hit their peak yet, and their fundamentals should improve. We should be well-seasoned by the time we meet a Tuckerized Sooner five at Norman. ' According to Dr. Allen, the rest of the Big Six appears potent and dangerous. Iowa State still has an outside chance, Missouri will be much tougher with Herbie Gregg, Kansas State always rates high, MILLER EVANS sutscusn BLACK photo: by Jackson. and Nebraska stands as an in and outerf' sum- marized Phog. As for our team, Miller's gen- eralship is splendid, Evans is coming along by leaps and bounds, Black should continue to improve, and Buescher may go like a house afire the remainder of the season. Sollenberger, Walker, johnson, Kissell, Ettinger, Hunter, Hall, Turner, and Ballard are showing good progress. In the season's annual warmup game for the var- sity against the frosh, son Mit's yearling charges fell before father Forresr's lads by a count of 25 to 17. The varsity performed without the services of foot- ballers Ralph Miller, Ray Evans, and Don Ettinger. Game stars for the upperclassmen were sophomore Max Kissell and letterman Hutch Walker. The game's high scorer was first year man Otto Snell- bacher with three goals and two free tosses. Charlie Black stole a pass to score in the last 35 seconds of Hoch Auditoriunfs season opener against Denver to win the ball game 36 to 35. Kansas gained an early lead, only to let the underrated Denver Pioneers get the upper hand in the last half. A rally led by sophomore Ballard and Black enabled the Jayhawks to nose their way to triumph. Two nights later in a game which dedicated the new Newton auditorium, Kansas smothered a weak Bethel College five 61 to 28. Ballard, Buescher, and Hall lead the scoring parade with 15, 11, and 10 points respectively. Oddity of the game occurred when Black tallied a goal for Bethel. The officials had lined up the two centers in the wrong direction at the start of the second half. Duplicating the results of the Oklahoma game two years ago in Hoch C46-263, a whirlwind band of Kansans with Black at the helm, poured it on Drake's Sooners to the tune of 54 to 32 in the conference opener. The Kansas fans saw Black set the individual high scoring mark for the current season by plunking through 10 field goals and 5 free throws, two points under the school record of 27 held by Howard Engle- man. Miller and Buescher aided Black in getting points, by registering 11 and 10 counters. In their next contest, with John Buescher pacing the attack of the Jayhawks with his deadeye long swishers, Kansas moved to an early lead and was never threatened in ringing up a 48 to 34 verdict over Missouri. Buescher gathered seven baskets and a charity toss for high scoring honors. Other standouts were Evans on defense, Sollenberger on rebounds, and Miller on passing plays. pholor by Bnmine SOLLENBERGER HALL Maintaining their swift pace, the Allen cagers crushed a here-to-fore unbeaten Nebraska team by the one-sided count of 51 to 32 with Miller and Black leading the onslaught. Miller starred on both offense and defense while Black piled up 17 points to main- tain his high scoring pace. The game was exceed- ingly rough with fifteen fouls being called against the Jayhawks. ' Unbeaten in eight previous starts, the Iowa State Cyclones tangled with the lads from Mt. Oread in Ames and emerged winners by a count of 45 to 41. Al Budolfson, Cyclone captain, was too hot for K.U., providing the margin of victory by his excellent play. Buescher and Hall sparkled for Kansas in defeat. Iowa State followed their triumph over K.U. with succes- sive losses to Missouri and Oklahoma. With Cappy Miller displaying the form which made him an all-conference selection in 1939, the Jayhawks managed to edge out Kansas State in the most thrilling game of the season thus far, 46 to 44 in an overtime session. Trailing by four points with three minutes to play, Miller counted twice, Hunter and Turner once each to match aggie Horacek's goals, knotting the regular playing time score at 42-all. Miller looped in a one-handed overhead shot for the nrst extra period talley but Holman of K-State matched it with a jump shot from the side. Then with two minutes remaining in the overtime session, Buescher sneaked in for a set-up and the winning goal. Not entirely exhausted with finals, the Kansans entrained the last day of this hectic week on a three- game six-day basketball trip that included stops at Iowa City, Iowa, Chicago, Illinois, and Wichita, Kansas. In the first game of the excursion, Iowa University Of the Big Ten conference gave the travelers from JoHNsoN HUNTER Lawrence a convincing scare before losing 55 to 51. Exhibiting a firebrand offense which the Jayhawks couldn't cope with during the first half, the lowans moved in front by a score of 29 to 25. With sparkling Ralph Miller adapting Iowa's slambang tactics, Kan- sas grabbed the lead and held it for the remainder of the contest. Aiding Miller was T. P. Hunter whose final two free tosses proved to be the deciding margin of victory. Turning in their best game of the season, The Allenmen smashed a vaunted DePaul team to defeat by the one-sided count of 46 to 26. Only a week prior to their loss to Kansas, DePaul had edged out a great Long Island University five 44 to 43. Four Jayhawkers-Charlie Black, Ralph Miller, John Buescher, and Ray Evans paced the Crimson-Blue scoring list, registering all but two of the 46 points. With the Chanute Comet, Ralph Cappy Miller on the highest scoring splurge of his collegiate career, Kansas swamped the Wichita Wheatshockers 56 to 57 in the final game of the road trip. Miller found the hoop for 14 goals and two charity throws, an amazing total of 30 points. Miller's new mark smashed the previous jayhawker record of 27 points, set by Howard Engleman against Oklahoma in 1939. With a record of nine wins in ten starts, the Kan- sas quintet clashed with the Great Lakes Naval train- ing station five in Kansas City's beautiful Municipal Auditorium. The Navy team, with six former All- Americans and seven past all-conference stars on its squad of 13, chalked up triumph No. 20 in 23 games by the decisive total of 53 tallies to Kansas's 37. Standouts for Phog Allen's beaten five were T. P. Hunter and Ray Evans. The Navy outfit was too uhoff' connecting on 40 per cent of their shots. A FEBRUARY 1942 133 Hlll lliUINll ll HE North Carolina Legislature passed a joint resolution on March 12, 1941, asking that a world federation be established. Not an earth-shaking event, true, but a faith prophecy that after this war a peace may be established, and not just a bloody armistice. Why are we fighting? What are our peace aims? Perhaps it is naive to sincerely plan or hope for a constructive peace, but, as the Englishman said, we in America have more leisure time than any of the Europeans now, we have a better perspective, and, most important of all, we are going to write the peace. If the United Nations win the war Cand the Russian bear is not hibernating this winterj , the peace should be written in Washington, D. C. The Kansas wheat- farmer is going to be an important world figure when the reconstruction begins. If he has a small isola- tionist point of view, the mirrors trick of Versailles may be repeated. If he has a broad, well-informed point of view, the present crop of war babies may grow into maturity without a gruesome anniversary. The college student of today and now should have an impressive role, also. He will have done the fighting, he will have been a leader both in the trenches and on the industrial front. What will your point of view be? And it is not day dreaming to make plans for peace during the war. When the peace con- ference is begun, it will be too late-either to form a point of view, or to make your point of view felt in Washington. It is a difhcult problem to approach. But men of varying brilliancy are helpfully proposing plans for world reconstruction. We may weigh and compare, prune and graft until we arrive at a program which deserves our support. And all the time, it must be remembered and emphasized that the American peo- ple will play a tremendous part in the peace-making. The peace that the President signs will be greatly affected, perhaps, even created in its main outline, by our public opinion. And after the treaty is signed, it must be ratified by our Senate. Before we consider post-Wat programs, what will we have to reconstruct, and to reconstruct with, after wil Mini the War? Liabilities-Something like 150,000,000 war workers and men in uniforms will be without jobs in Europe and America alone. The dead armv of war, a gigantic debt, will touch every nation. Another old standby will be the prospect of a gold- brick boom, and the repentant depression. On the other hand, we will have the assets of a good labor supply Ctoo good some people seem to thinkjg an abundance of raw materials, and intelligence-1et's hope. These factors should be kept in mind when we evaluate .peace plans. Now, what important programs of reconstruction are being pushed? I want to describe three, take your choice. They are: strong collective security , Union Now, and Federal union in Europe leading to world union. CThe annihilation program calling for mass murder of Germans, japanese, and Italians after the war, which has a few street-corner orators support- ing it, is not held, I hope, by any persons responsible for their own actions. The japanese in Nanking and the Nazis in Poland have been the only outstanding supporters of this simple and unbeautiful theory.D Many persons wish to return to the collective security of the League of N ations-but a collective security with teeth. The United Nations would police the world after the War, administer the world's col- onies, arbitrate its disputes. Hints of such a program may be found in the Atlantic Charter signed by Roosevelt and Churchill in August of last year. Call- ing for a world police force until the establishment of a wider and permanent system of general security, for freedom of the seas, for equal access by all states to the raw materials of the world, the Charter is a step in the right direction. It is an attempt to restrain militant nationalism, a plea for social security. But it does not given procedures for economic reconstruc- tion after the war. The war debt, unemployment, and the trade depression are not provided for. The old collective security with or without teeth seems to overlook the basis of modern war and peace- economics.

A native son of each, Chancellor Deane W. Malott likes both, and the three together produce a situation which is thoroughly suitable-to Kansas, to her University, and to the Chancellor. Mr. Malott is, above all, amiable. He likes people and makes a point of meeting them on their own ground. His sense of humor is hair-triggered, and explodes, more often than not, into hearty, resonant laughter. When a problem faces him, he can tackle it with- out indecision or hesitation. He seems to know every minute precisely what he is going to do or say the next. He claims, of course, that he does not know, but a confidence born of experience and the duties of leadership is minutely infused into his personality. 1 Chancellor Malott was born in Abilene, Kansas., U1 1398, and lived there until he came to KU. in 1917. While on the Hill, he participated in so many eamazazjfwaazz photo by Iackron. activities that he claims he couldnt have been a good student. As a journalist, he was a member of the Quill Club, Sigma Delta Chi, honorary journalism frater- nity, the University Daily Kansan board, and once was circulation manager of the Kansan. As an orator, he belonged to Delta Sigma Rho, debate fraternity, and the University debate team. As a dramatist, he took part in a Hill musical comedy and the senior play. As a musician, he sang in the University glee club. All this, plus membership in Beta Theta Pi social fraternity, and Alpha Kappa Psi business fraternity, gives a portrait of the typical B.M.O.C, at any university. Whether Mr. Malott was a good student or not depends on individual standards. His college tran- script shows more A's than Bls. He earned enough hours to major in English, economics, or journalism, and is not quite sure which one actually was his fC071li7ZZl6d on Page 230j aa aa Gaiam 201 Ellllll HE FIRST thing a would-be college man learns upon arriving in Lawrence Cwith the possible reservation for his learning that all landladies and fraternity men are fine peopleb is that a man is not a college man until he has and smokes a pipe. Eventually, even the greenest school-going farm- hand will learn that Frank Strong hall and the Ad building are one and the same, that the Barrel Inn is Brick's basement rather than a term describing the way students go to class, that pay telephones won't give change when you insert a two-bit piece, and that the Tepee is not at Haskell Indian Institute. But the fact that the terms college man and pipe aa ,aaa 0420... smoker are synonomous is forcefu-lly presented to our aspiring Young America the first time he saunters across Ye Olde Mounte Otead. Standard collegiate pipe is the straight stem, mooch- ing bowl variety, but the possession of any one of a hundred different species of hod will merit the owner a classification as College Man. There are carved pipes, pipes with filters and pipes without filters, chest-warmers, Sherlock Holmes pipes, Turkish pipes, Zombie pipes, water-cooled pipes that sit on the floor while you smoke them, and gas pipes. The last- mentioned variety, however, is not in common use as a collegiate smoking pipe. - One University man recently invested in a weed burner of the water-cooled type and determined to mystify his roommate. Setting the business end of his new pipe under his chair, Pete threaded the smoke- tube up through his shirt, through his shirt sleeve, and into his hand. Then he sat quietly reading his English literature, calmly pulling on the concealed pipe stem. Roommate entered and went on about his usual coat-removing procedure. Eventually he noticed the smoke, originating somewhere in front of Pete and curling up above his head. 'Mate looked closer, almost dashed to the telephone to call a hook and ladder, then discovered the new fog maker under Pete's chair. 5 Tobaccos provide a held almost as fertile as that THE JAYHAWKER IIS H PIN of pipes for originality and personality display. Every pipe smoker has at least a favorite brand of tobacco, and most of them have their own personal mixture of the weed. One genuine College Man says, in true tobacco advertisement form, I tried every brand of pipe tobacco and never found one that satisfied me until one day when I was talking to an old friend of mine, name of Fish Salmon. He told me to try some of his private blend and I did. It was fine. Delicate aroma, pungent taste, no bite, and cool burning. I got the formula from old Fish and have been smoking that mixture ever since. The blend he used sounds a bit unusual, but probably is typical of any pipe smok- 6 er's personal blend. You might as ' well have the benefit of this recipe for what Fish', calls Piping Paradise. It's one can of Stock Street, one of Sir Gallahad, a ten cent tin of Prince Elmer, one can of Skunk's Delight, .and a half-pound of War Admiral. Mix up a batch some- time. Fish guarantees that you have never tasted anything like it before. Collections are the rule rather than the exception with pipe smokers. Hod burners are not like hunters, who always have an old faithful 12-guage shotgun or a trusty .22 rifle which they use every time they go hunting. Pipe smokers universally agree that for best results a pipe should not be burned more than once a week, nor more than one or two bowlfuls in succession. Only by smoking a pipe once, then giving it a week'serest, can a man properly break- in and mellow his pipe, Broken pipes, many of the chest warmer and Sherlock Holmes varieties, litter every College Man's Study room. While straight-stemmed mooching-bowl pipes are smart accessories on the campus, chest- Wafmeff are lust as appropriate in the den. Time- worn pipes acquire personalities as distinct as house- hold pets, and when one is broken, discarding it is ivefl' bit as Painful HS disposing of old Rover after e takes the colic. Consequently our C.M.'s pipe collection often contains more broken pipes than FEBRUARY 1942 serviceable ones. The matter of cake, that nicotinous tar-carbon lining which accumulates in a pipe as it is used, pro- vides a question on which there are as many differ- ent opinions as there are pipes. S o m e smokers maintain that the cake should never be cleaned outg some say that it should be only trimmed, keeping it at a constant thicknessg some say that a pipe should be freed of this lining periodically, others uphold the old in- stitution of daily cleaning. Proponents of the first theory claim that not only does the accumulating cake make the pipe burn cooler and with a better flavor, but that after a hod acquires cake of a certain thickness it is more eco- nomical to operate - burning on no more than its reputation. Trimmers of the cake hold that only by keeping the tar-carbon layer at a uniform thick- ness can a smoker expect to get a uniform perform- ance from his pipe. Those who adhere to the daily and w e e k l y cleaning plans are none other than men with slight old-maid characteristics-believers in the old philosophy that cleanliness is next to Godliness. E v e n pipe manufacturers differ in their advice to buyers as to the care of pipes. Some Say cake 'er up and others say clean 'er out. It's a personal problem- one of those weighty de- ,Z 1 0 Iaw url? tl s Qltsl Ga Rf f X Z X. X WM'- nib' Q. L... rw.. Y I 4 205 cisions a man must make in order to enjoy the hner things in life. Another astonishing fact, known only to pipe smokers and their inti- mate associates: not all men who carry pipes in their m o u t h s smoke them! Yes indeed, 'tis so. This fact falls directly in line with the recent find- ings of scientists who did research on gum - chew- ing. They found that con- centration is improved as much as 50 per cent by the simple expedient of chewing gum. Pipe smok- ers just chew pipe stems instead of gum, the prin- ciple still works. Chewing releases energy, and gives those pent-up emotions and tensions an outlet. Many a studying College Man is lost without his pipe, whether his tobacco supply is full or ex- hausted. Aside from its practical use, the pipe also offers a legitimate ticket to the world of dreams. Tolstoy may have belittled the use of tobacco, but many of the greatest thoughts and visions of college men pour out in contented puffs of smoke. In closing, let us all bow our heads and offer this little ditty in prayer: Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul will keep, If I should die I will not gripe If in lieu of harp I get a pipe.

Bob White: After graduation a civil service job, preferably in foreign service, will suit Bob perfectly, that is, after Uncle Sam gets through with me in other fields. Anti-New Deal Bob likes to dress conservatively, to eat lots of food, and to see girls with their hair long and flowing. In women, Bob considers personality and ability to fit into every occasion of prime importance and places an accent on having fun with them, instead of taking them seriously.

This statement may carry a jolt for the egoist who styles himself a self-made man. Earning an education in an institution of higher learn- ing has ceased to be an accomplishment of the boy who made good alone, and has become the accepted adjunct to securing an education by almost half of the university students. The joke-book edition of the working college stu- dent-a bald headed lad with a limp, selling maga- zine subscriptions, does not exist today. The average working student on the K.U. campus pounds a type- writer, jerks sodas, lires furnaces, tutors French, or waits tables. You might be surprised at a few of the jobs students do have. One of the most remunerative student jobs is rooting a horn in a hill dance band. The musicians are- all union members, and may be entirely self-supporting. Good typists earn money by typing masters' theses and incidental themes. When the end of the semester approaches, majors tutor in zoology, mathematics, chemistry, and languages, and many even do a little ghost writing. The employ- ment oflice has been informed that a student may have his room for piano lessions in return, and the same offer has been made for violin lessons. One student is earning his room-rent by tutoring Spanish. Many students have N. Y. A. jobs in the various departments, and must have good scholastic averages in order to keep them. Other students work in the University library or in one of its branches, and a number work in the various administrative oHices. One engineering student is employed by the Kansas Electric Power Company as a substation operator. When you go shopping downtown, the girl at the hosiery counter may be the coed who sits next to you in rhetoric, or the shoe salesman may be the legal eagle who whistles at you from the law school steps every morning. In order to get a better view of the working col- lege student, one might examine a specimen from HE JAYHAWKER any QAM Uacmicm a common species-the jelly-joint waiters. A waiter in a hill hangout works three or four hours a day for his meals, and is paid by the hour for his overtime- the average boy makes enough to pay his room rent every month with a little left over for stamps. The beginner at this job must do his share of dish-washing, floor-waxing, and silver-polishing as well as his prin- cipal job of fountain man. He then moves to the other side of the fountain, and when a waiter yells shoot one right or left, he puts up a coke of the appro- priate flavor. Now a fountaineer has more to do than pull the handle on a coke1' machine. He must know how to make good simple syrup, how to mix the various concentrates properly, how to make the favor- ite fountain dishes, how to take care of his fountain mechanically, and he must know something of food costs and the margin of profit. If our typical waiter gets a little more experience, he may be given the job of making sandwiches and short orders. He will probably be chosen for this job because he is quick, neat, tends to business, and can remember orders. Very nervous boys are at a dis- advantage here because they may lose track of their orders in a rush, and they are more likely to be in- jured when working near hot griddles, and with sharp knives. A good sandwich man must please the customers with his orders, and at the same time, try to save the jernt from insolvency. A student job of this type has advantages as well as certain dis- advantages. The hours spent working are those meal times and evenings which interfere least with class schedules. Such a job enables the student to save the cash otherwise spent for meals-his largest expense, and even provides an opportunity for him to make acquaintances. The typical waiter may have to rise a little early for the best beauty sleep, and he may retire a little late on party nights, but these inconveniences are more than outweighed by his desire for an education. The author has observed, during the past century or so at K.U., that although students Cam their learnin' in many ways, the advantages enjoyed by 11N 1 our friend, the typical waiter, are common to most of the working students. The working student is always faced with the problem of getting ready cash for fees and books, as he must get it from his parents, borrow it, or save it from a summer job. Sometimes it seems like the semesters begin every week. The new student faces the task of correlating working hours with classes and study periods, and frequently has to stop and decide whether he is working in order to go to school, or is merely going to school in order to work. The difficulty here is in avoiding the temptation to make more money by sacrificing studies. In solving prob- lems like these, it is beneficial to have the advice of some experienced person. Whether a student works on a soda fountain tends a furnace, trundles a wheelbarrow, or beats a typewriter, he is gaining practical experience in some line that will make him more able to make a living. The very fact that his well-being is dependent upon his own efforts will make him more appreciative. of the value of money and of the education he is gain- ing for himself. The working student learns to get along with fellow workers and employers before he leaves school, and he instills in himself a feeling of self confidence and independence that he will never lose. Undoubtedly the student who must work all or even part of his way through school misses some of the elements that go to make up a college education. With only twenty-four hours a day it is impossible for anyone to do everything that he wants to do. How- ever, the working students makes his sacrinces and gains a self reliance in its place which is something that no one can take away from him. The rough road to success is not the only one, and just because some of our nation's great have had to get up at 4 a.m. to milk ten cows, and then walk a mile barefooted through the snow to school does not mean that that is the only way, or even that all men who do it will be successful. If a student has no other way to continue his education, he will probably find his way will increase his self-respect and beneht him materially in other ways. The examples of men who have earned their edu- cations are legion, and a recital of them here would be superfluous. Yet, the very number of their names should justify some conclusion, and a twentieth- Century Aesop would probably say that even in this Clay of taylor-mades, the fellows who have the umakinsi' can roll their own. 7 iiMlHIEINlI EN! running up and down again . . . pound- ing their paths from Bell Memorial hospital, to the Children's Pavilion, down to Eleanor Taylor hospital, back to Hixon Laboratory for Medical Re- search, over to the Negro Ward, across to the Clinical building, under the sun and the moon, and veering away from the nurses' home. So, we confused morons become more confused and non-amused trying to get a bird's eye view of medical students and their activities at all this-the University of Kansas Medical School in Kansas City. Being a med really doesn't amount to so very much-if you haven't anything else to do for the rest of your life. The journey from Lawrence to Kansas City involves four and one-half years Cif you're luckyb after which time the persevering guys, and an oc- casional gal, learn the mean- ing, in and out-backwards and forwards, of all the things they've been studying. Specifically, the University of Kansas hospital in K.C. is an intimate part of the K.U. Med School, for it exists as a laboratory for medical lec- tures, just as labs supplement a chemistry lecture in the College. Doctors on the hos- pital staff lecture about dis- eases, ailments, and afilictions to the students. Whereupon they show the symptoms, re- sults of diseases and the like upon actual patients. The students see and recognize the trouble Cusuallyj and help THE JAYHAWKER l' 'lil' .Ll diagnose the case. However, never do these students work on the patients themselves, they merely write up the case histories, make examinations, and watch the course of treatment administered by the doctors in charge. A Med has been compared to a mechanic who rides along with the driver in an auto race, get- ting all he can from the experience and helping, but ,, . . , ., ,, ,, never having any responsibil- . - A ity. Hmmmmmm. It seems the latter outfit would get 1 there quicker though. Oh I well, their insurance would cost more! To get into the hospital wherein the students have these labs, and to see these remarkable structures which have been made possible through state appropriations and many friends both known and unknown.. . . Bell Me- morial hospital is the large entrance building in which the administration depart- ment is contained. This in- cludes besides many others, the offices of Dean H. R. Wahl, superintendent, and Dr. A. H. Hinshaw, assistant superintendent. Also on the fourth floor is obstetrics and surgery, while the rest of the building is devoted to private patients of the doctors' on the hospital staff. Students have nothing to do with this latter section. The second building, con- nected by a corridor which includes a complete and new X-ray department, contains the Children's P a vi l io n. There, typically one might find a little brown-eyed boy with one leg in a com- plicated and heavy metal apparatus . . . a small girl with both legs in casts, trying to walk from a student nurse to an interne . . . babies shut up in quarantine quarters . . . children lying quietly, victims of many kinds of diseases . . . a 3-year-old boy trotting down the hall to the playroom made especially for con- valescing children. Sunshine, flowers, ivy, toys, play furniture, fuzzy toy animals lend an atmosphere of Get Well Quick to the room at the end of the corridor. On these walls are oil murals, painted by K.U.'s Marjorie Whitney, which depict such renowned personages as Puss in Boots, jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, and Hansel and Gretel. These have been done for the children-and medical students - who need mental relaxation. There is little doubt who needs the latter most. Taylor hospital is the tuberculosis unit in which about 40 patients may be cared for at once. It is dedi- cated to Eleanor Taylor, the wife of Dr. Simeon Bell who made much of this hospital possible by his dona- tions. The building is located on the grounds of the old hospital. Hixon Laboratory, a series of test tubes and queer- shaped fol-de-rol, is another new structure which was given for experimental research by Dr. and Mrs. Logan Clendening. Located here too is the office of Dr. Clendening, which contains one of the most com- plete and best libraries of the history of medicine in the United States. Only one course, Medical History taught by Dr. Clendening, is offered in this building. And home was never like this, a classroom with soft, conducive-to-sleep, green-cushioned seats-slick en- vironment and a blessing to any student. One draw- back-no footstools. Eaton ward is one of the new structures east of the Children's Pavilion used en- tirely for negroes. There are a few negro nurses and a negro student at present who work only in these quarters. Equipment in this section is as good as that anywhere else in the hospital. The Clinical building, a new four-story brick struc- ture, offers splendid oppor- tunities to those charity pa- tients who cannot afford to pay a private doctor. It is pbolof by Iuckrmz. sometimes called the Out-Patient division for patients who come back and forth for treatments. Patients receive the very best care here, but appointments are impossible. Each must wait his or her turn. The building itself includes a drug room, which operates for the entire hospital labs, a large lecture room, waiting and consultation rooms, dental clinic, social service rooms, and diagnosis rooms. Students have an excellent opportunity to study and examine pa- tients under competent supervision. Attendance in this dispensary Varies from 65,000 to 75,000 visits a year. Especially of interest here is a typical class in clinic, conducted at times by Dr. Angle, where something like 70 men and 7 women convene in a big audi- torium-gosh, such black wavy hair, gleaming white teeth, eyes like pools of clear water, broad shoulders, stature like the Greek god Apollo that guy on the fContinued on Page 2332 gf. fn-- ,f .0 . 42 h- , - ff vfl U 1' I ff 1 fu fi ' ...Q .us- .,., pf, vm' 1 .r ,, ,ff Q5 ,.. , 'H .. . ., ,, , f- , F . ,,,'4 A s ' .J !,f ,: T, , 4 -V' ,Q Y 1 , .

Ax. .L X, '15 ililjvuuus UNDREDS of years ago, before most of you were even born, there was a great kingdom nestled indefinitely somewhere in the hole called Europe. It seems the queen of this mighty country was rather a smooth dish as it were. Further, being a true representative of her sex, she wasn't oblivious of this fact. But this at last grew old. She was dissatisfied. Then when things seemed darkest a veritable quickie of an idea struck her. She summoned the plumber, one of the local carpenters, and the radio repairman. This competent trio went to work at once, and in a very short time had rigged up one of the greatest recorded ego inflaters in history. It was a simple device, consisting of a mirror, an electric eye, and a small phonograph. The queen would walk up to this gadget and say- Tell me, glass, tell me true! Of all the ladies in the land, Who is the fairest? Tell me whof' Then she'd step closer to give the mirror a good look. In so doing she'd step into the beam of the electric eye. This caused the phonograph to start playing, and it always answered- Thou, queen, art the fairest in all the land. Obviously this was a slick arrangement, and the queen was very well pleased. Everything went along in fine fashion for a long time. Then one fateful day a strange thing occurred. The queen slipped up to the mirror, and sprang the old question. Then came the shock. The mirror answered- Thou, oh queen, art fair and beauteous to see! But Snow White is lovelier far than thee. What the hell, stammered the queen. She jerked the mirror aside, and changed the needle on the phonograph. Then sprang the ques- tion again. The same crushing result ensued. The queen was righteously furious. She stormed out of the room in search of one of her yes men. Find- ing one she commenced questioning him about Snow White. 213 MUHlHNVlHSIIlN AQSQQMCUL EMM Snow White, oh yeah, she's that little frill that launders the floors around here, your majesty. Oh! Well, Harold, I have a function for you. Yes, your majesty. Harold, I want you to rub this Snow White out. See? Okay, your majesty. Thus ended the terse conversation that so compli- cated things for our heroine, but things really weren't so bad after all. As might be expected, Harold couldn't go through with it. At the crucial moment he got poultry-hearted and decided not to extermi- nate her. There was more than the milk of human kindness motivating this action, however, because as it was Harold rather admired this little scrub girl, who looked so much like Hedy Lamarr, and he didn't exactly want to see her six feet under, pushing up. So, instead of taking Snow White for a ride, he took her for a walk, and told her all about the not too friendly queen. Then he turned to her, and with soulful eyes murmured, twenty-three skidoof' Snow White walked for a long time through a very scary forest. Finally, dog-tired, she reached a hotel, I mean a cottage. She entered without knock- ing, because she was too tired to raise her arm. The cottage was uninhabitated, so Snow White just made herself at home. Soon she fell fast asleep. By and by the owners of the flat came home. The owners were a queer group-seven midgets interested in gold prospecting. They had worked a gold mine for years and had salted away plenty of sheckles. Well, the little guys didn't see our heroine at first, but they did see that something was amiss. So a few inconsequential questions were exchanged before the evening poker game was started. Then, when one of the little runts was looking for the cards he came upon Snow White. Zowie! Hey, guys, get a load of thislv The other six midgets tore over to the bed. Their K C ontinued on Page 2302 THE JAYHAWKER WIVIIN ni MHHVINi ' HIS time you do the School of Engineering, said the editor in foot-on-desk, pipe-in-mouth splendor. Then he added with a smile, Make it in- teresting, if tlmfr p0.r.fible! 'If that's possiblej I thought as I left the ofhce, but why shouldnit it be possible? Don't 650 stu- dents, one man out of every four on the hill, find engineering the most fascinating and interesting thin g h e r e ? Don't they work, and study, and analyse, and write long technical re- ports, and often ar- tend classes thirty hours a week to mas- ter their profession? Is anyone more earn- est? Does anyone take more pride in his work than the engi- neer? And, if this thing called the School of Engineer- ing means that much to him, maybe even we could find some- thing of interest theref' Anyway welll find outf' I decided and wandered down Oread toward the imposing ivy-covered home of the slip-stick, Marvin Hall. I climbed the tall stone steps, unembarrassed by the stares of engineers who in more Clement weather are to be found en- sconced there, entered the green-tinted interior, and soon found myself outside the Dean's office. He ought to know some interesting things about his school. Dean J. J. jakosky did! I asked him first what the Engineering School meant, why it was significant, why important to the outsider. A young and energetic as new flfakm administrator, one of the busiest ,men on the campus, he answered to the point: Our purpose is to train young men, first to better serve society, second to make themselves a livingf, Simple words, but be- hind them lay a fascinating story of a great school, which I was soon to uncover. I learned first about some of its back- ground, found out that the engineering school has its roots as far back as the begin- ning of the Univer- sity, that out of the first class Cof fourj to graduate in 1875, twenty-five per cent were engineers. En- gineeringis e a r ly development was mainly dependent on the railroad boom, but then came electric lights and in 1887 an electrical course. In 1891, engineering be- came a separate M school with Dean F. O. Marvin as its head. Soon after followed mechanical, mining, and architec- tural departments. Today, with greatly expanded facilities, there are eleven departments and a faculty of forty. But I learned more than history, found out that now, in 1942, the University of Kansas School of Engineering is taking a leading role in defense. Every department is rushing men into vital industries -trained and skilled men who, in order that they may complete their preparation, are deferred from the draft while in school. But more must be had! The country is calling for 50,000 engineers, while Only' 12,000 graduate each year. To fill this gap, FEBRUARY 1942 defense training courses have been set up all over Kansas, training more than 5,600 men a year in fundamental skills. Visible proof is the machinists course running night and day in Fowler shops. Only four states in the nation lead Kansas in enrollment in defense courses. Less spectacular but of great importance is the development work in Kansas industries being carried on under the supervision of the engineering school and the Geological Survey. From Prof. E. A. Stephen- son, head of miningjmetallurgical, and petroleum engineering, I heard an interesting story of research on the proper rate of withdrawal of oil and of even more extensive Qif more expensiveb geophysical in- vestigations, using all known methods to study zinc and lead deposits in the Tri-State area. Another im- portant service of the School is giving daily counsel and help to defense authorities and particularly to small manufacturers throughout the state who lack their own specialists. In addition to all this, of course, is the C.A.A. pilot training program which pioneered here and at a few other schools and proved such a success that flying 215 courses have been set up all over the country. I talked to Prof. E. A. Brush, head of the local C.A.A. and the new aeronautics department. He has just come from Minnesota where the aviation program included 600 students. He anticipates great developments in Kansas aviation, forsees the day when plants will be moved inland and this part of the country will be- come the center of an air-minded America. He hopes that his courses in airplane design, involving some of the most precise of all engineering problems, will enable Kansans to take a prominent part in this movement. I wandered down to the concrete laboratory where Prof. W. C. McNown does his work--where he recently discovered that by mixing earth and cement in certain proportions he could make a durable, low- cost, building material. From this stabilized earth some 100,000 miles of highway have already been constructed. Nearer to home, it is being used to build the new Engineering Research Laboratories, which, as Professor McNown explained, will be used mainly for research projects-projects proposed and financed fC0ntinued on Page 2311 216 THE JAYHAWKER IHIS Wllll Ui HHSS HESE are the times that try men's souls! Thus spake the great Thomas Paine of the trials and hardships that the struggling colonies were under- going in their battle for freedom. Now, three centuries later, these words have once again assumed real meaning- especially to that oppressed minority, the freshmen. Yes, it is so. Some- time during the runt month, February, most of the Grecian sects on Mount Oread will inaugurate a policy that definitely will try the souls of the fresh- man. The time-worn tradition of Hell Week is still thriving. Maybe not as it did of yesteryear, but nevertheless, thriving. When Grandad was in school hell school a bad name. This, of course, was rather a hard argtunent to refute. Well, regardless of reasons, hell week ain't what it used to be. What is it now? you ask. What has come in the place of the old 'hell week'? V This, of course, can't be answered with too great a degree of accuracy, because the practices now are confined almost entirely to the houses of the respec- tive organizations. As a result, one can't tell, except in a general way, just what does take place. I assure you that it isn't pleasant. Common among the fraternities, of course, is the paddle. This makes an appeal to the freshman that reason cannot make. Some say if you week was just that. Infact, aweek in can't make a man's reason respond, hell would probably have come as a welcome relief. They played rough in those days, in every sense of the word. An occassional death had to be expected. It was the little cross they had to bear. The only thing that kept them going was the faint hope that struggled in their hearts-that was the hope of dying, to which each clung desparately. Things have changed now. Hell week, as such, is non-existent. In its place has sprung up work week or freshman week. 'The name, perhaps has changed, but the basic idea is the same. Call it what you will, those trying days prior to initiation into a fraternity or sorority definitely savor of hell. The change in name, the abandonment of some of the more vigorous practices have come about as a gradual evolutionary process. Numerous factors have contributed. The first modifications came years ago. The death rate was so high among aspiring Greeks, that if the organizations were to continue their exist- ence, less stringent measures would have to be adopted. This marked the first change. Another factor might be termed the panicky parent element. This element manifested itself in the form of vigorous letters of protest A huge move- ment, the Stop-Molesting-Harold'' movement led by irate mothers accomplished a great deal. - Finally, the University itself was a factor working for moderation. They advanced their argument on the grounds that corpses on the campus gave the you can at least make his--well, there are other ways. Another popular favorite is the all-night work session. This consists of arming the freshman with wax, rags, and an incentive, and telling him to make the house sparkle. After a night of this anything on the following days is hell, and I'm not kidding. Other practices are too numerous to mention. It might be added, however, that sororities are in no wise immune to this obsession. In fact, many of their practices are more hellish than those practiced by fraternities, which all goes to show how inhuman women can be, and often are. As a specific example of what I'm talking about, think how youid like to have a nice egg shampoo, with eggs that came over on the Mayflower. Wouldn't like it? No, I didn't think so. Well, how would you like to be armed with a toothbrush and told to scrub a floor, about the size of Yankee Stadium. Somewhat unpleasant, no? Now, maybe you see what I'm talking about, these Hendish females. Some may ask, Well, what's the point? Where does it get you? This can be answered only by saying that until you've been through it, its value can't possibly be explained. It serves a fraternity as a means of unify- ing the freshman class.

This is the expressed intention of Harry O'Kane, who came to the Kansas University campus last September to replace John J. O. Moore as execu- tive secretary of the Kansas University Young Men's Christian Association. Harry - as all the students call him-has just finished his first semester of service on this campus, the enthusiasm with which he has tackled his work and the enthusiasm with which he feels he has been greeted have made the transitional period, bound to come when the secretary changes, comparatively short so that now, after a semester of reorientation, the HY program is ready to launch itself anew under the fresh guidance of its new secretary. It is always impossible to talk of the Y.M.C.A. very long without emphasizing the close cooperation which exists between that organization and the Y.W.C.A., therefore we mean by the Y program the work of the joint Y.W.C.A.-Y.M.C.A. cabinets 4478! Uma under the leadership of both Harry O'Kane and of Roberta Tucker, the executive secretary of the Y.W.C.A. Harry O'Kane comes from a rich background of experience in living with and counseling men stu- dents at Northwestern University where he was per- sonnel worker in their large men's dormitory system there. Harry's educational background includes his A.B. from the College of the Pacific, and M.A. in his- tory at Northwestern, and a B.D. degree from Gar- rett Seminary. After a short time in a Methodist Church, Rev. O'Kane returned to Northwestern and the personnel work that he did there until he came to Kansas University last fall. Harry batches it in an apartment at 12th and Oreadg here he cooks his own meals, houses his stamp collection, sees students who often find occasions to call on him outside of oflice hours, and sleeps once and a while when time permits as Harry puts it. Harry gained his culinary accomplishments, which are exceptional, while working as chef in a summer camp. If you are one of those fortunate individuals who is invited for dinner, or for urefreshmentsf' you will be tempted to invite yourself again-both to see Harry and to get some of his cooking. The Y.M. secretary's principal avocation is phil- ately-stamp collecting to the layman. He special- izes in British commemoratives, of which he has a remarkably complete collection, his collection is Valued at well over 31000. Harry does not live alone in his apartment, however, for he has invited to live with him a student who found the going here hard and who probably would have had difficulty staying in school were he not staying with Harry. Harry en- joys the companionship and the help that an apart- ment-mate can offer. It is Harry's intention to keep such a student to share his apartment as long as he is at Kansas University. The secretary rises early and is invariably in his oflice by the time that the eight o'clock whistle blows. The Y.M.C.A. office, for those who do not already know, is located in the sub-basement of the Memorial Keith Martin president of the Y. Y FEBRUARY 1942 Union Building next to the Jayhawker office just opposite the entrance to the game room. Whenever this door is open any student is more than welcome to drop in and have a word with the secretary if he is not busy at the moment. If the secretary happens to be occupied at the time, the volunteer office at- tendant will gladly arrange an appointment time when one can see Harry. The secretary's days are varied in their content but consistent in their fullness of schedule. Let us attempt to record just what the hat rack in the corner would observe during a typical day were it to have ears and eyes to perceive and pen to record. Since it is rather unlikely that students will come to the office in the early morning before eight-thirty, the secretary has an opportunity to catch up on a little correspondence for a few minutes. Financial neces- sity and the desire to keep in contact with alumni of the Y.M.C.A. have led to the maintenance of a long list of mailing addresses of alumni. Each year a letter goes out to each alumni explaining briefly what the Y is now attempting to accomplish and giving that person an opportunity to contribute in a concrete way to the continuance of the program with which he worked while he was at K.U. Harry mails out several hundred such letters each month, and the financial returns from these letters contribute approximately one-third of the total budget of the K.U. Y.M.C.A. If he isn't attending to alumni letters, Harry may be writing a letter to an anxious freshman parent who has written concerning a son who isn't getting along so well in college. At eighty-thirty the office volunteer arrives, and Harry takes time out to instruct him in what is to be done during the hour that he spends in the office. One non-cabinet member of the Y.M.C.A. has volun- teered to remain in the outer office for one hour acting as secretary to the execu- tive secretary and doing odd jobs for each hour of the school week. These lj fellows do such things as typing mem- bership lists, addressing letters, making posters, or Cif nothing must be done immediatelyb studying for that next hour quiz. About nine o'clock a student look- ing rather down and out walks into the office and asks the volunteer in the outer office if he could see Mr. O'Kaneg the formality isn't necessary, however, 35 Harry heard him ask and invites him in A student confers with Harry. photo by Yarnell. 219 with a merry Sure, come right on in. As the con- versation develops this students turns out to be a typical case of a freshman who has not been able to adjust to his studies and who has just flunked a quiz and is about ready to go back home where he thinks he belongs. Harry listens to the freshmanls troubles attentively and then explains to him the necessity for making out a study schedule and for getting ac- quainted with other students. After they work out a schedule together, the student agrees that it would be worth a trial and that he will stay and try again. As soon as the student leaves, Harry makes note of his name and refers it to the Y cabinet officer in charge of the Freshman Commission who will call the freshman and invite him to some Freshman Y activities where he can make friends. Students sometimes do not come straight to the Y.M. office, often Dean Werner's office or Dean Lawson's office will call Harry referring a student to the secretary's attention. If the student doesn't come to the onice in a day or two Harry will first write him inviting him, then call him by phone, and if necessary even go call on him to attempt to help him solve his problems. In the late morning a member of the senior cab- inet may visit Harry for a conference on plans for next month's program emphasis. The YU program has been organized into emphasis periods for this year. This type of a program set-up is experimental as yet and may be modified. As it is, one month will deal with fellowship suppers-informal suppers at Henley House to which every member of both Y's is invited at one time or another, another period will emphasize America Today -a series of speakers and discussion groups on the world situation and on CConzi1zued on Page 2342 i MHMEE AMINUNIH if OLLOWING in the footsteps of the sensational intramural football season has come an equally exciting race for division honors in basketball. The Phi Gamma Delta quintet seems to have lost little of theustuifn that has taken them to win two successive A team cage titles by administering merciless drub- bings to their first six opponents. Paced by high- scoring Larry McSpadden, they stand atop Division I, followed by a tough Sigma Chi team that has been victorious in four of five games. In Division II, a real battle has developed. Lead- ing at the present time is a Newman team that has scored four wins in as many starts. The Newman Club is captained by varsiety footballster Marvin Van- daveer, himself a consistent performer. Close behind is a potent Pi Kappa Alpha outfit led by Bill Mathews and Bill Atwell. Third team in question for division honors is an improved Beta Theta Pi five. After suifering two early season defeats, the rejuvenated Betas have come back since Christmas to win all their games. Leading Division III is an outstanding Carruth Hall quintet that has succeeded in shoving aside live of six league opponents. Stalwarts of the dormitory by 7am Swim team are Link and St. Aubyn. Trailing, with four wins against a lone defeat, are the Hellhounds and the Crackerjacks. Organized into two divisions this year, respective B teams are waging a heated battle for the coveted play-off berths. A three-way deadlock has ensued in Division IV, where the Phi Delta Theta, Delta Tau Delta, and Beta Theta Pi Elves have succeeded in winning five games. All three have suffered one defeat. In Division V, as in Division I, the Phi Gamma Delta representatives appears a likely choice to walk off with top honors. The Phi Gam B team has won five consecutive games. The Sigma Chi's,Vmaking a bid for a play-off spot have trounced four of five opponents thus far. Down where the boys play for fun instead of points, a mad scramble has developed between the representa- tive C and D teams of the Hill. Latest results show the Phi Psi C and Phi Gam C tied with four wins apiece. All the teams of this caliber have been placed in Division VI. A In Division I of the volleyball league, a hustling faculty representative appears a likely choice to repeat , its feat of a year ago in winning the 1 Y. Hill championship. Boasting many of the stars that carried it to top honors last year, the faculty team has been impressive in winning both of its initial starts. Main worry of the defending champions in the division are the Phi Gams who have also regis- tered two wins. In the other division, a four-team deadlock is threatened. Teams with a single win are the Phi Psis, Sig Alphs, Sig Eps, and Betas. Hold-over sports from the fall season are golf and handball.

Practically all college stu- dents are guilty--are chronic criminals as murderers of the King's English! Thus it is that we of the College are all subject to the third degree, the proficiency examination in English composition. We are all suspects, and on consideration of the findings of the faculty, it is no wonder. . It was back in the spring of 1936 when the case came up. It seems that America was complaining at that time about the writing of American college graduates, saying that hordes of students left college unable to express themselves sensibly. The K.U. faculty agreed that no matter how much information a student may have assimilated, he could not be con- sidered educated or worthy of a degree until he had sufficient command of his mother tongue to express himself clearly. The faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences then set up the proficiency examina- tion requirement. The evidence since found by the faculty is un- usual. The third degree not only proved to be a satisfactory index of literary skill but also a fruitful source of choice bits of hitherto unsuspected informa- tion. Indeed, the faculty was most astonished to learn that a spring board is able to make a high dive and that- in making a cake, one can use his head. Student offences were greatest in punctuation. Spelling ranked a close second, and sentence structure third. But definitely, the proficiency examination proved to be an effective instrument for the detection of deficient student writers, and as such, it is administ- ered five times yearly C once during summer school and twice each spring and fall semesterb. A single satisfactory pass on this exam is needed, but is this easy to get? I.et's see. We are, for the moment, suspects. We are soon to attempt our first trial -Saturday we are to be cross-examined by the proficiency. Of course, WC are juniors in the College because no freshman or sopho- za, Wx aaa more is eligible to take the examination. And we have long since successfully completed the prerequi- site course of Rhetoric lA. Since we are now free from the exacting corrective influence of our fresh- man rhetoric and have now reached our more natural level of writing, this will be a true test of our actual literary skill. . The whole idea of testing us College juniors in writing Csurely they must realize we've been using pencils since the first gradeb seems just too silly to us, but realizing the whims of the faculty must be satis- fied to get that future shepskin, we .trudge resignedly into the College oflice to register for the exam. There we are given a number Chmmm--almost as though we were convicted alreadyb. Now we are all set. Of course, a perfectly good Friday night has been practically ruined with the thought of getting up at 7:45 a.m., but that's the faculty for you. But all's forgotten now that we are entering the room at 8:30 to get the whole thing over with. We accept our direction sheets and start. But what's this? And how would you describe and dehne a doorknob? It's round on the end and turns-oh well, there are other topics. Here's tomato soup, a hairbrush, coal, a neuron, a wardrobe trunk, a dive bomber, and a thermos bottle-or a boycott, metabol- ism, propaganda, literature, a bank account, and the comics. Then, too, there are the duties of an army ser- geant, how to clean house, how to give artificial res- piration, how to swim, how a bill passes through Congress, and how to study. Anyway, regardless of the subject, we do manage our 600 words in those three hours. We fold our papers, write our numbers on them, and exit. Nat- urally, we passedg certainly the verdict of the faculty judges will not deny the fact that after all, we are prohcient writers. We showed 'em, all right, all right. We certainly did show them! The glow of sophis- tication and self-importance of many of us University students would rapidly diminish if we could see the fC012li1med on Page 2341 photor hy Iuchron. HHHUlHlHllH MONTH or two ago Cdepending on when this magazine finally goes to pressj the Depart- ment of Speech and Drama presented the Kansas Players in a three-act play by Robert Ardrey called Thunder Roch. The Kansas Players are an ill-defined group consisting of whatever faculty members in the department find a role to their liking and whatever students make the grade at the tryouts, Nine times out of ten their plays are better received than those given by all-student casts, which, although no re- flection on the acting ability of K.U. students, shows, I think, that plays written for adult chacaters need at least a partially adult cast to put them adequately across. Thunder Roch, well-taken by the audience and by the Kunsun, had a thirty percent faculty cast, including Allen Crafton, Robert Calderwood, and James Barton. Quoting the program notes, Thunder Roch ap- proaches the problem of the individual's relation to the world of today. Charleston, the main character, is a man who has lived a full life and found it want- ing. He has been a newspaper man, aforeign cor- respondent, a man of ideas and ideals. The last years have seen the destruction of all his hopes for human- ity. He withdraws into his ivory tower, which in this case is a lighthouse on Lake Michigan, where his imagination recreates the past. The ghosts of 1849, whom he evokes in his anguish of mind, prove to him that no one need despair, since no one can tell what seeds of future growth lie dormant in the most destructive and apparently hopeless present. His faith restored, he goes back into active life, after sending his reluctant phantoms back to their watery graves? There remains little to say about the plot except to explain that Charleston's ghosts were supposed to have been a group of old world immigrants who were drowned in 1849 when their ship sank on Lake Michigan, and to mention that in addition to Charleston, there were three real, live people in the play-a pilot, a lighthouse inspector and their moronic helper. Thunder Roch is one of those plays best described as a story with a message. It, therefore, must run the risk of not satisfying those who go to a play to be carried away by the characterization and the plot on 74 Qfmence jyzumajic Qeauleut . I T T 1 l 1 l l l 1 l 4 i I l I Q E 1 l 1 5 1: E G FEBRUARY 1942 one hand, and of not clicking with those who ap- preciate the message-but cannot accept it-on the other. It happens, though, that this play does have enough plot backbone to capture the imagination of most of the people who saw it presented. Further- more, it happened that the opening night of the play came on December 9, 1941-only two days after the world-rocking attack on Pearl Harbour. Dealing, as it did, with men who felt overwhelmed by the mess that the world was in two and a half years ago, prior to Hitler's attack on Poland, the playis message seemed to strike home with doubled effectiveness. As my companion said, The moment was nothing less than psychological. The production was full of good bits of acting, al- though none of the cast were consistently good throughout. For the blue ribbon awards I'll take Harlan Cope as the lightkeeper, David Charleston, Robert Calderwood Cfacultyj as Captain Joshua of the ill-fated lake ship, Allen Crafton Cfacultyj as one of his passengers, Dr. Stefan Kurtz, and Mary Robelene Scott as Melanie Kurtz. Cope, without looking the part, managed nicely to convey the impression that Charleston was a very able young man who had turned futilitarian. Most of the time his performance made you see the light- keeper as an intelligent, fairly emotional though easy - going individual who finally sees that his imaginary world is not the answer to the prob- lems that have baffled him. He handled very well the assignment of keeping the audience only barely conscious of the fact that the char- acters of his world did not assume reality and rebel against the man- ner in which he had been having them act, but rather that Charles- ton never saw them ex- cept in his mind and that his reason made him see that he could not run out on the world by the path that he had chosen. Add that Cope's voice 223 carries without his having to strain himself and that his stage motions seemed natural and you'll agree that he is a better-than-average student actor. Crafton and Calderwood, of course, took com- mand of the stage whenever either of them were on the scene, with Calderwood getting a little more attention, I think, when they were both on. Perhaps a few in the audience did not know that Dr. Kurtz's limp, which seemed to give the old Viennese doctor added dignity was not acting, on Craftonis part- that limp was as real off-stage as it was on. Professor Crafton, as the doctor was the mental apparition that finally persuaded Charleston that every cloud must have a silver lining and that he should return into the land of real men and do what he could to find that silver lining. In this play, as with others, Crafton did most of his acting with his voice and his shoulders -and a good job it was, too. Mr. Calderwood, who almost invariably turns in a good performance, took sort of a double role-he was at first merely the captain of the now-forgotten sunken ship, but as the play progressed he more and more assumed the duties of Charlestonis conscience. I have often thought that if Mickey Rooney ever grows up, he shows promise of being another Robert Calderwood, provided of course that he learns to use a little more discrimina- tion in his mugging tactics. One seldom sees an actor, even on the professional stage, who can capture the audi- ence's attention as com- pletely as does this man who played Captain Joshua. As Melanie, the daughter of Dr. Kurtz, Mary Robelene Scott Hts into the picture very nicely. It was her best acting, I think, since Liliom, in which I shall always remember her superlative restrained performance.

Well, I couldn't when Editor Jim Surface asked me at the Hop that night, and still can't. Why, that's impos- sible, I thought to myself. What's there to write about? Therels a Sophomore Hop every year. A big band comes in to playg a crowd comes in to dance, one-thirty comes and the hep-cats go home happy. Twelve hundred words? More nearly twelve. Originally booked in the K-Book for December 13th, the Hop was finally held on Friday, Decem- ber12th. The big band was almost a big band, the crowd was almost a crowd, but the hep-cats went home happy. Red Nichols furnished the band, the sophomores furnished the crowd, and the 1:30 night was by the courtesy of Dean of Women, Elizabeth Meguiar. Dance Manager jim Burdge, though, has a bigger job than most believe. Assisted by a committee in- cluding joe Brown, Donn Mosser, Alice Harrington, and Mary Frances McAnaw, jim is at the mercy of the bookers. Some students may still remember the trouble Fred Littooy had last year when his band cancelled out on him too soon before the junior Prom to get another. To book a band, the dance committee first Writes the leading booking agencies in the country for in- formation. With tremendous defense production booms on either coast, the best bands are making fewer tours and staying with the biggest money. The committee not only has a poor field to pick from, it also has a small ballroom and consequently limited finances. When the time, price, and place are finally agreed upon, it is the committee that signs the contract first. Not until the document has been returned safely signed by the booker can the committee be sure it has a band-and sometimes not even then. lryleafn Udham Hill hep-cats are funny about their class parties. If they think there's going to be a crowd, they don't want to come for fear of being pushed around. If they think there isn't going to be a crowd, they don't want to come for fear of getting stung, What would you do if you were dance manager? I'd resign. A word about the band. This was the second time in eight years that Red Nichols had played here on the Hill. His first appearance was in 1933 when he came for the Freshman Frolic. A rtunor even ran around at the Hop that night that the red-headed meastro leading the music-makers wasn't Nichols at all, but a fake. Investigation confirmed it was a rumor. Now 36, Red first leaped to fame in 1923 at the age of 18. His ,orchestra was one of the first to launch the present swing crazen and it Was then that he was billed as Red Nichols and his Five Pennies. He has come a long way since then. He has made hundreds of records and started many new personali- ties on the road to fame. It is said that more boys have graduated from the Nichols orchestra to lead their own than any other band in the country. Many of these men have gained outstanding fame in the music world. Benny Goodman, jimmy Dorsey, Gene Krupa, Artie Shaw, Jack Teagarden, and Glenn Miller have all had help at the start from Nichols. Although he's been in the public ear for a long time, Nichols still has a fine band and plays good music. His group is much larger now and more than a dime's worth of pennies played with him for the Hop. When asked to comment on the sweet vs. swing question, Red insisted that the meaning of the word swing had changed in recent years. Many people think music isn't swing unless it's plenty hot and noisy. Red contends that music does not have to be noisy to be swing. I do not tax my instruments to their fullest range, nor do I think the best effects are obtained when the FEBRUARY 1942 225 talent of the musicians is constantly under strain seeking sustained, high notesf' Red went on to ex- plain, Music can be subdued and still be swing. My idea of swing music is music so rhythmical that your feet begin to move, yet subdued enough to permit your partner to hear the invitation to dance. A notable feature of the Nichols style is that the melody of the tunes he plays is never buried in the arrangements. He makes the music rhythmical and keeps it memorable. Nichols has but two theme songs, Ida, and the one he is currently using, Wall of the Winds. The Red-Headed Sultan of Swingl' says he receives more calls for the Wail,' than any other song in his library. A word about the crowd. Around 600 people, mostly sophomores, came to the Hop. Correct attire was semi-formal, but the usual number dissented in favor of tuxedos or street clothes. As the crowd was small, there was plenty of room for everyone. Added feature of the fling was a novel idea origi- nated by the committee to turn the affair into a fare- well for fellow students leaving school to join our lighting forces. Balloons, serpentine, blow-outs, and noise-makers were passed out to the dancers shortly photo by Bmnine. after intermission. Only item lacking was confetti, Union building officials felt that it wouldn't add enough to the fun to warrant the bother of cleaning it up afterwards. With a freshly declared war still on their minds, conscientious students carefully in- spected the Made in China trademark on the goods before going on with their fun-making. At least this year's Hop wasn't just another varsityf' They don't have serpentine and balloons at varsities. Most important thing about the Hop was that it was more than likely the last of its kind for the duration. Two-dollar dances will have little place around the Hill from now on if the strenuous drives for more urgent needs are any indication. Even Manager jim Burdge predicts that dancing is shot! If jim is right, Sophomore Hoppers can look back and recall how wonderful it was to have attended a class party and console themselves with the thought that they were at least in on the kill. Although there may be nothing to the talk about discontinuing the re- mainder of the large dances, it is certain that there will be modification. Twelve hundred words on the Sophomore Hop? Well, maybe not on the Sophomore Hop-but twelve hundred words!

Every man would be promised an education and other social benefits. Certainly, such a Bill of Rights would be a world tonic regardless of the reconstruction plan. One glaring omission in Union Now THE KANSAS UNION Where One Finds Real Entertainment I i FEBRUARY 1942 is the problem of Soviet Russia. Any blueprint for post-War peace must recognize the possibility Cor probabil- ity?J of Russia's entering Germany- in force. If Union Now faced the USSR across the Rhine River, another war might not be inconceivable. Sir George Young, British diplomat and author, is a representative of that group which proposes a federal union of Europe, with possible expansion later into a world union. A paraphrase of Young's argument in a few sentences is unfair, but it shapes up as follows, Two forces are working for change today: nationalism and socialism. Na- tionalism has nearly swung its course and is on the way to internationalism: socialism is in its early phase of explo- sive eruption. Europe is in its Dark Ages economically. The Nazis have cleared away the dead timber, and the Continent is ready for reconstruction. Russian proletarian Communism has changed into a form of State Capital- ism, state corporations have taken the place of a centralized proletarian in- dustry. On the other side of the eco- nomic fence, Britain and America have FOR OVER I0 YEARS We Have Furnished Modern Laundry and Cleaning to ' Kansas University Faculty and Students DEPENDABLE SERVICE at the Lawrence Laundry and Dry Cleaning 10th and New Hampshire Ph. 383 REMEMBER! We Have Two Stores for Your Convenience adopted State Capitalism to win the war. After the war we will have to get along with the Russians or light again. This fact alone should give us a great common interest. Russia and Britain and the European countries should unite in a federal union, Young says. Communist public opinion would be detached from faith in the class warg Capitalist public opin- ion would be detached from the propa- ganda produced opinion that ideas and works of the classical economists rep- resent the greatest good for the great- est number. The new Union begins its recon- struction by taking over the banks, which, Young says, represent the soft spot in the economic system Cbeing already controlled by the governmentsj, and, at the same time, the core of the system Cin importancej. A federal currency would be established which would facilitate both British and Rus- sian swings to Stare Capitalism. . The democratic system would be maintained at all times in Britain, France and other member nations. just as we are able to trade and make eco- nomic treaties with Soviet Russia now, without losing the ballot in Kansas, so, under a economic union the various member states would retain their politi- cal faiths. As Young puts it: In the new Housing Estate of the European Union, Capitalist States must be al- lowed to . . . destroy their digestions with tinned food and patent medicines -the Communist States to feed in a communal kitchen. In time the Pro- gressive yeast will leaven the Conserva- tive lump. BOY! YOU FEEL LIKE A NEW MAN AFTER A TURKISH BATH AT THE CONTINENTAL ,--1 f' ., F New' N ' e Stop in and Get Acquainted !

In- dividuals holding bonds would be given interest-bearing bonds. Booms and de- pressions would be avoided through in- telligent union administration of credits and capital. Peace would be main- tained because aggressive member states could be deflated either by economic pressure, or by threat of union military action. Federal union of Europe would work, Young says. Here are some peace plans. Accept them or reject them, they represent thought and courage of belief.

Knowing the story behind the music, one can actually sense the depth, the emotion, of this composition. The music is undeniably soul-stirring, and by watching the audience it is evident that the orchestra has very definitely touched the hearts of all. It is over. The concert is ended. No, the tumultous applause will certainly rate an encore. Yes, it does. The Over- ture to Secret of Suzzane is played. This is a popular favorite with music lovers, and is well received. When it is ended, the applause again leads to an encore. This time it is the Minu- ette from the T. Arlesienne Suit by Bizet. The audience is carried on swift wings back to old Spain. This work is typical of Bizet. . The carefree, familiar, Emperors Waltzu is the third encore, and the fourth is Grieg's cheerful Norwegian Dance in H Major. Each encore has been greeted by thunderous applause. It is beginning to look as though an all night concert is under way. Then, as everyone strains forward to catch the title of the next piece, the maestro asks everyone to rise and join in the singing of the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Once again the auditorium resounds with the voice of the crowd. When it is over, the concert is ended. The crowd, already on its feet, departs quietly. Walking home I hear the crowd talking. Wonderful concert, wasn't it? No one that attended could answer anything but yes, for it was truly just that. Receiving his A.B. degree in 1921, he entered the Harvard Business school, and was awarded a Master's degree in Business Administration in 1923. ln- stead of entering his father's profession, banking, as he thought he would, he accepted a position as assistant dean of the Harvard Business school which he held until 1929. He then took a four- year sojourn to Hawaii where he was vice-president of the Hawaiian Pine- apple Co. He returned to Harvard in 1933 and taught business problems of agriculture until K.U. reclaimed him in 1939. The Chancellor says he has always had a desire to be a country newspaper editor, but has resigned himself to the fact that he is not getting very far to- ward becoming one. Mr. Malott likes horseback riding and skiing on an amateur basis. His favorite reading is biography and his- torical novels. To keep himself alert on modern trends, he reads six news- papers a day. A Kansan through and through, Mr. Malott is the first K.U. graduate to be- come Chancellor of the University. His efficient administration mirrors the frankness and sincerity which are char- acteristic elements of his personality. He likes students, likes to work with them-and for them. With no small reputation as an edu- THE JAYHAWKER cator, Chancellor Malott believes that an administrator really never accom- plishes anything. So many people help and cooperate that his job is one only of coordination. Those people who help and co- operate will tell you that, in the case of K.U., this coordination is extremely important.

Then seeing one of the midgets she shyly, demurely said- Hey, Shorty, how'd I get in this flop house? Beats me, said the midget. I don't know. This immediately prompted Snow White to start a short three hour dis- cussion about the shellacking fate had handed her. When she'd finished the crowd was in tears.

She thundered down to her Gilbert chemistry laboratory and brewed up one of the toughest Mickey Finns on record. Then she soaked an apple in the mixture, for she knew full well that Snow White didn't booze. This done she started out to find her victim. Dressed as an old fish peddler, she approached the midgets' cottage. She knocked, and was admitted by the butler. Snow White was informed of her guest and made an appropriate en- trance on a pogo stick. Hell, said the old woman. Hello, said Snow White. The conversation promised to be a long one, simply because it had such a fine start, but the wily queen wanted to get the gory details over as soon as possible. She didn't want to arouse Snow White's suspicions so she broached her subject very cagily. Like apples? she asked. Yep, said Snow White. Here's a jonathan. Want it? Yep,,' said Snow White. Taking the tempting fruit Snow White imbedded approximately four- teen teeth in its curved surface. The reaction was horrible. She clutched at her throat, belched a couple of times, and fell kicking on the floor. The queen sprang on her victim's chest, voice the victory cry of the conqueror, and departed post-haste. The midgets came home early that night, which was fortunate, forthere was a body in the house that had to be disposed of. This was done with some regret, because Snow White had been a very good cook. The midgets cursed and wept, but for naught. They coulcIn't bring Snow White back to life. That job was reserved for another. A young prince who looked some- thing like Clark Gable. The prince had heard of Snow White and her exotic beauty, and determined to see for himself. When he saw her he was glad he'd made the trip. In fact he was so impressed by her beauty that he was tempted to kiss her. After about three seconds deliberation he yielded to temptation. Looking about, to be sure there were no spectators, he reassured himself, then planted one on her. Well, it must have been good, be- cause Snow White sat right up like she'd been stuck with a pin and cried for more. The prince complied with her demands, and they smooched the rest of the day. Everybody was quite happy now. Everything had worked out so fine. Snow White loved the prince and the prince loved Snow White. You couldn't blame either one of them for that. The 231 seven midgets got a job in the Treas- ury department of the prince's king- dom, so they gave up their pawn shop. And, as for the queen, she passed quietly out of the picture following a fall off of a thousand-foot cliff.

They will be known by the bridges they build, by theairplanes they design, by the whole new worlds of mechanics they discover. Theirs is a glorious future and before it is done they will undoubtedly have left their names on more enduring sub- stance than even the pages of the jay- hawker. For the present then, we leave them with this comment-that they are on the job and that they have a tre- mendously interesting and important job to do. 0 Impressions . fContinued from Page 1701 plays and a few even like them. Here in my dormitory most of the boys have radios and victrolas, with some good records, which they play occasionally. The college lends them good records too, without charge, as it also lends them pictures for their rooms, but for a small fee. A fair proportion of the students have a cultural background that is rather rare in the West. Not a few of them have been in Europe, perhaps have studied there, and nearly all are city-bred,' with the sophistication that this implies. - Their ignorance of the West, and of farm conditions generally, sometimes verges on the ridiculous. One of my New York boys was surprised to learn that wheat had to be planted every year--apparently had supposed that it grew on trees, or perhaps that it was a The BLUE MILL perennial grass. Another asked me one day if there were any mountains in Kansas, and when I suggested Colo- rado as a mountain state, he wondered where Colorado was. Like eastern peo- ple generally, quite a few students seem to regard most of the country west of the Hudson as the Great American Desert, with Kansas as a city some- where between Albany and San Fran- cisco. I' am not joking. A man in the tax department in Boston once asked Lloyd Netzler-now at Harvard - whether Kansas was in Nebraska or in Missouri. Naturally I began my work under a handicap, coming from an unknown land like Kansas. Not altogether un- known, either, for the people know much more about our 'cyclonesn than Kansas people do. Some of them seem to think that Cyclones are about as com- mon as rains in Kansas. Doubtless an important reason for the high quality of the work offered here is to be found in the fact that Amherst offers only a small number of courses, only as many as she can handle well. With an endowment of more than thirteen millions, and tuition of 313450, the college olfers fewer courses than many small colleges with over a tenth of her Hnancial resources. K.U. could study this policy to advantage, for I am sure K.U. would be a better university if she could cut out at least thirty per cent of the courses offered. Some of these students really get a line, liberal education, and can discuss questions quite beyond most of our western students. One evening, after the Student Players had presented Mac- beth, I heard two of the boys discuss- ing the interpretation of Macbeth's soliloquy of learning of the death of his wife, and they had ideas about ir. In one of the dormitories, Sibelius's Fifth Symphony was voted the most popular symphony-imagine it-and in my dormitory quite a few of the boys are apparently very fond of Beethoven, Tchaikowsky, and Brahms, although some of them seem to prefer jazz. The glee club is fine, but the band is even worse than the K.U. band used to be when I played in it. Why is it that the western high schools and uni- versities have better bands and orches- tras than most of the eastern schools? THE JAYHAWKER Amherst is a fine college, that is certain, and the Berkshire Hills around here are beautiful, especially in the late fall when the leaves are turning. Some of these people wonder how anyone can find life good in Kansas, but that is because they have never lived in Kansas. Granting all the good that can be said about his place, I think I would rather live in Kansas, and teach at K.U. One thought that has come to me a hundred times since I came here-what a bargain the K.U. students get! Ex- penses at Arnhert are about 351500 a year, yet the Work done at K.U. is nearly as good-in some departments quite as good. And, perhaps I may as well confess that I rather miss the girls here.

A similar story for violin majors is told by the map on the wall outside the fine arts office, showing cities and towns throughout the continent where former jayhawkers are now teaching. Musical theory is required, in varying doses, of all majors in music. After a session with form and -analysis, double and triple counterpoint, canon and fugue, harmony, composition, and in- strumentation, the budding virtuoso emerges groggy but game, clutching the elements of notation in his teeth. The enrollment in Fine Arts is sub- stantially equal to that of last year. With its undergraduate ranks still firm and full the school is prepared to meet the abnormal need for cultural stimu- lation. Music and the arts now are more than recreational outlets, they are main- stays of national sanity, sounding a clear and forceful note above the babble of hysteria.

QSeems as if any gal that can live with all that wrong with her must be rugged! J The nursels quarters house over 100 nurses at the present time having 21 K. U. degree students and 50 from Kan- sas State. These girls attend regular classes in rooms designated for that purpose, and take such advanced courses as necessary in chemistry, sur- gery, medicine, and nursing care. In the basement of this building is a special room wherein two beat-up but tender- hearted ladies lie in a similar position day in and day out, sometimes in pain, sometimes at ease. These are the re- nowned cases of Mesdames Sally and Annie Chase, sisters of the old school, who though they aren't pretty, have nice personalities. Mrs. Chase and her sister Mrs. Chase are two dummies who must bear the practice of nurses' learning to make beds in spite of the presence of said patients. Of course there's the little matter of getting into this hospital as a med. Be- fore he may even consider medicine a student must have completed three years preparation in college, taking pre- medical sciences to prepare his way for the 'real McCoy' study of medicine. He takes chemistry, physics, biology upon which all knowledge of medicine hinges. They are the basic sciences which a student must get thoroughly-all the time making good grades as proof! If he succeeds thus far, he must spend an- other year and a half at Lawrence in Pre-Clinical sciences, those which pre- pare the student for working with pa- tients. They represent the medical ap- plication on normal healthy people of the sciences which he has already studied: anatomy, the structure of the human body, physiology, the manner in which organs and tissues function, bio- chemistry, the study of chemical proc- esses in the normal body, and bacteri- ology, a buggy business, After this pe- riod of seeing the functions of parts within the normal healthy bodys, the 233 student is ready to study diseased pa- tients-and move from Lawrence to Kansas City. The next two and one-half years he must take at the University of Kansas hospital, the first half year of which is devoted to pharmacology, drug effects. Later years involve pathology, the study of anatomy showing the diseased body, and junior and senior medics' Clinical medicine, the abnormal function, sci- ence, and symptoms of diseases. Then a student is ready for a year's internship after which he is permitted to practice-or go on with a specialized training. Twenty per cent of all doctors are specialists, and to become such a super doctor in a certain line a person must have special training of from two to four extra years-making his total course of study last 12 years. Wheel The University of Kansas hospital now has 12 interns, 18 resident phy- sicians, men in training to be specialists, and 15 laboratory technicians. Have you ever seen a med student? Take another look. They're all made of the real stuff, and have one of the best opportunities through K.

Dr. Miessner is a friend of all, espe- cially children. He has written more children's music than any other man that has ever lived, writing under six assumed names in order to continue to sell his works. The familiar Music Hour Series, which most Kansas schools use, is a Miessner co-authorship and has been adopted by seventeen state systems and Hawaii and is being used in over 15,000 schools. Not only is he a musician, but Dr. Miessner is an inventor. He was the first to realize that if pianos were made smaller, there would be more demand for them in schools. This was not just an imagination, he organized a piano factory which existed during the '20's under his name. The small piano in the pit of Fraser theater bears that name and he proudly claims it. With his brother, Ben, one of the outstanding electronic engineers of the country at the present time, he has put another dream into reality which has resulted in the new electric attachments for the piano that imitate all the instruments of the orchestra. He has developed and placed on the market a small instrument which dit-da-dit-dits the exact rhythm of a difficult passage of music and is called a Rhythophone. Another invention is the meldybells, similar to a xylophone, developed for the use 'of children and many others. All of these things are the product of a mind which is primarily interested in the beginner in music. Dr. Miessner has proved himself capable in orchestral and piano compo- THE JAYHAWKER sitions. His Festival Overture, written in 1910, was performed by the Cincin- nati Symphony orchestra under his di- rection and will be included on the pro- gram of the spring concert of the Uni- versity Symphony orchestra under the direction of Karl Kuersteiner. He has worked with Rudolph Ganz, George Dasch and others in writing all types of music. The huge walnut case, which was mentioned at the first of this article, is the outstanding contribution that Dr. Miessner has made to the music appre- ciation world. This invention has been labeled a Phonoscope and as a record is played a sharp beam of light is played on a time scale which is simultaneously being shown on a screen by the use of a slide-projector. As the record plays, the light beam travels along the scale, tell- ing how long the record has been play- ing and at such and such a time a cer- tain motif, difficult passage, or some- thing else of interest will happen. All this is to heighten the interest in music appreciation. Dr. Miessner has pre- pared hundreds of slides on outstanding musical works and analyzes each num- ber carefully, accepting the theories of outstanding critics and presenting his own before going to another. Dr. Miessner is a past-president of the Music Educators' National Confer- ence. He is a member of the Cliff Dwellers Club of Chicago, a group of outstanding artists, and the University Club on the Hill, and the Lawrence Country Club. He is interested in all the sciences and arts-especially fish- ing. This is Dr. W. Otto Miessner, whom the world knows well, and who has been proudly possessed by the Uni- versity of Kansas since 1936.

The 54th volume of this annual does not wish to take exception to the ruleg on the contrary, we emphasize the man as a luxury which is fast becoming scarce on college campuses. Men are a fairly decent sort, and we try herein to show them as they are on Mt. Oread. We should like to be able to require everyone to read Joe King's V for Vision. Our guest editor, joe, is well known to KU. students. He has held their attention in his pulpit in the Congregational Church as well as in his contacts with student organi- zations. To my mind, one of the best articles that the Jay- hfzwker ever printed is Stan Stauffer's piece on the fraternity system entitled, The Greeks. We have oft been labeled the country club boys and girls. Here is your answer, Mr. and Mrs. Kansas. Joe Os- borne may be above the average fellow Jayhawk, but at least his type is reasonably numerous on Mt. Oread. Lila Jean Doughman dips her punny pen in a well of wit to give the truth about K.U. men in her Men Are Different. Thank gosh, she didn't name anyone. Now we can all classify ourselves where we would best like to be. Having taken the School of Fine Arts apart brick by stone in the last issue, Stan Kreider continues his probing in the School of Law for this installment. After many jabs, Stan comes up with more than enough facts and clever observations to cover that school plus the Student Supreme Court, and the ven- erable Dr. Burdick. john Waggoner maintains that for the first time possibly since time began, the JAYHAWKER has reason to hand out apples to the Men's Student Coun- cil.

Masses of men are at present engaged in mortal combat waging death and destruction throughout our world. Millions more will take up guns and fight before a victory is' won. Why am I lighting? an inner voice cries out in the minds of these. The answers are many, various and personal. The men in service have the war in common, but their incentives are individual. ' If I am going to fight, do I not have the privilege -nay, the obligation, to ask myself why? Perhaps I am going to fight for my home. No, because I am smug enough to believe that my home is free from the reaches of an oppressor. I can not imagine an enemy reaching Denver or Kansas City. Perhaps I am going to fight for my country. No, again I can not imagine my native land invaded. Look at the map! The oceans are too large to span. Our Navy would smash an invader to the bottom before he reached our shores. Perhaps I am going to light for the American Way of Life. Probably I am not, for the simple reason that I do not know just what this term means. Does it mean the right for every man to make his own way? Then why did we have over ten millions of unemployed a few years ago? Surely not all of these men were shiftless and worthless. Fight for the American Way of Life! as a battle cry leaves many of us a little cold until we understand exactly what is meant. Perhaps I am going to fight to save the world for democracy. Say that to one of our generation some- time I'll wager five to one that you get a cynical snort in reply. Most of us have come to believe that we do not have the right to tell any country what type of government it shall have. Have we suddenly been transformed into a nation of gods who know what is best for everyone else? Am I going to fight because by so doing this war will end all wars? Frankly, I would gladly give my life for such a victory, but just as frankly, I doubt if this dream would succeed. Young rnun, you round like un evil perfon. Your tlaoughti ure Jribuerfiue. 'You fzre only hurting your countryif claunces for victory, and Arnericu would be better of if you were put in u Concentration Camp. No, I protest! I have a reason for fighting. I want to win. I believe that our cause is just. But must I fight for the reasons others give me, or am I to be allowed to fight for what I personally believe in? Let us divide the entire world of thought into optimists and pessimists. The pessimists think that the world will never become better, that there will never be less suffering and pain. To them man is and always will be essentially evil. The optimists hold hope that the world will someday be a better place in which to live. They believe that man is essentially good. The pessimists would fight the war, but they harbor misgivings of achieving anything constructive. The optimists would iight with hope in their hearts that out of this holocaust will come, not necessarily a new world, but at least the right to build a new and better system. Those who believe in this are not revolutionists in the long-bearded sense. They simply recognize faults which they do not concede insuperable. The foregoing iconoclastic attack might delegate me to the pew of the pessimists, but my own emotions find my heart with the optimists. We are fighting for the right to dream-for the cherished heritage of our forefathers that man shall have the power to determine his own destiny. Per- haps man cannot determine his individual destiny, but we will not admit that men cannot work together to determine their collective destiny. The enemy threatens our conception of what is right. The young men of Germany and Japan have been conditioned to believe in ethical concepts which we cannot accept. We cannot say absolutely that what we believe in is right, and what they believe in is wrong. But we do say that we could never abide by their moral standards. Thus I shall fight. Perhaps not for phrases which have been handed me but for something which wells up from within. I shall fight not for victory alone, but for preservation of those things which to me are life itself-things which mean more than physical fContinuerl on Page 3092 246 T H E JAYHAWKER V llll ISIHNH N ANCIENT jewish prophet is sponsor for the statement that Where there is no vision the people perish. It is not easy to define what the prophet meant by vision, but it suggests the quality of understanding and insight which is marked by range, breadth, unfetteredness, elevation and pene- tration. The emergency which is upon us and around us makes its impact upon every aspect of human life and existence. The world around, one little -word -the word war -has brought the attention of people everywhere to a sharper focus than was ever before the case. More people are thinking of this one thing, though from different perspectives, than was true in any previous moment of human history. Life has taken on an unprecedented immediacy, a momentariness, and a pointedness. And never was the need of vision-the capacity of bringing to bear on the concern of the moment thought and understand- ing characterized by range, breadth and elevation- more crucially important than today. The wild men with their short-time objectives have led us too long, and the unrealism of the realists', has broughtus to our present state. To say that a major concern of America and her allies is to win this war, is of course true. But to say that and to say that alone, is to run the dangerous risk of fore-shortening our responsibility. For our responsibility is not limited to the moment, our re- sponsibility is as big, and lasts as long as, life itself. People of vision will attempt to see the war and their responsibility to and inthe emergency, in per- spective. Which means, for one thing, that they will forego the over-simplification by which the present plight of the world is regarded as the result of mad dogs running wild. Those who are characterized by vision will inquire earnestly and with uneasy con- science what order or disorder of human society prompted the aggressor nations to agress. They will forego the emotional luxury of the unscientific, false -and I should like to add, irreligious-View which divides mankind into devils and saints, evil and good, fa law KW guilty and guiltless. They will see the war as a human problem, rather than a German or a japanese prob- lem, and the cause of the war as a constellation of economic, political, psychological and moral factors to which all nations in similar circumstances would react similarly. And the consequent freedom from manufactured hysteria and blind hatred would in- crease, rather than diminish, the effective will to sup- port the forces of freedom and progress as against the forces of enslavement and reaction. Moreover, those whose thinking about the issues which confront us is lighted by vision must regard with deep regret the failure of the democracies to practice more completely the ideals which they pro- fess, and for the violation of which the democracies condemn their enemies. COne wonders if the United Nations would not fight the war with a stouter arm if their consciences were clearer with respect to their treatment of the native population in their colonial possessions and of minority groups in their own country.D At least the crisis of the moment carries the obligation, moral as well as strategic, to increase beyond peradventure of a doubt, their genuine devo- tion to all the ideals of democracy with respect to all people. . It is not enough to defeat the enemies of our only- partially-realized objective. A military victory is with- out positive significance-though it would have nega- tive value-unless the basis is laid for the progressive spread and victory of the ideas for which, allegedly, we light. The democratic ideal precludes the assump- tion that any group of people is innately incapable of the democratic way of life, and no more than we can assume, in all conscience, that we have realized the ideal we profess, can we assume that the ideal is foreign to our enemies' highest aspiration. Obstacles to a more universal acceptance and earnest pursuit of democracy must be removed, from the enemy and from ourselves. But their acceptance must be as free and unforced as our re-kindled enthusiasm must be unquestionably sincere.

Their deeds are preserved in dusty tomes of forgotten records and stacked away in small- town courthouses. Yet among these early barristers was a young attorney who found his way to Lawrence and became the first dean of the first professional department at K.U. james W. Green, known long and affectionately to students as Uncle Jimmy, was named head of the law department years before the Rock Chalk first echoed across the golden valley. He divided his energies betwen the duties of county at- torney and a class of thirteen. A good speaking voice and the price of tuition were then just about the only prerequisites for the study of law. The course covered two years. In time Dean Green began to receive a regu- Jimmy, the work of none other than Daniel Chester French. The statue has felt the dripping brush of the uncouth engineers, as well as that of misguided agriculturalists from K-State. In recent years the engineers have cheerfully, if not willingly, scrubbed away the offending green film. Each Hobnail Hop, however, is the occasion for another paintbrush party. The prelegal training requirement was raised to two years of collegiate work in 1921. Since then the importance of broad preliminary training has steadily grown, and with it the requirements for entrance into the hallowed halls of jurisprudence. At the present time ninety hours of college work must be successfully completed before a person can begin the study of law, and in the future candidates must hold a degree from the College. lar salary, and eventually he secured , Seniors have a brief description of the use of a room in Fraser for legal M three years in the Law School: The instruction. The department became the School of Law in 1889. It was a happy day for the laws when Uncle jimmy announced the appropriation for a law build- ing. His students requested that the Regents name the building Green H all. In the fall of 1905 Uncle Jimmy's Law Barn was opened to classes. At that time the course had been increased to three years, and a high school diploma was a require- ment for admission. Also around the turn of the cen- tury began the rivalry between the laws and engineers. By the time the engineers moved into their own building the feud was well-established, and the loca- tion of the two schools at opposite ends of the campus had no dimishing effect on the struggles which are now traditional. Shortly before the First World War one year of college work became required of candi- dates for the Law School. - The death of Dean Green marked the end of an era, both for the University and for its School of Law. Under his leadership the school had expanded and consolidated its functions, and was ready to face the social readjustments of the roaring twenties. The laws contributed more than any other school to the Million Dollar Drive, designed to raise funds for the enlarging and improving of the campus. In- cluded in the program was the statue of Uncle first year they some you to death, the second year they work you to death, and the third year they bore you to death. A custom quite apart from the dignity of the legal profession is that of whistling at Coeds who chance to pass the law steps. It is a peculiar privilege which seems to have been taken over unanimously by the embryo barristers. Weather permitting, the clap-or- carp clan is daily ensconced before the classic facade of Uncle Jimmy's Law Barn. A traditional practice of seniors, by contrast the very symbol of statliness, is the carrying of canes. -The various specimens sported by the exalted third-years express the different personalities of their owners. Gold-headed rods are sometimes seen, while others are studded with jewels. The school is, in effect, a type of graduate school, made up of men approaching maturity in years and attitude. Occasionally a girl aspires to the bar. At present there are two girls regularly enrolled. Stu- dent opinion is carefully considered in unregimented class discussions. Individuality of thought is encour- aged. The faculty say that the students, as a group, are highly cooperative and fair-minded, with a clear idea of what the future may mean to them. There is a common feeling among the students toward their work, and a sympathetic bond between faculty and students-an erprit de corps peculiar to the Law A P R I L 1 9 4 2 School. An institution which is common to no other school of the University is the Honor System. It has been the guiding principle in the conduct of examinations since the formative years of the school, and violations have been remarkably few. Exams may be written without supervision in any part of the building, the only stipulation being that the examinees remain in the building. The system is administered by a group of students designated as the Honor Committee, into whose hands matters of personal honor theoretically fall. The KU. Law faculty is devoting more hours to the teaching of public law than ever before. Exten- sive training is given in social legislation and practice before administrative boards. ln fact the program of training at K.U. is suliiciently broad that graduates can pass the bar examinations of New York State, and of any of the Pacific Coast states, as well as others. In the broadest sense, the School of Law prepares its students for practice in any jurisdiction. A practical opportunity now exists for a combined degree in the College and Law School. The entire first year of the law curriculum may be taken by a senior in the College, provided he can meet certain incidental requirements which are too involved to be delineated here. The effect is that of overlapping the senior year of college with the first year of law, with the object of a Batchelor of Laws degree. It is also pos- sible to secure credit toward the AB degree in Hfteen hours of law. In the summer a full semester of credit in law may be earned in a period of Hfteen weeks. The summer law program is fully integrated with the academic year, and will be a great time-saver in the quest for a law degree. The K.U. law library is one of the best equipped in the Middle West. It has on its shelves some 29,000 volumes, which incidentally is more than the whole University had when Spooner Library was built. In the basement of Green Hall is a practice courtroom and a student lounge, the latter provided through the generosity of alumni. Law graduates are now serving in the interests of national defense through the Federal Bureau of In- vestigation. Others are working with the Farm Credit Bureau. Great numbers of KU.-trained lawyers are employed in the swelling tide of defense industries. A tremendous increase in the volume of private litiga- tion is expected following the war. pbolor by Yawzell 249 The K.U. Law School holds a charter from the Order of the Coif, honorary national legal society which recognizes only the highest-ranking law schools in the country. At the University there are two pro- fessional law fraternities: Phi Delta Phi and Phi Alpha Delta. One of the most popular and all-around best parties of the year is the one given by the Law School. fC0nti-azzzed on Page 3072 ,Ae ,X 5- Lg 74, ..,... . .. 5 1 Ji- I -'- photo by Yamell LEFT TO RIGHT: Freeman, Deuce, Singer, Case and Prager. rllllllll HNH llVl YHHNE MlN IVE good men and true found a political hot potato right in their laps when the Menis Student Council assembled last fall to discover that Uncle Sam had put the snatch on their president. The question of who sits with the bombastic batallion of student legislators, and in what capacity, was the prize package handed to the Student Supreme Court in September. This gave a new twist whether Harvey Hepcat or his brother Heathecliffe must pay for parking the convertible on the Chan- cellor's front porch. Theoretically the court may decide cases of expulsion, and mediate in the bicker- ings of political fat-cats. Particularly vexatious to the court are political issues, and in them it seldom mixes directly. Its in- fluence helps to keep the Pine to the expanding functions of the , Room Pals inside the fence, and court, now in it's third year. . M Sign the minorities from getting kicked The need for an equitable factor in student government has long been felt by under- graduates. The University Men's Constitution was rewritten in 1956, but it made no provision for a judiciary body. It was through the agitation of the students themselves that the court finally came into being. - The present crew is headed by Chief Justice Tom Singer, who was appointed by his fellow justices for a term of one year. The four other legal eagles are Chad Case, Sam Freeman, Bob McClure, and Dave Prager. Although the bulk of cases involves smoking or parking violationtions, the court has jurisdiction over all campus males in matters concerning University regulations. It may be asked to decide, for instances, around too much. Married men are forever being hailed into court because their wives find it convenient to park on the campus. At least this is what married males frequently tell the worthy vericouchis on the bench, who then decide who shall shell out the sheckles. Parking violations can unearth complex family relationships, wherein six persons use the same car. Rarely do the six agree on which one of them ran the windshield up against the little red ticket.

Hlllillllll N HIS forty-four years with the University Dr. William 1.. Burdick, Dean Emeritus and professor of law, has covered by walking more than ten thou- sand miles of campus territory. He has helped to shape the careers of nearly three thousand law stu- dents, and has delivered lectures to about fifteen thousand classes. Perhaps there are in the country superannuated pedagogues for whom similar figures may be cited, but there are few men of learning who more nearly deserve to be regarded as a tradition personified. K.U. was a small cluster of buildings on a big hill when Doctor Burdick first came to teach here. Born in Rhode Island, schooled at Harvard, Wesleyan and Yale, he is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Delta Phi, and the American Bar Association. In 1915 he was chosen Grand Master of Kansas Masons, and he held the post of Civil Service Commissioner for six years thereafter. Doctor Burdick is still an active force on the University faculty, of which he has been vice-president since 19 1 6. In his classes acceptable answers are yes, no, or I don't know. Anyone who thinks or usupposesi' will soon discover the error of his ways. One of Doc', Burdick's favorite points is that a lawyer is paid not to think, but to know what the law is. His stories have become legendary among old grads. For almost any legal principle he can whip out an anecdote from his phenomenal memory. One thing Cor maybe twob which he does insist on is complete attention to his lectures with no interrup- tions. Sometimes he expounds the law to his boys in his shirtsleeves, but when the class contains a girl all is dignity and decorum. Whenever Doc shows up wearing a scarlet tie it is a sure sign Qthatj something special will happen in his classes. No one would think of cutting class on a Red Necktie Day. His study is a curious catch- all for the accumulated books and papers of half a century. In spite of this, he can instantly put his finger on anything he wants except his desk blotter. Doctor Burdick's prolific contributions to the liter- photo hy Yatnell MSW Kaeafet ature of his profession have earned him recognition as the most profound legal scholar this state has ever known. What is probably his most painstaking work, Roman Law, represents twenty years of effort. Its publication in 1938 was underwritten by K.U. law students and faculty. Doctor Burdick took his first real vacation from teaching ten years ago, and went around the world with Mrs. Burdick. They visited the law schools and courts of twenty foreign countries. His observations are the basis for The Bench and Bar of Other Lands, a less technical work which has been very well received. On this tour Doctor Burdick had an audience with the Pope and attended the World Disarmament Conference at Geneva. In his time he has served the state and nation as a teacher and interpreter of the rules men live by, instilling by his simple presence a sense of the integ- rity of the law. His inspiring lectures are filled with the richness of his life. The Grand Old Man of the Law Schooli' is honored each year by his students and fellow teachers at the Burdick Day Banquet, an ex- pression of gratitude by the school he has served long and well. 252 HNHIHIH HI BIG Six co-championship and third place honors in the Western N.C.A.A. were the successful achievements of Dr. F. C. Allen's Kansas basketball squad of 1941-42. With a season record of 17 vic- tories against 5 defeats, the Jayhawkers cinched their tenth Big Six title in the fourteen year existence of the conference. It was Dr. Allenis 25th champion- ship in 32 years of cage coaching. In the N.C.A.A. playoff for the right to represent the fifth district in the Western finals, Kansas turned back a hard fighting Oklahoma A8zM crew, co- champs of the Missouri Valley, by a score of 52-28. Stars of the game were Ralph Miller and Ray Evans. Miller gathered 17 of his reams 52-point total. The opening round of the N.C.A.A. semi-finals found Colorado eliminating K.U. by a single goal, the score being 46 to 44. Charlie Black and Evans led the Jayhawk scoring lists with 18 and 10 points respectively. In the consolation contest, the Kansans revenged themselves by whipping Rice 55 to 55. Black again led the point-getting with 16 and was rewarded for his play in the two games by being selected on the N.C.A.A. Western tournament all- star team. The second half of the season saw the Jayhawks knock off Creighton, Nebraska, Iowa State, and Okla- homa A.8cM. in succession on the Hoch Auditorium fioor, before invading Oklahoma on a disastrous road trip. After losing to Oklahoma A.8cM. at Stillwater and Oklahoma U. at Norman, the Allenmen returned to their home state, whipping Kansas State in Man- hattan and Missouri in Lawrence to finish in a Hrst- place tie with Oklahoma for the 1942 Big Six championship. During the first half of the season, the jayhawker five rang up nine wins in eleven starts. Early victims were Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Kansas State, Bethel, Denver, Iowa University, DePaul, and Wich- ita. Defeats were suffered at the hands of Great Lakes and Iowa Stare. Opening the second half of the season with the finest brand of basketball displayed this year, the Crirnson-Blue quintet set back the co-champs of the Missouri Valley conference, Creighton University, by fag glial Kcmaqa H sixliiiiliiii a score of 53 to 49. It was a game of whirlwind action with a passing demonstration by the Mt. Oread lads that was beautiful to behold. The game was even more surprising due to Creighton's impressive 59 to 46 win over the vaunted Great Lakes team a few nights previous to their unsuccessful invasion of Kansas. Star passer and high scorer of the cage track meet was Ralph Miller with 14 points, with Charlie Black and john Buescher tied in second place with 11 rallies apiece. Substitute T. P. Hunter entered the contest after Black fouled out and chalked up five field goals. With Cappy Miller dropping 11 goals and two charity tosses through the hoop, there was never any doubt as to the outcome of the K.U.-Nebraska game which the Kansans won 58 to 50. Halftime found Kansas in front 29 to 8. Other game stars, were ace passer john Buescher and rebound- ing Charlie Black. Black was second to Miller on the scoring lists with nine points. Revenging themselves for their early season loss in Ames, the Jayhawks overwhelmed a fine Iowa State crew 60-44 with Miller and Black leading the way. Miller registered 26 points, 20 of them coming in the last half. Aiding Miller considerably were Black and Evans, with 17 and 9 points respectively. Evans was the game's defensive standout, bottling up the Cyclone chief point-getter, Al Budolphson. Kan- sas led at the mid-game mark 21 to 16. Oklahoma A.8cM., sharer of the Missouri Valley title with Creighton, was the seventh home court victim for the Allen team, losing by the close margin of 31 to 28. The Oklahoma Aggies ourhit the jay- hawks 11 to 7 on field goals but free throws were 17 to 6 in Kansas's favor. Miller again paced the box score occupants with 12 points, three goals and six free throws. Halftime found the Aggies in front 20-18. K.U. trailed Henry Iba's boys until Black hit a two-handed push shot with seven minutes to play to move his teammates ahead 27-26. During the last five minutes the Cowboys missed live free throws while Miller made two good and Ballard and Black conected for one each. In their third defeat of the season, the Jayhawkers fell before the Oklahoma Aggies on their home court in Stillwater by a count of 40 to 33. Dr. Allen has beaten Iba's A.8zM. teams 6 out of 11 contests but never on the Stillwater floor. Lonnie Eggleston, Aggie All-American, was the big thorn to the Kan- sans, ringing up 16 points. Black was high scorer for K.U. with three goals and two free throws. The Jayhawks had their worst shooting percentage of the season, 16 per cent. Two nights later, the Oklahoma Sooners had their hottest evening of the season and downed Kansas 65 to 51 in Norman. Two sophomores, Gerald Tucker and Bob McCurdy, sparked the O.U. team to victory with 22 and 13 points. High point men for K.U. were Miller with 18, Buescher with 12, and Black with 11. Black did a splendid job of rebounding. The Jayhawks closed a 53-56 deficit to 55-49 in six minutes of the last period, but it wasn't quite enough. The Kansas team turned in a fine performance, but Oklahoma was too hot In a ragged battle at Manhattan, the Jayhawkers poured it on Kansas State college to the tune of 45 to 26. Buescher was the gamels offensive star, with Miller and Black aiding him considerably. Half score was 21 to 12 with Kansas in front. Trailing Missouri in the championship game by 'a score of 9 to 3 with ten minutes gone, the Kansas starting live swung into full steam in the last 50 min- utes and annihilated the Tigers from Columbia by a final score of 67 to 44. The Jayhawks came within one point of tying the Big Six record of 68 points for a single game and shattered the all-time team scoring average record. The Kansas average was 52.1 against the former mark of 46.2 set by Oklahoma in 1939. Dr. Allen, on this, the night of his' twenty-fifth anniversary, used only five men during the entire 40 minutes playing time. The scoring was well dis- tributed with Miller leading the players on both teams with a total of 19 points. All Big Six all-star selections came out with Ralph Miller and Charlie Black rating unanimous first team selections. Miller, the league's leading scorer with an average of 15.2, was placed at a forward berth, while Black, runnerup to Miller in the total point race, was moved from forward to' a guard position. Black averaged 12.8 points per game. john Buescher, K.U.'s great feeder, and Ray Evans, the finest de- fensive man in the conference, were awarded second team all-star positions. T. P. Hunter and Marvin Sollenberger were given honorable mention. photor by Bmnine ChIBlkIeapfZp t g 'rNbk Asfudy h d Coh d , -wumQ 254 THE JAYHAWKER H HHHHHIN HHHHH Ill HIN T'S A bargain! It's a season's ticket to the time of your life! It's a sure winner! It's the Independent Student Association! Indeed, I.S.A. is unique. No other college organi- zation dares to dedicate its existence to the sole pur- pose that its members have fun. Yes, I.S.A. is a purely social organization. Meetings are a joy, and a joy well-attended. For when it's I.S.A. tonight, members and their guests migrate to the Union. Informality is always the order of all business, and all business is fun. Tonight it's a dance, next week a hayride, and next month a roller skating turnout. And turnoutl' is right! The Association is struc- tured of over 550 independents. These students in- vest SBL75 yearly for a membership bond-a bond of friendship which A return dividends aplenty. V f Organized for, by, and of, the stu- dents, I.S.A. elects its own officers, who form the governing body of the Association. This council con- sists of nine ofiicials: a representative from each of the three districts into which I.S.A. members are geographically divided, four representatives at large, the president, and the defeated candidate for presi- dency. Each council member has his responsibilities, and through this council, I.S.A. functions. Since I.S.A. at K.U. is non-local, but rather a part of the National Independent Student Association, council members correspond with other University chapters for ideas for I.S.A. activity. jay Talk, the independent news sheet, is no longer an idea, but a reality. Published bi-weekly by a council-picked staff, jay Talk headlines news of all independent activities. Besides printing the com- ing attractions of the social calendar, views of inde- pendents, council reports and letters, the staff cooper- ates with the president of the council in selecting for each issue the outstanding independent of the week. Genevieve Harmon was the first to receive this honor for her significant success in establishing two new women's cooperative houses at K.U. this fall. All I.S.A. members receive a subscription to Jay Talk without charge. Volunteer reporters for Jay Talk submit their news items at the I.S.A. office. Located in the basement of the Memorial Union, this office is the combined head- quarters and information bureau of the Association. Council members are here daily, open for suggestions for new I.S.A. activity. - Mimeographed I.S.A. student directories are avail- able at this office, available if the students will call for them personally. This limitation is typical of all movements of the Association-friendship is its basis. For its special social functions, I.S.A. requires a minimum price of admission, tickets are sold for these parties at the office. And parties are I.S.Afs particular specialty. Remarkably true is the Association's great success in pleasing most all of the members most all of the time at most all of the parties. This is p A the work of the social chairman and ec his committee, and their efficiency in- sures good times always. They do not rely upon their estimation of student opinions, but actually take a genuine concensus of sentiment of I.S.A. members concerning original party ideas. Annually a questionnaire is sent out. This year opin- ions ran something like this: Would you enjoy a box supper? 715, yesg 265, no. Would you like ro go on a cycling party? 665, yes, 515, no. Would you like one of the I.S.A. dances to be a costtune party? 505, yes Cthe girlslg 505, no fthe boysj. Would you like the Jay Hop to be completely formal? 635, yes, 295, no, I.S.A. has five scheduled dances yearly, which are included in the membership payment. The last of these dances is the spring hop at which the I.S.A. Sweetheart is elected. In the late spring, too, is the I.S.A. style show. The Association extends an invitation to this fashion review to all University women. Members model the spring and summer styles, furnished by the local shops. A light theme is always introduced into the Shows this year John Whitcomb's touch will pre- dominate. Although the style show is strictly an all-feminine l V affair, the men are challenged by I.S.A.'s eight rivalin g bowling teams. Earlier this year, I.S.A. members have gone on a moonlight horseback ride. Then there was the line party to the movie, followed by a two- hour dance. District hour dances were popular early in the first semester, at which I.S.A mem- bers got acquainted. The next red mark on the social calendar points to the Association's spring skating party. All I.S.A. functions are open to all University students, but since I.S.A. is especially interested in independent students and their social life, the interest and support of the independents is its greatest objective. I.S.Afs greatest problem is in reaching all independents. The I.S.A. council is always working toward the solution of this problem. The vice-president is chairman of the publicity committee. The business manager is the finance expert. The secretary keeps a scrapbook diary of I.S.A., noti- fies council members of special meetings, is cor- responding secretary, and takes minutes of the council meetings. The council meets every Monday night. At this meeting the board discusses all its problems. Regular business might include the financial problems, district affairs, new suggestions, and membership. The great problem of reaching all independents presents a great series of sub- problems: too many stags invade I.S.A. dances, some- times leaving many independent women out. Vice versa dances aided in the solution of the particular problem. Next year I.S.A. members will be distinguished by new I.S.A. pins-something new on the K.U. campus. This spring the first new pins will be given to the present council members, the captain of the winning bowling team, and to Clara Smithmeyer for the fine publicity work she has done this year. Heretofore little mentioned, but of basic impor- tance, is the president of I.S.A. The president is elected at the beginning of second semester when all I.S.A. elections take place. There may be no cam- paigning for this office. The president serves on all committees and through his efforts, all I.S.A. is united and coordinated. The president this year is enthu- siastic Mary Gene Hull. Mary Gene, who has been on the council for three years, is a capable girl with a terrinc job. I.S.A. is a young organization at K.U. ln its five years of existence here, it has found strength in its purpose, and proved its worth to its members. lt was established to meet a need-a need of social activity for independent students, and meeting this need, the Association is growing. Today the I.S.A. is performing a welding service for the University of Kansas. It is welding students into a social life which is greater than the sum of its parts. Students who might otherwise lead a lonely life find companionship and friendships within the Associations functions. Also high on the list of I.S.A.'s services to the University is the leadership which it developes in its men and women. At present many of the student leaders are members of this organization, and in the future the I.S.A. will probably increase its proportion of influence. ' I.S.A. is not yet perfect, but is gradually being moulded, and shall, in the not too distant future, crystallize out into one of the University's greatest organizations. pb 0t0.r by Yarvtell SITTING I d' f I ft t r' hthz Oscar S.

In 1920, when Chancellor Lindley first came to the University, the state's five schools of higher education and its twenty-two penal and charitable institutions were be- ingmanaged by a three man Board of Administra- tion. This 'Board, appointed by the Governor and paid tidy salaries, at times did its job well, but so tempting was it to the politicians, and so fickle the political winds that its existence was really dangerous to the stability of the University. In 1922 an investigating commission obtained through the U. S. Bureau of Education pointed out the weakness of this system and urged a non-paid, non-political board. To add fuel to the fire the old Board began dismissing uncooperative, deans and professors and hnally the Chancellor himself. But now the people of Kansas became incensed at the shameless corruption of the school administration. Within a few days the Chancellor was reinstated by Zta Nfikm flfahaa a new governor and a stirring fight began which re- sulted in the present nine man Board of Regents. Since those days the Board has grown rapidly ir effectiveness and prestige. It occupies a regular office in the Statehouse and employs a full-time secretary. Its members, of whom no more than five may repre- sent one party, are appointed by the Governor for four-year overlapping terms. They receive no more than traveling expenses but put in a great deal of time investigating the various institutions and their needs. Although the law requires four meetings per year, the average actual number is nearer ten. Present members are: Fred M. Harris, Chairman, Lester Mc- Coy, Oscar S. Stauffer, Mrs. Elizabeth Haughey, W. T. Markham, Drew McLaughlin, Grover Poole, Mrs. Elizabeth Reigart and Willis N. Kelly. One can hardly ennumerate the activities of the Board of Regents. It determines policy, it approves budgetsg it selects the heads of the institutions under its control, it makes repairs and improvements. In short it has complete supervision of the five state uni- versities and colleges, the School of the Blind at Kansas City, the School for the Deaf at Olathe, and KCOnZinued on Page 302i ff xx-:wg yy V4 43 qv-,-gwgfgfgfffnr w M Z Mm H, ,. rf.

It has only been after many lengthy mam to mam talks that I have secured the following information concerning the truth about K.U. men, much of which had to be dug up. - Boys are good kids, not only because they buy half our cokes for us but because they add to the stag-line and supply pleasing local color. No girl will deny that a conversation does not eventually turn to men, the perpetuators of humanity. Here at the Flaw on the Kaw is a good representation of all that is desir- able, or otherwise, in the opposite sex. . I have found that every campus M 'fda fem has them, men I mean, and every college cutie wants them, as any fool can plainly see. Until Uncle Sam began to point his finger at all our eligible young men, the campus was literally infested with that fascinating species commonly referred to as a male. Rumor has it that all K.U. men are alike, but I sometimes wonder because each is outstanding and each is obnoxious in his own little way. No man can be rightfully typed as there are no two men alike, but at this point I will vainly try to class these unclassy individuals. First, naturally, is the Glamour-Boy or Slick-Chick. He is the one who keeps his school spirit in a bottle under a mattress in the Freshmen dorm. He dances divinely and his steps are as smooth as his line. He dresses superbly, tweed coats, daily shaves, and Vitalis, and he has a four-wheel personality, prefer- rably a convertible. He is democratic because he can afford to be, and as a side accomplishment he man- ages to graduate in four years. He dates a girl that compliments his manly beauty, and he is content to reign with the campus queen, occasionally stepping out with an attendant to keep the girls in the running. As far as wooing is concerned, he is a cinch for a clinch. This type may be found few and far between. Next comes joe College, the boy that swall goldfish, wears bow-ties, if any, and his cord p are held up by the grace of God and a pair of p suspenders. He is game for anything, bootlegs on sly, and he appeals to dogs, babies, and grandmoth If he won at the poker game in the Thank God Friday Club, he drives his roommates car, takes roommateis girl, and heads for any one of the l dives. He cuts rugs, capers, and classes, and invaria gets lost on a country road. The girl who dates wears a coat of armor and prays to God that doesn't have a can opener. This type may be s in a crowd because he is always on the first r while his many imitators may found on the second row or in Eadqkmdn local zoo. Now comes the Clean Ameri Youth. A few outstanding examples of this type Abe Lincoln, Lil' Abner, and the Freshman Trai His dress is immaculate from his head to his sad shoes, and his dancing is easier to follow than train of thought which is always sincere and ab bored. He walks his date to the show, she like and doesn't have to set her watch up fifteen min on the way home. A girl wants to kiss him bef he finally gets around to it, and he thinks of wo not as a necessary evil, but as an enjoyable past' He studies to be smart, drinks to be sociable, and li because life is worth it. This is the hidden side t can be found in almost any college boy. He is a b boy and appeals to a girl's girl. You have to d deep for the pearls and eventually most girls exchange a bathing suit for a diving helmet. Last and least is the Toad. He is the type wh eyes are a little crossed, his hair a little too oily, a if he is not a Fine Arts student, he is a misfit. prattles constantly but fails to tell you about his w until the third date. He walks his date to town orl cold, windy night. She hates it and is thankful that does not even think of keeping her warm. His dar ing is absolutely nil and his eyes cross the other w if his date asks for a cig- arette. His coats are a gormel mess of which none out of one feebly manages to meet his hip pocket and to cover the padlock on his billfold. His shirt collar has the annoying habit of curling up to meet his receeding chin that is perched be- hind an unanchored adam's apple, and nestled between two floppy ears. He is always early to class in order to have plenty of time to remove beaver cap, ear muffs, muffler, and snow shoes. He haunts the library, has never missed a convoca- tion, and subscribes to Charles Atlas. The Toad is what girls dread most in blind dates. I could go on for issues about this specimen of humanity, but this is the week to be kind to dumb animals. Now of course all men Won't find their own per- sonality at home in one of the above havens. Most men have some character- istics which fit into each of these categories, and their classification will depend upon who the li- brarian is. That is if you have fluffed off one of us women, you could not expect very considerate treatment from her local board. Along the same line if some femme fatale has given you the go by, she, in the true spirit of victory is quite likely to relegate you to an inferior spot in the hierarchy of the male. In other words this classincation is more or less of a subjective one and will vary with the relative tastes and experi- ences of the gal. Although the above might sound like more or less of a vitrolic attack upon the male species as a whole, I hope that it does not assume such form in your mind. If any attack has been made, or even any praise con- tained, I donit mean men in general, I mean men at KU. in general. Also re- member that it is quite possible to love some- thing and still criticize it. Please do not think that girls do not appre- ciate ,ye brethren of Adam. If there is a man for every woman, then each man is bound to find the girl comparable to him in social graces, brains, and looks. God bless the victims of those lost souls lost in the shuf- fle of those lost. This sounds complicated and it is, but what is there about a man that isn't? Despite all this, a girl can't help admiring C loving - pitying -chasing- avoidingb a man because he is a man, or a reason- able facsimile thereof. Men are all right. In fact, men are darn near essen- tial, and they are becom- ing more scarce. In put- ting all this together, I hope that you have de- duced the fact that, with the exception of a few, the men on this campus are plenty KU.-te.

Advisor to Men since 1929, Mr. Werner in- sists that the title, Dean, was abolished 15 years ago. No a disciplinarian in fact or feeling, this genial gen- tleman tells us that his only duties as Menls Advisor are to prevent a need for discipline and to keep a careful eye out for the needs of student living. Born of an English mother and a German father, tall, lean Mr. Werner spent his formative years in Liscard, Cheshire, England. After studying physics and chemistry at the University of Frankfort in Ger- many and the University of Liverpool in England, he came to the United States at the age of 28. In spite of this extensive study Very English Mrs. Werner is given credit for the most notable contribution to his education. Contrary to the belief of his Scotish ancesters that it was wicked to enjoy yourself, Mr. Werner loves to have a good time. Summers find the Werner family vacationing in Minnesota or Florida and Henry busy walking, reading, fishing, and writing. A good book to Mr. Werner, of necessity, must be non-fiction. He writes a great deal, but not for publication. For this, he quips with a touch of Cockney accent, a twinkle in his eye, and a half smile upon his face, the world can be heartily thankful. If given another ten years, he insists that he will have discovered what his phil- osophy for living has been. He can propound it no sooner, though, for he feels that a statement of sucf a nature could only be made just under the wire.' Plagued with committees, Mr. Werner is chairmar of the Memorial Union building operating committee chairman of the operating committee for men's resi dence halls, a member of the student loan committee a member of the general scholarship committee, ant a great many more, so numerous this limited space prevents mentioning them. Mr. Werner's pet project is his work with coopera- tive housing on the Hill. His policy is to push the program as long as there is a need, but to stop before creating a demand. Few students know that Mr. Werner has been aI the head of the Kansas state food laboratory since 1923 as research chemist. Probably most of those afternoons you've tried to find him he's been busy in Bailey with his class doing chemical research on foods for government inspection. Radios annoy him, and although he admits he's entirely unmusical he regularly attends Hill concerts because he's sure they'll do him goodf' Basketball is his favorite sport-largely because it's fast and the nearest thing he knows to English soccer. If you enjoy a good conversationalist and have a few minutes to spare, drop into Henry Werner's ofhce in the basement of Ad sometime soon. He's there to help youg and whether he does or not, you wonlt regret making the call. MARCH 19 ilHl'HHllIlS OE OSBORNE is one of those K.U. fraternity menf' You remember what a fine young man he was in high school. President and valedictorian of his class, active in the church, athletic and upstanding. He has such wonderful parents, too. Then he went to K.U. and joined one of those fraternities. Joe has turned out exactly like Phillip Perry. You remember him. He got into all that trouble with that girl while he was at Lawrence. Smashed up his father's car, you remember. And now the Osborne boy is getting the same way. It's too bad Mr. Osborne ever let him go to that wild place, and then let him join one of those no- account fraternities. I can't understand it. My daugh- ter says that joe is just like the rest These Kansans are now of the opinion that their chief educational institution, supported by their tax money, is made up of two or three hundred radical professors, raving their socialistic doctrines, and three or four thousand snobbish young men and women who spend their days touring over the University campus in soft-topped automobiles and their nights dancing in dimly-ligted cabarets thumbing soft drinks. And the fraternities are the root of the evil. As long as we happened to over-hear the telephone conversation between Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Reynolds in Centerville instead of a similar one in Midland or Arbordale, letls look in on young Mr. Osborne and his activities. Let's inspect this organization, the K.U. fraternity, that has degraded him. Let's go through four years of college with Joe Os- of the fraternity men. He smokes, borne, for he is an average K.U. drinks, and carouses around all Sign fraternity man. night. She saw him at the country club dance Christmas and said his conduct was shame- ful. And it's all that fraternity's fault. This was extracted from Mrs. Jones' half hour telephone symposium with Mrs. Reynolds last Thurs- day morning. But the report on the activities of young Mr. Osborne and the flagrant attack on the Univer- sity and its wicked fraternity system did not stop here. Mrs. Reynolds told Mrs. Abernathy and Mrs. Abernathy informed three of her friends until every- one in the town of Centerville, with the exception of Mr. and Mrs. Osborne, could cite the particulars of how a K.U. fraternity was bringing about the ruina- tion of young Osborne. And this isn't an isolated case by any means. Sim- ilar tales have circulated through Midland, Arbordale, and every community in the state until the good people of Kansas have formed a none too good im- pression of their state university, and dread to see their good boys and girls sent there where their good morals will be corrupted. Mrs. Jones was right. That is, she was half-way right. Joe Osborne was president and valedictorian of his class at Centerville High. He earned his letter for two years in basketball, attended church with his parents at least three Sundays a month, and had a high regard for right living. Then came the catastrophic four years of his life. His father informed him soon after his graduation that if he would get a job and work that summer, he would send him to K.U. But Mr. Osborne, who had spent the last thirty years building up the leading law prac- tice in Centerville, wasn't aware of the great hazard to his son in exposing him to the influence of the notorious State University. If he could be have lis- tened to the morning telephone discussions in Center- ville for the past four years, perhaps he would have been more informed on what was going on and could have judged more wisely. But, tragically, joe left the good people of Center- ville that fall for Lawrence. He had rush dates with five fraternities and after the first day of Rush Week Mme M an mum Za like omaha Glad 4 aqmml Me K. W. efgnlem 262 had narrowed his choice of organizations down to two. The following day the news arrived in Center- ville that the Osborne boy had joined one of 1111056 Greek letter organizations at KU. From that day on although Joe didn't realize it until later, he was on the spot. His conduct and even personal habits were subjected to the flawless scrutiny of the good people of Centerville. He was now a K.U. fraternity man and was destined to spend the next four years of his life in hilarious orgies between Kansas City and THE JAYHAWKER back to their house. Then, as was the custom, Joe and his fraternity brothers journeyed to Kansas City and drink of the metropolis until it afe to return to the fraternity house without suffering mild hazing at the hands of the actives. The walkout was one of those all-night orgiesu that Mrs. Jones had scored in Centerville. And even though no bottles were hurled from careening auto- mobiles by uone-armed drivers, no midnight tele- phone calls were made, none of the brothers rode to test the food WHS S tx 1 Lawrence, providing he stayed in school that long. Joe started out true to form. That is, after three weeks of studying until 3:30 each afternoon and from 7:50 until 10:30 in the evenings, practicing intramural football for an hour three afternoons a week, doing freshman duties around the fraternity house, and going to movies on Friday and Saturday evenings with his pledge brothers, joe went on the traditional freshman walkout. The walkout was a success. All of the pledges had dates with a sorority pledge class for a picnic and then came back into Lawrence to dance at one of the dimly-lighted cabarets CWiedemann's Grill, no doubtb, until the womerfs 10: 30 curfew brought the sorority freshmen The Kappa Sig Block ond White party. home laid out in the back seat of the car, Joe will now admit that it must have been what Mrs. Jones had had in mind for it was the closest parallel to an orgy that he encountered during his years at the Uni- versity. Then too, all the pledges felt the fatigue of their escapade when they went to classes the follow- ing morning. So went joe's first year at Lawrence. Attending classes in the School of Engineering most of the day, practicing intramural sports during the late' after- noons, reporting for freshman basketball each eve- ning from 6 until 8 o'clock, and studying until midnight kept him fairly busy, but he also managed to crowd into his routine writing for the Kumar Engineer and having one date a weekend with a petite blond from Leavenworth. Of course, he, along with his pledge brothers, found plenty of time to do their carousing, as Mrs. jones authentically reports it, for while the fraternity had rules outlawing drink- ing and didn't allow the pledges to leave the house after the evening study session, the actives were lenient and enjoyed having the pledges arrive at the house and blindly stagger to bed at 3 a.m., waking them in the dormitories. And so, after a half year in the fraternity, Joe's life was already in the process of ruination. joe still remembers the Christmas vacation of his freshman year. It was somewhat of a relief to get away from that round-hobin of hilarious good times and social whirl. Of course the fact that Centerville was one of those places on the map where time wasn't the essential element and those around you didn't try to crowd a 56-hour day into 24 hours wasn't one of the factors that made joe look forward to getting back home again. Nor did he want to see his parents or his high school friends after his three month's absence. It was absurd to believe Joe when he an- swered the question, 'Been enjoying yourself up at Lawrence, joe?' with the statement that he had been studying pretty hard. Everyone knew better. It was at the Centerville Country Club dance two nights after he arrived home that Joe found out that his two closest high school friends had changed their recreational habits somewhat, for their salutation was, 'lLet's have a drink, Joe. After cornering Joe, they immediately wanted to know all about the drinking and night life at Lawrence that they had heard so much about. Joe finally made a good story out of the walkout by enlarging on the details somewhat, but they wouldn't believe him when he asserted that he really hadn't seen or heard of any of the drinking parties they kept alluding to. It was at this point, while Joe was trading stories with his inebriated high school friends, that Mrs. jones' daughter saw him that evening. The other two youths weren't men- tioned,'but joe was branded a college playboy. That was what a K.U. fraternity had done for joe Osborne. Returning to Lawrence, Joe soon found out that the most strenuous part of college came at the end of the semesters, but he managed to come through with 21 Bn average in his school-work and be initiated into the fraternity. When Joe wrote home that all but two of his nineteen pledge brothers had made the CH or better average required for initiation, his fConli1zued on Page 3052 pbozot by Ymwell 261- THE JAYHAWKER H IllElHHHllllN Ill lllllllllllllllll TUDENT philosophers, throughout the history of the University, have maintained that the chief advantage of being an independent has been--simply being independent. With the University of Kansas still believing that it is an infringement upon student rights to require residence in University approved rooms, independent men may choose the shelters in which they wish to throw their hats at night. They may eat in boarding houses, order their ham and eggs every day in Hill cafes, or exert their rugged individualism and just plain batch. The barb Cas the independent is sometimes calledj may prescribe his own study hours, shine shoes only when he feels like it, and work when and where he chooses. The University is more than three-quarters of a century old. So are the above-mentioned rights of independent students. ' In accordance with the age-old maxim of You can't get something for nothing, however, those advantages, great or small as they may be, have their accompanying disadvantages. The independent is, and has been, independent-granted. But that very Zia jaw 604401165 independence has been the root of many a blue mood and the reason behind the purchase of many a ticket back home to Mother. The independent doesn't have to go play intramural tiddledee winks for the glory of old Yyswitch Rho when he would rather be at home reading How Pete Carried the Mail through Dead Maris Gulch. On the other hand, suppose he likes to play tiddlede winks and wins the tourna- ment. What of it? Maybe the folks back home in Buffalo Junction will be proud of him, and he will probably get a cup for his efforts. But will the guys at the house congratulate him and pat him on the back? No, no. He's an independent and there just aren't any guys at the house. That tournament is his own little secret. It is a real task for the independent man to become a good Joe. When he first arrives on the Hill he is just a minnow in a big pond-a sapling in a forest. He does his own introducing. If he wants to meet George Greenfellow or jerry Experience, he has only one course of action. He must approach his quarry and say, 'Tm Joe Blokef' Then he extends his hand and hopes that George or Jerry will grasp the out- stretched mit and come through with corresponding information. For the fraternity man it is a different story. The minute he is pledged he acquires from 20 to 50 brothers Counting the brothers and their acquaint- ances, the University's newest son at once has direct or indirect contact with probably half of the some 4,500 students and faculty members on the Hill. Enough comparison. The point of this article is this: THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH. The picture of the independent as a lone Wolf is being repainted--repainted by many organizations, five of which have gained positions of major im- portance. High on the list of factors which are working tOWard betterment of independent students and equalityifor all students is the Independent Student Association. Organized on this campus in 1937 by a few independent students of the ball of fire va- plootos by Yamell MARCH 1942 riety, the I.S.A. now has more than 500 members. Students pay 561.75 per year for membership cards, for which they are permitted to attend five major dances, a style show, and many smaller district dances. All dances are held in the Memorial Union building and are on a par with similar entertainments given by Greek-letter organizations. 'lI.S.A. and organized recreation for independent students have become almost synonomous. The I.S.A. has taken upon its shoulders the task of organizing social life for the independent. It has done, and is doing, an excellent job. Mary Gene Hull heads the association this year, replacing Fred Robertson. An organized social program has done much toward all-student equality and toward making University life a thoroughly enjoyable life for the student who cannot, or does not care to, join a fra- ternity or sorority. Social activities are an important niche in Univer- sity life-but only a niche. There are other fields which must be conquered before the ideal University life for unorganized men will be approached. And there are other campus organizations at work con- quering those fields. The Y.M.C.A.,.a Christian association of many years' standing throughout the entire civilized world as well as on the Hill, long has been doing its part toward student adjustment and student equality. In the Y cabinet, commission meetings, membership assemblies, outings, and fellowship suppers all stu- dents meet and migle on an even footing, gaining friends and fellowship they will never forget. Harry 265 O,Kane, Y.M.C.A. secretary, counsels independent and fraternity man alike, and on everything from love to money. Student religious organizations of the various faiths also sponsor worthwhile programs and develop leadership among the students. Some students prefer these church movements to any campus organizations and devote most of their extra-curricular time to them. Taking a long stride toward providing fraternal and healthful living at low cost for independent stu- dents is the mushrooming independent student co- operative housing movement. jayhawk Co-op, the Hill's first cooperative house, was established in the fall of 1939 after the project had been discussed by an interested and energetic group of men throughout the preceding school year. One of the student found- ers of the house, Gerald Fiedler, stayed in Lawrence all through the summer of '39 locating a house, buy- ing furniture, and making ready the September open- ing. John J. O. Moore, Y.M.C.A. secretary at the time, and his wife consented to be houseparents for the organization. In September, 1939, the Moore's and 20 boys moved into the house at 1614 Kentucky. Cooperativ- ing housing at the University of Kansas had begun. Since that time, two additional men's co-ops and two women's co-ops have been established, the combined houses accommodating more than 100 students. Cost per student is low. In their first year of operation the men paid for room, board, social fees, and incidentals such as newspaper subscriptions for the surprisingly low total of 31317 each per month. Montinued on Page 3032 lHl lNllHlHHllHNIlY EUUNEH HE fraternity system cannot survive unless it can justify its existence. It is the object and pur- pose of the Men's Interfraternity Council to find that justification and translate it into action. , Two years ago the Council adopted a revised con- stitution which vested in the Council full powers of self-discipline over the member fraternities and en- larged the scope of the Council's activities. With the new constitution came a new fraternity philosophy -the spirit of united we stand, divided we fall. Under the present organization the Council realizes that it has the power to unite the fraternities into a common bond and to marshal the energies of the fraternity system for the good of the University. Membership on the Interfraternity Council is now permanent. Each fraternity group is represented by three members-a sophomore, a junior, and a senior. Each year a sophomore is elected to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of the senior member. By means of this procedure a stronger bond of inter- fraternity friendship is created and a continuity of thought and purpose is maintained. Consistent with its purpose of promoting the aims baflcwe pwqw of higher education the Council has established a higher scholastic requirement for initiation, although the all-fraternity average has been consistently above the University's all-menis average. Each year the Council awards a permanent trophy to the fraternity showing the greatest improvement in its scholarship over the previous year. In addition, the fraternity which attains the highest scholarship average among the members of the Council for each scholastic year receives a trophy from the Council in recognition of its achievement. On March 27th and 28th, 1942, the Interfraternity Council will play host for the Fifth Annual Inter- fraternity Conference for Region V, which includes all colleges and universities in Kansas, Oklahoma, and the surrounding states. This conference will serve as a forum for the discussion of many of the complex problems which face local interfraternity councils. The Council furnishes a united organization for the promotion of Homecoming, Parent's Day, etc. The Menis Interfraternity Council stands as the symbol of fraternity solidarity working for the Com- mon good and for the advancement of University life.

Mi 1ll5L,1 I 1 :Week N A Wednesday night not long ago a group of hard-working people calling themselves the Chekhov Players put on CW.D Shakespe-are's Twelfth Night over in Hoch Auditorimn. The scenery and the costumes were, for the most part, pretty-I liked thatq Every actor in the company did a great deal of dramatic posing-which is to be commended because it indicates that they all must have worked quite a bit on the thing. And they got the audience to laugh enough times to warrant the play's being referred to as a comedy-true, true. But I couldn't hear very well, and I missed Whatever it was that went on up on the stage that justified their having been brought here. There were a lot of people present to see the pro- duction. Most of them came, I think, because they were curious to see a Shakespeare play, but frankly, if Shakespeare doesn't pirouette in his grave every night the Chekhov group plays him, I miss my guess. Fm referring, of course, to the continual display of ballet tactics that occupied the center ring throughout the performance. Don't misunderstand me-I have nothing against ballet dancers in their proper place. In fact, one of my better friends is a ballet dancer- but let it go. As to the acting-remember I couldn't hear very well-each player seemed to be about as good as the next, with a few exceptions which I can't name be- cause I lost my program. At 'any rate, their individual degrees of excellence in acting appeared to be notic- IWHHH NIHHI ably uniform. No single one stood out during the evening as being either especially good or especially bad. Between halves, a couple of us, having nothing better to do, wandered backstage in search of Mr. Chekhov. We talked tothe two who played the parts of Viola and Sebastian the twin brother-and-sister Cstill can't find that programj. They told us that Mr. Chekhov stays in New York, where he has a school for actors. Chekhov, it seems, was prominent in Moscow theatrics up until 1928, after which he was at large in western Europe for a time-until 1955, if you want to be exact, fOr 1936-my notes are a little blurred right there.D Although Max Reinhardt has called him the greatest living actor, he now confines his activities to teaching and direct- ing. The cast of Twelfth Night, it was explained to us, are the cream of his students. We asked them if anything had happened to the troupe that might make a good story, but they couldn't think of any- thing except that the bus in which they were traveling fell over into a ditch one night, which was why they now go from place to place in station-wagons. We thanked the two and went back to our seats. One thing we forgot to ask them, and something that wasn't brought out in the play itself, was what significance the title of the play had. Upon consulting my Croorn-mate'sD dictionary, however, I hnd that Twelfth-night is just another way of saying January fCom2i1tzted on Page 3072 APRIL 1942 289 SHHHN N THE night of March 10, 1942, Vincent Sheean, world-famous journalist, launched a new career, as an artist. For a brush he used words, for paint he used current history, and he painted a picture-probably the darkest anyone in the audience had ever seen. He named his creation, The Present State of War. Handling his brush like a master, Sheean began his task. He traced the course of the Japanese nation for the last half century, showing vividly the factors and elements that even then were laying the ground- work for the present conflict. As early as the first war between Japan and China, the Japanese dream of Empire had come into being. The aim at first was a threefold conquest. First take Koreag then Sibera and Mongolia, and finally, China. They were fully aware at that time that if their dream of a great Asiatic Empire was to be realized it would be necessary first to evict the American forces and squelch the American influence That is what they re doing today To add to the shadows of the already dark picture Sheean disclosed what he knew of the japanese as a race what he knew of their philosophy and of M Spawn EMM their nature. He stressed the amazing unity of pur- pose of the entire nation, and explained it by saying it was a natural manifestation of the national philo- sophy. The Japanese, regardless of their religious beliefs, accept the divinity of their emperor and the divine origin and destiny of their state. This philo- sophy carries with it the idea that to die serving the emperor is to die with both hands on the golden gate. It tends, therefore, to make them unusually courage- ous in battle. Further, Sheean cited example after example of their unbelievable brutality, their cynical disregard for htunan life. , All these facts concerning the japanese might have seemed remote and irrelevantg but Sheean showed why they were just the opposite. Our navy, he says, is far from adequate. In the Pacific, it is sadly inferior. The old myth as he called it that the United States had five battleships to every three of the Japanese couldnt be believed if George Washington told it The Washington Treaty that established that mythical ratio was nothinff more than 1 scrap of paper to Japan He pointed out that the fact that any treaty made by japan wasn t worth the paper on which it K C ofzzzmfeaf on Page 3082 Sheean chms Wlf some students 7 7 L 1 1. . . . . , . - - . 33 K 9 ' C . 1 V - ' ' 9 im1,xu lma:u1l' ,rear - .. .. .

The women came like lambs, etc. CIt ir March.D Mock war between Pachacamac and P.S.G.I.. factions in the Pine Room was ended with Pearl Harborg the Men's Student Council was faced with an actual war. The result has been a political coopera- tion, harmony, and efficiency hitherto unknown. In the two months prior to reconcilia- tion, no legislation of any major impor- tance was passed by the Council. Form- ing a wholesome contrast, the record of the Council after the advent of a more serious point of view has been note- worthy. Parliamentary skirmishing, and some political maneuvering remain, but members of both parties are compatibly TOP TO BOTTOMt Wuterrnulder, Burdge, Wright. pbolor by Brock by jafm Wagqanm seeking the same goals. As I have noted, efficiency is the re- sult. A revision of student opinion on the Council's potentialities may well be in order. The group is no longer the favorite butt of Kenyan and student razzing. And as the self-respect of the Council Cas well as student respect for the Councilj has risen, the political self- respect of the voting student at the Uni- versity may conceivably be restored. The M.S.C. includes equal numbers of Pachacamac and P.S.G.L. representa- tives. Officers are the Pachacamacs: David Watermuler, presidentg joe Brown, vice-presidentg Fred Lawson secretaryg and Doris Munsinger, treas- urer. I Dave Watermulder presides over the Councilg Orville Wright, as Pachacamac APRIL 1942 whip, writes and guides much of the M S.C. legisla- tion, Jim Burdge, as P.S.Cr.L. leader, is a loyal critic, and Willis Tompkins, P.S.G.L. wheelhorse, with Robert? Ruler of Order in one hand, and the M.S.C. Constitution in the other, controverts with Wright Cand 'vice fuemzb. And most of the other Council members are active in voting and argumentation. As important as the work done in the Pine Room is that done outside, carried on chiefly by committees. Certainly the most important work of the year is being done by the War Defense Committee, a group set up with the purpose, first, to create or stimulate the feeling of responsibility in this war in each and every student-that is to overcome the lethargy, the apathy, the 'well the war doesn't matter much to me' attitude so prevalent on this campus, second, to direct the students' activities into channels that will prove beneficial to themselves in this time of warg third, to do all that it is possible for 5500 students to do in aiding our government and leaders in the pursuance of a successful war effort. CQuoted from the First Report of the War Defense Committeej The Com- mittee has held conferences with individuals on the campus directly concerned with the war-defense pro- gram, with Chancellor Malott, with Mr. Ryther of the press, with Dr. Canuteson, head of the University Health Service. Continuing, the Committee Report tells of an en- thusiastic response from all persons interviewed. The Report also lists activities which it will attempt to carry out. Several have already begun, for example, the collection of books for the U.S.O. and the selling of defense stamps to students. And the Council made a timely survey of student opinion on war and defense needs here at the University. The First Report con- cludes with the following words: This then is the committee's program. It requires more than just the Committees effort to put it over. We must have the Council's cooperation, as well as the cooperation of the whole student body. Members of the Commit- tee are: Orville Wright, chairman, Elden Beebe, Joe Stryker, and Verlyn Norris. The University calendar was an important accom- plishment of the Council. The 1000 copies of the first edition lasted only two days. A second edition of 800 copies was sold on the day of its appearance. The calendar because of the warm acceptance it en- joyed, is being considered for annual publication. Work of the Council which has borne repeated fruits, and promises much for the future, is the estab- lishment of a Unity Committee. Established bY 3 291 special joint council made up of M.S.C. and W.S.G.A. members, the Committee smoothed out difiiculties resulting from the student walkout of last semester. The committee is diverse in makeup, containing mem- bers from many Hill organizations, lt is working at present on the problem, What is the proper place for student government at the University of Kansas, The committee, working with respect for both Ad- ministration and student interests, is attempting to found student government at K.U. on the rock of student-faculty-administration understanding. If the committee is able to define successfully the function and the position of student government on the Hill, an appreciable step will have been taken toward the goal of all-University cooperation. Many other minor activities of the Council deserve mention. The Council passed a measureproviding that the Union ballroom might be used free of charge for class parties and varsities. A revision of the Constitution is being made. The M.S.C. also handles student parking and regulates the frzylmwker, the Krzman, and the Sour Owl. And M.S.C. members serve on numerous committees without the field of student government proper: Student Union Commit- tee, Athletic Board, Forum's Board and others. The Council has now been frozen. That is for the next two years at least, each of the major parties, P.S.G.L. and Pachacamac will have equal representa- tion on the Council. In the act of freezing, the Council is to maintain its present size of twenty, ten from each party. The offices of president, vice- president, secretary, and treasurer are also to be dividedbetween the two parties. Pachacamac will have the presidency for next year. This was done to provide year around stability for the Council and also to eliminate campaigning Many of those who make politics their collegiate avocation consider can- vassing can best wait until the world situation clears up and more time is available. A final nosegay for the revamped Council. Finances have been handled judiciously this year. A balance of more than S5400 lies in the treasury. How to put the Council on a thumbnail? Problems-the war, and finding the proper niche, large or small, for student government at the Uni- versity of Kansas. Bouquets-ehiciency and a growing cooperation, both inside the Council and outside. Brickbzzl-the amusement value of the Council has definitely dropped, the Sideshow element is gone, for a long time, we hope.

Yeah, I know, but whether they miss it or nor, it ain't right I' 293 IS WHUNH decided the only solution to his problem was for him not to go home until Sime had had time to get there. This solution pleased him. He wouldn't have to lie, and he wouldnit have to snitch on Sime, and these two things he definitely didn't care to do. With a sneer of contempt, Sime watched his younger brother disappear into the dark shadows. Wonder what the hellls gotten inta jim lately, he mused. Must be turnin' yella. He made his way noiselessly between two garages, and stealthily approached the great dark house. Tak- ing cover behind numerous bushes and trees, he gradually worked his way across the yard to the porch. He waited a few moments, then, without a sound, he crept onto the porch. .He crossed this without hesitating. Slowly, carefully, he pushed open the door. Inside, he could see nothing. For a few minutes, he just stood stiff, waiting for his eyes to adjust themselves to Ah, fer Gawd's sake! 'Well, I A7 spenaea the ne d k . S l ain't gonna argue with ya, ya damn sissy, but remember this, when I got the money and everything's smoothed over so's I can spend it, don't you come belly-achin' around wantin' me to give ya some, 'cause I ain't a gonna do it, see?

You're gonna get in trouble sure as anything. Oh, hell, dry up and blow on outta here, will ya? Jim reluctantly withdrew, leaving his older brother alone in the dark alley. He hated to leave him, be- cause he and Sime had always been such great pals, now he was letting Sime down. But what else could he do? jim knew that stealing wasn't right, and he'd not do anything that he knew was wrong--especially when there was so much chance of getting in trouble. With a heavy heart, he wandered down the alley to the street. He didn't know exactly what he ought to do. If, he went home, his mother would ask him where Sime was, and he'd have to tell her, 'cause lying wasn't right. Yet, if he told her, he'd be snitch- ing on Sime. That wasnlt right either. Finally, he w ar ness carce y breath- ing now, he edged through the kitchen into the dining room, from the dining room to the parlor, and from the parlor to his goal, the study. Soundlessly he entered, for the door was ap- parently well oiled. In less than a minute, held found the desk. He opened the drawer. Damn it, he breathed, was it in the desk or in the table? She told me which one, but I can't re- member. Tearing papers asunder in his frantic search, he moved from one drawer to the next. Always the result was the same: no money. With a savage snarl he walked over to a table that stood by a large plush chair. Opening the drawer, he thrust his hand inside. Hurrayl I've got it, he almost shouted aloud. Folding the bills neatly, he placed them in his shirt. The battle was over, the victory won. He made his way noiselessly from the room, but in the dining room he tripped. There was a loud crash as he stumbled against the buffet. He was panic- stricken. He tore through the kitchen like mad, no longer was there any attempt at being quiet. On the back porch he stumbled again, but it did not slow him. As he started across the back yard, lights blinked in an upstairs windows. KCrmtiv111ezl azz Page 3091 ITH a certain dignity and quiet beauty all its own, restful rhythm of the One o'Clock Jump-Basie climaxed an evening of chamber music played by james Lunceford, B.A., M.A., and B.S., and his group in the Union building on Friday night, February 27th. There was only one thing wrong- the chamber was too small. Mr. Lunceford simply had to take the roof off. And he did. Of course, he had help. The applause was terrific. I contributed no little to the roof-raising activities. And why not? A crowd of four hundred plus couples is hardly expected to be silent under conditions similar to those of that eventful evening. It was the junior Prom, and the gang was there. Mr. Lunceford and the sixteen highly-paid Cask Inn Burdgej music-makers produced the highest type of primitive music that modern civilization is capable of, but the band was so skillful that even the fastest numbers were danceable. And the really slow numbers were something that melted in your mouth. Mellow. There was just enough of a crowd around the band- stand all the time to leave the rest of the Hoot free for dancing. That part was swell. And the show on the bandstand was really somethin', too. The only disappointment there was the fact that Mr. Lunceford, with all his college degrees, played no instrument. But the boys in the band made up for that. They photo by Bnmine Jalan Malia clowned their way through the whole evening with- out hitting a sour note. For instance, the crowd grew progressively more hysterical with each chorus of Star Dust, because of both the fine rendition by the instrumentalists and the individual antics of the first trombonist, who tried frantically to get Lunceford's nod to take a solo break, and failed repeatedly. By the time he had picked up his hat, his music, and threatened to go join Sammy Kaye the crowd was in stitches. And arms were weak from applauding after the bandis special arrangement of Blues in the Night. Yes, Harold, now don't you wish you had gone? For, after the opening few bars and the wailing saxophone solo which keynotes the whole arrangement, the low- down trumpet playing of a poker-faced, moustached fellow named Webster had the supposedly worldly group'of college students holding its collective breath. Then the tension relaxed when Webster did, and everyone laughed through the last chorus when the entire band stood up and sang the words, adding their own inimitable comments at appropriate moments. Then, intermission-the band was played out- and the formal, semi-formal, and strictly informal couples ran for the Union fountain or the cloak room or their cars for a breath of fresh air or a few d came back and began the minutes of rest.

If Mr. Mortimer will just stuff hunks of cotton in his ears, we will reveal sundry definitions that are in wide use on a certain college campus today. It's a place conducive to relaxation Chighj , rooms of restful gloom, nothing interesting, no disturbance, just wonderful sleepf' Well, my social life depends on it. I wouldn't know where my next date was coming from if it weren't for the dear old library. It's amazing, the people you meet! They're two things to do there-check out a book or be bored. Never can remember my identification, so most of the time Ilm just bored. Oh, that's the place I meet Charlie at two on Mondays and Fridays. Library-uh-yes, when was it I was there? Must have been my freshman year. Sorry, can't re- memberf' T My WWW Qhmay Then, of course, there are the people who prefer the old-fashioned use of the word. Statistics say they are in the majority. This started out to be a story of a library and how it grew up, and so without even considering such vital problems as the number of steps, the hourly turn- over, and the front hall-we proceed. - Once upon a time, before such happenings as basketball championships and midweeks were ac- cepted things, when the University colors were corn yellow and blue, and Mt. Oread in the spring, instead of a thing of beauty and joy forever was an ex- panse of mud or dust, as the case might be, there stood a library. A Yes, ,way back when KU. traditions hadn't emerged from their respective shells, somewhat less than seven hundred students endearingly termed sev- eral rooms in the south end of Fraser Hall as our library. Endearingly, we repeat, because then a library plus a land grant from the government were about the only things that assured them they were photo by Yzzrnell ,Q I ', 1 'll l , 3 as 115511 ' 3 I APRIL 1942 matriculating at an institution identified as the State University. That was the beginning, and since, down through the years, the progress of library and University have been parallel: more students, more books, more campus acres, more floors in library building. But this is anticipating the story. And so we pick up the thread of our saga. A few years passed and the young library grew by such leaps and bounds, that it threatened to burst its seams in the too confining rooms. Worried heads got together searching for a more spacious habitat. Question of the hour: Where was enough room'to house the growing giant? Nobody could answer- nobody knew. At last the worried heads heaved a weary sigh, threw up their baffled hands, and transplanted the library from the south to the north end of Fraser Hall. This was temporarily convenient, but time marched on. Now library books have a property common to bacteria under favorable conditions, leave one alone, turn your back, and there are fifty-called by some occult process. This or a reasonable facsimile hap- pened, because eight thousand books soon shelved themselves in the north rooms of Fraser. At this point, we change our scene in prder to narrate the next step in the evolutionary process of K.U.'s library. From high Mt. Oread surrounded by blue haze and level farm fields we turn eastward to the snowy streets of Boston, time 1891. Via the imagination, we take the liberty of constructing a moment important to the history of a college, which, if you asked a Bostonian, was situated in some remote place, probably infested with savages. A lawyer, whom for lack of information and for story's sake, we will call Mr. Harcourt, had just com- pleted an eleven-year task. At last he had finished untangling the lengthy and complicated will of one Mr. William B. Spooner, who had died a decade pre- viously. Pince nez on nose, pen in hand, he carefully signed and sealed the last letter which officially in- formed the University of Kansas of Mr. Spooner's bequest, a bequest unparalled in United States history at that time-3B100,000 to a state university. For- tune had smiled on the Sunflower State. Fame, as so often is the case, accompanied money? the lafgest papers in the country gave space to the Cinderella story, congratulatory letters poured in. All the while the college's board of regents was transfixed with QIITIHZCIHCDE. 297 Eventually, when realization seeped in, watch fobs twirled at an astonishing rate, heads wagged, and everybody talked at once. How should the fortune be spent, how many buildings would it buy, did somebody say it ought to be invested? One poor soul, and our heart reaches out to him, wanted to install a street car system up Mr. Oread. Oh, the barrage of looks and language that must have de- scended on his head! A street car system, indeed. It was eventually agreed upon that from part of the fund a library should be built. And it was. Shiny new Spooner Library, now defined vaguely as Spooner-Thayer Museum, stood completed on Oc- tober 10, 1894. Wonders did not cease here, however, for with a seeming abba-cadabra, the volumes which the library housed had increased to twenty thousand, two and a half times as many as Fraser ever had! To indicate the passing of some twenty-five years before the third and last act of our story takes place, we insert a piece of information applicable to univer- sity libraries in general. The impetus for the library system came from the great German universities, where students during their educational life spent the entire waking hours of their day. America adopted the German methods, whereby the professor recom- mended his student to the library for source and sec- ondary materials, and verification. By this system, the library is the hub and mainspring of the university, all else depending on, and branching out from it. Admittedly, American students have modified this system a good deal. Very well, twenty-five years have ticked away bringing us up to the early l920,s and the short- skirted coed. Spooner Library by this time had lost its brand new look, in fact a few grey hairs appeared on close scrutiny. Poor old building, worrying, no doubt, where it would put its next book in the already overflowing rooms. All things change, the old must give way to the new, and Spooner Library was no exception. Once again committees met in search of a bigger and better sire and building. Horrified little gasps were heard when it was suggested that old Snow Hall be torn to the ground to provide a site for the new building. But the world rolls on in spite of horrified, little gasps. Snow Hall was razed and from its ashes like a phoenix bird rose such a library as Kansas had never seen, massive grey walls towering high, tall-paned fC01zri1merl 072 Page 3041 T H 298 lHl VHIE OOD afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is KFKU, the .broadcasting station of the Uni- versity of Kansas at Lawrence at Lawrence. Thus begins the twice-daily broadcast from Mount Oread -be it a Spanish lesson, a book review, a musical program, or a pep rally. So, by the magic of radio, Kansas University is able to carry its voice to any- one that cares to listen throughout the Middle West -in fact, according to one ham listener, all the way to the Philippine Islands. . A fairly early entrant into the radio field, KFKU broadcast its first program December 15, 1924, from its own studios in the electrical laboratories and over t ur Il.ElliiWi ZW Naifrm flfekwr its own transmitting towers. In those early days the station went on the air whenever it wanted and with any kind of educational or informative program. But by 1928 the two lofty and picturesque towers on the west end of the campus had become obsolete, and since then KFKU has shared time and transmitter with WREN. In a year or two it hopes to move into more elaborate quarters in the new engineering re- search laboratory. Programs from the University station, though full of Variety and interesting to almost any age group, are not meant primarily for student entertainment but for adult education. They are intended to give the folks back home at least an inkling of the K.U. enlightenment. Of course, now with the war emer- gency, KFKU is cooperating fully with the defense authorities. It is the hope of Program Director, Mr. Harold G. Ingham and his assistant, Miss Mildred Seaman, that the station will be able to do its part in one of radio's greatest wartime duties-the main- tenance of cultural standards even in crisis. Miss Seaman doesn't pretend for a minute that the station's talent is professional. In fact she wants to make it quite plain that she and all the student an- nouncers, student technicians, and faculty advisers are amateurs, that they all have to learn by trial and error. The errors are not a big item, but they do furnish amusing memories-for instance, the violin- ist who started practicing as the broadcast began, or the group that read halfway through their script, firmly convinced that they were on the air, and could hardly be persuaded to begin over when the time really arrived, or the half hour program that was over in twenty minutes. Confused signals, crackling papers, and frantic whispering are all part of the fun and experience. But, concludes Miss Seaman, we're improving each year. And if you listen, you'll have to agree. The tedious piano music and dull lec- tures are bad dreams of the past.

After losing to Bill Hodge and his hustling Phi Psi crew in the opening game 37 to 30, the purple-clad Fijis came back with two clean cut vic- tories, 33 to 29 and 45 to 40, to garner the 1942 cage title. It was the third straight championship team for Chain Healy, Larry McSpadden, and Roscoe Ham- bricg the second for Wally Hinshaw and Swede Olson, and the first for husky John Conley. Over a three year stretch, the Phi Gams have a record of 39 triumphs in 43 starts. The Phi Psi five made up of Hodge, Kyle, Hall- berg, Meade, and Krum made a splendid showing, but it wasn't quite good enough to upset the great Phi Gam stars. Phi Psi stepped into the finals after taking a thrill- ing game from Beta Theta Pi 36 to 29.

Newman I defeated Pi Kappa Alpha, who looked promising all season and was considered to have a fair chance for championship honors, with a score of 34 to 21 to gain admittance to the semi-finals. Phi Gam then won from them 37 to 32 to appear in the finals, although junius Penny, Newman standout, sank nine field goals, and Larry McSpadden, Phi Gam scoring ace, was held scoreless in the contest. In other A team playoff games, Phi Psi won from Carruth hall 45 to 24, Phi Gam beat the Hell- hounds 39 to 22g and Carruth won from Alpha Tau Omega 28 to 24.

They say he's still in there someplace and on windy nights you can hear a voice wailing, Lemme outa here! And someone else, they say-nobody knows who -ate dinner there one evening and died a few hours later of a mysterious malady. And the most Vivid tale is that of a girl who com- plained of a sore throat and who was subsequently given a tonsilectomy, appendectomy, tuberculin and flu vaccines, sunlamp treatments, alcohol rubdowns, and massages. It's a fateful decision, but last year 3090 students used their better judgment and chose to enter rather than face an 8:30 exploration along the river Styx with Odysseus. For in that Indiana Limestone structure is a 35250,- 00O investment in the health of our student body. That amount covers the diversified illnesses of all . ZW 20401617 .Sokwdea those desirous of collecting dividends on their Sia- year investment. At the student's behest, Watkins hospital treats blisters, chigger bites, stomach ache, flu, snakebite, pinkeye, red noses, frozen ears, and bruised athletes, gives vaccines, R.O.T.C. and preliminary C.A.A. exams, instructs in emergency home nursing, takes fingerprints and X-rays, gives minor and major opera- tions, tests new serums, and even offers to solve personal knotty problems. In brief, Watkins Memorial hospital is a haven and solace for minor and major mental or physical ailments. But it has not always been so. Back in the bustle days of 1904, a student was stricken with smallpox. He was promptly isolated in a cabin on an island in the Kaw and there remained an outcast until he recovered. Knowledge of this prunitive hospitalization was not long in spreading throughout the state. There was irate criticism in no uncertain terms. Subsequently, in the fall of 1906, three pioneer- ing professors organized the Student Benefit Associa- tion. To it each enrolled student gave 50 cents, the sum of which was paid for the benefit of sick students. In 1908, the Benefit Association expanded into the Hospital Association and the fee was raised to 352. In the fall of that year, the Board of Regents recorded approval on opening a hospital in a house near the campus. The supervision of this stepchild was taken over by the University a year later. But the rapidly-growing health service remained ifl kflffe-PFIHIS Llrlfil 1919, when Dr. Eugene Smith assumed the first position as fulltime director of health supervision. Organization was thenceforth routed into systematic channels. The institution took the final step in 1931. At that time, Mrs. J. B. Watkins gave to the University the present hosital at an original cost of 356,000 for the building and 327,000 for equipment. She en- dowed two sun rooms and the Watkins' Nurses Home in 1937. This final product of the work and dreams of many men is one of the finest student hospitals in the country. Witness to the fact is the approval of the American College of Surgeons and the American Medical Association, highest ranking medical body. The mechanics of the hospital explain its efficiency. The staff includes four fulltime physicians, two labora- tory and X-ray technicians, one pharmacist, three secretaries, six graduate nurses, two cooks, three maids, and eight students. To house the demand, the hospital supplies 65 beds, which may be reached through any of five doc- tors' examining rooms, the operating room, X-ray department, laboratories, or physiotherapy room. Whether expressed by them or not, University students appreciate their hospital and utilize its facili- ties more each year. Last year, in the 271 days the hospital remained open, 84 per cent of those paying the health fee used the dispensary service, a total of 36,342 visits were made at the dispensary. Although most frequent calls are made for diseases of the respiratory system, the hospital is equipped to treat diseases of the body as a whole, the skin, the musculo-skeletal system, the cardiovascular system, the digestive system, the organs of special sense, and many others. But these are all statistics, the surface aspects. For this is a hospital with a soul. The main artery of this magnanimous soul is Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the Health Service.

Probably the University's nearest ap- proach to practical democracy, the in- dependent co-ops are operated entirely by and for the members even to the extent of planning menus and deciding when they should buy a new cook stove.

Members are drawn from all schools, all activities, and all creeds, in an effort to obtain a truly representative group: Membership application lists accrue, but they never grow long. When a sufiicient number of men apply for membership, a new house is started. Fifty years ago, a man's prestige in Lawrence was measured by the size of house he owned. Consequently ynany houses of 15-20 rooms were built. To- day those houses, white elephants to real estate dealers, are being converted into independent cooperative houses. Rent is low, and many of the houses are in excellent condition. The University itself is hoeing a long part of the row toward better living for independent students with its own cooperative housing program. The Uni- versity's first residence hall for men was established in the fall of 1940, when Battenfeld, Carruth, and Templin halls were opened for occupancy. Battenfeld hall was built by Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Battenfeld in memory of their son, john Battenfeld, who died while a student at the University. It houses approximately 50 men. Car- ruth Hall was formerly the home of Chancellor E. H. Lindley, and Templin Hall is the old Brynwood place, rebuilt with contributions from University alumni. Newest addition to the family of University residence halls is Joliffe hall, which began functioning only this semester. Joliffe hall, is the building once occupied by the University club and which was the home of the Acacia fraternity the past two years, was made LAWRENCE STUDIO Official Photographer for Organizations 727 MASS. 451 303 possible through the gift of O. joliffe, an alumnus of the University, Residence in a University dormitory is gained by application, admission be- ing granted upon a competitive scholar- ship basis. Actual operation of the halls is very similar to that of the independ- ent co-op houses, the chief difference being in the extent of University con- trol in matters of membership, buying, and scholastic requirements. The non- existence of rent, and the use of Uni- versity heat and light facilities, makes possibleliving in the dorms at a cost even lower than that incurred in inde- pendent cooperative houses. Plans are being made for still a fifth University dormitory for men. Backers of the movement, such as Prof. Olin Templin, secretary of the endowment association, have visions of more and more scholarship dorms for men, with additions being made continuously un- til every man who desires and can qualify for this type of cooperative liv- ing is admitted. It is men of Olin Templin's caliber, working with ambitious students, who are repainting the picture of the inde- ALWAYS HOTEL Y H K IN TOPEKA IF Y0 Kunz, WHAT!

The necessity of working for board and room is still an obstacle in the path of the independent student in his march toward better living.

They suffer for this insubordination later when the doctor justifiably refuses to give a class excuse. This is only an added precaution to prevent the student who may not yet be well from exposing others and per- haps himself to further infection. One of the outstanding manifesta- tions of the progressive spirit of the hospital is its recent participation in the test of a newly discovered influenza vaccine supplied by the Rockefeller laboratories. This experiment called for inoculation of about 1,000 students following a mild Hu epidemic last win- ter. The vaccine proved effective in all but five of the cases, which may have been attributed to inoculation after the virus was already active. The department of physical educa- tion is particularly indebted to the hos- pital. A specially-appointed doctor gives his services to maintain the physi- cal well-being of the athletes. The athletes. The hospital returned to active participation last year john Buescher, suifering from a carbuncle on his knee, Bob Johnson, with a severely sprained ankle, Hub Ulrich, ailing with a shoulder injury, Marvin Sollenberger, out of competition with glandular fever, and Harlan Altman, conhned with a rib injury. To the doctor's con- stant vigilance, K.U. may attribute part credit for a fast, tireless group of athletes. Another step to protect the safety of the student body was taken last year in giving tuberculin tests to all food han- dlers on the campus.

Mrs. jones and Mrs. Reynolds would have been even more surprised if they had been in- formed that the grade average for Joe's entire fraternity, though not the highest among the social fraternities, was half way between B and C, considerably higher than the all-rnen's average. Joe was surprised that there was no hazing period, that he had heard of as Hell Week, preceding initiation. In fact, such hazing had been very limited all year and moreemphasis had been placed on correcting the incapacities of the pledges and developing their weak characteristics and improving their per- sonalities. Then too, Joe had learned that it took quite a lot of diplomacy to live day in and out with fifty boys. The fraternity initiation service emphasized brotherhood and character not the paddle. joe really should have felt it his duty to live up to the reputation he had in Centerville. Perhaps he would have spent his afternoons drinking cokes and riding around the campus in con- vertibles if he hadn't have had classes until 4:30 each afternoon, attended in- tramural practices, gone to organization meetings, and once in a while trying to catch up on some of the sleep he J I Q I HOTEL ELDRIDGE PHONE 88 0043 giffs of disfincfion for All Ocassions Rankin Drug Co.

He could have gone out drinking and carousing every night if he hadn't have had to spend four hours a night on bookwork, to help carry on the busi- ness of the fraternity, to attend the Men's Student Council meetings, and to help in the Engineering School poli- tics. Of course, if he hadn't have had anything to keep him busy, he could have lived up to the popular conception of the typical fraternity man, that is, with .1530 more spending money a month than his parents could spare him.

His grades dropped from his high school record, but only to a B average as do the grades of most ofthe small- school valedictorians.

The annual Law School Day celebration has developed into the Bur- dick Day Banquet, held each spring in honor of the oldest member of the faculty, Doctor Burdick. Due to world conditions the school has lost in numbers, but not in vitality. Beyond the war lies another period of profound social and economic changes, and already changes in the law curric: ulum have been made in anticipation of such eventualities. As Doctor Bur- dick says, a nation can be no greater than the prevailing character of its courts. Strange codes of justice have emerged in other countries. The funda- mental legal principles of an untram- meled American judiciary must be dis- played in days to come as a pattern of social and political reconstruction.

Shakespeare's naming the play as he did was, no doubt, a sign of his genius. You or I, for instance, might have written a play and titled it plain old The Sixth of january, not realizing there was any other name for that day. Live and learn, I always say. But I still wonder why the play was named Twelfth Night? In all justice, I should mention that the audience applauded the company 307 back for two curtain calls, although it was purely from force of habit, I think. After the curtain had been drawn the second time with nothing interesting happening except that the cast were up there in a line bowing apologe- tically, the audience turned to go home, and I with them. Now, having dealt to my satisfac- tion with this particular presentation, I should like to compliment the Depart- ment of Speech and Drama for begin- ning the practice of bringing in road companies at least once a year. Even though their choice was not happy in this particular case, I'm most eager to endorse the idea heartily, and I very much hope that it will be continued. For those of us who find it impossible, or at the best, inconvenient, to run over to Kansas City to take advantage of their theater season, such a practice could do much to relieve our isolation. For next year, however, I should like to suggest that the engagement of the company of some currently popular Broadway production would be more welcome and more of the calibre of the 'And I'd rother not be told.

Undefeated entrants into the C team playoffs were Phi Kappa Psi Cf Phi Gamma Delta C, and Beta Theta Pi Phi Delta Theta C won the right to appear in the playoffs by vir- tue of a post-season win over Phi Kappa Psi D. Both teams had pre- viously dropped a game in regular play. The curtain is also being dropped on the intramural volleyball season. As this article is being written, the Hill volleyball teams are playing their final matches before the playoffs begin. At this point, the Faculty team and Sigma Alpha Epsilon remain unde- feated. Teams which have dropped only one contest are Phi Gam, Phi Delt, Phi Psi Beta, Triangle, and Delta Tau Delta. With winter activities drawing to a close, intramural sports enthusiasts are beginning to look forward to the base- ball and swimming seasons. Both of these sports are scheduled to begin about the first of April. The Finesi' in Dry Cleaning We are always ready to clean, press, and repair your garments. Dhono 16 75,1vleH..,......

Sime heard him, but he didn't stop. His legs kept right on moving. He'd almost reached the garage when a shot rang out. The blast was followed by a scream of pain and terror, as Sime rolled to the ground. He was crying now, not so much because of pain, as of fear. He knew that whoever had shot him would be down to investigate in a minute. He'd go to jail, and then, probably to the reform school. Sime! Sime! came his brother's voice. Where are ya, Sime? Here, jim, over this way. What happened? 'Tm shot, but, Christamighty, I'll tell ya about it later. Help me get outta here now! Their combined efforts enabled Sime to walk. They staggered into the alley. Then in a second, they were lost again as they made their way between two houses. They emerged again onto the street, and crossed rapidly to the other side, only to disappear again between the houses. I've got to stop, jim. I can't go no further. We've got to, Sime. They'll catch us sure if we stay here. Cain't help it. I cain't go on. Well, all right, but I'm afraid it's gonna be just too bad for us. Letls hide behind those lilac bushes. They might miss us if we hide good. Struggling now, they managed to gain the bushes, which stood in fragrant silence by the porch of a large white house. Ya comfortable now, Sime? Yeah, but my leg hurts like hell. Well, grit your teeth and keep your handkerchief over the hole. I'll be back in a little bit. Where ya goin'? For Christ's sake, 309 don't leave me here alone. I cain't even walk. You'll be all right. I'm a goin' back and see what they're a doin'. Then, if they pick up our tracks I'll let 'em see me and let 'em start chasin' me. They'll never catch me, and I'll get 'em clear outta this neighborhood. You just be quiet. I'll be back for ya. jim rose, and noiselessly departed. He was half way across the street when a large sedan shot around the corner at the end of the block. Momentarily he was frozen with fear, then he leapt for- ward. Nor was he any too quick, for the malicious beam of a spotlight pierced the shadows where he had stood, and then pursued the course of the now fleeing figure. He ran wildly, as one does run when fear is gripping his heart. Between houses, across streets, down alleys, he tore like one insane. He didn't know how long he had run. Finally, he real- ized that there was no one after him. He stopped and fought to catch his breath.

Iii!!! VISITATION Sand dune, living, restles, hungry heaps, Slowly pursued and swallowed tiny patches of green along the shore of Lake Michigan, While grey-bluewaters watched the endless, unfair struggle And gulls soared overhead, majestic and unconcerned. To this wilderness came men with charts and dreams and surveying instruments, For here they planned to build a steel mill. Now the sand dunes face a foe much stronger than tiny patches of green Alien sounds rise. Shouting men, and clang of digging tools and machinery Drown the even thunder of waves pounding on hard, wet sands at the shore line Spotted with driftwood and decaying fish. The harsh, shrill squealing of the gulls is stilled , And tiny lizards Hee before the heavy tread of stranger. Man-made towers lunge at the sky, and exhale thick clouds of smoke, Soot tints the sands, sometimes silvery, sometimes black. Steel must be made for bridges and buildings-and guns And sand dunes must retreat before the march of working men Who want steel to push to the sky, and to probe the earth for its treasures. Sand dunes are not productive, they destroy Tiny patches of green along the shore of Lake Michigan. When I walk through the dunes, and climb to the top of the highest, So that I may look at the distant mills With a dirty city huddled close, as a child huddles close to its parents For the mills are parents of the city. CWorkers must have a place to live, so they built one After they built the mills.D Sometimes I wonder. Steel is used for bombs and shells and guns Someday, maybe, the steel will return to the place where it was born For steel mills are military objective. Then the dunes will sweep in and over ruined mills and a city of dead men And tiny lizards can frolic and sun themselves, unafraid While grey-blue waters roll along a sandy shore, and watch An endless, unfair struggle between sand dunes and green patches along the shore of Lake Michigan. But all this is pure speculation And I must not spend too much time here For I go to work on the midnight shift and the sun is almost set. Bill Feeney. THE JAYHAWK GILPIN S HEAVENLY ADDRESS Good gentlemen and saints, now that the plates With speed phenomenal have disappeared, And on the table only wine awaits The lip-such mellow wine the curling beard . Of Bacchus never touched!-I can afford My happy thanks for opportunity You gave me of enjoying the rewards Of heaven while still living and still free. CI fear the messenger from climes remote Made evening copy with his airy tread, My office colleagues were amazed to note His gaudy wings of most unnerving spreadb Aware that time allowed me is at end, You have invited me to stay and Hy With blessed choir, allow me to extend Again my grateful thanks, and my reply. 1 My late grandfather said that heaven would shine With towered castles perched on sparkling mist, It does. My father said there would be wine And angels playing harps of amethyst. Yes, radiant seraphs flap in holy droves And pour ecstatic praises on the walls Of marble, pour champagne in sacred groves And mention God who floats in distant halls. I scarcely dare believe that this is real, So well my kin defined the pure extent. I wonder at your quite excessive zeal In thus retaining an establishment So long outmoded, and don't understand How you can bear this beauty so profuse It isn't beauty any more. My hand I olfer you in friendship, but refuse. I know my rugged heaven is a ring Of wrinkled ground where tulips flame and die, And that my harp is but a slender string Of vine. Have you forgotten, here on high, How puddles can be most magnificent? Your heaven is too perfect. I'm a rough Reporter. I have faults-my life is rent With faultsg your fields are not impure enough For me. Ah, when I die, my dust of sins Inter beneath a yard of singing grass . Long-haired and cool, unkempt with hyacinths And doughty marigolds in scraggled mass! If my unknown, immortal soul can't rage Against a wrong, or roll in honest weeds Up here, I'll join the blackened equipage Of Lucifer! Now there's a man who needs A little help! You think that I would choose To suffocate mid these resplendent spires? l'd rather fry a bit and introduce Reform! For me, no hallowed, chanting choirs! No. I, George Gilpin, citizen of Earth, Return where I can hurl the precious dirt With mocking taunts into the fuming skies! How delicate is man! How truly girt With clinging weakness-but observe how wise This clod who knows he lives in paradise! Ilre Nerbilt MAY 1942 321 RECENT NIGHTS AND DAYS I The jazzy 'Twenties soaked in gin Gave the 'Thirties its cardinal sin-- Trivialityg our interests Were configuration of liquor and sex, Tired of religion and starved from tradition We sought up-to-date means to perdition. Some swore that we'd found perpetual motion In millions of cars running from ocean To ocean, technocrats talked of leisure, We were too busy having pleasure Until Black Friday and depression Took our money and spoiled our good time. Foreign affairs were as melodramatic As radio murder halted by static, While America licked domestic sores China and Spain fought wars Against the Fascist. Then as bombs fell On England, we muttered, War is hell, Debated on the edge of world nightmare, Some of us pictured ourselves as fair Shining champions girding for Y A reconstruction without war, A pacifist crusade after blood had dried When we should join the winning side. Intrepid Lindbergh strode the nation With dishonor for compensation. And McCormick froze Chicago's heart Through his Tribunicial art. Our pledges of peace were righteous prayer, Ethnocentrism would never dare To prophesy Japanesque aggression. II Now we make A hurried tenuous prayer, take A hasty counting of beads, and fight. Certain appeasing leaders delight In tellings us bedtime stories, their goals To quiet our inexperienced souls, To nursery rhyme us to sleep, But the only way we'll keep Our courage is to know the facts, The average citizen often reacts Unfavorably to buncombe. And why Do some think that we can only die For factory-made slogans, pompous and pat? We don't want to fight for the same reason that We buy a brand of breakfast food. Courage and insight are what we need, If you have either, you are welcome, If neither, be very quiet, for some Are dying sudden deaths, and they Do not want slogans sono vote, But men. Our hands covered eyes When explosive greetings, dropped from skies By race of jingoes and poets shattered The concept that only one hemisphere mattered. As the gray battleships were sinking It seemed we should have to change our thinking. III This war seems an impersonal fight With too many men, struggling without Differential passion, yet they Are trying to arrive somewhere or to stay In places they like, normal men Do not fight wars for pleasure, to win Money or medals, this is not To be a long-winded argument Calling for packaged and sealed desire, It's more than that, we aspire To seriousness for several years, And to many of us it even appears That war is not ended with armistice, That still there is need to fight for a peace. Yes, there are the followers Of .ftatm quo whose peace abhors Growth if accompanied by change, But we only wish to arrange Things, to establish an order Without a Polish Corridor. IV We are fighting for another lease of freedom, The primordial legacy has suddenly come To an end, now if we would live These lives, we must certainly give A roulette chance to death. Men Have always done things and then Regretted doing them, but this Is what we would do again, to complain is To attack painfully developed Insight. We thought that America should fight, We entered the war with as much vision As we use in raising our children, And we shall see that the war does not Destroy the goals for which we fight. When novelists, sensitive men Of good will, vaguely begin To imply resurgence, let us think Before we drown the world in drink, Triviality usually dies With the coming of war's dead seriousness. Steinbeck and Dos Passos raise great Hope, for in the crisis what we want Are courage and insight, action Is primary now-we must exceed reaction Of bolted door to fistg once men Were not afraid of courage, that is our sin. jagannath said: 'This is right, To keep Me in thy heart, and tight!'

I want to lie in the grass again, with an unopened book beside me, and drink in the sun as lazily as only students can. I want to toil vigorously at third-base, and sweat freely and delightfully until I've reached my usual quota of bruises. I want to kiss in the moon- light and find again that blondes and brunettes are equally fascinating under the stars. I want to fight again that tortuous classroom sleep. But this old promise of vernal joys is disturbed by an emotion new to my collegiate existence-a desire for understanding of my own soul. It is a question that every generation of students has had to answer as a personal evaluation. What shall I do, now that America is at war? The other day I received a letter from my brother stationed in Camp San Luis Obispo, California. Here is part of it. If seasons have no mercy for a student, you can picture a soldier's lot in sunny C??D California where the temperature is like a teasing college gal. One day spring sends the proverbial fancies of woo up and down a rookie's spine, he sheds his longiesg the next morning all emotion and even decent thoughts fade with a biting wind and a curtain of fog which seems to say, I'll rise soon in this theatre of war and the show will begin. However, many lovely days have warmed our training and I suppose we should really be quite grateful to the bad ones for locking all thoughts of wine, women, song and civilian dilly- dallying from us. This is one of the bad days, but luckily I got a pass into-camp with a friend and we Went to the Field House, shored and showered, then came to the Service Club for a T-bone mit walnut cream pie. From the sublime to the ridiculous-we go back at 10: 50 to our bivouac area where all the night through we'll coax sleep beneath a rain-soaked tent and damp blankets. Since last Tuesday we have been camping out Cah, that sweet civilian term used to mean leisure and picklesj. Here at Ft. Ord we are on a firing problem, but we're supposed to return to Obispo be- fore the end of the month. Of course one never knows what the big shots have cooked up and we won't be amazed if we find ourselves boating soon, but per- sonally I don't think that is likely. It's shaping toward that end, tho'. I am still in radio. I would have had an advance- ment in December had I stayed in, but now several huge changes have been made and Ilm still just a 4th specialist. I slipped easily into the old groove and have been working like hell. My application for Ofh- cers' Training has gone in but I'm not too optimistic. The army is rather unpredictable. Should I be for- tunate and be accepted it would mean schooling in either F. A. or Quartermaster Corps-or perhaps as administrative officer. My best friend has left and is a student in the Air Corps. You certainly do have a full . schedule. I hope you swing the in- M come tax payment. It seems that we folks are always trying to hurdle something with money the chief barrier. But: cliche or not, it's good for us. I often review our history- our ups and downs-and always come out with the feeling that we're on top, no matter how threadbare the purse. Five of us for Uncle Sam! Well, that's something. My chief worry is that worry may do harm to mother and dad. I hope not. Recently-'ve been learning a great deal about the firing end of the artillery. Having spent my first I3 weeks as a cannoneer, I now can appreciate it in my present job as radio operator for a Liason section, going out to observe enemy Cso-called jun nowb movements, and send fire missions into the command post. Then I've been going out with the survey sec- tion to learn how they operate, in order to plot the firing. It's all interesting and last night we had some thrilling first-hand experience with actual firing. - So the midwest ir aware! Ratner certainly upheld that statement. Even in California we've been hearing about the controversy. Guards out here are as thick as Hies. It's heartening, tho', to witness the calm of all the guys, who carry on like boys at a game, altho' they know they may be in actual war at any moment. Lucky you to be able to see a stage show. Hope Macbeth comes your way. By the way, I thought fCo1zzinued on Page 3822 HERE it stands, simple and erect, a pile of stones and an inscription, there on the nose of the hill within sight of all but seen by few. But stop a mo- ment. Quizzes can wait and springtime toc.. Come and stand with me in the shadow of this mute me- morial. Let us do homage to the past. How old are those stones! How much they must have seen! One wonders from what tall building that white one has looked down on freshman and senior alike, on horse and buggy and convertible coupe. Yet here it is with others from different buildings-K.U. in microcosm -a perpetual rallying place where new and old may meet. lt has not always been thus. There was a time when the Kansas tradition lived in every heart and no reminder was necessary. But as new generations took possession of Mount Oread they demanded some simple and natural way of expressing K. U. history photo by V Yarnell ay ,aa new and centering K.U. activities. In 1908-9 when Sachem and the Men's Student Council were formed the project was much talked about, but nothing was done. It was not until after the World War that an intense loyalty movement resulted in a large being built on North College Hill from the stones of that first building. But even the best laid plans often go awry. Some workmen found the marker covered by grass and, not suspecting its significance, ground its stones into con- crete that now inheres in the sturdy sides of Corbin Hall. The old student dream, however, was not to be so easily thwarted. Prof. Frank E. Melvin sug- gested that a cairn of native limestone be erected. Such commemorative piles are found in the far places of the world-in China, Egypt, and on the Jordan. Indeed it was at such a pile of stones on the Joseph KC01zli1zued on Page 3832 330 lllllll UN Illlllll Well known lllustrotor ond Eoster Poroder pre- sents views on pulchritude Gilbert Bundy-a product of the Middlewest.

THE JAYHAWKER May 8, 1942 2 West 67 Street New York City Mr. James R. Surface University of K8-11535 Lawrence, Kansas Dear Mr. Surface: I hope that in selecting these five girls over the others that I haven't gone wrong through lucky or unlucky photography. It's so hard to sense from these small photographs those qualities of grace, coloring, vitality and natural charm of manner which really make for beauty. As far as facial beauty goes, every girl entered is so pretty it was hard to choose between them on that score. So, if I've made any obvious mistakes, to you who know the girls, I'll subscribe to any changes you feel like making. To me, the first four represent four definite types of American beauty, and if I were choosing a model I'd take the fifth girl because of sort of composite regularity of features. She could represent almost anything according to the mood. Thanks for giving me a chance to see the beautiful things. The last time I visited K.U. was in '29 and I must say there weren't ,any like these floating about the campus then. And I was less tired of glamour at seventeen than I am at thirty.

If you question some of the older professors on this hill, they will tell you that Phipps has been here ever since they can remember, and was an old man then. The general information that one can pick up is meagre, too. The old boy, it seems has always lived in his little stone house near the stadium. A long time ago, they say, he was an associate chemistry pro- fessor. Now, he is writing a history of the University, and raising tulip bulbs. That is all that I knew about Mr. Phipps until a few weeks ago. I was walking toward the Union Building last Fri- day-and just because it was a x sunny, lazy day I stopped by Mr. M W Phipps picket fence and stared at WW his glorious beds of tulips. At that moment the old gentleman himself came shuffling out of his house and down the front path. He labori- ously picked up the evening paper and scanned the headlines closely. Then he came over to the fence and said, That MacArthur, he's doing fine things. I managed a yes. Mr. Phipps was evidently in a garrulous mood for he continued, There was an- other MacArthur in the Spanish American War. He was a grand general, too, and a good one. Do you know what he did'for K.U.? UN-op, Well, he recommended that the United States Government make a onetime student here a general. General Frederic Funston, I remember hmm well. Fred was a little man not much over five feet two. But what he lacked in height he made up for in vi- tality. That boy was always a step ahead of everybody else. Of course, most people know that he won the Spanish battle in the Philippines practically single- handed. Fred was what the press called over- conHdent g but he never did say a thing that he didn't do. When Fred told the world he was going to cap- ture the Spanish rebel leader Aguinaldo, naturally the papers had their doubts. Well, Fred Funston with about six other men tracked Aguinaldo to his hiding place, and under unbelievable conditions, made the rebel chief his prisoner. That one incident had more than a lot to do with Hnishing the war. From then on the whole country adopted as their hero, K.U.'s Funston. You know, Kansas boys in the War of 1898 had a lot to do with building our reputation to what it is today. The Kansas Twentieth demonstrated to the rest of the forty odd states what it was to fight, and what it was to win. At first, they had to put up with discouraging treatment from their own countrymen, but after one year they had these same compatriots eating out of their hands. Why, do you know that everywhere the Kansas Twentieth went, from Topeka to San Fran- Gawea site, on their way to the Phillip- pines, people laughed at them? Their 'officers were insulted, and the poorly uniformed soldiers were called the Kansas scarecrows. 'Ad astra per astera' indeed. H Mr, Phipps paused a moment and with a quirk of his eyebrow said, Anyway the Twentieth was the first regiment ever mustered into.the service where not one man had to sign his name with 'his mark., Another thing I always like to remember might be of interest to you. The Spaniards in that war were taken by surprise and learned to dread the cry that tough Kansans gave on rushing into battle. It war Rock Chalk, Jayhawk, K. U .! I was reading a passage in a book the other day, that went something like this: 'When in stone and story, in speech and song, the great millions of Kan- sans yet to be, shall be told of Calumpet and Bagbag River, the fights from Caloocaa to. San Fernando, the broken beam, that victories all, a generous envy will swell their souls, to dare and do and die in other days of battle, which God grant may never come- . . Mr- PhiPPS SfOpped shortly, we stood there looking down at the bed of tulips. ' After a while he said, The University of Kansas began its work in 1866, that was one year after the Civil War ended, so we weren't involved in that.

MAY 1942 337 aah 2 7 No extras will hit the streets, no radio programs interrupted for a bulletin -most people will continue their daily struggle with life unaware that this nation's colleges are graduating another class - the class of '42. We, the class of '42, have had an interesting Odyssey thus far. We were born in the roaring twenties when jazz and gin were necessities, and the greatest problem facing the nation was that of prohibition- or the high school debate problem of whether or not installment purchasing was the right thing. Yes, when we nrst saw the light, it was this bright, scintillating light which breathed of lusty and luxuri- ous living. We stood at a most impressionable age in October of 1929 when father came home muttering -either that he had been financially slapped or that many of his friends had been. We added a new word to our vocabulary at that time- depression -and what did it mean? lt meant that Dad would not buy a new car this year, or that we would not go on a vacation this summer, or that we ate from a table served by some charitable organization. We heard and believed that prosperity was just around the corner. We heard it so often that we could not doubt its truth. Then a man strode into our lives named Roosevelt -elected President in 1932. He proceeded to do many things which were quite new to our fathers-and therefore to us. We guessed that these were rather illogical moves, and we were convinced that we would never be able to pay off the national debt, but at least Dad was selling more goods at the store, and the new cars came more often. Much more concerned with ourselves than with the state of the nation, we turned our eyes on the prospect of college. All arguments added to the conclusion that college was essential if we were to get ahead in life. All arguments ended with whether or not the folks could afford to send us. Some in the class of '42 came by their own hands, head, and heart. They bowed their necks, got a job and an education. Most of us came on the family payroll. College had many ingredients and we tasted them all. We studied, played, worked for various Hill organizations, and managed to keep ourselves busy whether it be with the enigma of the pin ball machine or an attempt to become a pilot in one semester of the CPT. We found hardships and joys. We made many friends and most of us made a few enemies. We lived on Mt. Oread with nearly four thousand students, we saw our freshman idols graduated and meditated the constantly changing sands in the hour glass of K.U. We have come to the end of the road. Life is not over, but school for most of us is. We now com- mence the process of life on our own, and the horizon is cloudy. Our nation is a part of a gigantic struggle for existence being waged between two different philosophies of life. We think that we are right, and we plan to do our bit in achieving a victory for our cause. We have not been schooled for war, but we have been schooled to believe and to fight for that which we believe. We now complete our formal education and begin our real one. Our Hrst lessons in life will be learned in various services devoted to the defense of our country. The task which lies before us might well cause a weak generation to blanch with fear and trembling. But we feel the faith that we shall not fail. And our faith is strength. These are perilous times in which lives are cancelled in thousands and not by units. Each of us realizes that we cannot enjoy for some time the quiet and peace for which we yearn. But we also realize that these are exciting times. History in capital letters is being made each hour and We shall have a role in the dynamic drama. No matter how hazardous-how dangerous our near future will prove, we know that from it we can earn the right to construct our own world, and we shall build a world in which we shall prove that wars are evil and not necessary evils. If it be true that every sacrince entails a corresponding gift, then our sacrifice will be our chance for existence and our gift will be the joy of life as we would have it. ,- af .4 F' Q 'Q L 1 E J JV ' 1.1 , N , .., -T 0 P A Mm ' ,f V, , 5 'L I x X . ,.. , ,Q , 25 J QQ .

Hutchinson ODERN design is the order of '42, but, but one unique Hill organization went modern some seven years ago-Clarence Peterson's own swing-style choral society, the Modern Choir. The choristers are a group of students who love to sing together for the joy of ir, and whose fancy favors the modern trend of music. Originally, the choir, as founded by Ross Robert- son in 1936, was a male octet, but soon a women's trio was added. Now the Modern Choir consists of twenty-odd voices, half women and half men, com- parable to a cross between Fred Waring's Glee Club and the Merry Macs. Although most of their songs are the Merry Mac type with a Fred Waring touch, special arrangements having from four to nine parts, written by maestro Peterson, give the choir an individual style of sing- ing. Mastering about 15 melodies yearly, they spe- cialize in songs that they like, and they like most con- sistently blues, sweet tones, and kick'l numbers. ini lnnlrl mimi pbotor by Yarnell Initiating a typical bi-weekly practice, informal harmony on a series of barber shop songs is followed by such tunes as Now and Then,', Blue Skies, and Temptation By intensive work, these choristers are able to learn almost any arrangement of any song with two or three hours' practice. Enjoyment, however, is their aim, and rehearsals are varied accordingly. The delight they get out of singing together is the secret of their campus-wide popularity-ethat same delight is wrapped in har- mony, tied with a smile, and delivered in song. Indicative of its great popularity, the choir receives many, many requests for appearances. The group likes to sing wherever there is an appreciative audi- ence, ancl K.U. is not lacking in these. The choir entertains at several scotch varsities and rallies during the year and is in great demand for all sorts of after- dinner programs. , Traditionally featured on the Annual Homecom- ing celebration broadcast, the Modern Choir sings on the air as well as on the stage.

MAY 1942 ITH this issue the lifty-fourth volume of the Jayhawker magazine takes its place along side the eight preceding magazine-annuals and the other forty-five publications which have recorded the journal of the Jayhawkers down through the years. The task of an annual is to report spot history at the time it is being made, and the magazine-annual takes on the additional task of entering into discus- sion of pertinent problems which have an effect on college students. With this issue the latter function of the JAY- HAWKER ceases. Things happen so fast these days that this year's expression of student opinion on the war and the world will be outmoded and out of step by the next time you open your copy. Now the JAYHAWKER assumes the role of an annual. It will be placed upon shelves and soon be joined by dust and cobwebs. But sometime each of you will again take it into your hands and peruse its pages. And if we have done the job well, you will find that each page Hoods your mind with memories and reminders of your college days. The JAYHAWKER does not die each springg it merely changes from an active to a passive garb. And its success depends on how well dressed it is for each occasion. This article on the JAYHAWKER is a history of history. The story of this magazine is one of dead- lines and headaches of pride and joy. As is true of every publication, there is an evil known as the dead- line. This devilish device was conceived by printers many years ago, and they support it faithfully with the contention that it takes more than two or three hours to make-up, print, trim, and bind an eighty-page magazine. The most effective invention in use against the deadline is that popular with contributors to the BURT15 CONARD G1LP1N CARMEAN YARNELL BROCK KREIDER WAGGONER osTR UM FITZGERALD 'Q'- o if sf -.-.gr 1 Everything that gocs into the magazine goes across the desk of editor, Jim Surface. Here assignments are made, copy edited, pictures measured, and other vital items handled. Business Manager, Duane Smith, handles the iob of both circulation and Sdvertisgng. His ready adding machine is constantly in use to keep the books alance . Dorothy Schroeter, secretary, has the job of seeing that all typing, calling, bookkeeping and innumerable other functions are working. l ifi.. f:lZ?'A 1 vw f 4 :K R ' E v-e,...a:.ar- effect, I have my story ready, but if you would give me a few more days, it will be in much better shape. The headaches come in the natural course of events whenever a staff of a few people try to create some- thing for a great number of people. The satisfaction, pride and joy come to everyone who takes an active part in the creation of a JAY- HAWKER-whether it be the contributor who sees his first copy in print, the advertising assistant who watches for the ad that he sold, or whether it be the editor and business manager nervously opening their first copy of an issue and counting the mistakes that they have made. It is always at this precise moment when each of them takes a solemn vow not to repeat his transgressions, but they come again. To work for the JAYHAWKER is a joy, and it is difficult to conceive of an editor who truly was glad to see it finished. In charge of the financial operations this year, and elected again for next year, was Duane Smith. Smitty proved his worth early by selling subscriptions at the rate which he had been repeatedly lectured, couldn't be done. Smitty also had charge of pulling in the advertisers whose contributions enable your magazine to have more pictures. Spencer Burris will team with Duane next year in publishing the fifty-fifth annual of this institution, Burt has done some excellent work for this year's magazine, and will certainly prove himself one of the very best editors. His task may not be an enviable one-faced with the possibility of a decrease in funds from reduced enrollment, but Spencer is not the kind to flinch from that type of a situation. Other members of this year's editorial staff who bid well for the editor's spot were John Conard, john Waggoner, and Dean Ostrum. Each of these did yeoman work for this year's issues, but we owe a special debt to Conard for his finger on the pulse and feet on the ground influence, we are indebted to Waggoner for continually-reminding us that there are still people of college age who do some indepen- dent thinking, and we are grateful to Dean Ostrum for -his willingness to tackle any story whether or not we waited until the last minute to plague him with our request. In a niche all of his own we would like to place a bust of Stan Kreider. This lad has untireingly dug out facts on the various schools and buildings of the University. To these painstakingly gathered facts he added a pinch of Kreiderese and served them up in MAY 1942 365 bs FIRST ROW: John Yarnell, John Conord, Don Ostrum, Glen Gilp'n, J' S f D S 'th S ' .

J ' as appealing a dish as the confines of rhetoric will allow. Over on the business side, Glen Gilpin carried most of Smitty's load which the manager was required to detail out. W. C. Hartley and Dick Carinean also have done great services to this year's volume through the financial channels. Only this praise can come to Dot Schroeter who as secretary had the task which can best be described as all work and no glory. To Dot falls the job of filing cards, telephoning contributors, artists, organi- zations, and everyone else with whom we must main- tain contact. Typing and bookkeeping are her neces- sary sidelines and serve to keep her busy at least 48 hours a day. The custom has grown up in recent years among Yarnell shooting JAYHAWKER editors to evaluate the stories of their respective volumes. This is a very hard task especially when the editor has such an unexcelled staff as this year's and when the editor is naturally foolish enough to like almost everything that he reads in the magazine. However, if we must make choices, the feature which I liked best was Stan Kreirler's offering in the first issue, The Story of a Building. A very close runner-up was jill Peck's ditty entitled, Oooo Those Latinsl' in the same issue.

Phi Gamma Delta, by its annexation of football and bas- ketball championships, has assumed the present lead- ing role with 850.35 total points. Following closely behind is Beta Theta Pi with a total of 848.73 points. Phi Kappa Psi and Phi Delta Theta are in third and fourth places respectively. The faculty, even without the services of some of their outstanding players, renewed their Hill volley- ball championship by defeating the Phi Gams in the finals. The faculty had earned the right to the finals by defeating Beta Theta Pi in the semi-final match. The Phi Gams decisively defeated the Sig Alphs, winner of division I, in the other semi-final match. The final match was hard-fought, and though the teams were somewhat evenly matched, the faculty left no doubt as to the superiority which was evi- denced by the final count of 21-16, 21-19. In the fall handball tournament finals, Beta Tom Walton defeated Phi Gam Chain Healy in straight games, 21-13, 21-4. Both finalists had had compara- tively easy preliminary matches and the meeting of the two marked the third time in the last four tour- naments that they had met for the championship. The annual track meet was won by the Blanks with 87 1f5 points with the rest of the teams closely Hin rnawmi WBA!! fmu bunched far behind. The final calculation of points for runner-up position was left out because of errors in original calculation. However, since there is an intramural ruling that a maximtun of fifty points be applied to the sweepstakes trophy, the effect of the changes is negligible. I In intramural softball, stand-out of the spring in- tramural session, Phi Delta Theta, looms as the team of the year. By their late season victory over the Pflugervilles, only other undefeated team of Division I, they clearly established themselves as favorites to annex the baseball crown, last year won by Phi Kappa Psi. The Phi Delts had mowed down opponents of division I with comparative ease as had the Piiuger- villes, which made their late season meeting the most important game of the regular season in division I. The game was close in its entirety as was expected, but by a late rally the Phi Delts finally managed to edge out or win 7-6. In Division II, Phi Kappa Psi, defending cham- pions and expectant finalists for this year, slowly dropped from the picture after an early season victory over the Betas, with later losses to Alpha Chi Sigma, Delta Tau Delta, and Phi Gamma Delta. After los- ing the first game of the season, the Betas assumed winning ways and succeeded in winning Division II. Until the last two weeks of play, the Delts, Betas, and Phi Gams were all tied for the lead with four won and one lost. The Beta-Delt game was a fast hitting affair with the Betas coming out on the long- end with an 8-7 score. This set the stage for the division championship game between the Betas and Phi Gams. The game was set off in the initial inning by a spectac- ular triple play unassisted by Beta john Short. The game was tightly fought until the last inning, when the Betas moved out in front and the final score stood 13-6.

WOMEN laid down their intramural weap- ons and agreed to a temporary peace at their annual W.A.A. Armistance Banquet on May 7th this year. The peace treaty officially concluded this year's war of the women. But, a war is not fought without battles between opposition forces, and the feudin' femmes were a fighting lot. Retreats were at a minimtun, and even the victorious found themselves slightly battered and bruised. Immediately following the fall attacks the winter seige set in. The first pitched battle was located on the basketball court. Here, Corbin Hall's mighty troops pushed through Kappa Alpha Theta's defense to take the organized house division title, but were set back by the I.W.W. forces, who claimed the All- University recognition. And on the sea, the naval forces of Pi Beta Phi and Kappa swam to success. Kappa took the golden cup in the final struggle. Standouts of the clash were Shirley Davis, IND and high point man, Lura Smith, KKG, Marty Shartel, Pi Phi, Peggy Davis, KAT, Allphin, Chi O, and Betty Allen, Alpha Chi. The deck tennis skirmish was led by Shaake, IND, closely followed by Davis, KAT, Bingham, Corbin Hall, Herriman, IWW, Shuss, Watkins Hall, Smith, KKG, and Howell, Pi Phi. The old veteran and winner again of table tennis singles is Shirley Irwin, KKG, who battled it out with Shuss, Watkins Hall, in the Hnal feud. Table tennis doubles also went to KKG. Badminton turned into a well matched conflict. Davis, KAT, tangled with and defeated Shaake, IND, in the finals to be hailed the winner. But Herriman and Jacobson both of I.W.W. forces, put up strong offensives. Herriman, last year's all-university high p0ir1f woman, defended her aerial dart title successfully against KAT Davis' challenge. And thus the war raged, and on into the SPflf18- pbolor by Yurnell 367 Q .,.,...lj..lLl.E.lllll 617 ,azz aaa Baseball troops were recruited and boasted such fighters as Jacobson, IWW, Ballard and Smith, KKG, Demint, Wells, and Struble, Corbin Hall, McClug- gage, Gamma Phi, Winn, J.

The battle was not completed at the time the jayhawker went to press, but the favorites were IWW, and Corbin, with Theta and Kappa mighty on defense. Confiicts, postponed on account of poor weather conditions, were scheduled with golf clubs, tennis rackets, and arrows, but not even predictions can be made about the outcome of these. At the banquet several girls received distinguished service awards.

Always ready with a smile, Miss Babcock is one of those professionally proficient, yet popular, professors. 1 Q Patience is her long suit and school-teaching her delight. A Phi Beta Kappa and a member of Sigma Xi, honorary scientific fraternity, Miss Babcock received her Ph.D. in mathematics from this university in 1926. She has been a member of the faculty here for more than 22 years. Miss Babcock doesn't care for movies and has an aver- sion to the word hobby. She insists that she has no hobbies,,' but admits that she loves to raise house plants, knit, sew, attend athletic contests, and take afternoon horse- back rides. She owns her own car Ca '57 Studebaker Dic- tator D, her own home 11.4 miles from the Hillj, and her own horse fa sorrel gelding called Sunny J. After being interviewed several years ago by a Hill stu- dent who was compiling statistical filing data for a local newspaper, Miss Babcock is rightfully distrustful of all reporters. She learned later the material would someday be used for ready reference in case of death. KHlHlllN IllllHINH Oh, not me, Kathleen Doering, associate professor of entomology, protested when she was told she must be inter- viewed for this sketch. I'm not interesting and further- more my life is far too prosiac for your magazine. But against her better judgment she made an appointment and thoroughly interviewed the interviewer before the hour was finished. Like her very close friend, Wealthy Babcock, Professor Doering is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi. Both love to ride horseback and are familiar sights on campus bridle paths. A native of Lawrence, with the exception of a few years following her birth in Cottonwood Falls, Miss Doering has taught every winter and almost every summer at the Uni- versity since l922. Besides teaching a full schedule of classes and working nights on research work, Miss Doering still makes fshe can't find itj time for -taking a difficult 5-hour course in bacteriology. Before her work became so heavy, Miss Doering spent her spare time in raising roses, refinishing old furniture, camping, hiking, and playing bridge. Now she finds her- self laboring endlessly with the task of the taxonomy of two families of insects. Although this classification will rake over a century to complete, Professor Doering continues to work -knowing well her job will have to be finished by another but happy with the satisfaction of knowing she is making some contribution to the great science she has chosen for her profession. write-npr by Ortmm IWHHSSUHS IU MNY.illYMHN slum If it's the wise man who will change his mind, N. Wyman Storer, associate professor of astronomy, must have plenty on the ball. He graduated from Wesleyan University in Connecticut with a chemistry major, but an elementary course in astronomy taken during his senior year fascinated him so much that he returned the next year to work for 3 master's degree in astronomy. Later he won a Fellowship to the Link Observatory in California and eventually re- ceived his doctor's degree from the University of the same state. This would-have-been chemist has been with the K.U. faculty teaching astronomy since 1935, Genial Mr. Storer is a quiet home-loving man, and a few minutes conversation with him will tell you he's extremely proud of his wife, delighted with his three children, and modestly boastful of hislittle vegetable garden behind his house. He amuses himself with amateur photography, is superintendent of the Plymouth Congregational Sunday School, and is an accomplished pipe organist. The February issue of the journal of Aeronautical Scievzcer contains an article by Professor Storer describing his latest invention and entitled A New Instrument for Celestial Navigation.

H. lINIl Completing his second year as assistant professor of Latin and Greek, I.. R. Lind has lost no time in building up an enviable reputation for himself at the University of Kan- sas. Born of Finnish parents in Trenton, New York, Pro- fessor Lind graduated from high school at Urbana, Illinois, in 1924 and received his doctor's degree from the Univer- sity of Illinois in 1936. Skilled in linguistics, Professor Lind reads Greek, Latin, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. He is secretary of a committe of the American Council of Learned Societies that has been preparing a Medieval Latin Dictionary, and is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, the American Philological Association, the American Classical League, and the Classical Association of the Middle West and South. Mrs. Lind is from Santiago, Chile. She has been in-the States for 18 years, and sometime after this war t-he Linds and their four-year-old daughter plan a trip to Chile. Modern fiction and gum-chewing, hold little charm for Professor Lind, and, according to himself, one of his greatest accomplishments of recent times was his ability to quit smoking last November. . An essayist and poet, Professor Lind has had some of his works published in Poetry: A Magazine of'Verre-top-n0tCh poetry periodical of this country, Tlaehbzdzex H ome Jormlal, The Sewanee Review, and Feoh-Quill Club pulDl1C21fI0U- phozor by Yarnell HlHlMlMHlHlH 369 1,u-N Hllll Wlll A woman who knows her own mind-and what to do with it, Betty West likes to be a good sport.

Bill Collinson's is all of that, and a little more. Bill's name Cincluding the Ripples D is almost synonomous with K.U. intramurals. For three years he has been a member of the Intramural Board, is now co-senior manager. In this capacity he coordi- nates the intramural program, ofliciates, settles dis- putes, and assumes responsibility. Not only that, Bill loves to play the game him- self, and any day of the year might find him fighting hard on the field, court, or diamond for Alpha Kappa Psi, business fraternity, of which he is a member.

He intends to enlist in the regular army this summer. MAY 19112 371 faawfazg HE fall of 1941 was not particularly different from any other fall. The trees turned yellow as usual, then disrobed. The birds flew south on schedule, and yes, school began. There were the usual parties, starting with the free-for-alls called open houses and coming to a climax in the winter formals. There were football games on cold, slaty days. And, then, on December 7, a war began. Sup- posedly this catastrophe would change everything at the University, but actually it didn't. Parties con- tinued to be a regular part of the University curric- ulum. Students still studied before quizzes and loafed between them. The picture shows The next book that caused a riot at the library was Pearl S. Buckis Dragon Seed. A gripping tale of a Chinese farmer, Ling Tan, and his family, and their experiences in war-torn China. At first, they cannot understand this new type of warg and they are not prepared to grasp its implications. But with the fall of Nankingg and the looting of the countryside, stark, realistic horror and understanding come. Following this there was a period of comparative calm. Then in March there was a virtual book bom- bardment. George Stewart let his protege, Maria, run rampant all over the Pacific coast, in Storm. Maria was a storm, so dubbed by a were not closed because of no at- M . young meteriologist who detected fefldailcei I10f did The ujfflly j0if1fSH the coming squall while it was just suffer from lack of trade. Life remained much the same at K.U. One aspect of that life I am here going to review. This article is a summary of the books that have been popular dur- ing this year, and of the records and songs that have won the hearts of the students. Sometime during the summer, A. J. Cronin brought forth The Keys of the Kingdom, a char- acter study of a lovable Scottish Priest, father Chisolm. The book was immediately popular. It offered a a thrilling and dramatic narrative, yet the style was calm, even soothing. Its philosophy was a new ex- pression of an age-old ideal, the ideal of toleration. Two more books were read, probably because of interest created by the movie portrayal of them. These were P. Marquand's H. M. Pulham Esqf' and Richard Llewellyn's How Green Was My Valley. The first of these is a brilliant, extremely well-realized satire on the Boston blue bloods. The second is a moving story of a family of Welsh coal miners. It is warm and human, filled with drama, and emotion. The next book to sweep the Hill was William Shirrer's Berlin Diary. In it are the experiences of the author, an American journalist, between January 11, 1934, and December 13, 1941- He ffaces the whole course of events that led to total war in Europe. His style is personal, told as a presentation of facts. It reads, as one critic said, like the scenario of a night- mare. a gust of wind and eye drops of rain. When Maria reached California she'd grown to be one whale of a storm. This book tells how the storm struck, and in a series of more or less uncorrelated incidents, told how the storm affected various humans in various walks of life. While Maria was whooping things up on the Pacific coast, Mary Ellen Chase gave the world Wind- sweptfi Windswept was a house on the Maine coast, located on a high promontory overlooking the sea, and the house itself is the heart, the core of the story. Windswept was built by the Marstons, and lived in by them for generations. The book is a chronical of the fortunes of the family and their friends. The scene changes. America is left behind in the next group of books. Nevil Shure in Pied Piper takes us to Europe. The story concerns an old man, John Howard, who by a series of peculiar circum- stances finds himself as the sole guardian of a motley assortment of children. He conducts them, after a number of exciting incidents, to England. The impos- sible task was accomplished. He'd led his children through the mouth of death. john Steinbeck lays the story of The Moon Is Down in nowhere, although a little imagination would probably put the scene in Norway. It is the story of an invader, presumably the Nazi machine who moves in and takes a town. It then goes on to ICo4zli11lzezi on Page 3851 THE JAYHAWKER Xl . 4 , 4' . Q .5 'A ,. ' LL is quiet on Parnassus and Mars has not yet interfered with the Muses, if the UniVersity's spring schedule of arty events-plays, concerts, and recitals-is an indication. Culture has gone on its merry way, bringing an occasional respite from studies and war worries, and maintaining morale. The more cultural affairs of the present season fall into three groups: those involving famous artists presented on the concert and lecture series, home talent musical concerts, and dramatic attempts of the University dramatics department and workshop. In the first group should be included the backstage- interviewers' delight-the San Carlo Opera Company, Angna Enters, and Helen Traubel. Carmen, the opera best known to the average highbrow-scorning American public, was presented by the San Carlo Opera Company with considerable success. Aside from the unromantic-looking lover, Don Jose, around whose protruding stomach Carmen wrapped herself most enticingly, the opera was as A tense moment in Night Must Fall I la ga, mga, good as an itinerary company could give. It is almost impossible to detect the exact brand of talent possessed by the .most unusual artist to appear on the Hoch stage this year--Miss Angna Enters. Miss Enters is her own scenarist, designer, director, and actor. What she does when in costmue is inade- quately and unimaginatively described as dancing. Her entire program is veiled in silence-that is, Miss Enters doesn't say a word. Her audience, on the other hand, frequently howls with delight at her hoydenish antics, chuckles at her apt portrayals of life in its more amusing aspects, and watches with rapt atten- tion her unfolding the evil mind or warped life. Probably the biggest name to appear on the Uni- versity Concert Course is that of Helen Traubel, lead- ing dramatic soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company. A woman of heroic build with red-gold hair, Miss Traubel was a thrilling sight as she poured out her rich opulent tones in songs ranging from Elsa's Traum, from Lohengrin, to Deep River. The three musical organizations on the Hill which contribute to the musical well-being of the student body-whether it is at a convocation, vesper service, or football field, presented their respective spring con- certs this year with a various array of talent and orig- inality. The Band Concert this year was given on March 25, vying with the robins as one of the first signs of spring. The program included a few of the usual con- cert pieces needed for backbone, and an unusually fine patriotic selection'of World I and II favorites. Dan Bachman read My Country 'Tis of Theel' with a musical background. The last group presented some of the best contemporary American compositions. The second spring presentation was that of the Uni- versity Symphony Orchestra in a highly successful program from the standpoint of both performance and choice of selections.

Students celebrate K.U.'s 20-16 upset victory over K-State by taking an undeclared holiday. 5. Kansas defeats Oklahoma Aggies in Kansas City to represent the Sth district in the Western Divi- sion N .C.A.A. playoffs. 4. Marjorie Rader wins W.S.G.A. presidency in heavy balloting. M.S.C. fills council by party caucus vote after the March 16 election-suspension bill. 5. Men's Student Council votes to abandon plans for 1942 Dandelion Day. 6. Presson Shane and Bob Allen are named Honor Men of 1941. 7. George The Cop Snyder retires after serving the University 11 years. 8. Nightshirt paraders rebel at pepmen's paddles. 9. Student supreme court bars David Whitney from Men's Student Council after long council argu- ment over alleged vacancy created by Bob McKay leaving school for the Army. - 10. Jimmie Lunceford and his Harlem Express beat ou the jive for junior Prom. Biggest news story of the year, based on student interest, community interest, state interest, or national interest, can be only one thing: Pearl Harbor. The attack, itself, of course, would not be so important were it not for the disaster's natural consequences. The inevitible consequences of that treacherous attack of December 7 are enough in themselves to fill a list of the ten biggest news stories of the year, but I have chosen to lump them all together into the one top point of interest. Confusion was the first con- sequence-then the declaration of war. University administrators wisely said, Keep your shirts on. Then an orderly registration came February 16, and the nation settled down to the business of lighting 3. Waf. za fam aaaa January 16 the Kamen led forth with headlines: K.U. Makes War Plans. Students Can Graduate in ZW Years. No Easter Letup-Schools Plan Long Summer Session. Dozen New War Courses Added for 2nd Semester. In an open letter, Chancellor Deane W. Malott urged patience, courage, and hard work. It is the fundamental duty of K.U. students to train themselves for maximum leadership, maximum understanding, and maximum service. To this end, the entire re- sources of the University are pledged . . . that we may emerge victorious and free. And there was the opening of the Navy's V-7 pro- gram, the formation of the Jayhawker Air Squadron, the Army Air Corps' new deferment plan forstu- dents, and the drop in student enrollment. No. 2. story is that of the student walkout. Stu- dent enthusias, sparked by a rousing 20-16 gridiron upset victory over Kansas State, reached its highest pitch the morning of Monday, November 7. After the biggest victory convocation in K.U. history, stu- dents staged a 30-minute sitdown strike in Hoch auditorium and refused to return to classes. Finally chants for a victory parade cleared the auditorium and a jubilant, celebrating student body followed the band out onto the streets to form a milling, surging parade which extended for a half-mile down Thir- teenth street and onto Massachusetts street. On Mas- sachusetts the demonstrating students obtained a pine coffin, wrote Malott on it, and paraded on north, eventually winding up in Central park for a pep rally. Street dancing followed, then two hours more of dancing in the Memorial Union building and an all-out attendance at afternoon football practice. Bringing all this on, of course, was the game in which Denny Gibbens scampered 83 yards to score on a kick-off return and Ralph Miller connected with 12 passes to spark the 20-16 victory over K-State. Holding down spot No. 3 is the jayhawker-Okla- homa Aggie clash of March 7 when Phog Allen's fCo1zti1zuecZ on Page 3782 'RI- Mary McCIeury-Queen Virginia McGill--Gloria Brink an O RECORDS were broken. No, none were broken-for the first time in twenty years. And it was windy. That didn't help. But the 1942 Kansas Relays were a success-if for no other reason than that they were the 20th an- nual Kansas Relays. The event has become a tradi- tion, and year after year draws the class of college and university track talent. 1942 was no exception. The Relays were held this year, however, under war conditions. This meant, because of reduced ath- letic budgets, that fewer schools entered the meet. Notably among the missing were Northwestern and Iowa, both of whom had previously entered teams every year since the Relays were founded in 1923, and Texas and Rice, the-teams which respectively carried off top Relays honors in '41 and '40. On April 18, nevertheless, a field of 200 univer- sity, 140 college, and 30 junior college athletes put on a good show of track skill for a comparatively small crowd of 4,000. Relays Queen and official awarder of all Relays trophies this year was Virginia McGill, Theta from Kansas City, Mo. Her attendants were Delta Gamma's Mary McCleary and Chi O's Gloria Brinkman. Miss McGill and her attendants were selected by the Uni- versity of Minnesota track squad. It is an annual cus- tom to have an outstanding Relays entrant pick the queen and attendants from pictures of University of Kansas women. Glenn Cunningham, great Kansas miler and one- time star Relays performer, returned this year as offi- cial referee, and also brought a crack team from Cornell College, Mt. Vernon, Iowa, where he is now athletic director. Cornell copped the college distance medly relay in the good time of 10:35.0 when Dave Clutterham, sophomore distance star who ran the anchor. mile, overcame a 50-yard lead held by Okla- homa Baptist and scampered home 15 yards ahead. ...Minis A significant trend in the university class events was the predominance of Big Six schools. Oklahoma, with Orville Mathews, sprint artist, and Bill Lyda, distance standout, took three titles. Mathews, pressed by Don Walters of Missouri, rocketed to a 9.8-second victory in the 100-yard dash, and ran a 2210-yard leg in Oklahomais sprint medly relay foursome which won in 3 :27.1. Lyda anchored the sprint medly team, and, in the distance medly, taking the baton on the third leg with 10-yard deficit, turned it into a 20-yard lead in his three laps. Dick Smethers, Big Six two mile king, loped home 60 yards ahead in the anchor mile to win the title for Oklahoma. The time was 10:23.3. Missouri, too, took its share of honors with first places in the shot put, half mile relay, and quarter mile relay. In the shot, husky Elmer Aussieker heaved the iron ball 49 feet 1 inch to win over Bob Bierele of Wisconsin, last year's winner. Walters, Joggerst, and Shy were the big guns of Missouri's victories in the two sprint relays. Nebraska's Smutz and King took, in that order, the first two places in the high hurdles, while Harold Hunt of the same school tied for IOP place in the pole vault. The Cornhuskers placed in nine out of a pos- sible 15 events, with their weight star, Edsel Wibbels accounting for a second in the javelin, a third in the discuss, and a fourth in the shot. The pole vault was slated to be the feature event of the afternoon with such standouts as Hunt, Jack DeField of Minnesota, and Bill Wlilliams of Wiscon- sin enrered. A vicious cross wind, however, spiked the record-smashing possibilities, and the three up-and- over aces tied at 13 feet 5 M inches. The University of Kansas placed in two events. Milo Farneti led the field at one time in the javelin with a 185-foot throw, but was later outdistanced by Cook of East Texas State and Wibbels of Nebraska. Cook's mark was 196 feet 9M inches. Ralph Schaake of Kansas came through with a fourth place in the photos by Yamell high hurdle event. The Hoosiers of Indiana took complete con- trol of the distance relay situation, winning the two mile and four mile events, with Campbell Kane, intercollegiate half mile champion, run- ning legs in both races. Kane, who runs with the ease and coordination of a precision ma- chine, was a Relays star last year. Don Boydston, Oklahoma A. 8: M.'s crack high jumper was seriously handicapped by the wind, but cleared the bar at 6 feet 3M inches to take first place. He had made 6 feet 8 inches earlier in the season. Ralph Tate, another Ag- gie star, whose specialty is the high hurdles, tripped over one of the sticks and sprawled Hat on the track in the final race, but came back to win the broad jump with a leap of 23 feet 11M inches. Tate also ran a fast lap on the victorious A. 8: M. mile relay team which was clocked at 3:21.2. Bob Fitch of Minnesota took discus honors with a heave of 158 feet 9M inches, the second best mark in Relays history. Last year Indiana's Archie Harris almost tossed the platter out of the field when he set a new Relays record of 171 feet 6M inches. Fitch's throw was ten feet better than that of Bierlie of Wis- consin who placed second. The only real threat to a Relays record came in the college class mile relay when Prairie View CTexasD State Teachers College snapped through the four laps in 3:17.4, one-tenth of a second over the Relays mark set by Kansas State Teachers College of Pitts- burg in 1933. Louis Smith, Prairie View anchor man, took the baton with a five yard lead, coasted for 200 yards, and then, when threatened on the backstretch, unleashed a terrific kick, and blazed home far in the FIRST ROW: Herb Kouffmon, Dick Chubb, Clint Knnaga, Chuck Elliott. SECOND ROW: R. J. Atkinson, l-lorry Walton, George Woroll, Bud Whitten- berger, Paul Cqrpenter. THIRD ROW: Byron Kern, Garland Londrilh, W. C. Hartley, John Trlson, Bob Coleman. lead. Smith's quarter was clocked at a little over 48 seconds. Travis Cook of East Texas State Teachers tossed the javelin 196 feet 9M inches to lead the field. in his event. The East Texas State aggregation also cap- tured the college half mile relay title, stepping the distance in 1 1283. Pittsburg State Teachers College won a duel with Emporia State Teachers for the college title in the two mile relay. The time, 8:21.9, was comparatively slow. Absent this year from the Relays' administration staff was Ed Elbel who in recent years has been the literal focal point of all Relays arrangements. Elbel was called into the army as a reserve officer early in March, just as work began in preparation for the Relays. Heir to Elbel's thankless job was Bill Hargiss, pop- I C ontinued on Page 3822 ,, 'y, TR. 376 THE JAYHAWKER 1.57 ' .Q an V 'Z N '7 ' 0' H' ll ZW Sim Kaaztfm NYONE wandering across the Hill in the fall of 1917 would have noticed workmen throw- ing boards together to form barracks for the Student Army Training Corps. Tents of the National Guard covered the site of West Ad. The University commu- nity, under the impact of World War I, had gone khaki-wacky. Professors scoured the state for car- penters, drew up plans for barracks, and groaned at the task of reorganizing class work. The war situation was to faculty and students without precedent. Small wonder that when war hit the Hill the campus was all but transformed into an armed camp. Not so today-for the University is taking the present war in its stride, without hysteria. The R.O.T.C. has absorbed without strain the flood of additional hundreds seeking military training. This increase in numbers is mute evidence that the K.U. student needs no demagogue, stirring up a slosh of idealistic sentiment, to inspire him to shoulder a rifle. A fundamental change in attitude alone is responsible. The Reserve Officers' Training Corps grew out of that first emergency, to insure the country against a dearth of officers for its future armies. Released from the tensions of war, students were indifferent to mili- tary training, and it was with difficulty that the neces- sary quota for an R.O.T.C. unit at K.U. was secured. In the period of post-war complacency enrollees in coast artillery ventured into the neglected held of military tactics, even'though they assumed the world to be safe for democracy. But an Austrian upstart with a loud voice, and a readjusted map of Europe which couldn't stand much kicking around, combined to put' the damper on international good feeling. Military training in colleges and universities is now plainly vindicated. Military Science and Tactics includes NOT ONLY the mechanics of war, but subjects such as leadership, military history and policy, first aid and sanitation, and customs of the service. As a result most R.O.T.C. students acquire a distaste for the destructive type of aggressive warfare. ' The R.O.T.C. is a fully-accredited department of sIsI-ITING IN EXERCISES I PASSING IN REVIEW Plfmfof 59' Ydmel INsPEcTING OFFICERS MAY 1942 the University. It is really two units in one. To the original Coast Artillery unit was added an Infantry unit six years ago. The government-prescribed train- ing program embraces practical and theoretical in- struction, arranged in two parts-a basic course and an advanced course of two years each. Instructors are regular and reserve olificers appointed by the War Department. Naturally the 'lHill,s Army devotes part of its time Cand laborD to drill. Advancements in rank range from Cadet Corporal to Cadet Lieutenant Colonel. The experience of receiving military com- mands is new and strange to many freshmen, and whether they get a kick out of it or not is a matter of speculation. Those who are now student oflicers learned to command by hrst having learned to obey. For those who are interested in the riHe beyond merely carrying it on their shoulder the rilie range is available. Within the corps is an organization for those espe- cially interested in precision drill, the Pershing Rilies. Outstanding military students are admitted to mem- bership in Scabbard and Blade, national military honor society. Before each Military Ball the society spreads its own festive board, a feast unique in its military ceremony. Which brings us to a fact sometimes overlooked: There is a social side to the R.O.T.C. Yes, even the toughest military machines welcome the various 377 diversions sponsored by the department. Twice a year comes the colorful Military Ball, with immaculate blue, polished brass in untarnished glory, and the traditional arch of gleaming sabers. Stag barbecues, also attended by the entire personnel of the unit, fea- ture a superlative sauce which can be indulged in only at the University of Kansas. In the spring of each year comes an event which holds for the uninitiated the terrors of the Inquisition. It is Uncle Samls own peculiar kind of inquisition, the notorious Government Inspection. A board of officers delegated by the War Department holds examina- tions in theoretical and practical subjects, and reviews the unit in dress parade. On theoretical examinations the answer I don't know is equivalent to Beat me, Baker, to a battered pulp. This year no one dropped his rilie on the inspector's toe, and the unit again achieved the official rating of excellent After Inspection competitive spirit runs high within the unit. Members of the best-drilled company re- ceive special distinction in the following year, as do outstanding individuals, who may compete for a num- ber of special awards. Graduates in military science receive the commis- sion of Second Lieutenant in the Officers Reserve Corps of the United States Army. Ordinarily candi- dates for commissions must attend summer camp for practical training, in artillery at Fort Sheridan, near K C onzinued on Page 3832 The Walk Around at Inspection 4-....

Ralph Mil- ler displayed All-American form as he racked up 17 points in a generally ragged game. Ray Evans proved to be the bulwark of the defense as he bottled up the Aggies' Lonnie Eggleston the last 35 minuts of the game, as well as scoring 7 points for himself. Tieing in with the jayhawker-Cow- boy game story, of course is the whole series of events leading to the match, including victories by Kansas over each of its Big Six opponents. Clinching the co-championship title for Kansas was the K.U.-Missouri game of March 6 in which Kansas ran up the biggest Big Six score of the season in registering a 67-44 victory. Also of interest in the basketball line was Dr. F. C. 'Phogl' Allen's celebra- tion of the completion of his 25th year as Kansas basketball coach. No. 4 in the list of big news stories is Marjorie Rader's victory over Myra Hurd for the presidency of the Wom- en's Self-Governing Association. A total of 581 votes, the heaviest ballot- ing in years, were cast in the election which Miss Rader carried by a margin of 57. Other offices went to seven in- dependent and live sorority women. Meanwhile the Men's Student Council was filled by party inner circle and senate votes in conformance with the March 16 election-suspensions bill. No. 5 -the abandonment of plans for Dandelion Day. Seldom does a negative action make big news, but the cancellation of Dandelion Day, 1942, is big. Why? Not simply because the M.S.C. voted to drop it, certainly. No, rather it is important because of last year's big Dandelion Day blowout with street dancing, carnival, greased-pig chase, and weed-pulling. The day was viewed by many students as an em- bryonic tradition, which might grow more popular through the years while the dandelions were becoming thinner. A tradition was throttled. Honors Convocation produced story No. 6. Announcement of the Honor Man award always creates a great amount of interest. This year it was doubly important. The reason is ob- vious-it was a double award, going to Presson Shane and Robert Allen. Shane is an engineering graduate with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering, and is now stationed at a Coast Artillery school at Ft. Monroe, Va., as a first lieutenant. He was a Summerneld scholar, member of Tau Beta Pi and Sigma Tau honor- ary engineering fraternities, and a member of Sachem, men's senior honor- ary society. MAY 1942 Bob Allen, son of Dr. F. C. Phog Allen, is a graduate of the College with a B.S. in chemistry. One of the best basketball players ever to Wear a Kan- sas suit, Allen is also a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Sachem. He is now studying medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. No. 7-George the cop Snyder re- tires. George, the popular campus ofii- cer, served the University for 11 years before begin retired at the rgular re- tirement age of 65. He probably knows the faces of more students who at- tended the University during the past ll years than any other single individ- ual. As a token of friendship and ap- preciation, students, faculty members, and employees presented George with several gifts, one a composite collection of 850. A. 'D. Schick replaced George as campus law-enforcer. No. 8-Nightshirt paraders rebel 'Twas the night of October 24, the night before the Iowa State game, and men in nightshirts were on parade. All went well until K-Men and Ku Ku's wheeled out their paddles to hurry the paraders along and put revolters back into line. Paraders staged a sit-down strike on Massachusetts street and again they made contact with pepmen's pad- dles. The traditional long, weaving lines were broken, and the nightshirt- men moved as unorganized bands on to South Park. It was the apparent ob- ject of every nightshirter to obtain a pepman's paddle, and many succeeded. In South Park, a huge rally was held around the traditional bonfire. Cider, doughnuts, and free shows climaxed the evening and the story. No. 9-September-October political scramble in Men's Student Council. It all started when Bob McKay, Pacha- camac-elected M.S.C. prexy, got drafted and failed to return to school. Dave Watermulder, Council vice-president, moved into the presidency leaving the Council short one member. Pacha- camacs proceeded to fill the vacancy with David Whitney. Then the fire- works began. The Progressive Student Government League objected, on the constitutional grounds that a vacancy created by a president failing to return to school cannot be filled until the next regular election. The controversy nnally went to the Student Supreme NCourt, which upheld P.S.G.L.'s contentions and left the Council without David Whitney and in a political deadlock- 10 Pachacamacs and l0 P.S.G.L. mem- bers. No. 10-Jimmie Lunceford. Friday night, February 27, Jimmie and his Harlem Express hit the Hill for a one-night stand, playing to a near-selI- out crowd at the Junior Prom. Mixing sweet and jive, he pleased them all. His was undoubtedly the most colorful orchestra of the year. Sharing the spotlight with Lunceford is Charlie Spivak, who played for the Freshman Frolic.

Oliver Edwards walks off with the editorial hit in his first time at the plate-his I Am Going to War is the type of thing that should be required reading. Ed Price's Imperative of Non-Intervention carries an ideal which will outlast all wars, and his treatment deserves at least second place. The best interview in my opinion was Clint Kanaga's bit on Dr. Allen. Phog is undoubtedly one of the most colorful men on the Hill and Kanaga's sketch is a masterpiece. Also delightful was the portrayal of Otto Miessner by Wallace Kunkel. The Oscar for the best sports writ- ing also goes to Kanaga for his article on Doc's Twenty-fifth Season ,which directly followed the above interview. The reviewers and reviews put up the most difficult decision, but with the bit in my teeth, I shall select Charlene johnson's rapid ire report Of the Freshman Frolic in the first issue. Clarence Peterson, our dramatic critic, rode well into second place with his scorn for Twelfth Night, and joy Miller gave quality as well as quantity with her review of the spring season in this issue.

At the fall tryouts, only one out of 12 girls who tried out could be se- lected but the ratio was one out of two for the men. , The congeniality of the choir makes rehearsals become pleasant song-fests, and although the group has chosen to fine themselves for absences from prac- tice, there is little use of this practice. The organization is backed by the Union Social Committee which aids the choir in the purchase of new music and in meeting other incidental expenses. The choir itself is not a profit-making group-they sing only because they en- joy it. Interesting to note is the fact that, although nearly every school of the University is represented in the choir, only three are enrolled in the school of Fine Arts. Merrill jones, their versatile pianist, is a fine arts major, but Peter- son himself is an English major with a flair for modern music. The Modern Choir always completes its season with a final sing around the campfire on their annual spring picnic. This performance in particular is for themselves. At any other time, however, the choir will gladly entertain audiences with C L O T H E S Don't Make the Man--But They H E L P A Lot LET US KEEP YOUR WARDROBE SPIC' AND SPAN AT ALL TIMES NEWS LETTERS Stationery, Invitations Printing Needs Supplied Genuine Engraving Quality Befitting the Noble '95 I LW where wriie m'lOI10 16 Heritage of general offices: dr A JAYHAWK 419 W.

The first spring we were in about four hundred men left. It seemed strange, it-but you know. By 1918 two thou- sand K.U. students were taking an active part in the war. The other day I looked back over some statistics. Over sixteen hundred of our students were in the army and navyg almost three hundred were in some other branch of the service. Six hundred Kansas boys were officers. Yes, the crimson and the blue was unfurled many times under the Stars and Stripes. Not only stu- dents left school, but also faculty mem- bers. On the average of one a week the professors went into the service, from the dean of the engine school to an in- structor in English. K.U. had her own national guard unit, it was Company M. If you really want to know the spirit of Kansas during that war, you should look up a 1918 jayhawker. It was dedicated to the men in the service. Now I suppose the verses and illustra- tions would seem strictly old-fashioned. Your generation has new means of ex- pression. The basic ideas are the same, though, in every age. You are young and there is war. It has been thus al- ways. It shall probably ever be so. Mr. Phipps knelt and packed some loose dirt around a tulip bulb. With- out another word he turned and shuf- fled slowly back into the stone house. I noticed that he had dropped his un- read newspaper on the steps. He knew what it said anyway. There if no real Mr. Phipps. He kindly :awed at a vehicle to pai part war factf in a more present light-to facilitale the parallel. Thank you, Mr. Pbippf. The War of the .Women fConlinued from Page 3672 2000 points and each got their silver loving cups. Blazers in recognition of 1350 points were awarded to Wells, Shaake, Bing- ham, Smith and Whitehead. Chenille letters were given to 650-point girls and a dozen 125 point girls were ini- tiated into W.A.A. This year's high point winner for the organized house division is Lo Smith, who nosed out last year's winner, Peggy Davis, and in the non-organized division, it was Herriman again. Officers in charge of strategies next fall were installed as such in W.A.A.: Shaake, presidentg Wells, vice presi- dentg Benson, secretaryg Gsell, treas- urerg J. Peck, business manager, R. Durand, point system manager, Chap- ple, hockey manager, Winn, volleyball manager, Strubble,minor sports, Jacob- son, basketball managerg Gilmer, swim- ming, and Davis, baseball. But most important now are the re- sults of this year's war of the women. Conquering all for the third consecutive year, to be awarded again the great silver trophy for the All-University women's intramural champion, is Kappa Kappa Gamma. Kappa Alpha Theta came in inches behind as did Corbin Hall. And so ends the '41-'42 women's intramural conflict-next year, the women will pick up bats, rackets, and clubs to fight it out again.

Many others deserve recognition-too many to mention. In loqking back on the 1942 Kansas Relays, we can realize that one fact stands paramount above all others: That the Kansas Relays' are a tradition worth maintaining-a tradition which helps make the University of Kansas a great institution. Here's to another twenty years! 0 The R.O.T.C. fc0lllillll2d from Page 3771 Chicago, and in infantry at Fort Leaven- worth. Now that bigger and better guns are booming, however, this lei- surely summer program has been sus- pended. Instead, officers are subjected to a condensed period of intensive training at a special service school im- mediately before entering the active service. Construction on the new Military Science Building began quietly last spring, in anticipation of the military emergency as well as of future needs. Stone from old Snow Hall will form the facing, and the completed structure should be ready for use by next fall. In it there will be classrooms, offices, a vault, a rifle range, and space for addi- tional modern equipment which the de- partment expects to receive during the next year. The field to the south of the new building is being levelled for use as a parade ground and drill field. Administrative ingenuity has been taxed by an increase of 125 per cent in enrollment in the small space of three years. The new building will come just in time to keep the department from splitting a seam. For the first time in its history the Kansas unit of the R.O.T.C. will offer summer work. The University has made arrangements with the government whereby instructors in infantry and artillery will be retained through the summer. Drill will be as usual, with modifications in the uniform to mini- mize the torrid horrors of a summer on the Kaw. And so the military falls in line with the thirty-two other de- partments now operating on a three- semester basis. Already the halcyon days with their four long, romantic years of college are becoming legendary. For some courses on the Hill there are as many reasons for taking them as there are people enrolled in them. Among R.O.T.C. students, conversely, there is a decided similarity of motive. Of course a few are deeply interested - even fascinated - by the technique of firing guns or the details of tactical strategy. Others are attracted by the very nature of the military system-its discipline, coordination and snap, its opportunities for advancement and re- sponsibility. Invaluable is the inner sense of discipline and the ability to handle men in an industrial or profes- sional career. The avowed majority, however, enter the Corps with the hope of becoming commissioned officers in the regular army. And after all, it is only fitting that duties and privileges above and beyond those of a private-in-the-ranks accrue to college-trained men. Natur- ally there are those who wash out be- fore their Junior year. This marks the beginning of the advanced course, and some are eliminated at this crucial point. Professional credit is given members of the advanced corps, who, incidentally, are exempt from the draft. Those who stick with the course emerge as officers in the Army of the United States with the personal satis- faction that they are offering their su- perior services in times of direst need, but without any illusions about the grandeur of war. 333 The Cairn fConlinuetl from Page 329j Savage farm south of the University that Prof. E. H. S. Bailey in 1887 shied a pebble and exclaimed Rock Chalk, jay Hawk! originating his Science Club yell, later the most famous col- lege yell in the world. In l926 the Rock Chalk Cairn was built on the crest of the hill overlook- ing the stadium, a cairn dedicated to the vision of the founders-and those who helped faithfully to realize that vision. Here every year on Tradition Day the story of the University was to be retold and a stone laid to symbolize an important event in its growth and development. The hrst stone was from old North College dedicated to the founding of the University. Then, successively, were laid a Bailey Stone commemorating the yell, a door sill from Snow Hall representing the Uni- versity's scientific accomplishments, and a Glenn Cunningham stone for K.U. athletic achievements. Thus the Cairn grew. Around it took place Sachem initiations, the induction of new stu- dents, Tradition Day, and school rallies. Last year as a part of the Seventy-Fifth Anniversary the Cairn was moved to its present position on the point of the hill and enclosed within a circular wall designed by Poco Frazier. Here it stands today. Now it is in permanent form. But the students seem to have forgotten why they built it. Tradition Day is no more. School rallies are no longer held about it. Is the Uni- versity becoming but an impersonal machine that turns out scholars with mathematical precision? Is there no love, no pride, no hope? Even now it is suggested that a stone from the steps of Fraser Hall be laid to remember the world deeds of K.U. men of action- Generals Funston, Metcalf, Smith-and of mercy-Millard Shaler and Vernon Kellogg. Yet the idea falls on deaf KEEP 'EM ROLLING CITIES -That's Been Our Iob for 19 Years- SERVICE FRITZ CO.-Phone 4 PRODUCTS 384 ears. Where is that spirit? Harvard has its Yard, Yale its Fence, and Ox- ford its Martyr's Monument. These traditions are dear to them. Is the Kan- san too matter of fact to heed an even more appropriate memorial-the Rock Chalk Cairn? o Spring Enferfainmenl' fConLinued from Page 3721 tion, was something of a fear, the degree of excellence of playing and in- terpretation the orchestra attained was something of a happy surprise. Highlight of the spring symphony concert was the playing of the Piano Concerto in B Hat minor as Tschaikow- sky wrote it. Bernard McNown, senior in the School of Fine Arts, was the solo- ist with the orchestra, and did such a bang-up job that had the venerable old composer been alive and in the audi- ence, he would have rushed up to em- brace the young musician-a custom which died out with the classicists. In a program designed to appeal to music lovers, Dean D. M. Swarthout presented the A Cappella Choir in Hoch Auditorium, April 20. Dedicated to three young men who had left the choir to join the nation's armed forces, the concert featured four groups of songs: solemn religious chorales and choruses, mystical, minor-keyed Rus- sian songs, twentieth century and con- temporary music, and Negro and folk song arrangements. The most recent home presentation of these University groups was the Gala Concert, the last major event of Music Week, in which the band, orchestra, and choir joined forces to do honor to American music in general, and visiting celebrity, Roy Harris, in particular. Music has been but one side of the cultural entertainment offered on the Hill this spring. Drama, in all its far- cial, satirical, and horrible aspects has been presented in Fraser theater by members of the dramatic department and the dramatic workship. The first play of the spring season was the peren- nial favorite, Charley's Aunt, with Ben Mantz in the title role. The well- known farce, based on the mistaken identity theme, included in the cast Bill Kelly, Dean Ostrum, Edith Ann Fleming, Spencer Bayles, Robert Hut- chinson, Gloria Goff, Ray Helgesen, Betty Rowton, and Dee Ellen Naylor. The Women, Clare Booth's bril- liant satire on the weaker sex, was one of the cleverest of the plays this year. In this biting indictment of their own kind, twenty-four talented University of Kansas women ungloved their claws and went to work, first on each other and then on the men, who couldn't talk back. The all-women play was presented in eleven scenes, which ranged from a penthouse in New York to a casino in Reno, and by twenty-four actresses, whose characterizations ranged from upper-crust parasites to manicurists. THE JAYHAWKER The sisters under the skin who have leading roles include Jane Beal as the loving but disillusioned wife, Lois Ann Lehman, cattiest of the cats, Mary Alice Horner, the other woman g Barbara Winn, a much-married countess, and Deane Butler, the wise mother. The Hnal dramatic oEering of the season was presented May 4 by the Dramatic Workshop, a group of over eighty student-actors joined together without a faculty sponsor through love of the theater. The play was Night Must Fall. Dan Bachman, one of the best actors on the Hill, had the leading role as Dan, the unbalanced bellhop, who has already committed one murder when the curtain rises, and proceeds to do another before the play ends. Edith Ann Fleming is cast as Olivia Grayne, the lonely niece who realizes that Dan is a psychological case, living in a world of his own, but becomes in- fatuated with him, none the less. Vir- ginia Davis plays the petulant aunt whom Dan eventually kills for her money. The play goes on its morbid, gloomy but suspenseful way, until Dan is caught and led away after iiinging out a last egotistical boast to the effect that heid make the trial a good show. It was a difficult play, but unaided by faculty advice, directors Harlan Cope and Connie Moses made it from the point of acting and suspense, one of the best plays of the year. Thus ends the spring season of musi- cal and dramatic art-a good season, BOTH womc AND PLAY ARE ENJOYED BY K.u.

Carruth defeated Theta Tau, sec- ond place holders, in the first game 7-2. This defeat marks the only blem- ish on the record of Theta Tau. In Division IV, late starters, the Rock Chalk Co-op is the only unde- feated team. The teams of this division play reduced schedules which was ne- cessitated by the late start of the divi- sion and the small number of entries, In spring tennis, the team matches are behind schedule, but Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Delta Theta, and Delta Tau Delta, seem to comprise the major com- petition for the rest of the racquet wielders of the Hill. As expected, the Newman Club again seems to have a monoply on horseshoe pitchers in team play. How- ever, in individual horseshoes, past champions Fleagle and Henny have been eliminated, which makes the spring tournament a wide-open affair with no possible forecasts. O Books and Ballads of +l1e Year fContinued from Page 3711 show how ultimately the invader will be defeated because of the bitter, cold, resentful hate of the people they hold in subjection. It tells how the trouble begins, of the slaying of hostages to right wrongs, and of the constantly growing hate against the oppressor. I would recommend this book to anyone. It is good. I will mention briefly the latest books that seem to be gaining popular- ity and that deserve to be acknowl- edged. First there is Mission to Mos- cow by Joseph Davies, an account of the experiences of our minister to Soviet Russia. Next, Flight to Arras by Antoine de Saint Exupery. Exupery with a gunner and an observer was sent on a reconnaissance flight over the Ger- man lines around the burning town of Arras. It is the author's account of the trip, written quietly and poetically, em- bodying his philosophy of life, death, and war. Lastly, Robert St. john's From the Land of Silent People. A description of experiences of the author during the Nazi campaign in the Balkans. This about covers what the well-read student was reading during the year, so let us turn to what the well-listened listener was listening to. Last fall the student yielded en-masse to the hilarious tune, Chatanooga Choo-Choo. It played on every nickel- odeon in Lawrence and was heard on any radio station in the country. Other favorites were the soulful, still hopeful, 'iWhite Cliffs of Dover, You and I and I Guess I'll Have to Dream the Rest. During the winter everyone hummed Elmer's Tune, except for a few who hummed jim or Everything I Love. Then there was I Know Why and Miss You. During the transition period between winter and spring, came Deep in the Heart of Texas, Blues in the Night, This Is No Laughing Matter, Moon- light Cocktail, and last, I Said No. This spring has seen a number of good records such as This Is No Laughing Matter, Skylark, 'I Re- member You, I Don't Want to WaHc Without You, and the hit of the movie, The Fleets In, Tangerine This is a fair summary of the pop- ular records that have held preemin- ence on the Hill this year. And now, it would not be fair not to mention the classics, as they've enjoyed a new pop- ularity this year, especially Tschaikow- sky. Three of his symphonies, the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth, have been extremely popular, as have The Nutcracker Suitel' and The Overture to Romeo 385 and Juliet. Other symphonies that have continued to hold favor are Beethoven's Fifth and Seventh, and Schubert's Unfinished Symphony. In a lighter vein, the Strauss waltzs, The Blue Danube, and Tales from the Vienna Woods have enjoyed consid- erable student favor. Taken all in all, K.U. has just stayed K.U. We've read a lot of good books and heard a lot of good songs, and I suppose a few wet blankets have studied. There's bound to be people like that. That's life.
