Keeping things on an even keel were Bonnie Hoi- den and June Smallev who sacrificed too much of their ?pare time in managing the secretarial job. Judith Tihen, Joan Larson, Jo Anne Jacobs, Carolyn -Vigg, and Dorothy Fenton are only a few of the old faithfuls who ran frequent errands around the campus and typed everything but the starboard list. In no small way does the Jayhawker appreciate the photographers on the staff. Enrolling late but in time to take a few pictures was Jerry Palmer, one of the Returning Native?. Armed with an attractive con- vertible and a faculty for taking pictures in army fashion Jerry has decided that K.L . s pre-med course has it all over the 19 months he spent overseas with the 15th Air Force, including five months in an Italian prison camp at Aziz. Bobbie Smith, reared in a photographic-minded family, didn ' t object at all to the many inconven- iencing tasks assigned her way. Perhaps her dates wondered what it meant when she took her camera along every night for four weeks. She turned in some of the most professionally-printed 8 x ICfs we ' ve seen in a long time. Bert Kintzel, last year ' s strong man on shots is back again to add his experience to the staff. Even Charles Fisher, a former Jayhawker photographer, managed to get in a few pictures before being swamped with finals and graduating exercises in October.

THE JAY HAWKER Jayhwker Undercover Some of the perennial campus features took a back seat this issue in favor of a subject which we hope is making it ' s last appearance in any Jayhawker maga- Our cover man and cover photographer for this issue have a lot in common. Jim Kennedy, above, well-entitled to his homing pigeon discharge button, spent eight months overseas in the European Theatre, and has two purple hearts. He was a Business junior here when he left in 1943, got his discharge June 7. Hank Brown, who took the excellent cover shot, was a navy man, and also left the Hill as a junior in 1943. While still in cadet training, he was injured and spent six months in a navy hospital in Long Beach. He later enlisted with the regular navy, spent another six months in a pho- tographic school at Pensacola, and re- ceived his medical discharge last August. zine the returning veterans. The 10 students (pages 18, 20, 22) are a few of those who took time out to win the war and are back in school carrying books instead of mess kits. Capt. Kenneth Postlethwaite, a K.U. graduate in 1939 and former head of the publicity department, now stationed in Ft. Monmouth, N. J. with the Special Services, graciously agreed to write our opening arti- cle, The Return of the Natives, (p. 15) . It ' s about the veteran from a service- man ' s point of view, and under the vivid humor and cynicism you ' ll find material guaranteed to be thought-provoking. The contributor ' s col- umn is sparked by some old-timers. Mary Morrill, editor of the Jayhawker for a year and a half, reviews the coking technique in The Verbal Spike, (pp. 46, 47) , insists that the information didn ' t come from experience. R. J. Atkinson, who has been called upon by four successive Jayhawker editors in as many years, kept up his reputation with Freshmen Women (p. 29). It may or may not have been the cause for his four-day stay in Watkins hospital. Pat Penney, running a close second with the Regis- trar ' s office for collecting names, found time to write the Sense of Humus (pp. 6, 8) , in addition to The Bill of Rights, (p. 18) ... and G. . Joe, (p. 20) . Another one of our claims to fame lies in Dodie Sulzman, last year ' s managing editor of the Daily Kansan, and now Editor-in-Chief. In spite of being a second semester senior, she still managed all the dirty work connected with being editorial associate, pol- ished off the rough corners on more stories than we care to tell. Elaine Thalman, also one of last year ' s staff mem- bers, came through with flying colors when the last- minute squeeze play on this issue began. When things really look hopeless, it ' s the discovery of new talent that keeps the staff ' s collective chin off the floor. Keith Wilson, freshman, and Bunny Lawler,

MEMORIAL UNION Top: The Phi Psis and Chi O ' s give their streamlined college version of ring around the rosy. Bottom: The stag at eve has drung his fill. You, too, can be the life of the party at Tootie ' s. THE SEISE OF HUMUS Pat TIME was when all eyes were on the new freshmen women each fall. But this year ' s autumn nocturne is all eyes and sighs in the direction of the veterans. And that loud moan you hear is a coed just discovering that her secret pas- sion is married and has two kids. The manpower situation is definitely on the upgrade, so the big girls tell me. Although the campus has not reached pre-war standards (more men than women), K.U. women are getting back to dating 18 instead of 17-year-olds, and the men are gradually losing that haughty, I ' m-so-sought-after air. The addition of the hotsy totsy ROTC ' s to the campus, Nov. 1, was not hard to take either. As our friend Max Shulman would not say, Things is getting better all over. Our vote for B.T.O. most likely to get his wires crossed goes to Bill Daugh- erty, Sig Alph, who divides his precious free time among Poo McCleary, DG, (CONTINUED TO PAGE 8)
