F A 1 L T N U M B E R , 1948 1 Seems almost unnecessary to tell you about the features in this issue, since you can see so well for your- self. But we do think some of our contributors deserve to have atten- tion called to their work. Some mighty fine jobs were turned in to make the burden of the editor a good deal lighter. Let ' s take a quick turn through the book. Jim Jones produced the Super- man feat of the issue by writing three of the feature articles. His analysis of the first half of the fr ot- ball season we are sure will meet the approval of K.U. ' s rabid grid fans. Two other yeoman like works came from the typewriters of Ann Learned and Leonard Snyder. Ann covered completely and well the religious life of Kansas students. Leonard gave us a thoroughgoing survey of the work of the new William Allen White School of Journalism. In a lighter vein, we can flip the pages to the stories on new students and rush week activities which originated in the minds of Marilyn Sweet, Peggy Scott, and Keith Wil- son. All three made us laugh at the trials and tribulations of the poor uninitiated freshmen and remember when we were in their same sandals. And while we are on the subject of humor we cannot keep from mentioning the riotous cartooning of Paul Coker. His double page spread of the hazards of a football game adds zest to the entire issue and will make even the old grads laugh. Paul did other fine work in the issue, his illustra- tions for Keith Wilson ' s rush week saga fitting the spirit perfectly. The animal world comes in for its share of the glory in ' Tale of a Dog by Marian Rippeteau. Sam Jones did the photography honors and reports that his animals posed better than their human mastrs usually do. Margaret Meeks main- tained the fine, quality of feminine writing in her story on women ' s THE STAFF EDITOR: BILL CONBOY ART STAFF: Lu Anne Powell, Art Editor Paul Coker, Cartoon Editor Jim Hawes PHOTOGRAPHY STAFF: Hank Brown, Picture Editor Duke D ' Ambra Sam Jones Tom Dealy George Robb James Boney FEATURE CONTRIBUTORS: Jim Jones Marilyn Sweet Keith Wilson Peggy Scott Leonard Snyder Carol Dunn Jane Schmidt Ann Learned Margaret Meeks Marian Rippeteau EDITORIAL ASSISTANT: Carolyn Campbell OFFICE STAFF Gloria Pat Ames Arden Angst Barbara Banta Helen Binder Bob Bohl Jddy Buckley K.

Jane Schmidt and Carol Dunn showed a definite flair for writing personality sketches which make you seem to know the individuals described. The Jayhawker stepped into the international field when a for- eign student, Aldo Aliotti, stepped in to give us the low down on his fellow classmates from other lands. We had to stop him though when he wanted to write it in Italian. Lu Anne Powell, our art editor, drew the sketches for the Jay- hawker Nite Life feature and proved invaluable with suggestions and advice on the issue in general. Jim Hawes gave us a strikingly ap- propriate sketch for the speech department story; he will be heard from more in future issues. Hank Brown, our picture editor, did his usual fine job in taking many and excellent shots for the candid section and several feature stories. And where he left off, Tom Dealy, Sam Jones, George Robb, and James Boney were on hand to complete the fine pictorial coverage. One last word on pictures before closing. He ' s not a student but no Jayhawker would be successful without the faithful work of Duke D ' Ambra. In addition to his shots of the new students and pledges, Duke is responsible for the four full page art pictures which so add to the beauty and class of the magazine. Be seeing you again just before Christmas. 1
