LOOKING THE SITUATION OVER WITH BILL CONBOY The recent national election gave our editorial ideas for this issue quite a kick in the pants. We were all set to print the results of a couple of little surveys which had been conducted around the campus when the crack of doom was heard early the morning of Nov. 3. Mr. Truman was swept back into the White House, and Mr. Gallup, Mr. Roper, and various assorted poll-cats were swept right off their feet. We decided to wait with our little opinion research till some future issue when public skepticism may have died down a few degrees. But where we did lose one idea, we happened to find another. The vagaries and caprices of human nature in gen- eral and various human natures in particular are beginning to make many persons revise their concept of the masses. Certain psychologists now claim that the effect of the so- called bandwagon propaganda is almost negligible. People want to think for themselves, and when someone tries to tell them what to think or how they are going to vote, they get stubborn and kick like a mule. And Mr. Dewey k.iows just how big a jolt such a kick can be. It is right and natural that each individual should have his own opinion even if only like the poor husba: ' whu, when asked if he and his wife ever had a differenr of opinion, replied Yes, but I never tell her about it. Now, what most recently brought this matter of dif- ferences of opinion to our attention has been the deluge ( suggestions, recommendations, and brainstorms wh ; :h li.ve been passed on to us with regard to this year ' s Jay ' .awker. Almost without exception the advice has been well-meant and worthy of serious consideration but what makes it rough is that everyone seems to have a differs:: idea. T ' e ideas are good but they all seem to go in opposite dir -. tions. And this finally brings up the purpose of thu article to find out what YOU want in YOUR Jayhawker In this regard, we thought it might be interesting to put down on paper a few of the many and varied suggestions which have come our way. Let ' s take them up in order. Concerning the covers for each issue, such ideas as the following have drifted in: ( 1 ) That cartoons be used on each issue instead of photographs. (2) That only still life shots, such as buildings, be used never people. (3) That the table of contents be put on the cover as on Reader ' s Digest. (4) That the design for each of the four covers be the same only the colors being varied. ( 5 ( That a blank space be left on the outside for each student to write his or her name and address. Now turning to the photographs, we have heard remarks like these: ( 1 ) Cut out the full page shots and the scenic pictures. Use only small ones with people in them. ( 2 ) Use more full page and scenic shots. Candids get boring after a time. (3) Include some color sections in the magazine even if the added expense means that the total number of photographs in an issue must be cut down notice- ably. (4) Get more variety in the pictures include some trick shois at times, and also some pin-ups of local campus queens. Then we hear many things about our stories and articles: ( 1 ) Let ' s have more humor make the book entertain- ing, not so much informative. (2) Cut out the trying-to-be-funny stories. Stick to straight journalism; leave the wit to Bob Hope. (3) Let ' s have fewer, shorter articles more pictures. (4) Let ' s have longer, more complete articles fewer big pictures. ( 5 ) Use more art and cartoon work to tell a story : ' n few words fewer long descriptions. Most of these recommendations have merit in one way or another, but only certain ones can be used. We would like to have YOUR specific ideas on WHICH ONES can b; used to make the ] ay hawker a better yearbook. How about dropping by the office for a chat? WHAT DO YOU WANT IN YOUR JAYHAWKER?
