SUMMER SESSION KANSAN
THIS and THAT By KENNETH KITCH
Another summer school has came and is already rapidly wenting. If readers of the Kansan can assimilate another round of This and That, it will be forthcoming occasionally. The nice thing about this column is that it is one of the few things not requiring any tokens . . . except an occasional token of co-operation in the form of contributions.
A column-writer is a great deal like old King Saul. He has to go out and pal around with the asses. It gets so bad that before long he starts cultivating a pair of long ears, himself . . . and those long ears often get him into trouble.
If anybody—ass or otherwise—has a pome or a paragraph or anything else of that general description, however, let him come forth with his name and the contribution and it'll probably be printed. How about it, Ed? (Ed's note: 'It'll have to be a lot better than what you're dishing up.)
Sam Bono, Kansas City's "naughty boy," sends word from the Big House that "crime doesn't pay." The only trouble with Sam is that he didn't specialize in the right branch. He should have studied crooning.
Headline: "Lewis' Forces Win Sweeping Victory." And with the janitors in their fold, now, what else is there to go after?
Southwest Kansas grain dealers are meeting in Dodge City tomorrow to discuss sales tokens as they apply to grain men. Some enterprising soul ought to hasten out there with a box car full of ear muffs so that the gentle townpeople will be able to hear their pastors' sermons the next morning.
Things: A great many of the old Fraser Hall gang are back for the races . . . a few less hairs on ivory domes . . . a few more roundages just about the belt line . . . a few more wrinkles and such . . . but lots of smiles at the cool weather. About the first thing the gang does is look over the campus to note the various improvements. First of all are the library steps and the rose garden. Second is the new fire plug across the street from the library. "If I'd known they had that new fire plug," said one teacher this morning, "I'd certainly have brought my dog with me. He just loves to play around those things."

You will enjoy writing on one of our typewriters. It's easier to write on a typewriter and looks better, too.
We have them for rent, all makes. Call us, 548, and we will deliver one to you.

The tennis courts are fixed up for the first summer in years . . . the golf course is having its shaggy locks trimmed. The professors are bearing down with all fours . . . and it looks like everyone will be able to keep busy and bring smiles to the countenance of Daddy Schwegler.
Colonel Bert Nash is already booming up the softball at the intramural lots. It starts Monday evening. Bevan, star hurler of past
years, is not back; but Buller and some of the other flingers are here and all practiced up. If enough teams are formed, a league schedule may be organized. Otherwise, impromptu games will probably prevail. No definite action has been taken as yet concerning the entry of any University teams in the night league down town.
Keep the metal hot, Schiller,
there's relief just over the hill!

ADVERTISEMENTS Make Neighbors of a Nation
The Yankee clipper-ships are sailing phantom seas. The western two-gun man has retired to the movies, and the southern plantation has been subdivided. The old sectional distinctions have passed into tradition.
Where there was North, South and West, there is now one people. Those old barriers of distance and prejudice have been worn down by many uniting forces: Railroads, radio, automobiles, telephones, newspapers, magazines, Advertising.
These are the things that have united America into a nation of neighbors. You have the same automobile as the chap a half-dozen states away. You both eat the same advertised foods, smoke the same tobaccos, enjoy concerts from the air with the same radio sets. You have a lot of things in common.
Advertisements give you and your neighbors in all the forty-eight states the same chance to know and obtain new things as soon as they are ready. Through advertisements, you learn of a thousand devices that save you labor, increase your comfort, and help you enjoy life generally. They give you a broad panoramic view of this modern age we live in.
Read the advertisements--your neighbors are reading them too.
