Out on a Limb-
UDK Endorses Fall Season
Ummm... two hours before the afternoon dead-line on editorial page copy and there's all that white space on the make-up sheet staring soberly at us.
Well, let's see. A few more vitriolic letters on the Kansan editorial desk advising us not to be so vitriolic. But, to the case at hand . . .
Let's see again. Thought number one: we're tired of standing on the curb at the intersection for what seems five minutes or so while the Campus Cop insists on clearing traffic from one direction before giving his attention to the other. But . . . that's stepping on toes, and there's something about the arm of the law being quite extended.
Thought number two: a worthy group of students seem to be attempting to do something about racial segregation in Lawrence. Still, the organization may be Communist inspired or something, and you know what happened several weeks ago...
Thought number three: of course it's rained, but is it advisable for the University to keep watering lawn areas—particularly in and around Memorial
stadium—in view of the water shortage, rapidly growing more serious? They're hauling water into Ottawa now. Wait a minute, though. Administration officials may shower us with epithets and we might reply—and that's childish, you know.
Isn't fall beautiful? Leaves falling . . . smoke in the air . . . children coming home from school. Yes, we'll take a stand on fall.

However, this is not to suggest that other seasons don't have their merits, also. And this writer's endorsement does not necessarily reflect the combined opinions of the Daily Kansan or the 6,000 students at the University. If you like spring, summer, or winter—we're happy, you're happy, and everything's quite dull.
So where does this leave us? We want to keep our readers satisfied. We have it! Today the Daily Kansan shall endorse the autumn season.
The moral: This page is alternately subdued and raucous, reasoned and reckless, nice and naughty, brash and dull. But take your choice: it's peppered hash or bread pudding.

CombinedCharity Drive Merits Student Support
The goal for the Campus Chest drive has been set at $5,000.
To many students this may seem like a great deal of money to raise from the student body in one drive. Some students feel that their pocketbooks can't stand giving any large amount.
Then the idea was originated to have only one drive and collect for everything at once and divide the money proportionately. The student would have to give only once. True, the amount given would be larger, but the student would not be constantly bothered by solicitors.
The Campus Chest drive is not one drive but many drives combined into one. Up until a few years ago each local organization and national organization conducted its own drive. Everytime $p$ student turned around he was asked to give to one cause or another
Eight organizations will benefit from the drive this year. They are the American Heart fund, Damon Rumyon Cancer fund, National Polio foundation, American Foundation for the Overseas Blind, Red Cross, Lawrence Community chest, Young Women's Christian association, and the Young Men's Christian association.
Divide 6,500 students into $5,000 and you will find that each student has to contribute less than a dollar in order to reach the goal. One dollar isn't much to contribute to such worthy causes as the Damon Runyon Cancer fund, the Polio foundation, and the American Heart fund, which help many people.
Let's all start saving our nickels, dimes, and pennies now and put the drive over the top when it begins Nov. 11.

It's not enough that we should be subjected to the mangleing mast-doids on television, now we can even see them here in Lawrence.
Lawrence Bill Of 'Rasseling Here to Stay?
The dainty art of pounding your opponent against the mat has a long and honorable past, but in recent years it has become something else again. We wonder what kind is being presented here in Lawrence.
Great growling groans—"big time" wrestling has come to Lawrence at last.
Those in the know divide the sport into two categories: wrestling and rasseling.
Wrestling is the honorable art of seeing which man is the strongest and best versed in the science of the sport, which follows a set of definite rules. In a wrestling match the opponents usually enter and leave the ring friends.
In raseling there is usually a buildup before the production in which the adversaries make definite statements about how much they will mangle each other. If the two leading characters have met before, there are charges of "dirty pool" from both corners.
And then there is rasseling, which bears a striking resemblance to an old-time melodrama.
Usually the "hero" and the "villain" are established in advance. The hero is the upstanding young beginner, while the villian is the old pro, usually favored, who will stop at nothing to maintain his standing.
We hope the promoters of the Law- rence matches took into consideration that there are a number of fine athletic contests open to the public in this area during the year, and that they aren't promoting rasseling matches.
The match usually follows the "script" with the old pro winning by means of some rather devious methods.

CAMPUS
Rumor has it that Western Civilization may be on the way out as a requirement for students in the College of Liberal Arts and Science. The course, patterned after the system used at the University of Chicago has not proved too successful. The purpose was to develop student initiative in self study, but most students have not bothered to read the selections and have simply bought notes or taken the cram course in order to pass the exam.
KU Young Democrats hope to elect Camilla Klein, second year law student, to the national vice presidency of their organization at the national convention Nov. 12 in St. Paul, Minn. Spokesmen for the local organization say Miss Klein, an unsuccessful contender for the office last year, has enough delegate strength promised to win "hands down."
There won't be big battles in the All Student Council this year. The new strategy for one party to make the other look bad is to use delaying tactics. The real measure of the parties' ability to hold each other down will be the number of bills passed by the end of the semester.

Many complaints are being made about the new rule requiring students to pay $1 to transfer ID cards, and the policy of restricting them to high school students. We predict an investigation into the reasons for the rule.
NATIONAL
Add another law in name only—the Logan Act. Since it was passed in 1799 no one has ever been prosecuted under it. And we're betting that Rep. O'Konski (R.-Wis.) will not be prosecuted either. O'Konski has written Syngman Rhee urging the freeing of anti-Communist Chinese and North Korean war prisoners. The Logan Act prohibits private citizens from correspondence with a foreign government to influence it in relation to controversies with this country.
Charley Dressen's release by the Brooklyn Dodgers after refusing to take a 1-year contract has dropped him to the minor league job of managing the Oakland, Calif., club—but he won't stay there long. There are too many major league clubs changing managers every year to let a two-consecutive pennant winner stay in the minors.
Arthur Godfrey's firing of many of his principal actors is liable to turn his show from one of the best in the business toward the other direction. It is a good bet, though, that he will rehire them one by one, when he realizes their importance to his show.
INTERNATIONAL
Watch Korea for a dramatic break inside of 30 days. Some reports reaching Army intelligence in Korea expect fighting to resume soon.
Tito seems to be bluffing in Trieste. It has been said that he knew of the American action long before it happened. He was expected to protest loudly because of the strong feeling in Yugoslavia concerning the city.
Letters
In the Oct. 5 issue of the Daily Kansan there appeared a letter asking the Athletic department four questions. Mr. Falkenstien answered one question in the Kansan on Oct. 20.
The reason Mr. Falkenstein gave for the increase of ID card transfer to one dollar was expense involved in handling. Now I would like to ask a fifth question. What expense is incurred in handling? Last year the tickets were printed by the University Press for less than one cent per ticket. Students
Again I ask Mr. Falkenstien to answer the questions in my last letter. The student has the right to know the answers because he has already paid for the seat for which the Athletic department is charging another student an additional 75 cents. The original 25 cents covered federal tax, state tax and cost of printing tickets.
