Receipt Lack Causes Jayhawker Confusion
Thousands of University students enrolling and registering last week signed their names and gave money, by cash and check, to buy a copy of the 1952 Jayhawker. Of these thousands, many can only hope the Jayhawker staff will deliver the goods.
In this category are those who paid in cash and requested that a name be engraved on their copy of this year's yearbook cover. They have no way of proving they paid for the book—no receipt to show for the purchase.
The cards were nonchalantly stacked by the solicitor in a little box, while he concentrated on his next sale. The purchaser moved on, no doubt happy that the purchase had been made, but at the same time a trifle uneasy because he had no proof of the transaction.
Without wishing to imply that there is any dishonesty on the Jayhawker staff, we firmly believe they made an unfortunate mistake in neglecting to provide receipts for these sales.
All they know is that they signed two little cards, doled out their dollars, and then were asked to return the cards to the solicitors at the salesdesk.
If, in the flurry of registration, one or more of those cards were misplaced, a lot of grief could easily result. For that matter, any student could claim that he had paid in cash for the Jayhawker and to have his name engraved. His name would not be on the Jayhawker records, but the student could point out the possibility, and there is a large one, of his card being misplaced.
Selling articles without issuing a receipt is a risky business, and a grievous transgression against business procedure.
We are confident they will deliver the goods. We have to be—we didn't get a receipt either. —Bob Stewart.
Nevada Politicians Cross Party Lines in Senate Race
Interpretive Article
Sen. George W. Malone, (R-Nev.), one of the senators elected in the 1946 Republican sweep of congressional seats, faces his first attempt for re-election this fall.
Senator Malone, a civil engineer, has been in the limelight a great deal for a junior senator. His conservative and isolationist views have been praised by some and condemned by others. He has been called "one of the most expendable" members of the Senate by Time magazine.
The 62-year-old senator was born at Fredonia, Kan., is a veteran of World War I and a graduate of the University of Nevada. He has a wide knowledge of the natural resources of the West, particularly in the fields of water supply and power, irrigation and flood control.
In Congress he has become known as an outspoken leader of opposition to the Marshall Plan. He won almost immediate attention in the Senate as one of four Republican legislators to propose a bill providing for immediate increases in rent ceilings and the removal of all rent controls. He later reversed his stand and voted for the extension of the controls in both the 80th and 81st congresses.
Senator Malone was one of three Republicans to oppose the Taft-Hartley bill when it was passed in the Senate in 1947. He opposes any national labor legislation.
Several other Republican bills designed to curb union activity, such as bills to outlaw union shops and curb industry-wide bargaining, have also been voted against by the Nevada senator.
He acted as the leader for a group of eight senators who toured Europe in December 1947 and later proposed, without success, to slash the administration's stop - gap relief program for France, Italy and Austria.
He also voted against the Greek-
Turkish aid bill and attacked the
Marshall plan and similar programs
as "World-wide WPA."
Senator Malone took a leading part in opposing the Reciprocal Trade agreement program which was up for renewal in 1949. He showed a conspicuous lack of understanding of economics, at least because he was given in maintained that free trade was "importing employment."
In his zealous efforts to return to isolationism, Senator Malone has ignored the fact that European industries are a help and not a hindrance to the U.S. when they are stable. Free trade between two stable nations is a benefit to both.
It appears Senator Malone may
be aided in his campaign for reelection by the powerful political machine of Nevada's retiring Democratic senator, Pat McCarran. McCarran is angry because his hand-picked replacement, former State Attorney General Alan Bible, was defeated in the primaries.
The upset was achieved through a door-to-door campaign by young Tom Mechling, a former newspaperman who covered Washington. Candidate Mechling entered the race because he was disgusted with McCarran's Washington tactics.

STUDENTS SPENDING LESS ...
Sample studies of actual student allowance spending at Stephens college over the past ten years reveal certain trends, according to a survey being made there.
STUDENTS SPENDING LESS
Comments
In 1942 the median sum spent per month was $25.40. During the following six years, the monthly expenditures gradually increased to $41.12 in 1948. Since then, the spending trend has been downward, the median monthly expenditure being $34.68 last year.
TV TUTORING . . .
The University of Omaha has inaugurated a six week series of television courses over KMTV for college credit. To receive two credits toward a degree, the student must pay a fee of $13.50 and take a comprehensive examination on the campus.
FOREIGN STUDENTS . . .
There are twice as many foreign students enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities this year as there were in 1946, according to a census made by the Institute of International Education.
This country is host to over 30,000 visiting scholars this year, despite monetary exchange barriers and the continuation of a critical international situation. Most of them study engineering, social sciences, liberal arts and medical sciences in that order.

Short Ones
Just happened to notice the other day that the walls of the Daily Kansan newsroom are painted yellow. Any relation between that and the type of journalism that's produced is strictly unintentional.
The classified ad section of the Daily Kansan had this gem listed under the "Lost" column: Typist, experienced in theses, term papers, reports, etc.
After the GOP convention, we never thought we'd see the day when Eisenhower and Taft played footsie.
The University of Vermont reports that a year in college costs the average student $1,310. Does that include coffee?
"I am not going to support anything that smacks to me of un-Americanism and that includes any kind of thing that looks to me like unjust damaging of reputation," he answered.
Ike Abandons Ideals For McCarthy Support
But, to the contrary, the general continued by saying he would support any Republican against any Democrat for election to the Senate this year.
A few weeks ago on his tour through the West, General Eisenhower was asked by newsmen in Denver if he would support Sen. Joseph McCarthy in his campaign for re-election to the Senate.
"And, I will support McCarthy as a member of the Republican organization if he is renominated in the Wisconsin primary," Eisenhower said.
These glittering generalities would seem to imply a repudiation of any person who has come to stand for the type of factless character assassination now generally referred to as "McCarthyism."
The general said he would never give his "blanket support" to anyone who "holds views that . . . violate my conception of what is decent, right, just, and fair."
To many Republicans and Democrats alike it is a mystery why Eisenhower does not repudiate the man who openly despises every value in which the general professes to believe. In effect Eisenhower is aiding "McCarthyism," an antonym to the "Americanism" which the general claims to champion.
On September 9 the Wisconsin senator won his primary and now the general is pledged to support him in the coming campaign.
Besides not agreeing in philosophy with Eisenhower, McCarthy is not an Ike man. He supported Taft for the nomination and has failed to come over to Eisenhower since.
Why then is Eisenhower going to support McCarthy? It is clear and simple. The man who was a general, but first an American and is now a presidential candidate, is playing politics. Not his level politics but a lower level. He is sacrificing his ideals for votes.
Wisconsin went Democratic in 1948 and Ike is feeling the need for the state's votes both in the presidential election and in the Senate. For this he is willing to support his party's candidate for senator there . . . even if that candidate is a McCarthy.
Such tactics are very disappointing to many of his supporters and to watchful independents. It is a serious mistake and will probably cost more than it gains. —Roger Yarrington.
