Eight dollars buys him a "complete and unbridged" set of notes, sold by this scavenger who guarantees they "will pull you through in a breeze." With only a little study, the student discovers the course curriculum has changed considerably, rendering the notes useless.
Seven dollars enrolls him in the notorious "Cram Course," a rather unique institution on this or any other campus. Upon discovery, the University promptly boots it from the Pine room
One dollar and 70 cents buys this harbinger of midnight oil, the Western Civilization manual. This hapless student is apparently unaware of the fate awaiting him.
A Picture Editorial
Fifteen cents for the first of innumerable cups of coffee. And that is his first cigaret.

'The Big Fix' or 'Western Civ'
on the ground that no paid lecturers are allowed there. The Community building is just as good, however.
Ten dollars (at a minimum) backs up his pice to a campus brain to illegally take the quiz for him. The brain, nobody's fool, is obviously holding out for more. Chances are he'll get it.
And guess who takes the quiz and who gets the credit? Something's rotten here. A doubting Thomas (proctor) surveys the situation.
Worth it? asks the luckless youngster, giving vent to his emotions upon receiving a "D—" grade. Well, somebody made money out of the deal. Who says the Western Civ department is Socialistic! This looks like pure Capitalism, $26.85 worth.

Daily Kansan Editorials
Popularity Versus Politicians
Can General Eisenhower win the Republican presidential nomination?
His biggest obstacle at the present time is Senator Robert Taft, but he also has other obstacles to overcome in order to win the nomination.
He cannot actively campaign. He cannot even directly declare that he is a candidate. Army regulations do not allow those on active duty to declare themselves as political candidates and so Ike must leave his campaign to friends.
According to Time magazine's poll. Taft has already nailed down 400 votes of the nominating committee. Ike can count on 300. There are 500 votes remaining.
Public sentiment does not necessarily reflect itself in the nominating committee's voting, and so any public sentiment for Eisenhower can just about be discounted.
The Republicans know what Senator Taft stands for. He is conservative, in disagreement with the present foreign policy, and an old party regular. They know little about Ike. About all they know is that Eisenhower supports the present foreign policy at least in regard to NATO, his job now.
Since Taft is an organization man, Republicans can count on him to award jobs if he is elected. Eisenhower is not an organization man and therefore owes nothing to the Republican organization regulars.
The recent Truman scandals have driven down Democratic prestige. The Republicans now have a good campaign issue and believe that any Republican nominated can win. With this in mind the opinion is that since Taft is an organization man, why bother with Eisenhower?
Senator Lodge's statements Sunday at least put Eisenhower into the political ring, and thus prevent a stampede to Taft in the absence of Ike.
Editorial opinion has begun with support for Ike. The New York Times has said that Eisenhower is "superbly equipped" for the presidency, and the Chicago Sun-Times states that "Eisenhower can best bring unity to a free world."
This editorial opinion will at least keep the Taft movement down and tide the Eisenhower movement until Ike can speak for himself.
Senators Lodge, Duff, and Carlson have a terrific job, for Eisenhower has stated that he will run only if drafted. They have until July to put on a winning show for Eisenhower, but what is the play Hamlet without a Hamlet?
-Joe Lastelic.
A Chamber of Commerce safety slogan says "Don't kill your holiday by accident." Implying, of course, that anyone planning to kill it deliberately may do so without fear of reprisal from the Chamber.
Football may be all right as a sport, but for good, clean fun there is nothing like trying to bribe an income tax official.
Comments...
Coach "Phog" Allen's recent charge of stalling in the construction of the new fieldhouse really should have been expected. Wasn't he the one who not long ago sounded off at the control style of basketball?
A sports headline says "28 Gorillas Get Letters." It is things like this that give sports a bad name.
They are the same ones who clapped when Senator Lodge was named to head the Eisenhower movement rather than Senator Saltenstall.
Governor Arn of Kansas and Senator Kem of Missouri announce that they will be candidates to succeed themselves and headline writers throughout the middle west cheer.
