Hope the "peace talk" representatives of our school had with student council members at K-State last week pans out. In glancing over coverage of the big event by the K-State Collegian our eye was caught by two statements.
Rv DON SARTEN
But we are progressing. The student councils of K-State and KU deleted words like "peace" and "fights" to stay modern. And if any "fights or activities" occur, they'll be known as "undesirable activities."
Why not just boil it down. "We aren't looking for trouble—but neither are we ducking it...If an individual, or a group, gets lost in an alcoholic fog and reverts to savage instincts, no plea by student councils is going to have much effect. No matter what school colors he may be sporting. But we might issue a gentle reminder that costs are assessed to parent schools.
So something was accomplished. We're as up to date as top drawer executives in key spots in Washington. They're awful fussy about choice of words in "getting around" sad situations, too.
"Little was accomplished except the renewal of the pact between the two schools." And, "As a token of good will, Jim Logan, KU council president, gave everyone a key chain decorated with the Jayhawker emblem. He suggested that a Wildcat decal also could adorn the trinket."
That's where it hurts the worst.
Sounds like that went over big, huh Jim?
And while we're giving a "light" treatment to serious subjects, we'd like to relay the following bit of wisdom.
Winston Churchill had a ready explanation why his horse, Colonist II, failed to win at the Ascot meeting.
"Before the race, I told the horse that this was a big race and if he won he'd never have to run again but could retire and spend the rest of his life in agreeable female company," the former British Prime Minister explained.
"Unfortunately, Colonist II did not keep his mind on the race," he equipped.
Our Slip's Showing Dept.
We'll go peaceably. But let's keep our minds on the adult level this weekend. What say?
Our Slip Showing Dept.
We've been reminded that we at the California Projons" as we carelessly inserted in a headline — of all places — Tuesday.
We were shabby all the way around yesterday. We committed an unpaidable error and took it for granted that movies of the OU-KU football game would be shown in Strong auditorium last night—for students. So when we called Dutch Lonborg, we simply asked the time.
The movies were shown all right.

Drake Filing Formal Charges Against A&M
Des Moines, Ia.—(U.P.)—The Drake University athletic council will file a formal protest charging that the block which broke star halfback Johnny Bright's jaw in Saturday's Drake-Oklahoma A and M game was "intentional."
In an angry statement, the council said at least "three vicious, malicious and intentional attacks" were made against students. The authorities' actions of football rules and ethics.
The statement, released last night after a three-hour meeting, said the council is requesting a meeting with A. E. Ellers, commissioner of the Missouri Valley Conference, not later than Sunday when the formal protest will be filed.
Bright, the nation's leading ground gainer for the past three years, suffered a broken jaw on the first play of the game at Stillwater, Okla. Trainers said the injury may end his football career.
This season's game was the eleventh meeting between KU and Colorado with Kansas riding a 6-3-2 edge.
Without bluster, without hint of pride, the curly-haired slugger explained: 'I've had 37 professional fights and I won them all, but that's not important. None of my opponents hurt me. None of them had me on the canvas even once. And any man who would stand up and fight with me I knocked out.
Modern Version Of 'John L.' Confident Of Win Over Louis
Greenwood Lake, N. Y., U.P.) Unbeaten Rocky Marciano, an extremely confident heavyweight contender, took a leaf from the book of John L. Sullivan and said recently, "I believe I can lick any man in the world."
It was an unexpected statement from the modest, soft-spoken contender who hails from the same area that produced the late, great John L.—the "Boston Strongboy"—who went swashbuckling about the land and roaring "I can lick any so-and-so in the house."
That was part of his reply when asked if he could beat ex-champion Joe, Louis in their 10-round bout at Madison Square garden, Friday night.
"Don't think I'm bragging," said the stocky, muscular Italian from Brockton, Mass. "But it's not just a question of Louis in particular. I believe I can beat him because I believe I can lick any man in the world."
"I had trouble with some cuties who wouldn't fight. But Louis is no cutie. He'll fight; and I expect to take him, probably by a knock-out."
Governor Arn Stays Neutral

New York—U.P.)—Lew Jenkins, who virtually paured his lightweight title down the drain in 18 bleary months, owned something a little more valuable today—a silver star for gallantry in action.
Casey Stengel Named AL Manager of Year
New York—(U.P.)-Clowning old Casey Stengel, who is about as funny as a smallpox epidemic to rival ball clubs, was named American League manager of the year today by the United Press upon completion of his third straight World Championship campaign with the New York Yankees.
Lew Jenkins Wins Big One
Stengel, who outfoxed his rivals with a lineup that contained only one 300 hitter, became the only
There is a citation in Washington describing how one Sgt. Verlin Jenks—Lew's real name—handled himself with "conspicuous individual gallantry" on a flaming Korean hillside a few weeks ago.
It should even the score considerably for Jenkins, who was laughed off as just another penitent lush by the Broadway commandos after his comeback failed last year. He always did have more than his share of guts inside that northorth body.
When Manager Hymie Caplin first brought Lew up to New York, Jenkins declared he'd ridden under a lot of trains but never quite got inside one. His strange, warped build created such a stir that one doctor did a special article on his physique for a local paper.
Lew had the face of a ghost, the knock-knees of a sissy and the right hand of a Firpo. The blow that knocked Lou Ambers loose from the Lightweight championship left the Herkimer, N.Y., fighter swaying on tip-toe before he went down for the count.
But with the championship in hand, Lew's affinity for those smoother ropes manipulated by headwaiters really took over.
manager in the history of the majors to win three pennants and three World Series in his first three years with a club.
As usual, his Yankees were not the pre-season pennant favorites, and as usual Stengel had to combat some knotty problems to get the club into contention after a stuttering start.
But the gravel voiced old manipulator, who has become baseball's "good humor man," kept shuffling his lineup with a daily wise crack, and found a winning combination in the stretch. In the final weeks of the campaign—when both Cleveland and Boston were in a better strategic position to finish on top—Stengel knocked out both clubs in hand-to-hand combat.
Cleveland came to New York a game in front on Sept. 16 and Stengel's scrappers trimmed the Indians twice in a row to go in front for good. Four days later the Yankees went to Boston, where they had lost eight in a row in earlier trips. Now, when it counted, they won two out of three, then came home to clinch the pennant the following weekend by drubbing Boston in a doubleheader, Allie Reynolds pitched a no-hitter in the opener.
Stengel, who once aspired to be a left handed dentist back in his home town of Kansas City, had only a succession of second division clubs when he came to the Yankees as a surprise choice for manager in 1949, he turned the American league race into an annual game of monopoly.
