One Campus Drive More Efficient
Chancellor Murphy has given a clear grant of authority to the ASC to approve or disapprove all drives seeking funds from students. This grant of authority should serve as a challenge to the ASC to enact a bill which will permit one all-inclusive drive. This drive should be the Campus Chest.
It is an unavoidable consequence of the Campus Chest type of solicitation that arbitrary apportionments of the funds to be solicited be made by a small, select group, the Campus Chest steering committee. However, organizations which participate in the Campus Chest are assured of a certain percentage of the total amount solicited. More than likely these amounts would exceed that which could be collected in independent drives from an indifferent student body.
The student who is continually asked to contribute to a variety of worthy causes soon becomes antagonistic toward all drives. How much better it would be, both from the point of view of students and of money-seeking organizations, to include all campaigns in one concerted effort.
Under the present Campus Chest bill and undoubtedly in any proposed legislation, ten per cent of the amount solicited must be retained in an emergency fund. It would be well for the ASC to consider making an outright grant to any organization not included in the Campus Chest, rather than to permit such organizations to conduct independent drives. Only in this way can the Campus Chest be the success that the administration, faculty, and students desire it to be.

Our favorite coed, Iva Latepaper, can't understand why she flunked the Marriage and Family quiz. She says that she is sure that having two wives is bigamy and that having one wife is monotony.
by Bibler
We asked her then what the name is for having three wives. She replied that that must be trigonometry.
After seeing the paint marks left on the KU campus by the Utah supporters, we became worried when we saw the scaffold around the campanile. We wondered if in their enthusiasm they had planned to dismantle it and take it home with them as a souvenir.
After the FACTS-Pachacamac debate for freshmen women, the Inter-fraternity council is considering adding North College hall to its clean up list. Some felt that so much mud had been thrown that the place looked like North Lawrence after the flood.
One of the neighbor boys back home would like to please his dad by going to the old family school back east but it is doubtful that he will. You see, although the place has an excellent faculty, the coaching staff there doesn't seem to be too hot.
KU's All-American sports fan, "Spec" Tater, thinks the athletic department should start buying footballs with handles on them. This, he says, should stop some of those disastrous fumbles the Jayhawkers have had this year.

Digs Out Old Ordinance To Control Young Jerks
I would like very much to see the Oklahoma-Kansas movies, however, or movies of the TCU-Kansas game. Had I known of the Colorado-Kansas movies, I would have gone. In other words, publicize the showing and the students will come.
San Jose, Calif.—(U.P.)—San Jose police think they've found a law to curb the latest teen-age craze.
I really don't feel that the movies of the Utah-Kansas game will provide a fair test of student interest. Having gone to the game last Saturday I have no desire to be subjected to a movie of the same.
Hot-rod drivers have discovered an ingenious way of fixing up their automobiles so they look like flame throwers. They've been speeding around the streets recently in flaming chariots.
As the car speeds up, the flames grow longer until they reach 15 or 20 feet. Unyairy pedestrians have been urged to approach the rear of suspicious automobiles with caution, although there have been no records of anyone being singed-yet
When the first such "flame thrower" appeared on the streets here recently, police arrested the driver. But they had to let him go because there was nothing on the books saying such a stunt is against the law.
The fad also has become popular in the Oregon cities of Fortland and Milwaukie, and on Long Island, N.Y. Oregon authorities reported they were temporarily stumped as to what to do about it.
It's done by tapping the exhaust pipe, inserting a spark plug and hooking it up to the auto's ignition system. This causes the exhaust fumes to explode and shoot a tongue of flame out through the tail pipe.
The same thing happened in Oregon. However, Sgt. James E. Sageser, 25, was given a suspended $25 fine in Portland yesterday for shooting flames, although he was technically prosecuted for reckless driving.
There was a short article on the sports page of Tuesday's Kansan which stated that "Due to an utter lack of student interest, movies of Jayhawker football players in action will be shown only one more time... If they don't care to see the play-by-play films, the practice will be discontinued."
Portland City Attorney Walter Ake said the city council may have to pass a special law to curb the flame throwers.
J. R. Brown
J. Menard poured through the law books until he finally came across an ordinance in the California health and safety code that looked as though it would do the trick.
In San Jose, District Attorney N.
This law says it's a misdemeanor to throw "burning substances or articles from an automobile." Menard says flame-throwers will be prosecuted under this law in the future.
More Publicity?

Exceeds Red Cross Quota
Students at the University of North Carolina have exceeded by 38 pints the assigned Red Cross blood quota. The goal set was 400 pints. It was noted that the members of the air force and naval ROTC units turned out in large numbers to help boost the donation total.
A girl student has enrolled in the naval ROTC program at the University of Oklahoma. She says she is taking naval science as an elective course because it fits in with the courses she has taken in reserve officer candidate school at Great Lakes during the summer. When she is graduated, she will be commissioned an ensign in the naval reserves and assigned to two years active duty.

Badger Bowl Is Gone Again
The Badger Bowl, symbol of Wisconsin fraternity athletic supremacy, has disappeared again. The president of Beta Theta Pi, current owner of the trophy, has said that it is difficult to understand how it happened. It was chained and padlocked to the living room floor and the only two keys to the lock belonged to him and to the housemother.
COP Features Folk Dancers
Half-time pagentry at College of the Pacific's opening football game featured more than 1,000 folk dancers. The participants came from California, Nevada, Arizona, and Oregon. Herb Greggerson, national champion square dance caller, directed the demonstration.

Beer, Fords, Ships Tied Up By Strikes
St. Louis—(U.P.)—Not a drop of bear was brewed in St. Louis today as strikes shut down all four the city's breweries. The situation reached a parching crisis Thursday when 2,500 workers at three breweries joined the 5,000 who were already on strike at the Anheuser-Busch plant.
Kansas City, Mo.—(U.P.)—About 1,200 hourly workers at the Ford assembly plant remained on strike today because of a dispute involving six men on the assembly line.
New York—(U.P.)—Rebellious longshoremen defied an order to return to work today and gave Union President Joseph Ryan a 4 p.m. deadline to reopen contract negotiations with shippers. The five-day-old wildcat walkout by 3,500 dock wallopers of the International Longshoremen's association (AFL) has crippled 37 piers in Manhattan and Brooklyn, tying up 34 ships.
Police Hunt 'Binaggio Killer'
Officers said there has been no trace of the swarthy, gold-toothed man who disappeared Thursday after trying to arrange with an attorney to surrender.
Texarkana, Ark.—(U.P.)—A city - wide police search was underway today for a stranger who said he killed Charles Binaggio, the Kansas City politician who was slain April 6, 1950.
Lifts Support In Oil Crisis
Flushing, N.Y.—(U.P.)-Yugoslavia formally withdrew its support of the British resolution before the security council today, thereby killing Britain's hope of a majority approval of United Nations action in the Anglo-Iranian oil dispute.
Francis LaCoste, speaking for France, suggested that in view of the last-minute switch depriving Britain of the seven votes necessary for its measure—a simple call for renewed negatiations—the debate should be postponed until the International Court of Justice has decided whether the oil squabble is a dispute between governments.
Truce Talks Seen Again
Red liaison officers withdrew their demand for five-mile security zones around each truce delegation's base camp and agreed instead to a UN proposal for three-mile zones. The agreement removed the biggest obstacle still preventing reopening of the truce talks.
UN Advance Base, Munsan, Korea—(U.P.)The Communists accepted a United Nations compormise proposal today and a UN spokesman cautiously predicted early resumption of the Korean armistice conference.
Britain, meanwhile, sent two more warships to the Suez Canal zone today, served notice on Egypt that she will demand damages for anti-British rioting, and barred two top Egyptian officials from the Sudan.
Postpone Atomic Tests
Berlin, Germany—(U.P.)—U.S. authorities held emergency session today to decide what to do about Communist seizure of a disputed three-square-mile area of the American sector.
More than 300 East German Communist police moved into the area Thursday, cut down trees to block roads leading to West Berlin and ordered the residents to adopt East zone currency. Posters announced that henceforth, the district would be considered a part of the nearby Soviet zone city of Potsdam.
Egypt Calls Up Reserves
Reds Seize A Berlin Area
Cairo, Egypt—(U.P.)—Egypt began calling up its Army reserves today after British forces occupied another town in the Suez Canal zone and threatened to seize Egyptian tugs.
Los Vegas, Nev.—(U.P.)—A "Mechanical fault in an electrical circuit" forced postponement of an atomic test scheduled today at the atomic energy commission's Frenchman Flat proving grounds.
A group of newspapermen standing on a hilltop near the test site saw a brilliant flash of flame early today and five minutes later heard a rumbling, booming noise. An AEC spokesman said later, however, that this resulted from a TNT explosion set off to calibrate instruments with which the scheduled nuclear test was to be recorded.
