he Jayhawker—
Some of the charges that have been leveled at the Jayhawken arbook are that it costs too much, that it always ends the year the red, and that it is a Greek memory book.
Through investigation of information supplied by Bill Howell, itor of this year's Jayhawker, the controversy has been somewhat rifted.
The Jayhawker is normally completely self-supporting. Stunts say $5.25 is too much to pay. Actually it costs $8 a copy to int each Jayhawker. And that's a loss of $2.75 an issue, considering only the subscription price.
The Jayhawker has ended in the red on occasions. Mailing costs the last issue of the 1949 Jayhawker, which came out quite late, set the balance sheet. We won't concern ourselves with the rea- whether it was mismanagement or otherwise.
The so-called Greek memory book carries a minimum of 4,000 iterent student pictures. That is two-thirds of the student body d the Greeks comprise only one-third.
There are forty pages of senior pictures with 24 pictures to the ge; 50 pages of pictures of organized houses—each organization charged $60 a page; 10 pages of freshman pictures, and 20 pages voted to pictures of various activities. And there are many mislaneous pictures, some of which are pictures of students inuded in one of the group pictures.
But even taking this into account, and using the average number of pictures a page, the minimum figures show that at least 4,000 different student pictures are included in the Jayhawker. We're not ring it couldn't be more representative, though.
The Jayhawker always appears to be in the red before the auth issue comes out, but at the end of the year, the budget is lanced—a credit to the editor and business manager who work about 25 cents an hour.
Bill fowell has prepared the following statistics on the budget; rich is expected to balance this year;

I hate to admit it, but I'm afraid I'm all washed up as a baby-ter. I hope. It's such a wearing job. And not at all in the place I'd expect a baby-sitter to wear.
Last week I was called upon to ride herd on a bunch of mangy mavericks who call themselves Hopalong Cassidy, Roy Rogers, d Gene Autry. These rootin't tootin' embryo cowhands, after having been cooped up in the home corral all winter, stamped out the back yard with the first chinook wind last week and busied emselves with their spring roundup and branding.
I rescued the cat three times from their branding iron and made em stop bulldogging the dog after it became so tired its tail grabbed a furrow through the wife's freshly planted flower bed, but to mention the lump over the left ear that I suffered when one them dropped me with a gun butt in a "bar-room" brawl. I put my foot down then. Right in the noose of a concealed-lasso which somatically yanked, causing me to fall and be jumped by Cassidy, peers, and Autry, Inc. It was humiliating.
Like I say, it was wearing.
And then it happened. Cassidy showed Rogers and Autry how I jump off the back porch "cliff" on to a "stagecoach," the wife's new galvanized wash tub. Rogers and Autry then climbed to the off where Cassidy promptly aided their "jump" with a well-aimedick. Rogers broke his left arm and Autry suffered a bruised and cratched back. I roped Cassidy and took him into custody andok Rogers and Autry to the sawbones for treatment.
At long last I turned the patched-up cowhands back to their others and went home for a little rest. But I can't get over the city looks I received from the boys' mothers. They lead me to lieve that I'm all washed up as a baby-sitter. I hope.
I'm too young to die. I'd rather just fade away.

Letters—
Is Bennett Right?
To the editor,
What a man this Pfc. Robert E. Bennett must be! Besides fighting the Communists in Korea, he has found time to acquaint himself with the General's attitudes as well as qualifying himself as spokesman for "we in the Orient."
When I was in the Marine Corps, I found it took all my time just keeping my rifle clean enough to satisfy the lieutenant.
Private First Class Bennett even goes so far as to set himself up as a top policy maker, when he says to talk of not spreading the war is to speak of hopes and to turn our backs on the facts. . . That sounds not unlike a statement from the general's press agent, Maj. Gen. Courtney Whitney.
Unlike Bennett, I see nothing encouraging in all this hullabaloo MacArthur was greeted with upon his "return" here. In it I see a faint tendency of this country's drifting into a militaristic state. It isn't heartening to me to think that some day our Far Eastern foreign policy may be shaped by a stage-struck general with a knack for coining maudlin phrases.
Just remember before attributing qualities of great leadership to MacArthur, that when he first caught the public's fancy, American propagandists were looking mighty hard for a hero. When he uttered his "I shall return" statement, the public relations officer knew they had found their man. This all points to the supposition that maybe the general is a better phrase coiner than a military strategist.
Bennett's closing sentence proves him to be by no means a mean man with the emotional words.

US Youth Advised On Troubled Times
Editor's note: When Dr. Daniel L, Marsh retired after 25 years as president of Boston university, the United Press asked him what advice he would give to a young man reaching college age. He asked him to down the following counsel for today's youth, faced with the draft and the other problems of living in a world without peace.
By DR. DANIEL L. MARSH FOR UNITED PRESS
Boston—I have been asked to draw upon my varied knowledge and wide experience to tell a young man what I think he should do on reaching college age at this perilous time. What course should he pursue toward a career?
In the second place, so far as he can determine his own course, let him decide to get an education at any cost.
My answer is very simple at the same time very sincere. He should first of all establish guiding principles and ideals for his life. Let him look to the great leaders of the race, such as Jesus, for character ideals, and then let him live up to those ideals at any cost.
Let him never be ashamed of standing for the right as against the wrong. Let him be pure in his thinking, abstemious in his practices and clean in his life.
Education is the leading out of the whole individual into an efficient and rightly integrated personality. The more full-orbed education a person has, the richer will be his personal life and the easier it will be for him to make a living while he has the abundant life.
If the government interferes by its demand for military service, let the youth accept it only as a deferment of his plan for an education and then let him plan his life and live his plan in such a way as to secure the best equipment for a life of beauty, truth and goodness.
Let the youth early learn that one does not get along well in this world without friends, but that no one can have friends unless he is worthy of them. That means that he must be kind, considerate, magnanimous and forgiving.
To sum it up, let the youth who confronts these perilous times get as perfect a picture as possible of the kind of man he would like to be 25 or 50 years from now, then let him measure that ideal man against the finest and best persons he knows, and then let him begin to live right now the kind of life he is ambitious to be living 25 or 50 years from now.
I want to point out that at the time my husband, Bob Bennett, wrote the letter printed in Monday's Kansan, he was in a hospital recovering from a North Korean bullet, and not merely "serving with the armed forces in Japan." The fact may add more weight to his words which do represent the viewpoint of most of those fighting the Korean War, as proved by a copy of the Stars and Stripes which he sent back.
Mrs. Bennett's Views
To the editor:
To set the record straight, the initials after his name should be U.S. M.C.R.—the "R", which you omitted, standing for reserves. Only a year removed from a law degree, he hadn't planned to spend the winter in Korea. Since there was no choice, however, he and the others with him feel that it would be nice to fight to win. Naturally, I want my husband home, but the old "Heartbreak Highway" never led in this direction.
