Union Laundry?
Donald Giffin, College representative on the All Student Council, declared in an article in a recent issue of the University Daily Kansan that he was in favor of expanding the Union to include a laundry, barber shop, and dry cleaning plant. This interesting proposal is one of a group of ideas that Giffin intends to push during this semester.
Coming from a Council member who represents nearly one-half of the student body, the proposal must be regarded as more than idle chatter. So we asked Giffin to elaborate.
These are logical, thought-provoking ideas. They cause one to ask, "Why not?" Obviously some careful thinking about students' welfare has been done by a member of the student governing body—something that seems to happen quite rarely.
He said that an addition to the Union would not necessarily need to be located on the campus, but could be built on University property nearer student homes. Both students and faculty members could take advantage of the non-profit services. Again, as in his original proposal, he stressed the fact that the idea is not revolutionary. Many state universities have long operated cooperative laundries.
Financing the long-range plan could be handled in the same manner as the present 1 million dollar addition to the Union.
It will be remembered that Giffin took the lead in the Council's successful action to make basketball tickets transferable among students. He is currently trying to build up a ward system that would be of great benefit to independent students.
Giffin is the first to realize the limited power of the All Student Council and the magnitude of the laundry plan. The probable fight that would develop in attempting to carry out these ideas would be long and hard. Opposition could be expected from many quarters. We wonder how many students would back him. We wonder, too, if the proposal could be just another political northwind blowing across the campus.
Post-Hypnotic 'A'
Edward J. Chapin.
At last a solution to study, cramming, and examinations has been found. In the future, the tedium and monotony of class after class may be obsolete.
A recent national magazine carries an article by Dr. G. H. Estabrooks, chairman of the department of psychology at Colgate university, in which he states that it is now possible to hypnotize a person so that after awakening he will perform any act or remember anything the hypnotist so desires.
In the future, perhaps, the student will be placed under hypnosis. His instructor reads to him the contents of a textbook. He supplements his reading with any pertinent comments. Then, presto, the student is awakened and the precepts of economics, French, or British history are lodged in his subconscious mind, available, if the instructor so stipulates, upon call.

available, if the instructor, so help.
By that future date, however, the student may also have a working knowledge of hypnosis. The scene is the same. Before the instructor has a chance to start, the student says, "Professor, you are beginning to get sleepy, ah-yes, v-e-r-y sleepy, sleepy."
"I am your best friend, professor, your best friend. I am also your best student, y-e-s, I am a genius. When you awake, you will become obsessed with a burning desire to give me an A in the course, y-e-s, p-r-o-f-e-s-s-o-r, a-n A-A-a-a-a------- Keith Leslie

'Small Things'
"Quit shovin' ya bum!" "Hey, that's my foot your steppin' on, bud." "I was here first, jack!" "Where's my wings?" All because a Miss Nancy (what was her name) Ann Corrigan is now a flight instructor.
"Bamboo Booms at Kansas" says a record advertisement headline, and as far as we know the China jute is coming along splendidly, too.
"Jay Janes Rush Women At Tea" says a headline, and Rodney Nipnap, Student Union junior, says there's a law against things like that.
Coins of India are on display at Spooner-Thayer, and all Money and Banking students are urged to attend.
Colorado beat K.U. in overtime, and the purity boys point out that it just proves their claim about over-subsidization in the Big Seven. ___
Dr. Franklin D. Murphy, dean of the School of Medicine, was named one of the 10 outstanding young men of the nation, and the next you know, he will pop up on the list of the 10 best dressed men.
The fog that has settled upon the campus is the second one to arrive since the start of the new semester according to the seniors who wanted to coast this time.
