Hear Ye!
Arise! ye future citizens of the nations! Arise! as ye take the final step in preparation of your entry into the economic wilds of life in the outside world. And, as ye venture forth into the unknown, do not fear to use the mighty weapon which you have forged during thy years of incubation at ye Big State U.
Do not ask, "What weapon?" in such a timid voice, be ye brave like the lion. "What weapon?" Why, that powerful shield which will defend the from the perils of thinking for thyself. Now ye ask "What shield?" Oh ye stupid and incredulous neo-phytel! "What Shield?" Oh ye miserable questioners! Have the four years spent at one of the institutions which form the very pillars of thought availed the naught?
phars of thought affected with if ye have not been endowed with the "me-too" attitude which serves as a shield to ward off the darts of self-concieved thought, is it the fault of the institution?
That is the only way to get along and live at peace with the world.
world.
Let the magazines pre-digest the news; then have the columnists do thy thinking. Let "me tobiism" reign supreme. It is easier that way.
If anyone says anything, just say "me too."
Have ye the proper "me too" attitude? If not, be concerned. Ye are the deviate; the lonely soul. Thank the gods ye are one tiny minority and will have little effect on the more fortunate ones who are content to go through life without thinking for themselves. Nelson Ober
Walkout
There's been some talk going around about the possibility of a walkout Monday if K. U. wins the game tomorrow.
We want to win the game as much as everyone else does. We've been looking forward to this game all season, and we're sure that K. U. will win—the team seems to have come up to its potentialities the past two weeks, and the spirit of the student body couldn't be better.
But about this walkout. Wouldn't it be an insult to the team and to student spirit if a minority of the student body used a hard-fought victory as an excuse to play hooky?
Remember, we haven't won yet. The team needs all the backing and spirit the student body can give it. Let's forget about Monday and concentrate on tomorrow. After all, Thanksgiving isn't too far away.
'Small Things'
Hal Middlesworth, the Oklahoma sportswriter who predicted last week's game to be 41 to 7, favor of A. and M., now reports that "Kansas couldn't do anything wrong and the Aggies couldn't do anything right." And what about Hal, what did he do?
Four thousand K-Staters are expected to attend the game tomorrow, and what an ideal day for the local chamber of commerce to take the census.
Some are real.
The Society for the Advancement of Management took a field trip to the Goetz Brewing company at St. Joseph yesterday. Couldn't they have saved a lot of money by just dropping down to Johnny's?
Statistics show that the American age average is creeping upward, and the only people who are happy about it are the used car dealers, who look forward to the day when they can more truthfully say, "A beauty. Belonged to an elderly couple who hardly even drove it around the block."
Letter From an Old Alum: Young Man: I attended the University 45 years ago. It was my misfortune to return for a visit last week. This generation has gone to the dogs. In my day, it meant something to be able to go to school. You whippersnappers have no idea what it means to walk through two or three miles of snow just to get an education. In my day, we knew what we wanted, and we worked to get it. Even your newspaper is filled with trivia. In my day, we didn't even need a paper. Cars? Busses? Bah! We didn't know the meaning of the words. You're all soft. Soft, I say, and you'll suffer for it when you get out in the world of harsh reality. In my day, we knew the meaning of the word work. Whippersnappers. Yours, George D.
Try to hold out, men. If veterans' checks don't arrive within the week, we hear that Red Cross disaster units stand ready to move in.
Good feeling will overflow at the game tomorrow when the two student councils, the two deans of men and Chancellor Malott and President Eisenhower will all sit together. Next year we look to see Ralph Graham sitting on the lap of J. V. Sikes down on the bench.
