Campus Publications Entertain And Inform
—Photos by Grant Greenback
Top campus editors are (left to right): James Scott, Daily Kansan; Marian Rippetean, Jayhawker; Richard Barton, Sour Owl; and Tom Milligan, Bitter Bird.
With the avowed purpose of keeping students informed and entertained, campus editors are working hard to beat rival publications to the newstands.
More than 16 magazines, newspapers, and pamphlets present a cross sectional view of the student body, reflecting the many varied activities of college life.
Keeping the University Daily Kansan among the 10 top campus publications in the country is the aim of James W. Scott, journalism senior and editor-in-chief.
"The news and advertising students are working harder than ever to put out a better paper. We print more local news than most college newspapers," Scott said.
Marian Rippleeau, College senior,
is editor of the glossy, photo-feature
Jayhawker, which is published four
times each school year.
"By distributing the leather cover with the first issue and using color throughout the year book, we plan to enliven this year's Jayhawker," Miss Rippeteau said.
The Sour Owl, official University humor magazine, is the product of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity. Richard Barton, journalism senior, editor, describes this year's contents of the Sour Owl as being "clean but not the Sunday school type." The magazine is sponsoring a contest for material.
Vying for student favor in the humor field and published six times each year, the Bitter Bird is distributed by a group of students interested in providing some "light reading." Tom Milligan, editor, engineering senior, explained, "We publish what we think the students want."
Constance Kendal, education junior, editor of Trend feels that the Quill club's magazine gives fledging authors a chance to try their wings. Trend is published three times each year displaying interest in the creative writing field.
Charles Walker, engineering senor, editor of the 35-year-old Kansas Engineer, has opened the pages of that magazine to students interested in writing about technical engineering subjects. It is the official publication of the School of Engineering and Architecture.
Robert L. Simonton, journalism senior, is editor of the Y.M.C.A. monthly official bulletin, Y-Jayhawker. The Y-Knot is published by the Y.W.C.A.
Albert Roland, graduate student, watches the world's political and intellectual developments as the editor of Ustream.
The Bibler cartoon book, called Little Man On Campus, will be out soon with 50 or more pages of humor. Dean Knuth, journalism senior and editor of L.M.O.C. said that this issue will be the best in the series.
The K.U. Calendar will be in the form of a desk engagement book illustrated by Paul Coker, fine arts sophomore. Frank Obenland, editor, College senior, hopes to have it out in December.
Richard L. Hamilton, business senior, editor of the Student Directory said the last name lists have gone to

Chapter To Re-activate

Women's Influence Improves Politics, Legislator Believes
Politics has been vastly improved since women have been elected to public office. Mrs. John N. Van der Vries, a former University student and now a member of the Illinois state legislature, said during a recent visit to the campus.
vs. Van der Vries, originally from Holton, Kan., attended the 1909 She
Mrs. Van der Vries, originally University from 1907 to 1909. She is a member of Pi Beta Phi, social sorority. She married John N. Van der Vries, a professor of mathematics at the University. Now one of four women in the Illinois legislature, she is serving her eighth term as Republican representative of the seventh senatorial district.
"Wherever women have gotten into politics, they have made great contributions," Mrs. Van der Vries said. "Much worthwhile legislation, especially in the fields of education and social welfare, has been passed because of them."
"But I think politics is still of pretty discouraging quality. People don't pay enough attention to nominees. This is especially true after elections. As for women's place in politics, men like them to do party work, such as ringing doorbells, but they don't open the doors too wide when it comes to making party policy."
Mrs. Van der Vries was one of the legislators who fought a program pushed by anti-vivisectionists (those persons who oppose the use of small animals such as dogs, cats, and mice in medical research) during May and June. She was also instrumental in obtaining a hospital school for spastic children in Chicago. She is a board member of the Illinois Society of Mental Hygiene, and as its representative is attending the annual meeting of the Menninger foundation in Topeka Wednesday.
The Illinois legislator attributes the development of her interest in politics to the League of Women Voters, which she joined after moving to Winnetka, Ill. She was elected to the state legislature 15 years ago. "A young woman who wants to get into politics has a difficult problem," she said. "About the only advice I can give is to be a good door-bell ringer. Political parties are afraid to pick someone out of the blue. They like to know the person has been active in the precinct and worked for the party, but they are not inclined to give women or young people many opportunities."
