As The Kansan Sees It
"Don't let this 'teaching' throw you, Stupidheimer,—just talk a leg off 'em for the whole period an' they won't have a chance to ask questions."
Dear Editor
Editor's Note: Letters continue to come in with no signatures. Our policy is, and always has been, to file such letters in the wastebasket. If you so state, we will withhold the name of the writer from publication.
Keep the letters coming, but put your "John Henry" on them too.
Band Says 'Thanks'
Dear Editor:
We of the K.U. band were pleased to read K. C. Stephenson's letter (March 11.)
Such letters as this do much for the band's morale. It is so seldom that we hear anything other than "Why can't the drummer stay in step?" etc., that we don't know whether to write Mr. Stephenson a personal letter or offer to play two choruses of "The Crimson and Blue" at his wedding to express our gratitude.
I'm sure few people realize the band is really a "utility" organization. Our season, unlike those of football, basketball, track, etc., begins with the New Student convocation and ends after Commencement exercises. Of course, parades, tours, and concerts are incidental.
The K.U. band ranks among the top nationally. This prominence has been achieved by hard work and cooperation on the part of both the band and Russell Wiley, our director. We are proud of our band and its work.
We would like to thank Mr. Stephenson for his time and effort in writing about us.
Richard Bennett President, K.U. band
Praises Orchestra
Dear Editor:
Before anyone entirely despairs of the good taste of K.U. students, let him listen to the comments about the superlative concert by
Chalk Talk
A student enthusiastically said to a friend after the concert by the Cincinnati symphony "There was so much improvement that you never would know that orchestra was the Cincinnati orchestra"
His friend replied dryly, "Well, maybe so, but I gathered from the program that it was."
Rent Hike Up To Senate
One University student has been riding the bus four days in succession and each time he carries an unstrung tennis racket. Whether he plays tennis the hard way or forgets to leave the racket at the shop, is fast becoming the question in the minds of a lot of bus riders.
After the announcement was made that several high positions in Union Activities were open, an ambitious young woman walked into the office and asked just what she had to be able to do to get one of the jobs.
After this column carried an expose of the life-saver eating professor, that gentleman was reported to have told his class, "I really wasn't trying to conceal it from the class."
One of the office workers asked "Do you play bridge?"
When a recent speaker made use of the old quotation, "Beauty without grace is a hook without bait," one coed went directly to a dictionary to look up the word "grace." Got to get that hook baited you know before spring gets here and the suckers start running.
the Cincinnati orchestra and contrast them with those which followed the recent "Barber of Seville" when—the house-top shouting of the local critics notwithstanding—one's olfactory sense was offended by more than the skunk which fittingly wandered in or the perpetual Y.M.C.A.-gym order of Hoch auditorium these days
Washington, March 18 - (U.P.) More than half of the nation's rent-paying families would face a 5 per cent rent boost Oct. 1 if congress approves a senate "automatic increase" proposal.
William B. Bracke Instructor in English
The rent increase formula was worked out by a senate subcommittee in an effort to give landlords a "fair return." It drew fire from some quarters and praise from others as the senate banking committee prepared for final action on the proposal today.
The rent bill, which would extend controls for 15 months, is slated for debate on the senate floor tomorrow.
Under the senate measure, approved Wednesday by a banking subcommittee, rent ceilings would be increased 5 per cent every six months—beginning Oct. 1—up to a total of 15 per cent. The 5 per cent would be based on June 30, 1947 rents. But the hikes would apply only on units where tenants have not signed so-called "voluntary" leases for 15 per cent rises, or where rents have not been raised by general increases.
The maximum increase still would be 15 per cent, but it would apply on top of any "hardship" rises granted the landlord by the housing expeditor—and the landlord still could apply for more.
A spokesman for the housing expediter estimated that more than half the nation's tenants would be hit by the first increase—fewer by the others.
