Off The Same Campaign Brickpile
By Daniel Bishop, St. Louis Star-Times
According to the financial report released by the council treasurer, the A.S.C. lost $1,213.51 on University dances during the 1947-48 school year. The A.S.C. also lost money on the dances in 1946-47.
During 1946-47 and 1947-48 the council had a hard time finding a competent dance manager. Perhaps this had something to do with the fact it was not able to break even on the all-school dances.
The Editorial Page—
In the past, the position of dance manager was one of the best political handouts on the campus. About 10 years ago the manager could make enough money from the job to pay him for the time and effort involved in making the dances attractive to the students. Now the manager gets $5 for each dance providing the dance is open to all students and features a band. The social committee of the A.S.C. also can exempt a sponsoring organization from having to pay this fee.
ASC's False Economy
The result of paying these measly wages can readily be seen. The dances are not handled properly because the manager is not interested. He only gets $5 regardless of how much time and effort he spends making the dances successful. The A.S.C., through its false sense of economy, is saving a few dollars on the salary of one student and losing thousands on dances.
Securing orchestra bookings, handling advertising, and the other details for an all-school dance at K.U. is a big job. It requires a lot of skill and experience. If operated right the dances would pay their own way and furnish a worthwhile salary for the manager.
If the A.S.C. wants to save money and serve the students by sponsoring worthwhile dances, it would do well to consider increasing the dance manager's salary. For the salary the A.S.C. is now paying, it is getting the kind of results it deserves. —J.L.R.

Cambridge's Fire Fighting Chaplain Haunted By Some Tragic Memories
Cambridge, Mass. — (UP) —The "best darned fireman in the department." That's what Cambridge firemen say about their chaplain, the Rev. Thomas J. Tierney.
The big, square-jawed Catholic priest is one of the city's hardest-working firemen. In the past year alone, he answered 531 alarms.
For 16 years, Father Tierney has been there—cassock, rosary, boots helmet and rubber coat.
He is as quick and capable as any member of the department, firemen say, at manning a hose line or scrambling over a window sill.
“His entire face was burned away, but I knew who he was from the back of his neck,” the chaplain says. “I'd looked at the back of that boy's neck many a time in my Sunday school class and on my basketball team.
Father Tierney has some sad memories, but none more tragic than
"Just that morning he had been married. Not two feet away sat his bride—dead."
Just as he arrived, two firemen were lifting a chair with "a boy from my parish sitting straight up in it."
his experience at the Cocoonat Grove holocaust in which 491 persons perished in Boston Nov. 28, 1942.
UnusualJobsOpen For KU Students
There are many opportunities for students who are looking for the unusual in part-time work, according to Miss Martha Peterson, assistant dean of women.
Openings range from popcorn sellers at football games to models for the fine arts drawing and painting classes. There is also a position for a woman interested in planning musical programs or selling cosmetics or shampoo to the women on the campus. The Gilbert research foundation is searching for a student to gather material for student opinion polls.
In contrast, there are a group of students offering a variety of unusual talents to employers. An accomplished German language secretary, who has had experience in China; a Spanish interpreter, and a designer of stage settings are a few representatives of this group.
