Evans-Honor Man Indeed
The highest honor of this University has been paid to a man who has helped so much to put this school "on the map." It was only a natural that "Riffin" Ray would be given this accolade.
Seldom from the student body of any University comes a man who has the qualities of scholar, athlete, leader, and good citizen. K.U. has found such a man in Ray Evans.
Quiet and unassuming, he has taken his laurels in the manner befitting a good sportsman and a sincere competitor. He has never let the praise of his fellow students or that of the sports writers turn his head. Only recently has he agreed to play professional football and everyone believed that he made the right choice. His presence with that group of salaried players will mean a grea deal in raising the standards of that national sport. He will carry with him the same fine qualities which made him so well-liked here.
which made him His wide abilities made him the seniors' choice for their class president. His fellow athletes honored him with the captainacy of both the football and basketball squads. Sports writers were high in their praise for Ray, and it was always a threat to watch a game in which he participated. He is one of five athletes in the history of collegiate sports who have been named first team All-American in both football and basketball.
Ray played the game for sport, and he guided his college career along business lines so that he could prepare for a future other than athletics. He recently made his first step in this direction by joining a Kansas City bank.
His interest in helping any worthwhile organization in any way that he can, is shown by his present speaking tour for the American Legion in various towns across Kansas promoting the Legion baseball program. In the minds of the youngsters, he is the only individual to do the job. He is their hero. He is a product of a Kansas school. This summer many young boys at play will yell, "Watch me, watch the way I do it, I'm Ray Evans." Ray is a young boy's idol, and he deserves to be.
Yes, the choice this year was not difficult—for Ray Evans is an Honor man indeed.
The Hollywood know - it - alis breathlessly report that Lana Turner is still as unspoiled and unaffected as the day she was discovered in a drugstore booth. If 10 years, movie stardom, three husbands, a daughter and umpteen romances can leave Lana girlishly sweet, then who's worried about the threat of Joe Stalin and the Russian army?
Russian workers recently presented Stalin with a crystal ball which he promptly placed in a museum. President Truman is reported to have suggested that Secretary Marshall open negotiations to borrow it.
Nowadays a student has to worm his way to class every morning.

Dear Editor:
Pie Praise
I should like to thank the Student Union Cafeteria employees and management for its excellent service. Those who serve the food, the checkers, and the cashiers are pleasant and courteous and fully deserve the highest praise from the student body.
The food is tasty, wholesome, and the meals are well balanced. My deepest appreciation is for the desserts, in particular the pies. For such a large institution, this is truly remarkable.
I congratulate the cafeteria staff, including those in the kitchen who actually prepare the food and deserve an equal if not a greater share of the credit. I am certain that in the future the staff will find new and better ways of serving the needs of the student body.

Dear Editor:
We should all be happy when an educational department comes down out of its ivory tower and gives its students an example of life as she is lived. We should be particularly gratified when the Romance language department lives up to its name by sponsoring a great foreign language film like "Open City." After all, what department can more appropriately advertise "Violence and Plain Sexiness. . . . Sponsored by K.U. Romance Language department!"
Yours in envy,
