sweaters as they stepped off the train soon changed their minds and reached for their suitcases.
Not many K. U. students missed famous Miami Beach, with its 60-cent hamburgers and 1550-model bathing suits. Sometimes referred to as the "rich man's paradise," the beach offered a challenge to the tourist who had to do everything with one eye on the billfold.
Without a room in one of the choice hotels, swimming was out, except for the few widely scattered spots where the public was allowed to roam unmolested. So the simplest solution probably was a 15-minute shower in a downtown hotel room.
Got a Camera, Bud?
For camera fiends, Miami Beach was a wonderful haven. Many K. U. ex-servicemen resurrected calls of "ooh la la" last used on the streets of Gay Paree.
Stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Pierre's On The Boulevard were proof to the tourist that Miami Beach was the Florida version of New York's fashion center.
After three days of constant performances and rehearsals, the band finally had a chance to relax Friday. They went on a sightseeing tour of Miami Beach and the Everglades. On Miami Beach they saw the homes of some of the biggest "names" of the country. The winter estates of Al Capone, the Warner Brothers and the owners of Staley Starch Company, Luden's Cough Drops, and Morton's Salt were pointed out.
The band saw Chinese and French architectural styles exemplified in the respective "villages" of these nationalities. They saw tropical oddities such as a sausage tree and a huge banyan tree said to be large enough to cover 7,000 men. Band Viels Hialeah
The group visited the Hialeah race track, and were told that the track nets from one to three million dollars daily during the racing season. Band members went swimming at the home of Bernard Maccadin in the largest man-made salt-water pool in the world. They formed a large "K" on the beach in swimming suits for a Life photographer.
Band Visits Hialeah
The tour ended at 5 p. m. Friday, and band members had their first chance to go souvenir-shopping. Weary but happy, they boarded their homeward-bound special Friday evening, and the only grips heard were those of students who were reluctant to trade Miami life for schoolwork.
Don "Red" Ettinger, tackle, and Joe Crawford, guard, added an inongrous note to the homeward departure of the Orange Bowl Special by showing up at the station "to see the cheerleaders off."
After receiving the welcome of the crowd, Ettinger came through with a short, pointed speech. "If we didn't beat anything else, we sure as hell beat the Miami bookies." (The bookies had settled for eight-point odds at game time).
Joe Crawford remained his usual quiet self with no comment.

it's fine promotion for the prize.
"Miami is a swell place," said University High School coach Bob Powers, who also went on the special train. "It's got it all over California. Miami gave Kansas one great reception."
Kansans Well-Mannered
The Kansas delegation came in for some few choice bits of praise from its Miami hosts. The manager of the Pan-American hotel, where part of the band stayed, said he had never been associated with or had in his hotel any group of college students that was more mannerly or less trouble to accommodate. The other hotel managers dealing with Kansas delegates concurred, agreeing that it was a pleasure to serve the K.U. rooters.
John G. Thompson, Orange Bowl committee chairman, added that the Miami reception group was tremendously impressed with the players and members of the coaching staff also. "We're never seen a finer bunch of fellows," he said.
Frisco railroad escort Hugh Fanning heartily agreed that the Kansas group was an excellent group to deal with.
"They're the finest bunch of people I've ever been associated with on a train, and the easiest to handle," he said. "They are co-operative in every sense of the word. My only regret is that we didn't win."
Thirty six hundred dollars has already been collected by the World Student Service fund drive, Ned Linegar, Y.M.C.A. secretary and drive director, announced recently.
The drive, which closes at the end of the semester, is $200 over last year's final figure and may reach the $4,000 mark, Mr. Linegar said. The success of this year's effort is due to the hard work of the staff led by co-chairman Hilda James and Robert Stewart.
Having Trouble With Your Note Taking? A Course In Stenotypy Is The Solution
In addition to money donations W.S.W.F. will soon begin to collect used textbooks for shipments overseas, Mr. Linegar said. He asks that all students, especially those in organized houses, look for old books that are not in use. These texts will be used by students in foreign countries where the supply of books is limited.
If you have not gotten your student directories yet you can still get them at either the Registar's office or the student Union bookstore according to Raymond King, business manager of the directories.

You Can Still Get Your Directory
If you're one of those shorthand students who can't transcribe your notes, a solution is offered in the new secretarial training course Stenotypy.
(2017)
19. Write a program that reads the number of students and their成绩 from the user and prints the sum of their scores.
The University became one of the first schools to offer a stenotype course when its first class in Stenotypy was opened last year.
Ex-Hollywoodite Now Writes For KFKU
According to Federal statistics more than 60 per cent of America's farmers have automobiles and live on hard surface roads.
Stenotyping combines shorthand and typing in transcribing verbatim material. Two semesters of stenotypy are equal to three semesters of shorthand, according to Miss Ida Newcomb, instructor in the secretarial training department.
Two other advantages of the stenotype system are that the secretary can watch the lips of the person dictating, and anyone can transcribe the notes recorded by the stenotype machine. Miss Newcomb said the stenotype machine has replaced shorthand pads in many courts, and was used in the war trials in Germany.
Leaving Hollywood for Lawrence would seem to be a reverse step to success, but Gene Courtney, College senior, doesn't think so. Gene, the dramatic script writer for KFKU, gave up his work in the 'glamour town' last August to complete his training in radio and dramatics at K.U.
The stenotypist takes dictation on a machine having 23 keys and a numeral bar, and resembling a typewriter. Spelling is based on sound. Letters which are omitted can be made by depressing two keys simultaneously. The word "crime" would be spelled "kreupl," the "eu" standing for "I" and the combination "pl" being pressed for "m." This may sound hard, but a good stenotypist can take 110 words of dictation a minute, after two semesters of stenotypy.
When he left Hollywood he was theater". "To accomplish this I started taking lessons from my future boss at 15 dollars an hour and paid for them by selling shoes," he said.
In the opinion of Gene the people in Hollywood are one extreme or the other. "They either think they're tops or have no confidence at all. Most of the 'young hopefuls' will never admit that their high school dramatics teachers could ever be wrong," he said.
Eventually, Gene would like to be a producer and writer for a network. "In the meantime, however, I'll go on enjoying 'Johnnie Jaynawk' and the 'Women of Kansas.' They've all become very personal friends of mine," he said.
The YWCA community service commission had a Christmas party for 16 junior high school girls in the Pine room of the Union recently.
Carol Ann Hastings, College sophomore, and Carolyn Carter, College freshman, were in charge of the program. The group sang Christmas carols, accompanied by Helen Ward, Education junior.
YWCA Has Party For High School Girls
To Buy 14 Books For Union Library
Refreshments were served at Henley house by Valerie Stagg, Fine Arts sophomore, Mary Bovaird, College sophomore and Kathleen Broers, College junior.
The Union Activities library board if selectors has selected 14 new books for the Union library.

Leonard H. Axe, acting dean of the School of Business, and Dr. John Ise, professor of economics, spoke at conventions in Chicago during the holidays.
Dean Axe appeared on a panel of the American Law association which discussed "Preparations of Examinations for Business Law Students." Also on the panel was Edward Smith, professor of business law at the University of Syracuse. Professor Smith graduated from the School of Law at the University of Kansas in 1937.
Professor Ise spoke on "The Futility of Trust Busting" at a convention dinner of the American Economics association on Dec. 30. The University professor, who was formerly vice-president of the organization, reported economics leaders were concerned about the presence of fascism in the United States.
Professor Ise said reports showed Fascist leaders in our country before the war were now trying to control education through text books. This is being done by writing college trustees and condemning many harmless books as subversive.
Also attending the American Economics meeting were Jack Chernick, assistant professor of economics; L. J. Pritchard, associate professor of finance; and L. L. Waters, head of the bureau of business research.
