Must Have Life As Well As Form
By Daniel Bishop, St. Louis Star-Times
KU Should Help
So far the University has done practically nothing publicly in getting a band trip fund raising campaign under way. Several alumni groups, the Topeka papers, W. I. B. W., and the governor have taken the initiative.
Feeling that it's time to give students an opportunity to do their share, the Jay James have set up contribution collection points in Frank Strong rotunda, the Union, and they have contributed $65, including donations of 50 cents a member.
You have heard the arguments for and against a trip. Although the band has been faithful to the team for many years, we think that is not the issue at hand. The point is this venture is that the band should go to perform another service to the University—put on a good show, boost the team, and bring prestige to the state of Kumjas.
The campaign certainly is not a half-baked affair cooked up by partisans of the band. The governor himself is so enthusiastic about the venture that he has contributed $10 of his own and agreed to shoulder the responsibility of collection.
Any student contribution will be acceptable. If every student gave 25 cents, the University would be more than 2,250 nearer the goal.
The Jay Janes have started the Mt. Oread campaign snowball rolling. It's up to you to give it a shove toward Miami.
To All Alike?
Dear Editor,
The University administration is to be praised for its recent endorsement of the I. S. A. social welfare committee report. In that action the administration displayed a sincere
desire to help the students.
But one wonders why the administration does not show equal interest in another segment of the student population—the Negro students. They are daily denied access to many restaurants, places of entertainment, and business houses, and being admitted to others in a degrading manner. Is it not justifiable to ask why the administration does not attempt to rectify this situation and why the administration outlaws the one student organization which is attempting to break down this discrimination?
Name withheld by request
Editor's note: The writer evidently refers to the Congress on Racial Equality when he speaks of the University "outlawing the one student organization which is attempting to break down this discrimination." C. O. R. E. has not been outlawed by the University, but it has been denied University facilities to hold its meetings, on the ground that it is a national organization. This is a questionable reason in view of the other nationally affiliated organizations on the Hill and would tend to support the writer's inference that the University is against either the aims or methods of C. O. R. E.
However, Negroes eat in the Union cafeteria, the only eating establishment where the University has jurisdiction. The administration cannot tell anyone how to run his private business. If the University wants to discourage discrimination against Negroes in Lawrence, it can do so not through interference with private businesses, but through encouragement to student organizations.
Congratulations on your receiving a Rhodes scholarship. You have equaled in the academic world Ray Evans' feats in athletics.

Another Busy Christmas Santa?
There isn't much doubt that it will be. . Santa always hustles and bustles about at Christmas. Up chimneys, down chimneys, around, and away . . . When it's over his beautiful red suit is a mess, covered with soot from head to toe, but Santa always sends his suits to us. We return them bright and shining clean, ready to go again next year.
