No Matter What They Say- Life's Life Sure Isn't KU's Life
By LEONARD SNYDER
Life? Poof, too bad it's not . . .
Seven students were asked if campus living is really "like a Hollywood dream of luxury" and they looked at this reporter. Imagine that. They just looked.
Well, we were only trying to get their impression of the picture-feature
Well, we were only trying to gnaw in a recent issue of Life magazine depicting K. U., as a gold mine. One after one, the one that ridiculed the grossly ingested "aggrated" article which inflicted that moola, moola, and more moala was floating around the campue because of the "new gold rush in the wheat fields."
Donald L. Gettyts, College sophomore, said "there are undoubtedly a lot of people here with money but the campus isn't any playground. Life just picked out a specific instance to show their point; they haven't looked into the overall situation at all."
"Everything is about the same in proportion to what we had before the war," according to Tillman Peters, education junior. "Why even the A. S. C. has ruled that there should be no corsages at campus parties, so we can save money. A lot of fellows here—the majority are trying to get by as cheaply as possible; they're not flushed with money."
like myself.
"I wouldn't call it a Hollywood dream of luxury, but, if I had a farm I'd probably have a car too," reasons Earl Washington, College sophomore.
Gailard Abart, engineering junior, said, "it's a long way from being a country club here; most students have a hard enough time getting by, like myself."
Frank Martin, College sophomore, said, "they've presented a one-sided picture all right. There might be a few people like Richardson (in Life's article) who made money, but most of the fellows are veterans getting by on $65 and $90 a month. I have to work myself."
have to work my home, Bernard L. Tornival, College sophomore, sums up the situation. "This isn't the playground for married veterans. If there is a good wheat year it shows up, but for every student who has a car, there are 150 who haven't."

Crops Under Monopoly?
Washington—(UP) The government today asked congress for emergency power to buy up entire farm crops when bad crops threaten the domestic economy or the export program.
The request was made by Carl C. Farrington, assistant administrator of the agriculture department's production and marketing administration, to the joint senate-house economic committee. He said that even this broad authority may not be enough to curb inflation and insure foreign aid and repeated President Truman's request for authority to impose raftoning and price ceilings.
"In the event of an emergency situation such as might be brought about by an extremely short wheat crop, for example, the powers should be such as to make it possible for the government to become the sole buyer of the crop in a manner similar to that which was used during the war with respect to soybeans, peanuts and wool," Farrington said.
Farrington also said that to "insure the maximum saving of grain and at the same time combat inflation, authority for rationing and price ceilings should be provided."
Taking advantage of the five-day vacation, five students underwent minor surgery during the Thanksgiving holiday at Watkins hospital.
Richard Teaford, engineering freshman; Timothy Duckworth, College sophomore; and Harold Moore, engineering senior, were operated on Wednesday. Charles Gudger, business senior, was admitted for surgery Tuesday and Kenneth Pine, business junior, underwent surgery Friday.
Eight Eat Turkey In KU Hospital
The clepsydra is an instrument to measure time by the trickling or escape of water.
Other patients at the hospital over the holiday were Orvena Busey, Arthur Heilan, and Robert Sigler.
A regular Thanksgiving dinner of turkey and pumpkin pie was provided for all the patients, if they felt like eating it, that is.
