As The Kansan Sees It
Some Like It Hot
Some like it hot and some like it cold—music that is. But even the most dyed-in-the-wool "long-hair" or "jive-hound" can afford to listen to music of another temperature than he ordinarily takes.
That the program is probably topcaliber is indicated by the fact that both Kansas State college and the University of Missouri have included it as a part of their concert courses.
The Student Union Activities committee will bring the Norman Granz "Jazz at the Philharmonic" program here this month. Somewhat different from the usual musical fare brought to the University, it should be interesting both to those who like it and to others who will attend just to see what's going on.
The Student Union activities committee is to be complimented for bringing the "other side" of the musical picture to the University.
Peter the Great of Russia had the right idea on long skirts. He didn't want them that way and he had a sure-fire way of fixing them his way.
Peter Had The Idea
It all came about because Peter took an extended tour of Europe, and found out that his native country wasn't as up-and-coming as he had thought. In fact, the rest of Europe seemed so bustling and modern that it made his good Chamber of Commerce soul ashamed.
Getting out his little notebook, he started writing down all the big things that made the rest of Europe classy. He wrote down about shipbuilding and shaven faces, warm water ports and short cloaks, and all the rest.
When he got back to Russia, Peter used his power as emperor to start reforming on a scale unsurpassed by even the best American trust-busting attorney. And one thing he got rid of was those pesky long skirts the men peasants wore.
His method? He had the peasants kneel with their skirts spread out around them; then the skirts were cut where they touched the ground.
The annual nightshirt parade failed to create the usual excitement. Too many of those appropriately attired were merely mistaken for women following the new skirt style.

Dear Editor
Game Concessions
Dear Editor,
Concerning your Public Postcard last Thursday bemoaning the slow service at football games, let me say this:
Believe me, there is nothing I wouldn't do to correct the situation of which you speak. It is our biggest problem in a task noted for its problems. It is a source of both extreme embarrassment and an unmeasured amount of lost sales. Worst of all, it is an imposition of the most frustrating kind to the students, who should above all be served adequately.
Here is the situation we are up against: The east side of the stadium, where the students sit and must obtain their service, is, as you know, also the site of the McCook hall dormitory. That side of the stadium is used for storage of housing supplies and is the location of the indoor track. The result is that there is room for only the one concession stand on the east side. The west side has three.
The one east side stand must serve more people than the three on the other side, and a fourth stand behind the end zone. At the Iowa

We will do anything we can, and if the Daily Kansan or any reader has any suggestions for solution of our dilemma I would be more than pleased to hear them. One change we have made will help some. We are now using three regular cashiers selling tickets at all times with a fourth on duty during the rush period. This is an increase over the two we had at the Iowa State game. We'll try to give the stand on the students' side more help if it can be obtained.

We wish we could do more, but the space just isn't there. All else I can do is ask patience of those ever-patient, long-suffering, tireless line-waiters who really deserve a better break—the students.
