Pipe Smoking, Coffee Drinking English Prof Is KU's Poet
A dual role of writer and teacher, is the part played by Robert Stallman, assistant professor of English.
"I hope to contest the theory that teachers can't write," he said.
At the moment, Professor Stallman and Prof. Ray B. West, also of the English department, are completing a book to be published by Rinehart in early 1948. It is entitled "The Art of Modern Fiction."
"Both a text and a trade book, it is suitable for class room and professional work," Professor Stallman stated.
Works Are Widely Published
"It's hard to find time to write between classes and grading papers,' he commented, "but I average three or four pages a day. Written With John Hand
Professor Stallman has had poems published in the Quarterly Review of Literature and Furioso; reviews in Modern Philology and Poetry; bibliographies in the University of Kaunas City Review and Accent; essays in the University of Toronto Quarterly, The Swanee Review, and an essay in the recent anthology, "A Southern Vanuqua."
Professor Stallman is beginning his second year on the University faculty.
"I usually write with a pipe in one hand, and a cup of coffee at my side," he said.
Writes With Pipe In Hand
As to the teaching phase, Professor Stallman said that a revolutionary technique is arising in colleges and universities all over the country.
"The shift to critical analysis of literature, rather than the old-fashioned memorization of content is occurring in the University English department at this very moment.
"This shift has been the keynote of most of my writings," he added.
KU Convertibles May Make 'Time'
Convertibles at the University are really going places.
The recent Kansas City Star news story describing long sleek automobiles wheeling around the K.U. camp has been submitted to Thinc magazine.
Paul Brownlee, College junior from Sabetha, who is the University correspondent for the Star, wrote the story, using the Kansas bumper wheat crop angle. The story gives us a glimpse of the rash of new convertibles and other shiny cars at the University this year.
A history major, Brownlee intends to enter the School of Law after graduating from the College. Before going into the service, he was a student in the department of journalism at Omega social fraternity, and of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity.
John Cauley, telegraph editor of the Kansas City Star, and Time and Life correspondent for this area, sent Brownlee's story to Time. The magazine has asked for pictures to illustrate the article. These pictures, Brownlee said, were taken by Duke D'Ambra, a local photographer.
Radio Players To Get Chance
Tryouts for KFKU radio players will be held at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, at the station's studios in the Electrical Engineering laboratory, Miss Mildred Seaman, program director, said today.
Miss Seaman also announced that Gene Courtney, College senior, has been chosen as dramatic script writer for the University station.
Students who are capable of doing one or more dialects will rate highest at the tryouts. Since it is for dramatic radio production, a bell-like voice is not always necessary. Miss Seaman said.
Courtney, former assistant director and drama coach in Los Angeles Little Theater activities, enrolled at the University to study radio production. A graduate of Wesport High school in Kansas City, Mo., Courtney has attended William Jewell college and Park college as a civilian, and Princeton and Northwestern universities while in the navy.
Does Research On Heart, Blood
Modern scientific methods have made it possible to set up an electrical circuit whose behavior is similar in many respects to the human circulatory system, Kenneth Jochim, physiology professor, reported.
Prof. Jochim has been doing research work on the heart and circulatory system for 16 years. For the past two years, his research has been financed by a grant from the United States and published on his experiments have been printed, and given before the American Physiology society.
Because of this, analytical methods previously used successfully in electrical problems can be applied to the heart and blood vessels.
YWCA Plans Group On Campus Affairs
A commission on campus affairs has been set up by the Y.W.C.A. as one of the regular commission groups meeting each Wednesday at 4 p.m., Betty van der Smissen, chairman of campus affairs, said today.
Tomorrow's meeting will be held in the Pine room of the Union and will be open to all women students, Miss van der Smiss added. The first four meetings will study the college majors, the CS and the A-SC, amendment to be voted upon in the all-University election the first week of November.

'High College Fees Are Undemocratic'
Washington—(UP) — The higher cost of higher learning is keeping many intellectually-able young persons, out of college, the U. S. office of education reported today.
It said that in the past seven years tuition fees have risen 29.3 per cent in arts and science colleges 32.8 and 56.1 per cent in dental schools.
"More and more, this trend will limit college education to children of higher-income families—a counter democratic tendency," it said.
Touchdown Or Fumble,Fans Didn't Seem To Give A Hang
The ball was in Kansas' possession.
The Jayhawker offensive had gone into high gear. Tom Scott had just reeled off a long run and the Crimson and Blue squad was in front of the goal posts.
Four pairs of hands went up simultaneously. A faint sibilant sound rocked the stadium.
Cheerleaders deployed along the 50 yard-line, one with megaphone poised. $ \textcircled{4} $
"Whistle, Boom," he whispered in to the thing.
Someone said "Boom."
Forrest Griffith took a handoff and slumped into the end zone.
Fans sent up a spontaneous roar. For a few brief moments the Kansas players actually knew they weren't playing in an empty stadium.
The spectators lapsed into their pre-touchdown lethargy. Cheerleaders made several more futile attempts to draw the crowd out.
One fan offered an explanation for the time that cheerleaders were actually booed into submission when they started to yell. It seems that the bases were loaded in the last of the seventh in that crucial World Series game, and the fans' divided interest was settling whole-heartedly on the scattered portable radios in the stands.
Cheerleaders deployed again, plainly discouraged with the fans' response, and begged the reticent mass of humanity above them to open their hearts and at least give the Kansas guard a hand.
**and** silence, oppressing silence. Some fans who wanted to yell re-commend the team, and matter to the fans whether we have a winning football team or not—if cheering keeps on like this, why should the team give a hang?
Don Fambrough, playing a sterling
honor when he was injured and helped
off the field.
Result: silence, oppressing silence.
Another fan resurrected the complaint from the vast season that every time the public address system was coming through with other scores, the cheerleaders gleefully ponured on that time for a vell!
Our reporter adds that the Wildcat cheering section made more noise when a New Mexico plunge was stopped for no gain than the Kansas stands give out when a Jayhawker touchdown was scored.
Meanwhile, a Kansas reporter who watched the Kansas State Wildcats pull through to their 19th consecutive defeat, reports the gratifying sight of full and extremely noisy stands.
The Cats scored three times, and still managed to lose, but the sup-pass team was tremendous compared to the vocal backing of the Jayhawks got.
