Where It Goes
Remember the $9.79 you socked out for your activity ticket? Here's where it goes.
Athletics $4.50
Kansan 1.00
Councils .40
Concerts .44
Drama .29
Lectures .21
Debate .11
Glee Clubs .08
Band .22
Unallotted 1.05
Reserve .20
Intramurals --
Total 8.50
Plus Tax:
Federal 1.17
State .12
Total $9.79
Almost all of the unallotted money is assigned to the intramural program. This department receives 50 cents from the summer session activity ticket, but none from either the fall or spring tickets. This money is being spent for physical facilities and operating expenses for the department. It will be used for such projects as the proposed tennis courts.
The reserve fund is handled by a student-faculty commission, headed by Raymond Nichols, University executive secretary. Its first use is paying for the cost of the activity books themselves. The remainder is available for allocation by the committee. Examples of its use last year were $125 to Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, to start its lost-and-found department. The Associated Women Students was given $500 to publish its handbook, "K.U. Cues."
This, then, is where your activity ticket money goes. There's no better bargain at the price.
Rent in the Curtain?
Interesting news from under the Iron Curtain has come via a United States army report. This source says a large Ukrainian independence army is causing the Russians a lot of trouble in southern Poland and the Ukraine itself.
The Bolshevik regime has had trouble with the Ukraine since the revolution itself. The Ukrainians, like most agricultural people, tend to be conservative and more often than not sided with the White Russian side rather than with the Reds during the period of revolution and counter-revolution of 1918-20.
Again, when the Bolsheviks gathered the small farms into large collective farms as the first phase of Communist life, the Ukrainians balked. To lick the kulaks, or rich farmers, in this little tussle, the Red government had to resort to such measures as starving whole areas by keeping food from going in.
The Ukraine took the brunt of the German invasion. The drive through Kursk and Kharkov for the Ukrainian wheat and industry, and Caucasus oil devastated the territory. Country passed over by war tends to breed unrest and resistance to authority as Europe and China show only too well. Recent history shows that the Ukraine might logically, then, be a hotbed for revolution.
Just what good the Ukrainian resistance can do is hard to evaluate. But to those who fear Russia because of her discouraging solidarity as a nation this rent in the curtain gives cause for hope.

Hardly Qualified
Korea is admittedly one of the hottest spots America has to contend with at the present time. Yet the recent appointment of Major General William F. Dean as military governor of Korea makes one wonder about the foreign policy of this country and its implementation.
In an interview with the press, Major General Dean confessed that he had had only a passing interest in Korea. Yet such a man is being sent into an international "pressure" area. As military governor it will be his duty day-by-day to carry out the state department's avowed policy of containing Communism.
His only three possible qualifications seem to be these. He is a friend of Lieutenant General John R. Hodge, commander of American occupation troops in Korea, having served with him before the war.
His second qualification might be that he served as commander of the 44th Infantry Division during the war. His only possible third is his latest position, that of assistant commandant of the army's Command and Staff college at Ft. Leavenworth.
The latter two seem hardly related at all. They have little to do with the difficult job of dealing with a Russian occupation force determined to stay where it is. They will help little more in dealing with the Korean political situation with its more than 200 parties.
The high "brass" of the armed forces has moved into a number of high governmental posts. Can a continuation of this trend be justified when the army sends an officer who seemingly is poorly qualified to one of its most important political and military posts?
Phone Call Puts Dog On Run For Home
South Bend, Ind.—(UP)—Doc, a small black mongrel dog, could not become accustomed to his new neighborhood. Each day he would be found in the part of town where his owners used to live.
Doc was back in his old neighborhood when he was seen by Mrs. William E. Butters, She called the dog into her home and telephoned Doc's owner. Mrs. Vern Burbridge
Doc jumped a foot in the air, dashed through a screen door and hasn't been seen in his old neighborhood since.
Mrs. Butters put the telephone to the dog's ear and Doe heard his mistress say.
Norman, Okla.—(UP)—The legislature's failure to provide "adequate" funds for the University of Oklahoma medical school was cited today as the principal reason for the resignation of Dr. Jacques P. Gray as its Dean.
"You start for home right away, you bad dog."
O U Medical Dean Resigs;
Blames Inadequate Funds
The University president said Gray had been dissatisfied with funds allocated to the medical school and felt he could not do a good job under existing conditions.
Gray told faculty members at Oklahoma City that he should have quit last November "soon after I got here and realized just what the situation was."

THOSE LONG SKIRTS
Dear Editor,
I am far from being a fashion expert. What's more, I'll probably never be any closer to this interesting occupation than designing a new dress for some future plane.
But as a man, please don't break my illusion. I have some ideas as to what women's apparel appeals to the Average American Male. Since there are three women in my immediate family—mother and two sisters—it's not hard to form an opinion as to what the opposite sex also regards with detestation.
Oh, why must we suffer these rejuvenated French styles? Is the reason for these long skirts part of a passionate striving of the American Woman to capture a romantic French Legionnaire? Or are they just imitating that monument to American independence, the Statue of Liberty?
Must we go back to the Far East where they have a respite from this crude form of torture in the summertime when it is warm enough to expose the lower extremities and the weeds are high enough to hide the bow legs?
Need we go back a few years in time for our styles? Our correspondent at Haskell tells me his squaw is looking for a brightly colored blanket so she may be in style.
Of all the persons I have talked with, only one man wants women to wear longer skirts. He figures after their marriage he can make a double-breasted two-pants suit out of each skirt.
I really must quit this missile as we fellows are going to drown our sorrows in that bottle of distilled H2O I swined from the lab.
Here's hoping,
Harry Robert Haury, jr.

We wonder whether the classes which were held outside at Kansas State College were held there because of crowded conditions or because it was a bit hot inside.
