Aerial Buzzing Should Be Stopped
The all-too-frequent plane buzzing of the campus has gone about as far as it should. Something should be done to make those buzz-happy fly-boys understand that their antics are not appreciated.
In the first place, such buzzing as occurred Thursday is against C. A.A. rules. Furthermore, it is a definite danger to populated areas and might well result in a serious accident. And lastly, it is highly disturbing to classes. Few instructors can shout over the droning noise of a diving plane, nor should it be necessary for them to try.
Three persons were killed and seven injured Sunday at Burlington, Iowa, when a plane which was sweeping low over the town crashed into the midst of a sandlot baseball game. Such things do not always happen somewhere else. They can happen here.
If such stunting is an essential part of flight training, it should be done elsewhere than over cities and universities.
Mixers Are For All
The University should make it known that we have had our fill of these aerial antics. Whenever they occur, the University should make a definite effort to identify the planes and register a protest with those in charge. If definite identification cannot be established, protests should be sent to every airport and air base in this area, giving what particulars are known and expressing the University's objection.
For several weeks the ISA has endeavored to give K. U. students a mid-week break with informal dances. So far, these mixers have met with only mediocre response.
The mixer held last week at Potter lake was attended by approximately 100 men and 25 women. This points up one of the reasons why the mixers have not exactly gone over with a bang. University women are not attending.
The committee in charge points
out that the dances are strictly informal and University women should feel free to attend with or without escorts.
There also seems to be some misunderstanding about who the dances are held for. They are all-University functions for the enjoyment of all students. The fact that the ISA is in charge does not limit attendance to members of that organization. The ISA has merely seen the need for more all-University social functions and has taken on the job of sponsoring these mid-week dances.
A small charge of 15 cents a person is charged to help defray expenses. ISA members are admitted free of charge.
University students have been passing up a "good deal" in not attending these mixers. The price is negligible and the entertainment is just right for that recreational break we all need in the middle of the week.
The final all-University mixer will be held tomorrow evening from 7:30 to 9 o'clock at the dancing slab near Potter lake.
