No, Thanks
Please, Mr. Quigley, let's don't go to a bowl game New Year's Day. We've just won a Big Six football title for the first time since 1930. We probably can take the Big Six basketball title. It looks as if we'll win the tennis and track titles, and maybe even squeeze through in baseball and golf.
Several of the starters on the grid-iron are iron men on a basketball court. They'd have to make up their minds whether to play football or basketball. Coach Sauer has a good job New Year's Day. Most of the students wouldn't be able to see the game, and we probably wouldn't make much money on the deal.
We'd like to see Kansas have a whole bunch of titles this year, Mr. Quigley. We'd also like to go to a bowl game, but it wouldn't be worth it.
So, what do you say, Mr. Quigley?
Let's just tell the bowl boys thanks a lot but no thanks?
Interpreters
The trouble with the United Nations is that there isn't anyone around to tell people what the diplomats meant to say.
Plenty of interpreters are around to tell people what words the diplomats are using, but no one seems to be able to tone down ultimatums to policy-statements or demands to requests.
quests.
Today the big nations continually find themselves out on limbs because somebody talks too loudly and too many people hear him. After making a bold ultimatum and having it broadcast to the four winds, no nation likes to back down. And so compromises are made more difficult.
There was a guy named Manoux at the 1919 Paris peace conference who knew the trick. He'd listen to one of the Big Four say something nasty about another, then he'd turn and translate the speech minus all the harshness.
Nobody's feelings got hurt, and because no one talked a chip onto his shoulder, compromises were easy. Everything about the conference wasn't good, but we'd like to see Mr. Mantoux's part duplicated in the UN conference rooms.
Jaytalking---
The victory dance for the football team was a great success. It would have been a greater success had the guests of honor been present.
U. S. diplomats charge Russia's primary objective in dasarmament talk is to get rid of the atomic bomb. Well, can you blame her?
The snow on which a Buffalo, N.Y., veteran ploas as he pickets his wife to return to him changes the saying to "cold feet, warm heart."
We sympathize with Missouri farmers who have to read sales tickets to find out how much was bid for their tobacco. Auctioneers, though, rate only slightly less understandable than railroad station announcers and our 2 o'clock professor.
The Jayhawkers were "opportunists" to the end. Leading M.U. by one point, they simply held the ball for eight minutes. Most opportune!

Rules For Writers
The Daily Kansan welcomes letters from students on any subject fit for publication in a student newspaper. There are two points to keep in mind:
ONE: Sign your name. We can't print a letter unless we know who's writing. We'll withhold the name if you request it, but we'd rather you'd be brave.
TWO. Keep it short. News space is hard to get and we must reserve the right to edit or shorten letters. The best letter we've seen so far is one commenting on the Jaytalking column on this page:
"Jaytalking is fowl stuff."
Who'll Volunteer?
As one who recently came much too close to being hit by a car in the traffic fasco at the intersection of Jayhawk drive and Mississippi street, I would like to protest the continued absence of the campus traffic officer from this post.
The officer was hired last spring, presumably to insure a good safety record in spite of the enlarged enrollment. He was equipped with a motorcycle which can bring him from any point on the campus to the trouble spot in a matter of seconds. And yet traffic has been stalled while he was writing out a ticket for some person who happens to be a few inches over the parking line.
As long as he is to be on the campus during school hours, the best spot for him at 50 minutes past the hour is at the intersection, not practicing penmanship.
As soon as one student is seriously injured in an accident there, the University will drag him to the intersection immediately. Does someone have to volunteer a broken leg to get some action?
Football Used For Bait
College Senior
Providence R.I. (UP)—When more girls than boys showed up for a dance at a teen-age canteen, the Parent-Teachers association solved the problem the next week by offering a football as a door prize.
Sun May Rob Milk Of Flavor, Vitamins
Washington. (UF)Don't be surprised some day if your family milk supply is delivered in colored bottles. The milkman merely will be trying to thwart the sun.
The agriculture department has found that the sun, normally a source of vitamins, may rob milk which is left on the doorstep too long of some of its flavor and nutritional values.
Vitamins affected by sunlight include riboflavin and ascorbic acid. The loss of riboflavin is particularly unfortunate, the department said, because milk is one of the few everyday foods rich in this vitamin.
The department said studies show that homogenized milk exposed to sunlight for as little as a half hour may change in flavor. Other milk may take as long as an hour.
Some companies already have considered putting out milk in dark bottles to prevent the loss of vitamins. Consumer preference for clear bottles has blocked this move, however.
It added that if milk cannot be brought in promptly, a box or some other covering where it will be dark should be provided.

Vincentnes, Ind. (UP)—Pete Stewart was treated in Good Samaritan hospital for a self-inflicted scalp wound. He said he borrowed a boy and arrow from his son and shot a shaft skyward which struck him on his niggin coming down.

Is It Coming Down?
Professors Comment On Finals
—Daniel Bishop in St. Louis Star-Times
Agree To Two-Hour Examination Plan
"You don't have to eat a barrel of apples to find out what they taste like," says Prof. George Kreye, of the German department.
That's his way of saying that the new plan of giving only two-hour final exams is all right with him. He figures he can find out all he needs to know about the student in two hours. "I don't believe it
His department, he added, has been giving two-hour exams for several semesters, so the recent action of the University Senate comes as no surprise to him.
(In their last meeting, the University Senate voted to limit final exams in all departments to two hours. Their reason—there are just too many students to take longer tests.)
While some professors feel they can get all they need to know about students in two hours, others approve of the shortening of exams only because they think one hour won't matter either way.
The latter point of view was submitted by Prof. Jacob Kleinberg, department of chemistry, who said:
"I don't believe that an adequate examination could be given in less than one day, so one hour shouldn't make much difference."
Professor Domenico Gagliario, department of economics, said:
"Ive given enough examinations during the semester on which to base grades. It should be simple to arrange courses so that a two-hour final will be sufficient."
Another plan—to give final examinations in sections—has been suggested by some faculty members.
"I plan to use my last class period for part of the final." Prof. W. E. Sandelius, department of political science, explained. "I'm also in favor of giving the students a rest between the end of classes and the beginning of the final examination period.
