'We Ate Up The Food, Transportation, Laundry, Cigarettes, In Fact—
'We Ate Up The Budget Again,' Said The Veteran
BY PHYLLIAS HODGKINS
(Daily Kansan Staff Writer)
"Well," said the veteran, "we did it again!"
"The budget?" we echoed.
"Did what?" we inquired sweetly.
"We ate up the budget."
The veteran looked annoyed, "Certainly, the budget."
"How did it taste?" we asked cautiously.
The veteran looked more annoyed. "Don't be silly," he said, "I'm talking about my $90 a month. We ate
it all up again." "Oh." we said.
"Look," he began patiently, "it's like this. Every month we budget so much for food, so much for rent, for transportation, for entertainment, for laundry and cigarettes."
"Hah," he glared at us. "By the end of the month we've eaten up the food, we've eaten up the transportation, the laundry, we've eaten up everything."
"That sounds nice," we volunteered.
"That's not so good. Then what do
"What the rest of the boys do. Hit dad for the cash, dip into the savings account, or drop some hours and start to work."
you do?"
"But that moves your graduation back."
"Intelligent remark" he agreed sadly, "Let's see, maybe I could on a diet or see, maybe I can put up a tent on the campus."
"But you live at Sunflower," we protested, "The rent isn't high there."
"It's not," he said, "But when you add transportation costs, there's not
much difference between two rooms in town and two rooms out there."
"What about the single boys," we ventured, "Can't they make it or $65 a month."
The veteran scratched his head.
He veteren's straight out. "Maybe they can get enough to eat on $1.50 a day but I doubt it. Say two dollars a day. That's $60 a month for food, leaving five dollars for rent, clothes and females."
"Females, we echoed." "Dates, done?" said the veteran.
Pennies, we worked.
"Dates, dope," said the veteran.
"And what's more, some of the boys haven't gotten their checks yet."
"How are they eating? The veteran shrugged.
He sighed thoughtfully.
"Mustering out pay, maybe, or loans. I know one fellow and his wifew ho are still living on cash wedding presents."
"Maybe I should learn card tricks."
He picked up his books and gave us one last reproachful stare.
"Where are you going?" we asked timidly.
"Frank Strong long this," he said, "is a problem for John Ise. Maybe he knows how to budget."
Pilot Strike Ends In Arbitration
Washington, (UP)—The 25-day-old strike of Transcontinental & Western air pilots, the first major fliers' walkout in the history of U. S. commercial aviation, came to an end early today when both sides agreed to arbitrate their wage dispute.
Chairmen Frank P. Douglass of the national mediation board announced the agreement at 4:15 a.m., after an all night conference with President David L. Behncke of the Air Line Pilots association, (AFL) and TWA President Jack Frye.
The pilots agreed to return to work and submit remaining differences to a three-man orbitation board which will begin hearings in Chicago between Dec. 19 and 23. The board will rule on pay and work rules for pilots and co-pilots operating four-engine domes at the national airport.
Mr. Frye said TWA hoped "to reach a full schedule of operations within a few days." He said the first schedules would start about 7 a.m. tomorrow on flights originating on both coasts.

Kansas Seeks To Keep Victory Streak Move Closer To Big Six Top Standing
Confident that the Wildcats can't upset them, but nevertheless wary of Kansas State's potentialities, the Jayhawkers meet their cross-state foe tomorrow in what may be the best game of the Big Six season.
Kansas roots will con-
Aggies' Homecoming celebration
which will reach its climax on the
gridiron at 2 p.m. tomorrow.
By bus and private automobile the Kansas team, the Kansas band and 2,400 Kansas rooters will converge upon Manhattan to take part in the
While the Jayhawkers will be aiming for another victory in their drive toward the top of the conference, the Wildcats can erase the memory of six consecutive defeats by downing the high-flying Kansas eleven.
Coach George Sauer has his charges primed for this one—even more than they were for the Oklahoma game.
"The Wildeats will be plenty tough," he said. "They display a fanatical spirit to win every time they meet Kansas, and that's what we have to watch."
The Jayhawkers will be at top physical condition with the exception of Bud French, speedy left half, Bill Hogan, iniured quarterback, and Forrest Griffith, Dick Bertizzi's replacement at right half.
In the Aggie camp Hobbs Adams, head coach, is all smiles over the return of his ace backfield man, Norman Rothrock, who has been out since the beginning of the season.
According to the Wildcat coach the Aggies have worked harder this week than at any other time during the season. He says "they act as if their lives depended on it."
This is the setup which will attract 20,000 fans to the Kansas State campus. At no time has the desire to win been so strong on both sides of the fence.
Kansas will rate a slight point favorite but comparison of past games between the two elevens practically wines all odds off the board.
In 1937 Kansas was headed for a share of the Big Six title and had won two conference games and tied one. When Kansas State left Lawrence it had a 7 to 0 win under its belt.
The Jayhawkers came back the next year and downed the Wildcats in a game which was supposed to be a breather for the Angies.
Kansas State had won over powerful Indiana, and KU. had lost to three Big Six teams. With Lyman Divens, Max Replogle and Dick Amerine running wild behind a charging line the Jayhawkers walked away with a 27 to 7 victory.
In 1944 the Wildcats won their last Big Six game up to the present time, and it was against the Jayhawkers. It was in this contest that K.U.'s Charlie Moffet raced 82 yards on the last play of the game only to have a clipping penalty nullify the gain.

Snow Tomorrow, Forecaster Predicts
Kansas City. (UP)—A fall blizzard, described by government forecasters as "the real McCoy," swept toward the Middle West from the semi-Artic regions of northwest Canada today.
J. R. Lloyd, government meterologist here, said rain falling over much of Kansas would change to snow by tomorrow night, with temperatures plunging to 10 to 15 degrees in northwest Kansas.
Mr. Lloyd predicted a cold wave for all of Kansas. He said it would bring snow to those areas, but that it was "sill too early" to speculate on the amount of precipitation.
In Kansas, eastern and southern sections were expected to record low readings of 20 to 25 degrees.
