Shed A Cheer
All is not cheerful in the life of cheerleaders.
Like the man in the fable, they try to please everybody and succeed in pleasing nobody. It's time the students knew what their cheer-leaders are up against.
The administration frowns on dismissing classes early for a pep rally. The cheerleaders protest that all they need is 15 to 20 minutes.
There is no place to have a rally. They can't have it at the stadium because it disturbs the practice by interfering with the calling of signals. In front of the administration building the rally would disturb classes.
The cheerleaders have been criticized for not having loudspeakers at the games for directing the cheering. Actually, they have had one at the last two games, but it can be heard only half way up the stadium. And they have no funds to buy a hand-mike such as the Nebraska cheerleaders had.
The student body, of course, has not turned out to be the most cooperative in K. U. history. On several occasions the organized houses have been called not once but twice to have members at a rally to send the team off to an out-of-town game. And very few showed up.
It is more demoralizing for the team to have an unsuccessful rally than no rally at all.
The students are poorly placed to judge the effectiveness of their own yells. The acoustics of the stadium are such that the sound is reflected to the opposite side. Many visitors at Saturday's game commented on the excellence and volume of the cheering.
We have the same number of cheerleaders today as we had several years ago for a much smaller student body. The traditions committee of the All Student Council, however, will not allow the numbers of the cheerleaders to be increased from six to eight.
It's a case of "laugh and the world laughs with you—cheer and you cheer alone."
Letter to Editor
Faust And Football? No!, College Student Writes
To the Daily Kansan: At the home games this semester our K.U. band has failed to function as it should at football games. True, Faust and Beethoven can be fine at a band recital, but must we have that slow, measured tempo with our football?
measure When our band does condescend to play a K.U. school song for a "suitable occurrence" at a game (such as a touchdown) the rendition is respectful and dignified. Why?
We need a pep band and need it badly—a band that can play fast and slow, hot and loud, a band that will fit the spirit of the occasion. A 15-piece pep band of loud, noisy brass would solve the situation.

Marcel Dupre Will Open Series Monday
Marcel Dupre, concert organist,
and his daughter Marguerite Dupre,
pianist, will open the 1946-47 Concert series with a recital in Hoch auditorium at 8 p.m. Monday.
Mr. Dupre's last appearance on the campus was in 1939. He is on leave from several French universities where he teaches organ. In addition, Mr. Dupre is the organist of the St. Subnice church in Paris.
The series will include the Icelandic singers; Isaac Stern, violinist; the Metropolitan Operatic ensemble; Leon Fleisher, pianist; and Gladys Swarthout, soprano.
Bitter Bird Refunds To Late Subscribers
"I haven't the slightest idea how many copies we had printed," Bitter Bird editor, Terry Herriott, said Wednesday, "but we are going to have to refund the money of some of those who subscribed late."
Some persons, after being turned away at the Bitter Bird desk in Frank Strong hall last week, went to organized houses and bought subscriptions from house managers, thus swelling the number of subscriptions well over the number of copies.
There will be no second printing to cover the shortage, Herriott said. Subscriptions for the remaining five issues will be sold until Saturday
