Pay No More
How many ice cream bars did you buy at the football game Saturday? And how much did you pay for them? If you treated your friends, you made legal sales more difficult; if you paid an exorbitant price, the black market was your fault.
The Y.M.C.A., which sponsors the food concessions, hires about 100 responsible students to serve the crowd. And the spectator's motive for quantity buying is to save everyone the discomfort of having a dozen persons struggle through tightly-packed bleachers. So it really is no one's fault if someone buys 20 servings for resale at whatever profit he can get from a careless crowd.
This situation may or may not arise during the football season. If it does, busy cashiers and vendors can't see that every person in 23,000 doesn't pay too much for a hot dog. You'll have to watch out for your own coin purse.—A.B.
Service!
We were seated in the Union fountain the other day.
That in itself was a feat, but we weren't satisfied. We were thirsty.
At first, naively, we held up our hand for service. Nothing happened.
Then we began making pleading little speeches to the waitress as she passed. She smiled, vaguely.
One of our number collapsed on the floor as the waitress was coming along the aisle, and he began babbling pitifully, "Water! Water!" She stepped over him and sped on her merry way.
We hoisted a red bandanna over our booth. When that got no results, we hoisted a white handkerchief. *
In desperation we set a bear trap in the middle of the aisle. We caught a bear that had been waiting there since last Christmas.
We went up to the main floor and got a drink of water.
That women have an instinct which makes them want to appear "just a little different" is evident this fall. Most of the girls seem to have packed away the blue jeans and slacks.
Many students wished for wire clippers Saturday as they filed one by one through the small gates in the fence that surrounds the stadium.
Sun glasses were much in evidence Saturday, at the game, and those who hadn't brought any wished they had.
Letters to the Editor
Election Date Railroadded,
Independent Writes
To the Daily Kansan: At the A.S.C. meeting Tuesday the minority party (the independents) were taken for a royal ride. Without first consulting his committee, the chairman of the elections committee moved that the freshman election be held on Oct. 22. The motion was passed.
The main reason given for this action was that freshman council members would have more time to gain experience if they were elected early. This reasoning looks good, but it isn't. The election will be held on a council meeting day, and, therefore, frehmant council members will not be able to attend a meeting until Nov. 5 when the A.S.C. is scheduled to meet again. This period of waiting and doing nothing will undoubtedly do a great deal toward orienting the freshman members.
If the election is held on Oct. 22, Independent freshmen will have little or no chance to meet or even hear about the persons running for the various class offices and council positions. The Greek machine, however, will work at no disadvantage, since their freshmen will vote for the name they are told to vote for without knowing anything about the person.

OPA Removes Control On Train Food, Meat Goes Up
Washington. (UP)—Food sold on railroad dining cars and club cars will be removed from price control on Friday.
Price control will remain on sand-wiches, milk, and other food and drink sold by train peddlers and railroad station news stands. Prices may be increased 15 per cent on items in which meat is a major ingredient.
OPA made this announcement today following a previous statement that meat items sold in restaurants will go up 15 per cent today.
K-Book Distribution Unfair College Freshman Protests
To the Daily Kansan: Why do some unlucky souls have to pay 25 cents for a K-book, and others, more fortunate, receive one free?
At the new student convocation K-books were handed out to many of the freshmen, but the supply was limited and many students were not able to obtain a free one that night, as the supply ran out.
We, who were so unfortunate as not to get a K-book at this meeting, mus now pay 25 cents for one at the business office. Two-bits is not much, but the principle of the thing s a lot.
