From Chaos to Co-op
The seasonal rumbling of dissatisfaction over the book and school supplies situation seems to have reached the proportions of a typhoon.
Former students shrug their shoulders and mutter, "It's part of the cycle' (Re: Dr. Wheeler) Veteran students, however, seem to be a little more articulate in their expressions of distaste.
Their amazement and disgust at the inadequacy and inefficiency in supplying students with needed equipment is easily heard, and is echoed over the Hill. The directness and earnestness of the veterans' criticisms may indicate that the apathy with which this situation is annually greeted is antiquated; action is in order.
The University's swollen enrollment must have some very important implications. If the students are correct in their assertions, one consequence is the absolute necessity of an improvement in the distribution of academic supplies.
The board of regents, and the University administration, in allowing the enrollment to expand, have placed upon themselves tremendous responsibilities to former and new students. The University is a community, and its officials cannot inflate it with hundreds of new students without safeguarding against scarcities and inadequacies which might result.
They are doing this admirably in their vigorous efforts to combat the housing shortage. They have also recognized their responsibility toward providing students with sufficient supplies at reasonable costs. Indication of this is their recent consent to the establishment of a co-operative book store, tentatively assigned space in the Memorial Union building, the center of the student community.
With permission for the store granted, the responsibility of establishing it lies with the students—probably students who so far have not worked on the project; it will be established at some time in the future when its current supporters are gone.
This month's chaos should convince every student on the Hill that the book store is something worth working for. The confusion should recruit several thousand cohorts for next year's job.—W.N.
How Ya' Gonna' Keep Him Outa' The Groove, After He's Seen Paree
The "hepcats" have a word for what Prof. Laurel Everette Anderson, University organist, has done for 18 years at the close of the annual Christmas Vespers.
He jams!
live-jargon for getting in the groove and improvising as you ___
Professor Anderson enjoys improvising, but admits that at one period of his career it was wiser to be orthodox. That was when he was organist and director of music at the famous American Church of Paris, about 20 years ago.
"They knew what the next note should be, and I didn't dare disappoint them," Professor Anderson smiled.
Organists from all over the world traveled to Paris for advanced training, and many of them attended services at that church.
Professor Anderson almost made a career of bank notes instead of musical notes. After graduation from high school in Racine, Wis., he was well on his way to a financial career in a local bank. But his love for music won, and he entered Oberlin college in Ohio, sacrificing money for music.
He received his master of arts in music degree in 1922, taught at Grinnell college for several years, then traveled to Paris for further study under Joseph Bonnett and Louis Vierne in organ, and Raul Lapprair in composition.
In 1927, he returned to the United States and came to the University as assistant professor of organ. Today he is the head of the department, professor of organ and theory and University organist.
The professor's hobby is cabinet-making, and he has won several awards for original design with his work. If he had the wood, he'd build a cabinet now—if he had the time.
Lifts Anvil With Ears
Nortok, Neb. (UP)—G. A. Taylor,
Winner, S.D., recently showed a blacksmith and welders convention here a neat trick in anvil lifting. The former wrestler uses his cauliflower ears to lift a 155-pound anvil.
He started doing the feat when friends told him it couldn't be done.

Rock Chalk
By SHIRLEY LEITCH and KATHY McBRIDE
Sweet Dreams. Never let it be said that the Phil Gan's are lonely. It is rumored that they average eight boys to a room with eight other Fiijis' worldly possessions also in said space. The joke is all "effects" are kept in only one dresser and one closet. (But then looking on the bright side of things—eight makes for a good game of poker.) The boys claim that they don't mind sleeping in vertical beds but when it comes to finding spikes for storing the rest of the boys for the night they put their feet down. Their motto is—last one home gets the chandelier. To quote Art Hoffman, "and, brother, that ain't easy."
Funny Foundling. Lost, strayed, or stolen. One car from the Alpha Chi house left on the Theta front doorstep. When interviewed the Theta's gave but one statement, "No thanks, thanks a lot, but no thanks."
Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, Yoo Hoo.
The true spirits of K.U. in the forms of Pat and Mike Winsor, Fig Newton, and Bob Mallonee, Sigma Chi's haunted the Missouri campus after the K.U.-M.U. game Friday night. The famous Rock Chalk yell echoed throughout Columbia between each Sigma Shy (???) serenade. All they needed was Bob Beeler's dog to hold down the baritone.
Double Trouble. This weekend at a colorful spot in Kansas City a bunch of Phi Psi's were watching one toe dancer cut a mean caper when Jack Gosnell piped up with the innocent statement, "I don't see how both of those girls can keep together so well."
Peanuts, Popecorn, Crackerjokes.
Wanted. Pertinent Poop for part time position peddling popecorn in Professor Crafton's Motion Picture class. Well (???)
Sad Situation. One of the more successful projects of the Jay Janes' date bureau turned out to be a Mutt and Jeff act. The gentleman must not have been sanforized because when he picked up his 6-foot date he had shrunk from the reported 6 feet 4 inches to a mere 5 feet 6, heels and all.
Picking on Peck. Saturday morning, cheerleaders were stowing things back into Mrs. Charlie Black's car in front of their Columbia hotel when they heard a terrified soprano voice crying "No, no boys. Don't do it—you wouldn't do it! Not to me!"
The damsel in distress was Owen Peck. The team was loading on its special bus across the street and Ray Evans and Otto Schnellbacher, having lifted Owen lightly to their shoulders, were in the act of putting him off the bus. They had been ribbing him for days about going to the vice-versa dance with Pi Phi cheerleader, Joan Woodward. This was the pay-off. They decided he should ride home with her.
Drumming up business? Phi Delt Harry McClure, famous for his traps, hasn't gotten over the strange girl who passed him on the campus the other day and said coyly, "Hello, drummer-boy."
The Voice Squeaks. Back safely in Lawrence the famous Sigma Chi became Pep King. After gazing at the nylons he was awarded, Owen said, "Hmmm, $1.55—Do I hear $2?"
On the bottom step of the bus the muscle men slipped, piling up in a puddle of rain water. But the joke was "止 on" Owen.
