Bargaining
With reconversion on its way, as we keep hoping it is, the average American can begin to sharpen up on browsing for bargains. The old shrewdness and insight in purchasing might have become a bit dull during wartime rationing days when, the most one could hope for was to get anything at all, regardless of "bargain" status.
The housewife, never a prey to cunning grocers or display artists, again will refuse to take a box of soap chips at 25 cents when she can buy two boxes of a cheaper grade plus a free dishcloth for 50 cents.
The executive will find himself behind an unnecessarily expensive desk which he'll buy because the lamp will come with it if he pays cash. With his non-standard make typewriter he'll get two months' supply of paper; the half-empty book cases in the office will come outfitted with three new books in each; and all the way around he'll get more for his money—at least he'll get more.
Daughter, Josephine, an English major who dotes on Walt Whitman, will write home, "You'll have to increase my allowance. You see the book dividend—that means it's free—was Whitman's poems, so I just had to become a member. Of course, I'll have to buy two books, and then I get another free one, and so on. What if I do get a few books on headhunting and stuff—think of all the free ones."
Yes, the typical American family will be back at knowing bargains when they see them—and who's superhuman enough to pass up a bargain.
And small Junior is a sharp one too. If the 10-cent cement is thrown in free, he'll glady pay 20 cents more for the model airplane set.
They're New Here
Discharge buttons are getting about as uncommon on the campus as loud shirts and saddle shoes. Many of them are worn by students who've been here before—who have their own friends and gang. But many of the wearers have never been on the campus before. They heard about K.U. from a buddy in boot camp or Italy. They're here because they thought K.U. would be a good place to go to school.
We should realize that every veteran who enrolls at K.U. is not returning to his old Alma Mater to take up where he left off when he was drafted. We should realize that the alleged problems of veterans—battle fatigue, jitters, and limps—have not minimized that old civilian ailment, loneliness. We should help the "new student" veteran feel at home here, and he'll manage his own veteran adjustment problems.
The nation-wide effort to increase fish consumption to balance the meat shortage is meeting with marked success, resulting in the doubling of refrigerated carload shipments of fish and seafoods from the seaboards to all parts of the country, according to the Railway Express.
Rock Chalk Talk
Peeping Jane. Rumor has it that Olivia Garvey's been spending much of her time gazing around the campus. That is, gazing with a pair of binoculars. Joe Bukaty's dance of spring is one of her favorite views.
Bundle for Billy. When Bill Wor-wag was in the hospital, he sent an urgent plea to his roommates at Battenfeld-for, you know, the general shaving and sleeping apparatus. The helpful friends sent a huge bundle to martyred Willie via the housemother. In great anticipation, Bill opened the bundle only to find that they had sent, in lieu of the requested articles: one bow tie, tie clasp, shoe polish, razor (no blade).

Letters to the Editor
Edwards Speaks Up For 'High-Brows'
To the Editor:
Perhaps my voice will come as a cry from the wilderness, or perhaps I'll be part of an indignant flood of protest, but nevertheless may I be permitted to call your attention to a paragraph in the Jan. 22 "Rock Chalk Talk," beginning, "Interesting stuff to see all the folks who turn out to get their share of highbrow offerings," and ending, "... only program he'd ever seen that featured two intermissions."
I have no solutions, no formulate,
no comment, except that now I know
what a high school teacher meant
when he told me, "College has
ruined a lot of good ditch diggers."
Sincerely yours,
Robert O. Edwards,
Freshman, School of Medicine P.S. Won't you please publish this for the benefit of the highbrovs.
Student Says Concern Of Brunk Is Unfounded To the Editor
I can honestly see no real cause for Mr. Brunk's doubtlessly sincere concern expressed in a letter in Monday's Kansan over the so-called friction between Greeks and Independents on the campus.
To the Editor:
The Independents feel no sense of persecution by Greeks, only a desire to partake of the advantages of organization. The Greeks feel no sense of persecution by the Independents. Mr. Brunk's concern, to me, seems unfounded. An Independent.
The purpose of organization among Independents is not to wage war on the Greeks but to help the Independent student—to present the advantages of organization to Independent students just as Greeks, through organization, present advantages to their members. There is no reason to feel noble about saying "I have many friends who are Greeks."—that is as it should be
He charges the Independents with being "discontent" and then declares the discontent is due to the feeling of the Independent that he is "left out." He seems to be trying to comfort the Greeks and Independents by assuring us we are both "good." He urges the two groups to subside and run a normal course else K.U. is doomed to the ranks of the undesirable.

Shades of old Mt. Oread. All semester Meribah Barrett, one of Hank Brown's harem at Ricker hall, has left her books any place she pleases. They just get too heavy so she either plops them behind the bushes in front of the library or hides them in some nook of Fraser.
Imagination, it's wonderful! While on that imaging drive in one of the dramatic workshop productions last week, "little boy" Jack Cannon, knee-socks and all just had to find that "comfort" station. Since the play was given without scenery or props, father, Haney Scott, worked himself to death shifting the imaginary gears in an imaginary car on an imaginary drive in an imaginary country! Ah! Drama!
BOQ, BO-Plenty, BO-Hmmmmm.

KU Kritics. Kenny Nohe has decided that Lala O'Leary should enter the Carruth writing contest. Since he wants a cut in the prize he has designed a book cover for "Lots-o-Lyrics of Lala O'Leary"—including the critical comments: "A vigorous volume of verse, written with gusto and with subdued enthusiasm."—John H. Nelson, critic. "Damn good book."—H.R.H. "A hot book!" R. Wheeler. "The whole of this book is more than the sum of its parts." B. Morrison. "Napoleon would be proud of this noble masterpiece."—Melvin. This does it. This is the END!
