Store Scheme
The All-Student Council has approved a scheme which will play havoc with the partitions of the Memorial Union building, but which will provide otherwise unavailable space for the new student book store.
This scheme, which goes next to members of the Memorial Union operating committee for approval, places the bookstore in the subbasement of the Union in space now used for offices of the W.E.C. book exchange, Jayhawker magazine, Student Union Activities committee, and the Independent organization, in addition to part of the room under contract now to the navy for storage.
South of the fountain and behind the book exchange, the navy storage space is five bays wide. (A bay is a space 16 feet square within four pillars.) With its reduced inventory, the navy is expected to use only one of these bays. Of the four remaining, two already have been incorporated in plans for a dance floor adjoining the fountain. The other two will supplement the four sub-basement offices and the hall to provide a large room for the book store. The room will open on the north; the south entrance to the sub-basement will be blocked off.
This plan provides approximately 2,000 square feet for the new enterprise. Survey conducted by the council members show that most college book stores have 5,000 square feet for storage and sales. The K.U. establishment does not need to be this large, however, since it will not stock gifts and furnishings in addition to its school supplies.
With the book store thus planned on paper, the Union architects have proceeded to provide for the Jayhawker, the Union Activities and the Independents. These organizations will be moved to the men's lounge, where partitions will mark off three offices and leave some semblance of a men's lounge.
According to estimates, additional building space which will eventually take care of the bookstore, cannot be constructed for at least a year and a half. Right now, there is no space available on the campus for the store other than that utilized in the tentative plans.
In other words, it is a matter of accepting this upset and getting the book store started now while enthusiasm is high, or waiting two years, perhaps longer, and seeing if students, who have not struggled for permission from the Board of Regents to establish it, will be interested enough to make it a going concern—M.M.
University of Chicago Chancellor Hutchins has been accused of a number of things, but especially of being guilty of an interest in morals, in the intellect - even in education. Still worse, he's guilty of trying to do something about them.
In 1940 Hitler said, "Give me five years more and you'll never recognize Germany." We'll have to give him credit for telling the truth that time.

Culture: Interesting stuff to see all the folks who turn out to get their share of high-brow offerings. It was fascinating to watch those guys flit across the stage, the females stand on their toes and make their legs look bulgy, Bluebeard kill off wives and marry others, and so on at the ballet last week. Joe Brown, Sig Nu, remarked that it was the only program he'd ever seen that featured two intermissions.
Apt Title: Somebody writing one of these gossip columns ought to name it "People who live in glass houses shouldn't."
Return of the BMOC An ex-BMOC waltzed back to his old stomping grounds the other day. He sailed into one Hill office that used to was his castle only to find a trim young thing in complete charge. He rifled the desks and files to see what the score was. Then the lass burned his ears with, "If there's
Prof in the Making? Tod Aikens after he had finished dolling up in a pair of tails for the Phi Psi formal, looked about for his flashy key chain. "After two hours of dressing," shouted Toddy, "I want that chain to complete it." And suddenly it dawned on him—he'd attached the key chain to his shorts so he wouldn't misplace it.
University Daily Kansan To the Editor:
Letters to the Editor Brunk Gives His Opinion On Campus Organizations
Yours sincerely, Eddy Brunk.
The conclusion that one would draw from all the bitter reports and subtle hints against Greek letter organizations is that people only come to college to join such organizations. The ones who don't try to join a Greek letter organization are naturally in opposition to them from the start. The ones who don't get "in" join the others in their resentment. It is useless to try to determine exactly which is the better, but having been both Independent and Greek on this campus, I feel that I can speak about the subject with as much right as anyone.
These are the four main points I have on the subject:
First, people will always form different societies or cliques among themselves. (As a K-State student aptly put it—whether they go by Greek letiers, Chinese diphongs, or Van Johnson's initials.)
Third. Why are they discontented? Because they feel just as they shouldn't feel at all? They feel left out. Left out of what? I have a good many Independent friends and I can't draw the line as to who are the best people when it comes to choosing the best between the two organizations. Both are good if they only realized it. Both have their advantages. No one will deny these facts.
Fourth, If things between the two groups don't subside and run the normal course that other college campuses enjoy, our dear University of Kansas will become a very undesirable place to pursue a college education.
Second, the discontentment on this campus is entirely one-sided.
anything you want to know, I think I can tell you. That drawer is just full of a lot of tripe an old BMOC had hanging around here." And he'd always thought his stuff wasn't so bad.
Undemocratic! One of the campus wits is headed for the army and is greatly disturbed by the service's evident sour attitude. Just because he looked at the army questionnaire and answered the question "What job do you think you are best fitted for?" by saying "Overseeing and aiding in extra-curricular WAC activities," the major blew his top.

' Don't miss it. At the forthcoming "March of Dimes" dance, the muscle boys of the football team will dress in their best—namely the latest in women's bathing costumes.
Sabotage. The Theta Joseph twins have been having their fun. LeRoy Robison and Marsh Fryar have been dating them lately—and the twins have been switching around. When dancing with one Fryar asked, "Pardon me, but could you tell me which one you are so I'll know where to begin my line?" The twin answered coily, 'Don't bother, Marsh, dear, LeRoy's is much better, you know.'
