Speaking of the Walkout—As Who Isn't—
Here's what it was like in 1941. This year's demonstration after the football game that shoved K-State into the league cellar was no match for the walkout pictured here.
After a victory Convocation celebrating the Jayhawkers' 20-16 triumph over the Wildcats, students took an unscheduled holiday. They paraded to town, picked up a casket, chalked Chancellor Malott's name
on it, and conducted mock funeral services over it down in the park.
Early in the afternoon, the Chancellor was burned in effigy in front of Frank Strong hall. Later, after the striking students let off steam at a dance in the Union, Malott was cheered by 1500 students who joined the Chancellor and faculty members to watch football practice.

A la Comics
"Greasy" Ulmer, with split vest, "Gay-Nineties" hairdo, and tennis shoes, polished silver with smoke from his ragged cigar, and teamed with "Butch" Gibson, who wore soot, shirt tails, and a nondescript hat, on telephone duty. They finally disappeared, hatchets in hand, to return with a disconnected phone which still rang.
Since the good old days before "The Yellow Kid," children under 18 haven't been able to call their amusement their own. The kids above 18 have taken it over.

With the inception of the first comic strip, the hand of the child has been against the father, and the father's hand against the child. Morning and evening there is a struggle which ends in a foot race and a tug-of-war. To the victor belong the spoils of first reading of the comic section.
Serving coffee in tin cups, the four then went into action with jet-propelled rolls, shot onto the table through a rain pipe, to the accompaniment of circus-style cymbol crashes administered by "Slats."
Cartoonists soon realizing what composed their reading public, began relating the adventures of adults, capitalizing on whatever was current in world affairs. Imagination became the right-hand of the cartoonist. Today the comic strip star thinks no more of cracking an atom than he does of breaking an egg.
For years the more aggressive parents, have snatched the papers and sat down unabashed to satain themselves with "Felix the Cat," their guffaws blending with the wails of their offspring.
"Slats" Wiley, in 10-gallon nat tails, and red satin scarf, bossed the crew, warning "Slick" Woodruff, who wore a tuxedo with menu and ceiling prices printed on his shirt, not to eat from the plates he was serving.
Propaganda found its way into cartoons on both the home front, like Junior eating spinach because it makes Popeye strong, and in the war areas, where Joe Palooka saw action and Dan Dunn and Co. smashed a spy ring. The kids learned commando work from "Little Orphan Annie," and Dad kept up on the war (and Burma) from "Terry and the Pirates."
From newspapers the comic strip has advanced to magazines devoted entirely to comics. Gi's go for comic magazines in a big way. Post exchanges in the United States show that purchases of the books run 10 times higher than the combined sales of the Reader's Digest and Saturday Evening Post.
A singing waiter quartet, four faculty members whose services were purchased for $65.50 at the recent World Student Service Fund auction, made its debut, and its finale, at the Sigma Kappa house Tuesday night.
Textbooks of the future will very likely be printed in comic strip form, something like "The Adventures of Minnie the Microbe" or "Alley OOp's Prehistoric Review." Dad will rush home from the sweat shop at night to help Junior with his homework, only to have his aid rejected Junior will become a Phi Beta Kappa in college on his own hook.
Boston (UP)—State Comptroller Frank Lang opened a savings account in a Roxbury bank when he was a boy. Its number was 196144. Ten years later he opened another account in a Boston bank. When he was handed the bank book it was numbered 196144.

University of Chicago Bans Fraternities
Chicago. (Special to the Daily Kansan) — The University of Chicago has banished social fraternities on the undergraduate level, outlawing pledging after March, 1947.
Under the university's present plan, the divisions begin at the end of the conventional sophomore year and continue for three years. The University has invited the fraternities to discuss possibilities of reorganization on the divisional level.
After repeated attempts to sing opera, during which "Greasy" lost the pitch under the table, the quartet triumphantly bellowed "I Want to Be a College Girl."
The Board of Trustees' decision, after two years of investigation by a faculty committee and a University administrative ruling board, does not prohibit fraternities in the graduate divisions, nor does it affect women's clubs.
Chicago has studied the problem since 1944. A seven-member faculty committee, including six former fraternity men, recommended abolishing the social groups. The board of co-ordination of student interests unanimously approved the committee's suggestion and the Board of Trustees' decision followed.
A new house plan was inaugurated this fall to unify the college as a distinct segment of the university, with activities centered in the dormitories. The leadership of older students in the dormitory plan would be lost if they were pledged by fraternities, the trustees' report stated.
