It's Up to Us
Tomorrow we will be host to the largest homecoming crowd since 1941.
Many parents, friends, and football fans will be visiting the campus for the first time. Many alums will be returning to K.U. for the first time since before the war. What they think of our University after the homecoming festivities will depend, to a great extent, upon the conduct of the "college kids" they met on the campus.
Hundreds of K-State rooters will be among the visitors. Our relations with the Aggies, strained a bit by several close athletic contests last year, could stand improvement. The first step for better understanding between the schools was taken by our student council and K-State's in publishing the 1929 peace pact which appeared in Monday's Daily Kansas. Tomorrow all students can further the "good neighbor" move.
Parents, alums, football fans, and our rivals from Manhattan—it's up to us to make them feel at home.
After the Whistle
According to the present schedule, our classes run for 50 minutes. According to many professors the plan is more like 50-minute classes and 60-minute lectures.
There are times when it takes a professor several extra minutes to wind up a lecture, and there are the habitual "overtime" educators. Student scuttlebutt has resulted in their official classification:
1. Those who wail at length on the abject poverty in which a teacher must live and get to the lecture only about five minutes before whistle time.
2. Those who deliver a 40-minute travelogue and then try to squeeze in a 50-minute lecture.
3. Those who keep lecturing until the whistle blows and then take roll, return quizzes, record grades, and explain, in detail, the next assignment.
4. Those who offer opinions on every other course in the curriculum and get to their own about time you're leaving for your next class.
5. Those who shriek at their own humor at least half of the period before they get going good on the lecture.
Which shall it be — 50-minute classes or 50-minute lectures?
Rock Chalk Talk
By TERRY HERRIOTT
"I have called you to my cave," said the Sage of Mt. Oread, "because it is nearing homecoming day As you no doubt realize, it has been a good while since I have stirred." (And indeed it had.)
He shook his head slowly as he reached over and picked up his March, 1943, issue of "Esquire." "My beard," said the Sage, sometimes called "Old Man Mose," "has grown longer and graver, and this issue of 'Esquire' is getting old, so I thought it high time I talked, with someone." (He stroked his long beard.)
"When I last said farewell to the campus, I knew it would be a good long while before I again emerged from my cave. And incidentally, young man, I always emerge from my cave." (He emerged from his cave.)
"Speaking of stories that I have told takes me back many years" continued the Sage. "In 1912 I was in on the big controversy over whether or not we should have a class whistle. . . and the student vote to eliminate final examinations. In 1919 Jayhawkers weekending in the City were saddened to see the 'Blue Goose' sign at Eighth and Walnut replaced by one announcing the 'Puritan Hotel.' The year 1932 saw the Y.M.C.A. posting 10 reasons why a man should swear. Cracks about the breadline were at their height.
All along I scooped up stories. Like in 1943, the one on sailors who remarked of students running around in shorts "Huh, victory pants—no cuffs."
"Yes," continued the Sage, "many many things have happened on the old campus. And things are beginning to become normal again this year. Why, I even heard that a girl turned down a date the other day. Yes, I did." (And he certainly did.)
"And now," said the Sage, "for a proverb. Let it be known that one coke and two aspirin will . . . "
"And now," said the Sage, picking "Esquire," "I shall return to my cave." (And he did.)
"As I look over Mt. Oread I can well see that the good old days are back," said the Sage. "Every time the Jayhawkers have homecoming I always seem to think back and remember all the little things that have happened. I can remember many things from many, many years in the past because I am a very, very old Sage indeed." (And indeed he is.)
"Next to my 'Esquire,' the Sage commented, "my favorite hobby is women. I am undoubtedly the world's greatest authority on women. I can prove that, because I never tell a story which does not have a woman in it or which does not apply to women."
