Advertising Manager Dear Editor: University Daily Kansan Depar Editors Letters to the Editor Truly an amazing sight met my eyes as I walked from Lindley hall to Fraser last Friday. Parked cars lined both sides of University drive, and two out of three had red parking tickets. I saw the gentleman who was checking the cars and approached him. He told me that he had already given 75 tickets and there would be more than 100 when he finished. It seems disgraceful that so many students utterly disregard parking rules. Although the offense may seem trivial, it is breaking the law, I do not blame the offenders. The way parking rules are set up now many students trump up excuses, give wrong addresses, fake physical disabilities—anything to get a permit. The permit keeps them from being bothered with tickets. The parking commission should enforce its tickets. The police downtown aren't just kidding when they give tickets. Why shouldn't violations be punished on the campus? The over-all effect of 100 cars parked on the campus with red ticket stuck on them is bad. Something is wrong with a parking system that necessitates such a condition! If closer investigation were made before granting the parking privilege and a ticket really meant that students must pay a fine, perhaps the problem could be corrected. Sincerely V. L. S. Repeat Performance Rep. Marion T. Bennett, Missouri, reported that Congress spent 210% hours last session answering roll calls. This led to a discussion of the uncomfortable congressional seats and then to a discourse on chairs in general. For this we have a Congress. The Pony Express had nearly 200 stations between St. Joseph, Mo., and Sacramento, placed about 20 miles apart. The labor-management conference which began this morning in Washington is similar to one convened by President Wilson on Oct. 6, 1919. Then as now, peace in industrial relations was the goal; the issue was higher wages. The steel strike in 1919 compares with the strikes and strike threats of today. Collective bargaining was recommended then; it is recommended now. Will we find the answer this time? Rock Chalk Talk Round Town—The big noise in the Jayhawker balcony Sunday was none other than baritone Dave Schmidt, an important end of the football squad, reacting to the part where the "Bellboy" was giving "Her Highness" Hedy the American brushoff. —Regular Theta Sunday morning funny-paper services were held in the Hawk this week ala jeans and malts. —Sammy Harris, Phi Delt, has returned to Hill classes and dances and Kappas this semester. —Genia Hepworth and Bob Buechel, Committees, Inc., take turns dictating their business letters to each other, though Genia gets the worst end of the deal since she can type. *** By JOAN HARRIS Ah, sweet revenge!—It all began when Jean Kauffman, Alpha Delta Pi, presented a Phi Bete frosh with a Father's day remembrance last spring. For months, "father Phi" meditated on a plan fiendish enough to settle the score, but it was not until last Friday that he Terry Norton called Jeannie to the door, saying that there was a great big surprise for her on the doorstep, and with visions of convertibles, captains, and fur coats in her mind, Jeannie sped to the door. There ensued a healthy scream—but who wouldn't, what with a mule trying to lick the poor girl in the face. Enclosing a picture of three Greek girls as a remembrance, the society explained it as a "small token of our gratitude of what you have done for Greece during the war." The society wants letters explaining student life in the United States, methods of study, hobbies, and other subjects of interest. Would you like to receive a letter from Athens, Greece? University students in Athens would like to hear from you. Letters sent to Greek sudents should be addressed to Miss M. Ragoussi. Athens University, Psychological Laboratory. 57.-Solonos Street.-57. Athens, Greece. Wanta' New Pen-Pal? Here's the Greek Way Ashburn Writes Lyrics for Musical The Society of Friends of American Studies in Greece wants to sponsor this exchange of letters. The society's aim is to "increase the interest of those who have studied in the United States and others for the purpose of spreading here American ideals and ethical values." Pvt. Ronnie Ashburn, who attended K.U. in 1935-39, is writing lyrics for musical production in an army theatrical training school. He also has a part in the play, "Heart's Desire," to be given soon. Columbus, Ohio. (UP)—Cpl. Le land H. Kinsell of Columbia isn't missing any bets. 'Get Me a Blonde,' G.J. Writes Finsell made his wishes known in a letter to a Columbus newspaper. He wrote that he had been overseas 23 months and that in all that time he didn't have even one date with "a genuine American girl." When he steps off the platform at the train depot here "the home-sick soldier" wants to be met and kissed by "a real live American girl." She must be a blonde with blue eyes, five feet four and weigh 110 pounds. And just to make sure that his homecoming would be different, the corporal said that he would send the newspaper a wire from his port of disembarkation, stating the exact date and time of his arrival in Columbus. An open poem to sorority actives— "Oh give us rules, lots of rules go to campus rides, lots of Rides under campus skies above, But don't fence us in, We'll wear hats and hose and the we'll wear nats and hose and the heels that we abhor, But don't we us in. "We will sit in the dorm in the evenin' hours Dreamin' of the freedom that used to be ours, Lock us up forever, but we ask you Powers, Don't fence us in We want to ride in cars when the spring commences. Guzzle beer and liquor 'til we lose our senses. Cause we can't stand Gastapos and we can't stand fences, Don't fence us in, Oh! no! Actives don't you fence us in." Oh, he swings through the air—Terry Norton was having troubles herself last week. She found herself locked out of her room on a navy liberty night, and with only two hours to get ready! On the suggestion of her roommate, Jeanne Preston, Terry called out the fire department, which drove over, siren et al, to help the fair damsels. Only by swinging on a rope from third floor, climbing through Terry's window and breaking down the door, did our hero solve the situation and save the day for the navy. Indianapolis (UP) — Department store customers are having their inning again now that the war is over. One told off an Indianapolis department store delivery man who cut aeros her lawn recently: "I've been patient for three years now, but the war's over. Young man, you just walk around by the walk," she shouted. The delivery man was 45, but he obeyed.
